I'm glad you pointed out that new technology most people don't use... turn signals new for 2022. Comedic gold!
BMW and Audis exempt from signalling.They think they own the road
@@davevolz6138 I never let them in especially people with blacked out tail lights. I'll just say I didn't see them 😂
@@Specialist7 Good!
Just drove it . Ordering one
Without doubt the clearest and most detailed review I’ve seen to date! I ordered mine in Nov 2021 and was originally given a Dec 2022 delivery date (UK) not been told of any delays yet but wouldn’t be surprised if there is!
Thank you
I enjoyed the video, thanks! Could you let me know if it really is a 2023 Model or one of the "stored 2022" models also is the front camera and the wireless charging for sure operational?
Got mine 3 weeks ago and its exactly like this one!
Just got one…not the coupe. Wife took it from DC to Boston and back. Did well but she said we need better infrastructure
Turn signal portion was hilarious 😂 also please turn the signals off 😡. People driving for miles with them on 🤦♂️. The UI reminds me of the Blackberry Storm.
The most unique part of this car is the cool daytime running light can change to 4 styles, but you didn’t show it.
I’m actually partial to the XC40 Recharge. Although the relatively middling range isn’t great (but driving 90% in town commuting that’s not a big deal). Oh, and I like Apple Maps - hasn’t led me astray and the voice prompts actually come in time to get ready whereas I’ve found google maps to tell me turn too late, as in already passed the exit.
14:30 finally someone shows love to the Audi mmi lol i never use carplay
Wow…this is a very detailed and well put together video. I am not planning to buy it…but still got me intrigued as the video was more in-depth 😄
Good job 👍🏽

Welcome
Is this the 2023 model or just a 2022 with options?
Can you drag race the Accord Hybrid vs 2.0t.
Mach E is worth a shout. I know its in a diff class, but since u bring up EV6. Compared to BMW IX which is crazy priced, Q4 is a very competitive car. Wish 0-60 was sub 5 seconds. Merc is so behind the curve in EV. In terms of size, is it comparable to Q5?
The Q4 is cool, but overpriced. For a car of that price, they could have added ventilated seats. Also have an option for air suspension.
Cue the onslaught of the ugly SUV, now featuring battery power. Oh well, great job Sam and shout out Thomas for another solid videography effort!
Thank you Jim 😊
what color is that? Is that the pebble grey?
drum brake?
Im not into little SUVs generally...but this one looks damn good
Agreed
Coupey SUVs are love/hate when judging the looks! Maybe because this is smaller its less harsh to look at. The big BMW and Merc coupe SUV's, personally I find them to be just too much.
Man that Audi software UI makes me reallly appreciate my Tesla
Very well filmed
Thank you
A small point, but to see the bare metal surrounding the windows inside the car is very poor given the price of the vehicle. Signs of cost cutting.
Little details like that show you that it's really a premium VW, and not true Audi. I have one Sportback for 9 months now and it's more premium than ID4, but nowhere near A6.
Have I been saying “coupe” wrong most my life?
When they pick SONO for their premium audio choice. It really says something about their perceived audience.
how do these dealerships lend you the car for the day? do you show them that you're a TH-camr and you get it for free or do you have to pay them? just really curious if anyone could tell me id appreciate it lot thank you
It’s who you know and if they trust you.
@@SamCarLegion thank you
Audi loaned me the Q4 for a day and I’m a nobody. I went for a test drive in the morning. Loved it, but wasn’t super stoked with the idea of going from no car payment to a payment. They asked if I wanted to drive the car for the rest of the day. I said “why not.” I started at 100% battery and got it down to about 70% so I could experience charging it for a few minutes. Brought it back 7 hours later and after signing for about 30 minutes, it became mine. If they hadn’t loaned me the car for the whole day I probably wouldn’t have bought it. I got to experience “life” with it. Picked my son up from school, ran an errand, parked it in the garage. They knew what they were doing. They’re practically giving these away in the US.
out of curiosity, what is your native language Sam? :) Italian or other ?
3:50 hahaha
Nice car 👍
ovERPRICED!!!!
Aaah, you look so cute in all of your
Orage!
Thank you :)
nice looking car- but only 236 miles of range- makes it dead in the water for Americans. Needs 100 more.
I like the style of this suv, but when I saw the range, no frunk, average charge times and lackluster performance I just could not justify the $65K the dealer was asking and ended up buying a Tesla Model Y instead.
This car is much more comfortable for daily drive than the “Y”
@@eds4743 I agree, but I added aftermarket "comfort suspension" from Unplugged Performance and now my model Y is just as comfortable.
It is not a lemon for sure, but is it worth the price? Imho, no.
There's better alternatives!
no apple carplay?!
Morning
Morning
Audi is out of there minds
ID5, not ID4
Canada won’t get ID5
Electric cars are great but technology is really behind. Winter time these cars can't travel far. Friend of mine got Tesla X, Toronto to Montreal in Winter took him just under 12 hours to reach. On Full charge it could travel only 200 Kilometers before he had to charge it and it takes longer to charge too in Winter. Until they can get these cars to go 1000KM and charge under 30 minutes. NO way I would ever buy an electric car. No matter how fancy they make them.
sorry but no it won't take you 12 hours to do 550km in the winter time with a Tesla................
@@SkyRL25 Which Tesla do you own? Have you made the Trip? Post some proof, that you did it in Minus 30 from Toronto to Montreal and I will believe you.
@@precisionmotors long range model 3, of course if you drive at 120 km it gonna killl your range but 12 hours is a little bit exaggerate................ its not like its minus 30 everyday in winter....
That's great news! One more for those who don't need to drive 12 hours during winter.
Hm. I did 900km with Q4 Sportback in 10h, in winter. All together charing took 1h. An hour that I also used for food, bio break, etc... You charge every 200-250km for ~20min.
I saw one of these at an AUDI dealership here in Southern California. Sticker price is $60,110 USD. I think the range is 244 miles. Too short of a distance for a $60K car. I was impressed when I first saw it, until I saw the eTron S Sportback $97,000 USD, a larger variant of this Q4 eTron Sporback. The range on the eTron S Sportback is 214....LOL. No way am I buying an Audi when Tesla can offer longer drive ranges close to 373 miles for the Model S.
It's amazing to me that automakers are offering inferior tech, range, and engineering for the same amount or more than a Tesla. Why would anyone who isn't a diehard brand enthusiast want to buy something that offers less but costs the same or more? Sure, the interiors are nicer, but aside from some tricks and treats, what else are they offering?
@@DescartesRenegade Here's the sad of the matter. EV's are virtually maintenance-free. Service is a huge money maker for car dealerships. Audi is charging, according to an owner of an Audi EVn eTron S Sportback, $380 for a tire rotation and brake flush...LOL. A brake flush on a gas car is $50. A tire rotation $20. Just because it has an Audi brand, they want people to think it still costs to maintain EV's like a gas car. They will find anything and everything to nickel and dime consumers on unnecessary EV service.
@@dapperlygrungy3189 brake flush on a car with regenerative braking? Brakes probably last half a decade or more. I do love the look of the etron GT tho
@@DescartesRenegade Audi is charging approx. $380 on a brake flush and tire rotation, according to a youtuber on his eTron. On a gas car a brake flush costs approx. $50 and a tire rotation costs $20. Because EV's are nearly maintenance-free, Audi is finding ways to charge service on EV's, because they know once everyone goes electric, they won't be able to gouge like they do with gas cars.
@@DescartesRenegade Yes, Rene it seems you still can think, therefore I am 😂in my EV6 AWD with all packs still saving 30‘000 USD and get closer to TESLA as everybody else.
Copied Doug’s intro 😂
From 57k. Nice
Common Audi, you can do better; with just 218 miles of range and no fast charging option.
Better options are available in the market; Audi Q4 E-Tron offers only "promises".
No fast charging? 0-80% in 30 minutes is not considered fast charging? I definitely have to sell my Model 3 in that case.
The Q4 e-Tron is very impressive, similar range as the Model Y with a more luxurious interior. It’s also V2G and V2H capable.
@@lorenzmuller4000 Some vehicles are capable of 0-80% in less than 20 mins.
A similar range of Model Y? Am I reading numbers wrong? Audi is only capable of 218 EPA mileage
@@SharedMFamily I know only one car in this price class that is capable of 0-80% in less than 20 min and that is the KIA EV6 and it only works under perfect conditions (-> coldgate, rapidgate, etc…).
And that the EPA numbers are not comparable at all is not a secret, Tesla uses a different test cycle to get the EPA range. The Taycan also had a very low EPA range but crushed it in the real world. While WLTP is too generous, it’s great for comparisons, because the test cycle is always the same. The Model Y is advertised with 533km (331.19 miles) and the Q4 e-Tron sportback with 542km (336.78 miles).
@@lorenzmuller4000 I believe Edmunds publish real world figures for most popular EVs. The real world figures show Tesla overstate their figures whereas many manufacturers understate the range. The real world range is a lot closer than the EPA figures would suggest.
worst camera ever. invest in more cameras. i only saw the talking head guy driving. not the actual driving or the dash
Ugh....
All new electric cars are overpriced.
They really aren't. They are a bargin. Important thing to note is that they have additional functionality. This Q4 will soon have bidirectional charging. You will be able to power your house from the car. 10kWh battery is around 10-15k USD. This car has almost 80kWh. Which means that battery alone should be over 100k USD.
@@voksic13 Might be different in US, but in UK they are way too expensive.
The Genesis GV60 is just so much better in so many ways. Actually makes this Audi look bland and boring IMO.
Hahahahaha sure
Junk
Compared to what?
All Audi junk my friend
