- Today, Tish has got her hands on the Audi Q4 E Tron, or as she likes to call it, 'the big purple one'. It's a solid family car that COULD be the affordable entryway to owning a luxury car. If ONLY it didn't have this one thing...

Thanks for good review. Btw the trunkspace is 520 litres, not 420.
Stunning. The car too.
Great review Tish!
Great review! Thanks
A number of mistakes in this review! For example. The electric tailgate is not standard on all models, if comes standard on the S-line up. Also the head-up-display is an optional extra! (Not fitted as standard).
Power operated tailgate is standard on even the entry level sport trim. I also do not mention that the head-up display is standard but apologies if this was not clear enough.
@@AutoSocialUK 8:41 - "The Q4 comes fitted with augmented reality display". Wish it did - tech pack isn't cheap!
Totally agree with you on all points, sportback looks great. 😁 The boot space lid-thingy feels like they stole it out of a Ford sierra. 🤣 some facts were a bit off but with this much info I get that it is a challange. I would go for the sportback 40, longest range and best looks. Better start saving. 😁
You and I have very different ideas of "affordable". *Affordable* would be half the price.
You must be pretty fond of walking!
@@scottbrown7415 Walking is nice. It's quite natural actually
Half the price wouldn't get you much car in this day and age unfortunately. My Q4 was about £50k and although you're paying mostly for the battery tech it's still a great "pretty reasonable" car
half the price barely gets you a pair of decent walking boots
@@azertyytreza8947 🤣🤣🤣
Nice review! I have one on order as my company car. The Q4 is actually cheaper than an Enyaq or ID4 on my scheme so was a bit of a no brainier. Wouldn’t buy it with my own money though - £50K for a well-specced version is way too much. Tried a lot of cars - all the MEB platform ones, an Ionic 5 and Volvo XC40. The Q4 was the best one for me for price and practicality. Would say all cars at this level though are great cars so I wouldn’t have been disappointed with any of them (okay maybe the ID4 due to the infotainment!).
In my opinion the ID4 drives very bad. Not what I’m used for Volkswagen in general.
I looked at several EV’s and they all seemed like a workstation inside with big tablets in the centre or after thought pods on the dash. Q4 is one of the few, if not the only, to be “like a car” inside.
Exactly the reason I like this car the most.
One of the reasons I ordered one. That and I liked the styling and on my company scheme it’s cheaper than an Enyaq.
Good review, we visited Audi Huddersfield as we fancy the Vorsprung version but there didn’t seem to be any staff, we hung about for a while than had to get on with our day so left it at that.
@@smoxesk Nope, Halifax
@@stevenbarrett7648 best to buy online and buy phone. Local dealers tend to screw you over.
Excellent review…..have just ordered an SLine Sportback ! Delivery lead time long but will be worth the wait.
Where do you live and how long is the delivery time?
@@royvan6224 I ordered Q4 sportback company leasing a bit over a month ago with ETD September 23, but I hear they are bringing this forward. (in Belgium)
@@KrisBuytaertco yours is delivered in september? Dude that’s nice!
@@royvan6224 mind the year September 2023! so 23 is not the day but the year :). In fact it's not that bad to wait while the charging infrastructure is maturing.
@@KrisBuytaertco hahah I thought so September this year is very fast.
Excellent review, Tish. SUVs (even electric ones) aren’t my cup of tea at all, but you made that purple monster seem rather attractive!😆
Boot space 420l? Or 520liter?
The silver accents you mentioned can be switched out for a "black optics" package, which gives a blacked-out grill and eliminates all chrome switched to black.
Tish and a purple monster, now there's a video😀
Isn't the boot 520L?
Own a Q4 40 S-line one. Its a very good car and the steering controls are not as finicky as many reviewers claim. They are quite good in my experience. Lack of certain high-end features for a car of this price is my major disappointment- likes of 360 degree camera, seat adjustments memory functions etc should be standard features like in an Ioniq5. Come on , Audi!
How many wage earners have £41,000 cash and can take £10K depreciation loss each year that is £30 per day loss just sitting in the garage unused .
That's why it's called "affordable Luxury", rather than just "affordable". As in "Still expensive, just not as pricey as some others"
Very few people pay cash. It’s all down to the monthly’s. And a lot will go to company car schemes where the BIK makes them very affordable compared to their ICE equivalents. Also Audi reckon this will be one of their slowest depreciating cars, so depreciation should be better than on equivalent petrol models.
You won’t lose 30k in 3 years on one of these…
@@ryanwilkins3206 and definitely not £40k in 4 years!! Would love a 4 year old electric q4 for £1000!
@@contessa.adella umm .. middle class is 30K a year salary in the UK. Spending a year's salary on a car ain't it chief.
Would love to see a Tish review of the new 2022 MG ZS EV facelift with comparisons to this!
Since when was £40,000 affordable?
In today's world of inflation. £40K thirty years ago is equivalent to about £77K today.
@@Ytytfytfujbyddutrxrt he is pointing out that everything is expensive these days. KIA have a forthcoming EV that is priced from £60k, that's £60k for a KIA! Inflation and quantitative easing has lead to cost increases on everything.
Affordable like expensive or what ever is all relative to your income. Someone with minimum wage wouldn’t consider such car or even a new car so no new car is affordable. For people that look at new electric cars this is probably an affordable one.
Brill Tish!
How about testing the 2024 Q4?
This was a great review! I am dying for the Q4 to be released in the US!!!
ME TOO!
at 1:23 when you show the specs of the car, that isn't the Q4 that is the larger E-Tron model.
Can’t believe no 360 camera option
Does anyone know the logic of hiding the charging cables under the contents of the boot?
Because you are not supposed to actually carry much of anything back there. Extra weight reduces the effective range.
Tish. You might want to go into the serviceability aspect of those vehicles. Especially when they are promoted as a luxury vehicle! How accessible and serviceable is it's battery pack?
Give a good look at the design of the cooling/warming system for the battery pack. How accessible is it? Step up to the dealership parts counter and brace yourself for the cost of the cooling/ warming system major components! Also, what is the cost of the various battery packs? Inquire about the labor time involved to replace it. These things matter in the real world.
How realistic is it that users need to get the battery serviced? They have an 8 year warranty by which time most people will have sold the car on. And there are plenty EVs out there with high mileage (taxis for example) with very few issues occurring with the batteries in real life.
A new word, "clumbersome" 😎 great review, but as usual the Audi version is a lot worse value than the VW and Škoda versions of the same car.
Anything luxury doesn’t have great value
Clumbersome was good, but I also liked 'augumented'.
Nope - used to be that case but worst value for money is suprisingly the skoda enyaq which is quite overpriced
@@nickbien how do you figure that out?
@@raftonpounder6696 because the cars are more expensive and that means it depreciates faster and looses more value.
Ordered mine in Oct 21, estimated delivery Oct 22 😕
Skoda Enyaq is the sweet spot in the VW group. Front looks odd.
Boot space is suppose to be 520l not 420
I've seen this on other reviews too. However, I'm really confused as the Mitsubishi outlander PHEV is quoted as 463 and having looked at them next to each other is much bigger! I think 420 is actually more realistic but where is the 520 coming from??? :o
Love everything about it and it is beautiful !!
Great fun, by turning the radio up 🤦♂️
For the whole video i was searching anything i could relate to "affordable" and i failed.
Decent Audi etron that
I think the boot is 520 Litres not 420. 1490 when seats folded
Excellent review :) but in the intro you said it was built on the same platform as skoda enyaq but it was an octavia in the picture 😅😅☺☺
Ha Ha...
Yes, I noticed that, too...! 🤣
Also it was the Etron in the pics going through the trim levels beforehand lol
She is a presenter, not a broad knowledge of platform or chassis sharing within a company.
@@scottbrown7415 she is going to be offended at that comment!
TISH SMASHING IT as one of the new presenters 🤟👏
Thank you so much 🥰🥰
Don't you have a 360° camera?
" The big purple one " :D :D
Obviously the duel motor , long range model Y is a much better , smarter choice .
No dedicated charging network and having to have regular service intervals (to keep the dealers in business) is a massive down side for me.
It's an Audi. The regular service requirements are only there to get the vehicle to the point of needing the much more profitable unscheduled maintenance!
If you read the tesla documents you're supposed to do exactly the same checks on brakes etc as Audi but tesla say every 12 months whereas Audi is every 2 years.
And ionity is their "dedicated network" cheaper than superchargers too.
Decent
発音いいね👍
DECENT
They really call it "Vorsprung" in the UK? To me as a german this sounds pretty funny when pronounced with an english accent :-)
Hate the large over sized front corner scoops that is all the rage with Lexus, Toyota, and apparently Audi.
If you don't like the chrome bits, then tell there is a black package available
So this audi is £25K?
I’m feeling decent today please could I get the electrical scooter you don’t know how much it will help me in my day to day life 😌
Just don’t mention the drum brakes, even on the top spec 50 at over £60k…Even my Nissan Leaf has disk brakes all round.
They're not ordinary 'drum brakes' from the past. They are a modern version designed to work with regenerative braking. You will notice a lot of electric cars have a similar set up.
@@Marvhead thanks for info good to know but for a car weighing over 2 tons and with nearly 300bhp I’d like to have proper brakes for my £60k..I’ll reserve final judgment till I drive that version.
👏👏👏👍👍👍
If you don't like Audi's distinctive alloy insert you should purchase a very British Range Rover Evoque, perfect car for British ladys
Is it bothering anyone else that the cut snippets are actually showing the wrong cars to the ones she talking about?
No? Just me then...
#M365❤️
It looks just too cheap for me. While I was considering buying one, the plastic design and touchscreen controls where putting me toally off. Even a Q3 looks more high-quality than the Q4 from the outside. And having rage after rage because an idiotic steering wheel messes around with you music and settings is a big no-no. Maybe they bring out something better. But what they currently made is having too much dissappointing design ideas which prevents me from buying it.
Having specced up this in various ways, a lot of this information is wrong
Only one problem it’s a Audi
EV6 all day long
The front end design is much more sporty than the US models unfortunately. Furthermore, the wheel selections are ugly. There is something very wrong about the Audi marketing people in the US truly sucks, really watered down the design that they considered as 'luxury', like adding fake wood grain dash on the passenger side. Pathetic ideas!
I went to test drive it, and the interior was was sooo plasticky.
i would buy the cheapest chinese electric car for daily driving, and keep combustion engine for long journeys.
Shown model is the 50 high-end prestige s-line. About $70k in US. Not really affordable to the majority of people.
Not 70k I spec one out at my dealer and it was 61,700 all in with S Line package.
Other than then having a nicer interior, the Audi is blown away by the Model Y in every other respect. Good effort Audi(condescending pat on the back to VW/Audi engineers)
in my opinion model Y is butt ugly
Depends. If you do not need ventilated seats, an adjustable headrest, blind spot detection, good quality build - Model Y is definitely better. MY just has nothing to do with being Luxury Car :)
Affordable? 😂
Affordable???????????????????????????????
9 seconds !! WTF !!
40 grand affordable!!..fuck me I Don't know what planet you people are on but it ain't mine.
what a load of crap ionic 5 far superior and cheaper
Have you driven both?
Hot 😉
Always first
How the fuck is this affordable there is not even one car on the market that an average uk house hold can afford, any electric car on the market. Your talking £650 a month after £5000 deposit lowest entry car, am average affordable car for an average UK house hold would be around £ 12 - 15 thousand .
another trashy blob-like SUV.
How does ir compare to the market leading Tesla. How odd not to compare to say Model Y. Is Joe Biden running electroheads? Tesla who?
The Model Y isn’t going to be delivered in the UK until next year. So it’s not market leading here.
@@matpat2636 until it is available then will blow all others away just like everywhere else on the planet.
@@peteramey9385 not necessarily. It's really expensive here. Over £20 k more that the Enyaq and Ioniq 5 for example. Also it's received some middling press especially for it's brittle ride and poor NVH. There are now better cars available in that regard. If they release the base model, and if prices come down when Giga Berlin comes on line, it will have a better chance. Irrespective, that wasn't your complaint. You criticised the review for not comparing against the Model Y, which isn't out here yet. They didn't really compare the Q4 to anything in the review.
@@matpat2636 Tesla fanboys just like to complain. It is what it is!
@@peteramey9385 It won't! Tesla had market advantage because it was the first "real" FEV. The traditional brands have caught up. They'll conquer the EV market through the leasing companies.
🐫🦶
What a cutie ! DM me
Not worth the money.
Skoda and Seat are making better looking cars than Audi and Vw in recent years and this is a good example, don’t like it at all
Now there’s a new word: CLUMBERSOME.
Nope. It ain’t in the OED…but the word cumbersome is.
Who is this little girl telling the story, eh? She needs a tad more weeks in school learning correct English instead of making it up.
(Probably thinks the word license is a noun!).
Who thought this poorly spoken Chavy Tart would make a good car presenter ffs?
Go back to your mum's basement x
Audi haven’t built a decent looking car since 2005 , Soooo ugly
Naa the A8s and the etron look cool
You don't know what your on about woman
