Audi Q4 E-Tron (2021-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Plush cabin is packed with tech	A Skoda Enyaq has a longer range for a lot less cash
Capable of charging at 100kW or 125kW, depending on the model	Irritating touch-sensitive controls on the steering wheel
Roomy enough for a family of four	Doesn't really stand out from a crowded field of rivals

Quick Summary

The Audi Q4 E-Tron is a mid-sized premium family electric SUV that sits between the Q3 and Q5 in Audi's line-up. Available as a standard model or sleeker Sportback variant, it's the brand's most attainable pure electric vehicle, built on Volkswagen Group's MEB platform. Battery options include a 52kWh unit offering 208 miles of range, or a larger 77kWh pack providing up to 316 miles. The range-topping Q4 50 E-Tron adds four-wheel drive and 295bhp for a 0-62mph time of 6.2 seconds, though high-spec trims with larger alloys can reduce range by up to 20 miles.

The Q4 E-Tron delivers a well-rounded electric driving experience with a plush, tech-laden interior featuring a responsive 10.1-inch touchscreen, virtual cockpit digital dials, and traditional climate controls. Practicality is adequate with a 520-litre boot and flexible seating, though rivals like the Skoda Enyaq iV and VW ID.4 offer more space. Running costs are competitive, with home charging costing around 5p per mile, plus significant tax savings compared to petrol or diesel equivalents. The adaptive brake regeneration system and optional square steering wheel add character, though touch-sensitive wheel controls can be frustrating. Servicing is affordable from £22 monthly.

Best for: Premium buyers seeking a well-equipped electric family SUV with strong charging capabilities and a tech-focused interior, plus those wanting to avoid road tax and premium vehicle tax.

Not ideal for: Budget-conscious buyers (the Skoda Enyaq iV offers better value), those prioritising maximum interior space, or drivers who dislike touch-sensitive controls and unconventional steering wheels.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Q4 E-Tron if: You're a premium buyer seeking a well-equipped electric family SUV with strong charging capabilities, a tech-focused interior, and want to avoid road tax and premium vehicle tax.

Consider alternatives if: You're budget-conscious (the Skoda Enyaq iV offers better value), prioritise maximum interior space, or dislike touch-sensitive controls and unconventional steering wheels.

Competitive Position: The Audi Q4 E-Tron is a fine all-rounder in the premium electric SUV segment, offering a plush cabin, impressive charging speeds, and solid practicality for families. However, it struggles to stand out from an increasingly competitive field. The VW ID.4 and Ford Mustang Mach-E offer better value and more space, whilst the Skoda Enyaq iV delivers similar quality and longer range at a significantly lower price. The Mercedes EQA provides comparable premium appeal. For those who can justify the premium price and value Audi's badge and tech-laden interior, the Q4 E-Tron is thoroughly recommendable, but it's not the obvious choice in this crowded market.
