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...

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. 😁

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.

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!).

@royvan6224 2 года назад

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!

@CTCTraining1 2 года назад

Does anyone know the logic of hiding the charging cables under the contents of the boot?

@scottbrown7415 2 года назад

Because you are not supposed to actually carry much of anything back there. Extra weight reduces the effective range.

@scottbrown7415 2 года назад

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.

@enyaq_gorm 2 года назад

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.

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.
