2023 audi Q4 e-tron Review: A Positive Drive, With Some Caveats ...
• The new model’s range was greatly affected by the intense cold of early February.In 2023, Audi is no longer limited to the e-tron SUV duo and e-tron GT super sedan in its EV offering. For some time now, Audi has featured in its lineup the Q4 e-tron and its Sportback sloping-roof variant.
It’s with this in mind that we test-drove the new electric crossover, which is joining a category that's in full expansion mode right now, needless to say.Beyond its technical similarities to the Volkswagen ID.4, the Q4 e-tron is very Audi in appearance, the brand's designers successfully disguising the model's VW origins. The bumper still makes use of a prominent “grille”, but it's a single panel, as is the case with a majority of electric vehicles.
The other difference with the VW is that the screen is actually integrated into the dashboard, as opposed to the tacked-on ID.4 screen. In fact, the slightly slanted angle towards the driver is another strong point of the Q4. The screen is very responsive, as are the quality of its graphics. The icons are of good size, but there are a lot of them. I sometimes had to stop to figure out the multiple applications of the infotainment system.
Finally, cargo space is exactly the same as in a Q5. The Q4 e-tron also offers underfloor storage for a charger or any other valuables that need to be hidden from view.The Q4 e-tron’s output is the same as the ID.4's most-powerful trim - 295 hp and 339 lb-ft of peak torque. Fitted with a pair of motors, the Q4 e-tron is exclusively four-wheel drive in Canada. The 82-kWh battery is the same as in the ID.

Will we see an SQ4 e-tron variant equipped with brakes that really bite? We can hope. Whether the Q4 is as attractive as other electric SUVs of comparable size is debatable. The model should do well intitially, because at hte moment demand is vey high and supplies are still pretty low. Some consumers may be choosing a particular model simply because it is available.
