While the Q4 e-tron sports the modern vibe we've come to expect from Audi, it doesn't really stand out from its EV competition. It's not the quickest, most comfortable or most efficient choice in the class. But it's also vice-free, making it an easy EV to drive and live with. If that checks the boxes for you, then it's worth a look.

Pros
- Appealing design
- Helpful technology
- Useful passenger and cargo space
- Competitive base price
Cons
- Disappointing driving range
- Slower to accelerate than some rivals
- Less cargo room than the more stylish Q4 Sportback e-tron
What's new
- Adaptive cruise control with lane centering is now standard on all models
- A universal garage door opener is now available
- Steering wheel paddles for adjusting the amount of regenerative braking force are standard
- Part of the first Q4 e-tron generation introduced for 2022
Overview
The 2024 Q4 e-tron is the least expensive electric vehicle in Audi's lineup, slotting under the Q8 e-tron SUV and e-tron GT sedan. Compared to the Q8 e-tron, the Q4 measures about a foot shorter in length, though passenger and cargo space is only marginally smaller. Underneath, it shares some of its underpinnings with the related Volkswagen ID.4, but the Q4 e-tron has a luxurious interior design with premium materials to justify its price. There's also a sleeker Sportback version that is reviewed separately. For 2024, the Q4 e-tron returns with only minor additions.

Am I Ready for an EV?
- EV ownership works best if you can charge (240V) at home or at work This typically means a 240V home installation, but you could also have a similar setup at your office or other places your car is already parked for several hours each day. Don't expect a regular household outlet (120V) to suffice unless you've got a plug-in hybrid, in which case overnight charging at home is feasible.
- If you can’t charge at home, charging at a charging station could take at least 10x longer than at a gas station With public charging infrastructure still in its infancy, the user experience can be maddeningly inconsistent. Tesla owners tend to rave about the reliability and speed of the company's proprietary Supercharger stations, but rival DC fast options have thus far been plagued by technical issues and overcrowding. It's an evolving landscape and our best advice is to do your research on the available options for the EV you want to buy.
- Adding a 240V home charging system could cost up to $1,600 or more If your existing electrical service can handle the additional demands of EV charging, you may be able to add Level 2 charging at home for less than a grand, including installation. But your costs will multiply if you need to upgrade your electrical panel or add a dedicated circuit.
Edmunds spotlight: Spacious and sensible
Even though the Q4 e-tron is quite a bit smaller than the Q8 e-tron on the outside, its interior is surprisingly accommodating, as pointed out in our Expert Rating below. You can easily fit 6-footers in the rear seats and you're only taking a 15% hit to cargo capacity. Even the coupe-like Sportback model won't force many sacrifices. Unlike some other EVs, the Q4 isn't a drag-race demon right off the line. It accelerates more like a conventional SUV, and while slower than some rivals, it's still plenty quick for the majority of drivers. As much as we like the rush of acceleration, it reduces range and the novelty wears off quickly.
Competitors to consider
Among small electric SUVs, the Audi Q4 e-tron has a handful of direct rivals. The Tesla Model Y gains an advantage for range and performance, but it comes up short in regard to comfort and build quality. We're more partial to the Mercedes-Benz EQB, though the range isn't much better than the Audi's. It seems as though the new Volvo EX30 may be the EV to beat in 2024, as its low price and high range will be difficult to match. Outside of the luxury class, we'd also consider the Kia EV6, Hyundai Ioniq 5 and the Q4 e-tron's corporate cousin, the Volkswagen ID.4.

Rated for you by America's best test team.Performance
7.5/10
How does the Q4 e-tron drive? The Q4 50 e-tron, which is what we tested, feels quick and has tidy and responsive handling. It's also a champ in parking lots and at U-turns thanks to its incredibly tight turning radius. So why does it lag behind much of the pack here? Ultimately, the Q4 just doesn't offer the kind of power or strong regenerative braking to match its peers.
With the Q4 50 e-tron, you get an additional front electric motor for a sizable boost of speed and traction over the single-motor rear-wheel-drive 40 e-tron model. At our test track, the 50 e-tron accelerated from 0 to 60 mph in just 5.7 seconds. That's quick by most measures, but the Q4's current direct competition is over a second quicker.
Regenerative braking, the process by which a vehicle can use its motors to slow and recoup some of its spent energy, is lighter in the Q4 than we'd like. You can dial the strength up or down depending on your preferences using the steering wheel paddles, though we'd wish the strongest setting was more aggressive. There is also no full one-pedal driving, in that the Q4 will not come to a complete stop using regen braking alone. For some experienced EV drivers, this will be a disappointment. Our measured panic-stopping distances from 60 mph were also a bit longer than expected for a luxury electric vehicle.

Comfort
7.5/10
How comfortable is the Q4 e-tron? The Q4 delivers an acceptable level of comfort across the board but won't likely wow you in any particular way. Its greatest quality is a quiet cabin. Our test vehicle had the optional sound-reducing windows, and noises entering the cabin were minimized exceptionally well.
Disappointingly, the ride quality and the seats do little to impress. The front seats lack lateral support and feel just a tad flat. Seat ventilation is not currently an option. We initially thought the Q4 did an admirable job of softening bumps in the road, but on some bumpier sections of highway, it didn't mask its movements all that well, resulting in a busy, choppy ride.
The climate control is easy to set and did a good job of maintaining our target temperature in testing. The air vents are simple and manually adjustable, though the position of the driver's side vents point directly at your hands when they're on the wheel.

Interior
8.0/10
How’s the interior? The interior of the Q4 is a definite highlight. The cabin is easy to slip into and offers generous space and great outward visibility for occupants once inside. Headroom is plentiful, and even people well over 6 feet will fit in the rear row. The floor is also flat in back, making legroom feel even more abundant.
The Q4 recognizes when the key is present so you can just get in and go — no need to power the vehicle on with a button first. Audi's touchscreen menu is not the easiest to navigate, but in the realm of touchscreen controls these are better than others and certainly a huge upgrade from what's in the closely related Volkswagen ID.4. Our biggest gripe involves the touch-sensitive steering wheel controls. They're not as easy to use as the old buttons and we fumbled inputs a few times.

Technology
8.5/10
How’s the tech? Audi typically offers a strong tech package and it was no different in our test vehicle. Our Prestige trim test vehicle benefited from the upgraded Audi Virtual Cockpit, which displays a handy navigation map right in your gauge cluster. This trim also features a new augmented reality head-up display, which projects your turn-by-turn directions on the windshield, which we found pretty neat. The Q4 also has the first audio system tuned by Sonos. Sound quality was good, though we didn't find it particularly special in any way.
There are plenty of USB ports on board plus an optional wireless charger as well as wireless and wired smartphone connectivity with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Audi's voice control system understands some natural language, allowing you to adjust the climate control and make all the usual common commands. But it's not quite as advanced as some of the newest voice recognition systems in other brands.
A comprehensive suite of driver aids is included in the Premium Plus trim level and up, and the aids are very well tuned. We particularly like that Audi's system can sense when you have a hand on the wheel and doesn't require that you jiggle it every so often just to prove you're still there. The only thing we're missing is a surround-view camera, which most competitors offer.

Storage
7.5/10
How’s the storage? The Q4 offers a decent amount of space for cargo, though others simply offer more. There's 24.8 cubic feet of space available behind the rear seat, which is comparable to the Genesis GV60 but can't compete with the Tesla Model Y and its 30.2 cubic feet. And this doesn't even include the Tesla's 4.1-cubic-foot front trunk, something the Q4 doesn't have. We do like that you can fold the rear seatbacks flat and have the flexibility to fold the rear seat in three sections.
If child safety seats are a part of your life, we found there to be a good amount of space for them in the back seats, and we like how the LATCH covers slide up out of the way rather than pop out, which is usually the first step to losing them. There are three top tether anchors on the back of each seat so you can fit a seat in any of the positions.
Storage for small items in the cabin is also decent but not amazing. There's a pretty sizable rubberized spot for personal effects right underneath the gear selector, and the center armrest bin is pretty deep even if it is square-shaped. The integrated bottle holders in the doors are clean, simple and functional.

Range and Efficiency
7.0/10
How are the range and efficiency? The EPA estimates that the 2022 Q4 50 e-tron Quattro, which is the one we tested, has a range of 241 miles on a full charge. (It's worth noting that the 2023 model has an official EPA range of 236 miles.) Both model years are reported to use 36 kWh of electricity for every 100 miles traveled. Neither figure is particularly impressive. But on the Edmunds EV Range Test, our 2022 test model traveled 270 miles, nearly 30 miles more than its EPA estimate, and needed only 31.3 kWh of energy for every 100 miles. (Remember that the lower the kWh figure here, the better.)
This range should be enough for most EV buyers, and it was comparable to what the Genesis GV60 returned, though both were well behind the Tesla Model Y Long Range. However, if you factor in the difference in power between the Q4 and most other EVs in this class, the range and efficiency are a bit less impressive.
As far as charging goes, the Q4 e-tron is capable of DC quick charging at a rate of 150 kW, which is decent. Under optimal conditions, Audi estimates you'll be able to go from 5% to 80% battery charge in 36 minutes if quick charging. By comparison, using the right charging stations and under ideal conditions, the Model Y would take about 27 minutes, and the GV60 around 18 minutes to achieve the same battery charge.

Value
7.5/10
Is the Q4 e-tron a good value? In its single-motor form, the Q4 e-tron has a lower cost of entry than most of its luxury competition. When it's fully optioned up, the Q4's price aligns with its peers, though at that level it doesn't offer quite the same power or level of features.
Audi always does a nice job with interior design, and it helps to elevate the look and feel of the car. The Q4's interior feels thoroughly modern but there are parts of it, like the plastic on the center console and wood trim pieces, that look a bit low-budget. So ultimately, we think the Q4 offers relatively average value for the money. The Q4's warranty and roadside assistance coverage are solidly average as well.

Wildcard
7.5/10
We think most people will find the Q4 e-tron mildly fun to drive. "Mild" also applies to the Q4's exterior design. It's not pushing any boundaries or starting any trends, but it's also not offensive or trendy. It's pleasant enough to look at but few people are going to give it a second glance.
Which Q4 e-tron does Edmunds recommend?
Deciding between the Q4 40 e-tron or Q4 50 e-tron really comes down to whether you need all-wheel drive or not. If you live in a wet or snowy region, all-wheel drive makes more sense, while those in milder climates can enjoy the longer range of the rear-wheel-drive models. Once that decision is made, we recommend the midrange Premium Plus trim. You get a lot of desirable features for a reasonable price increase over the base model.
Audi Q4 e-tron models
Audi offers the 2024 Q4 e-tron in two versions: Q4 40 e-tron and Q4 50 e-tron. Each uses an 82-kWh battery pack.

I'm absolutely in love with my new Q4 - Etron. My first experience with an EV and absolutely love it. I was on a waiting list for the Cadillac Lyriq but decided to move forward with the Audi. I'm so glad I did. The ride is comfortable and quiet. My vehicle was upgraded with the Sline package which gave me the upgraded sports seats and steering wheel.

2023 Audi Q4 e-tron Premium Plus 4dr SUV w/40 (electric DD)
Long term Audi owner here, and this is my second EV. I love my Q4! It’s great to commute, run errands, plug in and do it all again. I live in the Bay Area, so charging away from home is not an issue. The Chronos system sounds great, driving is easy and sporty, and the range is fine. When it’s very cold, range does go down, but I find if I turn the car on using The Audi App Climate … Control, the car heats up and the loss of range is minimal. I have the slower one of the line up, but it’s got great pick up, I can pass others and get out if situations quickly. very happy with my 2023 Audi Q4!

2023 Audi Q4 e-tron Premium Plus 4dr SUV AWD w/50 (electric DD)
I leased a 2023 Q4 Premium Plus S-Line because it was one of the only EVs available with dual motors, cold-weather options, and a tow hitch. The headline here is that the driving part is okay, but the other electronics are an utter mess. The car will always try to log you in when you turn it on, but sometimes this process takes ages or fails altogether. The radio will play random … stations rather than the last one you listened to. The volume level is anyone’s guess. And yet, it’s not easy to change the volume or the station. Preset buttons have been replaced by a touchscreen that you can’t use without looking away from the road. The volume controls on the wheel and console are touch-sensitive and impressionistic at best; gone are the precision and surety of a manual dial. One time, the car started and the touch screen didn’t turn on at all. It was almost a relief.
But it’s not just the radio. The navigation map is endlessly frustrating. You can zoom in on the map… but in a few seconds the system will zoom out again of its own accord. The range estimates vary wildly and seem only to care about efficiency over the last few miles you drove. In fact, the only thing on the console that works more or less as it should is the climate control, operated safely and securely by actual buttons. As for the rest of the cabin, it’s spacious and the seats are comfortable, though the leather feels much cheaper than on earlier models.
Oh, and that tow hitch? When attaching or detaching anything, you may inadvertently set off the automatic trunk opener – not a good luck when there’s a bike rack in the way. The dealer said they didn’t know how to deactivate the sensor. Sad!
The car drives well enough. It’s heavy, but the center of gravity is sufficiently low that it corners fine. That said, you’ll have to learn to brake earlier and harder. More than once, stopping while going downhill required standing on the brakes. The acceleration is good off the mark, as with most EVs, but nothing special at highway speeds.
What about efficiency? You can expect to get 2.5 to 3 miles per kWh most of the time… unless you’re traveling at low speeds on a slight downhill incline and never meet a red light. The range for an 80% charge is usually listed around 200 miles, but achieving it is rare – especially since the car begs to be recharged with 30 miles left.
Overall, I’m glad I only got a lease. Cars with this range will be obsolete in a few years, and I’ll never be in love with this one. Audi made great cars up through about 2018 – what happened?
