Good

The 2025 Audi Q4 E-tron is an easy EV to drive and live with. It also has a great-looking interior fitted with plenty of Audi's latest technology features. However, comfort, range and charging are all lacking compared to what you get from other electric luxury SUVs.Read full review

Overview

Written by automotive expert James Riswick

3/9/2026

The 2025 Audi Q4 E-tron is Audi's small electric SUV. It could appeal to you if you're looking for a more premium experience than what the Kia EV6s and Tesla Model Ys of the world can provide. Mostly, you're getting elevated cabin quality and classier overall refinement by picking a Q4 E-tron. Performance and range improvements the last two years have also made the Q4 E-tron far more compelling than when it debuted for the 2022 model year.

Edmunds spotlight: More power, more range

Audi substantially improved the Q4 E-tron halfway through the last model year. The dual-motor version received more power, better range and quicker fast-charging capability. Audi also changed the steering and suspension to make the Q4 E-tron a little sportier to drive. For 2025, the rear-motor-only base version gets some updates. Last year's Q4 40 E-tron becomes the Q4 45 E-tron for 2025 and gets a whopping 81-extra-horsepower boost to bring it to a total of 282 hp. That's certainly sufficient for most people. Its updated battery pack also added 23 miles of range for a new grand total of 288 miles. We'd prefer to get more than 300 miles from a single-motor luxury EV, but it's unquestionably a more useful amount. All versions of the Q4 E-tron, including the Sportback body style we review separately, also now come standard with more technology features.

Competitors to consider

Check out the Genesis GV60. It has more interior space than the Audi, slightly better maximum range, and an interior that is just as luxurious, if not more. The Volvo EX40 (previously known as the XC40 Recharge) aligns closely to the Q4 E-tron in price, size and range. We also recommend the Cadillac Lyriq. It's bigger, more luxurious and can go farther on a charge, though it's more expensive. Alternatively, you can also save some cash by picking a loaded-up version of a non-luxury EV such as the Hyundai Ioniq 5 or Kia EV6.

Edmunds Expert Rating

edmunds TESTED

Driven, tested, rated by automotive expert Steven Ewing

Good

6.6

out of 10

We drove the 2025 Audi Q4 e-tron on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.

Driving experience

6.2/10

How does the Audi Q4 e-tron drive? We tested the dual-motor version, which Audi calls the Q4 55 E-tron. At the Edmunds test track, it accelerated from 0 to 60 mph in 5 seconds flat. This is similar to what other rival dual-motor electric SUVs are capable of. In the real world, the Q4 E-tron provides quick power for effortless and confident freeway passing.

The Q4 E-tron's brakes are a bit underwhelming; at our test track, our measured panic stops from 60 mph were a bit longer than those of the Audi's competitors. But the brakes do work well for smooth stops in routine driving. The Q4 E-tron also has predictable and enjoyable handling. It's not a thrilling EV to drive, but it's got noticeable pep in its step and good overall balance.

Two characteristics mar the ride quality. First is that it's not the best at smoothing out rough surfaces. Second, undulating roads can rock the Q4 E-tron into an oscillating state. It's not particularly comfortable.

The Premium Plus trim level and up include a comprehensive collection of driver aids, which worked well in our testing. The only thing it's missing is a surround-view camera system, which most competitors offer.

Comfort

7/10

How comfortable is the Audi Q4 e-tron? Although small, the Q4 E-tron is easy to get into thanks to the big door openings. The front seat adjustments include four-way lumbar adjustment and an extendable thigh support, making it easy to find your sweet spot. The seats are good for long hauls, but in cornering, they lack side support to keep you in place. They also don't offer ventilation, odd for a luxury brand.

The flat floor in the back gives the outboard rear passengers a bit more room to spread out. Like any compact SUV, there's not much room for a third in the middle. There's plenty of room for child seats in back, 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.

Once underway, we were impressed by the Q4 E-tron's quiet cabin. Credit goes to the dual-pane windows, which help block exterior noise, and the nearly silent electric motors.

The climate control is easy to set and does a good job of maintaining your target temperature. The air vents are simple and manually adjustable, though the driver's side vents point directly at the driver's hands when they're on the wheel, which some people might not like.

In-cabin tech

9.1/10

How’s the tech? Our Prestige trim test vehicle benefited from the upgraded digital instrument panel display, which can display handy navigation maps right in your field of view. Our test vehicle also had the augmented reality head-up display, which projects your turn-by-turn directions on the windshield. It's pretty neat.

As for device integration, the Q4 E-tron hits all the high points. There's a deeply integrated app that lets you use your smartphone as a key, handy for get-in-and-go. The Q4 E-tron also has plenty of USB ports on board, and there's wireless connectivity and charging for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Build & Price

Buying Tips for the 2025 Audi Q4 e-tron for March

Here are some tips to help you negotiate the best deal on a 2025 Audi Q4 e-tron:

Buyers are paying about 7% less than the sticker price for the Audi Q4 e-tron. This means you could save around $3,870 on average when negotiating the purchase.
Take advantage of the $6,000 generally available customer cash rebate. This offer can reduce the overall price for both buying and leasing options, making your purchase more affordable.
There are currently limited inventory levels with only 8 new vehicles and 14 used vehicles available nationwide. Most trims are sitting on dealer lots for much longer than the average new car, giving you more negotiating power.
If you’re considering leasing, the typical monthly payment sits around $902 with about $5,903 due at signing. Ensure these rates align with your budget and compare local dealer offers for the best deal.

Storage & cargo

6.1/10

How’s storage and cargo? The Q4 E-tron offers a decent amount of space for cargo; 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 Cadillac Lyriq and Tesla Model Y. Storage for small items in the cabin is also decent but not amazing. There's a 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.

When properly equipped, the Q4 E-tron can tow up to 2,600 pounds, a good amount for the class. This trails competitors like the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Tesla Model Y that can tow up to 3,500 pounds.

Value

6.3/10

Is the Audi 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 the Audi is fully optioned up, the 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 car's look and feel. The interior feels thoroughly modern, but there are parts, like the plastic on the center console and wood trim pieces, that look a bit low-budget. Ultimately, we think the Q4 E-tron offers relatively average value for the money. The warranty and roadside assistance coverage are solidly average as well.

Range/Efficiency/Charging

5.6/10

How are the range and efficiency? The Q4 55 E-tron we tested can go an EPA-estimated 258 miles on a full charge. We exceeded that slightly in our independent Edmunds EV Range Test, getting 261 miles. This EV range should be enough for most drivers, and the 150-kW charging capability is decent, but the Tesla Model Y is still the benchmark here. Energy consumption is typical for a luxury electric SUV. We recorded 32.3 kWh of electricity used for every 100 miles of driving.

X factor

5/10

We think most people will find the Q4 E-tron mildly fun to drive. "Mild" also applies to the Q4 E-tron's exterior design. It's not pushing any boundaries or starting any trends, but it's also not offensive. It's pleasant enough to look at, but few people are going to give it a second glance.

2025 Audi Q4 e-tron trim level differences

The 2025 Audi Q4 E-tron electric SUV comes in two versions that correspond to motor layout: the single-motor rear-wheel-drive 45 E-tron and dual-motor all-wheel-drive 55 E-tron. Each is then available in Premium and Premium Plus trim levels. There is also a range-topping Prestige trim for the 55 E-tron only. Compare the 2025 Audi Q4 e-tron trim levels in-depth.

Which Q4 e-tron trim does Edmunds recommend?

With its quick-enough performance and 288 miles of range, the new 45 E-tron is the way to go unless your winter climate makes stepping up to the all-wheel-drive 55 E-tron a necessity. Either way, we would recommend the Premium Plus trim level that adds a wealth of equipment you'll probably want.

Great Audi Design, Quality & Poor Software Support

pharding, 07/05/2023

2023 Audi Q4 e-tron Premium Plus 4dr SUV AWD w/50 (electric DD)

I am very pleased with it. Excellent Audi Quality and 270 mile real world range in economy drive mode and prudent driving. Exterior design is quite beautiful with elegant proportions. Interior is well done with slightly frugal finishes. Interior cabin is spacious. Audi MMI infotainment system is excellent. Not cutting edge but is excellent none the less. Works well with Apple CarPlay. … Black Optic package is quite beautiful. Overall I am extremely happy with it. Update after 20 months of ownership. 7.12.24. I had serious issues in one instance of extreme cold. Audi claims to have fixed it with a software update in a recall but we have not extreme cold in Chicago since then. The MMI worked well until I decided not to pay Audi $500 a year for the software subscription with internet access. At that point I went with Apple CarPlay. Apple CarPlay which does not load quickly. It loads slowly and wastes my time. Audi’s software expertise and software support, like that of VWAG, is poor. Problems take forever to get solved because of poor software expertise and Audi, like VWAG, grossly underfunds software maintenance, upgrades to fix bugs, and national software support. When you call in for national customer service, the Audi knowledge base is poor and hit or miss. In theory the Q4 has the capability for over the air software upgrades, but that is not workable. The only way to get software fixes is to take the car to the dealership and let them to do it there which takes a day or two. From a design perspective and mechanically I like the Q4 a lot. However Audi is bumbling with software and doesn’t understand the importance of software support after you buy the car. Update on 7.15.25. Audi finally got the problems resolved with Apple CarPlay sometime in May 2025. I called in approximately 20 times working with Audi USA Tech Support. I am technically savy. By and large 80 percent of Audi USA technical support staff were nice but inept. Audi provided poor support and guidance to them to establish a checklist of how to deal with this common resting technical problem. I thought the issue was fixed, then Microsoft to an upgrade to the iPhone operating system. It took Audi 3 months for inept VW German software engineers to very slowly develop a software fix. There was a recall because the software did not consistently indicate that the car was in reverse gear. My wife went to pull forward in the Q4 and the car went backwards into a post doing about $2,000 damage to the rear bumper. We are attempting to get Audi to fix it because it is known software issue that caused the problem. Audi is giving pushback and so far won’t fix the bumper. I remain pleased with the car design, operation, range, and EV cars. Audi is grossly indifferent to people that spent 70k and trusted them. Their software expertise is terrible. Their desire to fix software issues is terrible. Audi does not survey their customers to measure client satisfaction and client input with their expensive cars. I received 1 survey in 2 1/2 years of ownership. BMW does approximately 8 on past BMW cars that we bought. Audi’s customer service and understanding of its customers is appalling compared to BMW. We just replaced my wife’s 12 year old BMW X3. We did not consider Audi because Audi as a company has terrible customer service and just doesn’t care about its customers and is lethargic about solving issues and their software engineers are incredibly inept and unprofessional. So we bought a 2025 BMW X3 because BMW is much better, more reliable car company that solves problems, including software problems quickly. My 2023 Audi Q4 eTron is fine, except for software issues and Audi itself. I like the car a lot. However I have contempt for Audi as a car company because they are unbelievably cheap and inept in solving problems.

We have a limited number of reviews for the 2025 Audi Q4 e-tron, so we've included review for other years of the Q4 e-tron since its last redesign.
