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.

Monthly estimates based on costs in Virginia
The most significant is the new Q4 40 e-tron version. It has a single electric motor that powers the EV's rear wheels. While it isn't as powerful or as quick to accelerate as the dual-motor all-wheel-drive Q4 50 e-tron, the more affordable Q4 40 e-tron offers 29 more miles of driving range, with a maximum EPA estimate of 265 miles on a full charge. According to Audi, the Q4 e-tron can recharge from 5% to 80% capacity in 36 minutes at a 150-kW DC fast-charging station.
Sizewise, the Q4 e-tron is smaller inside and out than Audi's popular Q5 model. But because it is electric, the Q4 e-tron costs more, which is typical of an EV. Primary rivals include the Lexus RZ, Mercedes-Benz EQB and Tesla Model Y. At its new, lower base price, some people may also consider it an alternative to the Ford Mustang Mach-E, Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6 and Volkswagen ID.4, the latter of which it shares much of its EV hardware with. Check out our test team's Expert Rating below to learn more about how the 2023 Q4 e-tron stacks up.

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.

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.

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 2023 models have 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 in Edmunds' real-world testing, 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?
Whether you choose the Q4 40 e-tron or the Q4 50 e-tron, we recommend getting this EV in Premium Plus trim. It provides the luxury and high-tech features you expect when you buy an Audi, such as fully featured versions of the digital instrumentation and infotainment systems, coupled with additional driving aids.

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. It's a joy to ride back and … forth to work.

This vehicle does not connect to an apple iPhone. I have had the vehicle in for this problem twice. The official response- it is apples fault related to IOS 16, there is nothing Audi can do to fix it sand it’s not covered by warranty. Interestingly, I just rented an Audi Q5 (coincidentally), and this SAME iPhone connects seamlessly. But, Audi still says it’s a problem with my phone. Not … what I expect from a $65,000 vehicle
5/5 stars, Love it!

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!

Audi Q4 e-tron vs. Kia EV6
By dropping the former base trim from the EV6's lineup, Kia has moved its stylish electric SUV upmarket for 2023. The EV6 offers slightly less cargo space than the Q4 e-tron, but it has a lower price, more power and greater maximum driving range. Plus, it can potentially recharge quicker at DC fast-charging stations. Though it doesn't come with a luxury badge, the Kia is lacking for nothing else in comparison to the Audi.
Audi Q4 e-tron vs. Mercedes-Benz EQB
At the same time Kia is moving up in price, Mercedes-Benz is lowering the entry-level cost of its EQB model with a new-for-2023 EQB 250+ variant. It has two-wheel drive and, according to Mercedes, more driving range. The EQB is a boxy-looking electric SUV that offers greater maximum passenger room and cargo space than the Q4 e-tron. You can even get a third-row seat for the Mercedes, though it's best used only for children. But the Audi has a better sense of style.
Audi Q4 e-tron vs. Tesla Model Y
Prices for the popular Tesla Model Y can be volatile, but early in the 2023 model year, the larger and more powerful Tesla is a direct rival to the Q4 e-tron. It's available with a third-row seat and can carry up to seven people. It's also fully compatible with Tesla's nationwide network of Supercharger fast-charging stations. Be sure to read our extended long-term road test of the Tesla Model Y.
