While the 2023 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.

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.

7.7
out of 10
We drove the 2023 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.
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.

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
8/10
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.

The integrated bottle holders in the doors are clean, simple and functional.
Range and Efficiency
7/10
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.
2023 Audi Q4 e-tron trim level differences

Great Audi Design, Quality & Poor Software Support
5 out of 5 starspharding, 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.
Missing features but overall happy.

2023 Audi Q4 e-tron Premium Plus 4dr SUV AWD w/50 (electric DD)
I’ll preface my review comparing to my 2021 Audi Q5 Premium plus to the Q4 Premium Plus. For the price of the Q4, pretty disappointed in the missing features.
Cons: 1) missing 360 cameras - I used this feature daily as I my garage is tight. Dealer told me this was due to the chip shortage. 2) missing retractable trunk cover. This is not standard and must be purchased extra through the … parts dept. This is a dealer port added feature and my dealer no longer includes. 3) missing trunk mesh liner. Would be nice to at least include this was included if they are going to skimp on adding the retractable cover. 4) trunk cargo floor has large gaps on each side. Don’t understand why it doesn’t properly cover the entire space. Items can easily fall into these gaps. 4) battery only charged to 74% at most recent charge at an ultra fast EA station. Battery is supposed to charge to 80%. Concerning and will have to monitor. 6) park assist not working. Need to return to dealer
Pros: smooth ride, great pick up/ torque, stylish, amazing sound system
At least the motors work

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?
Absolutely In Love!

2022 Audi Q4 e-tron Premium Plus 4dr SUV AWD w/50 (electric DD)
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.
