Audi Q4 e-tron Prestige 4dr SUV Exterior Shown

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.

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.

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 …

At least the motors work

Former A5 owner, 01/20/2024

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 …
