Moving from a 2019 Hyundai Kona electric to a Q4 etron took a little getting used to, was looking for more regeneration and dealer neglected to mention the B driving mode which is exactly what I wanted. Interior storage is a bit strange, wish armrest console was larger. Range is pretty good overall. Size is great.

Started to having A/C problems (not blowing cold air) on second day after purchase. Service dealership found leak in A/c part that must be replaced. Part must be delivered from Germany. Ended up with dealer's loaner for minimum 2-3 weeks. Still going.....

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

I sold my Atlas full package and got myself a E-tron Q4. Well. Bad choice! The steering wheel doesn't warm up. The LOCKS do NOT open when you approach the car, this should be basic on a "luxury" car. It does not beep, so it is difficult to find. The smart drive and line assistant is not fully functional either. Bad bad choice! Ohhh. And the battery goes from 283 mines to 190 if you drive 50 miles in dynimic on a high Way.

A Little Annoying, but Great EV Overall!

This is the 3rd EV my family has had, the others being a BMW i4 and a Tesla Model Y Long Range, and while I still prefer the i4 over this, a growing family meant I had to replace my beloved i4 with this Audi, and I'm only mildly disappointed. The Q4 is similar in size to Model Y LR, but unlike the Tesla, this actually feels like a real car and not a refrigerator. Drives much better than the Tesla, feels equally as planted, has tech you actually need and not gimmicks. Besides that, it is quieter than the Tesla Model Y LR, and it just feels like a car made by a company who has a lot of experience making cars. It's nice not having to deal with random things going wrong like broken window switches and a misaligned trunk, like with what I had to deal with on a Tesla... In general, EVs from established German automakers just feel a lot more like a quality product, and this is no exception. It's excellent in snow, refined, has a tilt and sliding sunroof (when did automakers decide that people didn't want sunroofs anymore?), it's got a great stereo, and it feels upscale in an old school luxury sort of way. The climate control is also way better than a Tesla. With the Tesla I never really felt super cool on hot days, but the Q4's air conditioning gets ice cold even on the hottest days, and the heater almost radiates heat. Besides that, I love how compact it is, and it is actually pretty fun to drive. Not as much fun as the i4, but way more fun than a Tesla, which I wouldn't say is fun to drive at all. The Q4 is still pretty heavy like most EVs, and you feel that, but it's a lot lighter than other SUVs like the iX. The two drive modes are also pretty fun. With the car in 'D' mode, you can adjust levels of regen with the car, and it sort of feels like driving an old school manual with its levels of regenerative braking. The range in very similar to the Tesla Model Y LR in my experience, which highlights another difference I noticed between Tesla and German automakers. German range figures are very true to real world where I feel as though Tesla's figures are overstated. On the highway with both the Q4 and Model Y LR, I get about 180 miles or so going from 80 to 10% on the battery while averaging around 75-80 mph. The most annoying downside of the Q4 for me really had to do with the initial setup of it. It uses driver profiles, so settings can be different depending on whether or not you are using the main or guest profile. It's confusing and annoying, but once you get over that initial hurdle it's almost smooth sailing from there. I find the infotainment system system annoying and a little incomplete, but I do love using old school switches for the climate control, and you get used to the weird touch switches for other things like volume and sunroof controls. I'm just thankful there are switches for these things and you don't have to go searching around in menus. One of the most noticeable things about driving the Q4 is that you don't get that face ripping warp tunnel sort of acceleration performance. It's definitely quick enough and has great passing power when you need it, even at high speeds, but you don't get that novel sort of face ripping acceleration like with other EVs. To me that sort of thing got old pretty quick, but I guess some people still like having that sort of thing... I miss a few Tesla things that you don't get with the Q4. It's annoying, but you still have to carry a key around with the Audi (in the US at least), and I loved not having to carry around keys with a Tesla. The Tesla network is also far superior to the CCS network, and to me THE biggest advantage to having a Tesla, but since I don't plan on road tripping too much with the Q4, it's a non-issue for me. I also think that Tesla's autopilot is better in some ways than the "autopilot" that the Q4 uses. I think Tesla's lane centering is better. It feels as though you are in the middle of the lane more often. The Q4 by comparison feels like you are ping ponging between the edges of the lane a lot more, and that is a little unnerving. However, I prefer the distance control on the Q4 in that it counts the amount of seconds you are behind the car ahead of you, and not the car lengths. With the Tesla you would leave huge gaps when traffic slows down. The Q4's distance control feels a lot more intuitive in the way it slows down. It feels a lot more gradual and less urgent. I also have never experienced that phantom braking thing in the Q4, where I have experienced that in the Tesla a handful of times, and that could be a potentially dangerous situation. Overall I trust the Q4 more when it comes to distance control and the Tesla more when it comes to lane centering. I also prefer the Q4's touch steering wheel as opposed to having to apply steering force when it comes to driver monitoring. In summary, I will never buy a Tesla again mostly because it feels like an appliance, and I think that Tesla drivers have no imaginations, and I would buy a Q4 E-Tron again. It's a nice car despite it's somewhat incomplete Infotainment experience. If I didn't have kids however, I would go i4 any day of the week. That to me is a perfect car!
