Once the honeymoon is over on the early 2024 “50” model, you’ll regret your decision. The car is stunning to look at and fun to drive, however, for the price point it simply does not deliver. If I would have known I was getting VW quality with an Audi price tag, I would have simply bought an ID4 for thousands of dollars less. To start, the range does not come anywhere close to what is advertised. This is driving in Efficiency mode, “B” mode, with Eco set on the AC. It’s fine when I’m able to charge at home, but a nightmare having to stop every hour and a half on road trips to charge for 45 minutes. Yes, 45 minutes to get to 90%. The brakes started squealing after 2k miles. The dealer claims this is “normal” due to the regenerative brake system and affects all Q4 models. When I asked if I was simply supposed to “deal with it” on a $65k+ car, their answer was basically yes and there is no plan to provide any kind of recall or repair for this known issue. The Audi MMI interface is glitchy to say the least… routinely resets wallpaper images with no explanation, the system freezes, and the e-tron route planner is practically useless. Several times it has re-routed me due to imaginary road closures and does not ever seem to suggest the best charging stops. Apple CarPlay randomly resets in the middle of navigation and phone calls. Parking assist works intermittently and does not always beep, I’ve nearly hit something several times when mistakenly thinking I could rely on the park assist. Unfortunately, all of these technological and electrical gremlins don’t ever seem to duplicate themselves when I attempt to have the dealer investigate, so not much they can or will do. Fit and finish is poor. Condensation entered the real taillights after a car wash, and the panel gaps are significant enough that when you wash it every if you dry it very thoroughly you’ll have water spots every where after a short drive. The weatherstripping on one of the rear door seals is coming off due to some very weak double sided tape that was used to secure it to the body of the car. Wind noise is prevalent despite the acoustic front glass and windshield. I have owned this car for 3 whole months and driven about 4k miles. It’s still brand new. Thank goodness it’s a lease! Save yourself the disappointment and frustration in the Q4. There are much better options out there which come in well below the Audi price tag.

This is my second experience with the Audi Q4 e-tron, having previously leased the 2022 50 Premium Plus model, which proved to be an impressive electric vehicle. I appreciated its understated design. Currently, I am leasing the 2024 55 Prestige Sportback and am thoroughly enjoying the technological enhancements. The improvements in range and charging speed, as well as the increased horsepower, are distinctly advantageous. However, I am disappointed by the absence of a 360-degree camera and ventilated seats still, especially given the vehicle's high price point. Furthermore, it is frustrating that Alexa integration is heavily advertised, yet the vehicle does not, in fact, support this feature. I am committed to a two-year lease, so I will evaluate how this experience unfolds over the next 20 to 24 months.
