Overview

The 2025 Audi Q4 E-tron is Audi's small electric SUV. It could appeal to you if you're looking for a more premium experience than what the Kia EV6s and Tesla Model Ys of the world can provide. Mostly, you're getting elevated cabin quality and classier overall refinement by picking a Q4 E-tron. Performance and range improvements the last two years have also made the Q4 E-tron far more compelling than when it debuted for the 2022 model year.

Am I Ready for an EV?

EV ownership works best if you can charge (240V) at home or at work ^{This typically means a 240V home installation, but you could also have a similar setup at your office or other places your car is already parked for several hours each day. Don't expect a regular household outlet (120V) to suffice unless you've got a plug-in hybrid, in which case overnight charging at home is feasible.}
If you can’t charge at home, charging at a charging station could take at least 10x longer than at a gas station ^{With public charging infrastructure still in its infancy, the user experience can be maddeningly inconsistent. Tesla owners tend to rave about the reliability and speed of the company's proprietary Supercharger stations, but rival DC fast options have thus far been plagued by technical issues and overcrowding. It's an evolving landscape and our best advice is to do your research on the available options for the EV you want to buy.}
Adding a 240V home charging system could cost up to $1,600 or more ^{If your existing electrical service can handle the additional demands of EV charging, you may be able to add Level 2 charging at home for less than a grand, including installation. But your costs will multiply if you need to upgrade your electrical panel or add a dedicated circuit.}

Edmunds spotlight: More power, more range

Audi substantially improved the Q4 E-tron halfway through the last model year. The dual-motor version received more power, better range and quicker fast-charging capability. Audi also changed the steering and suspension to make the Q4 E-tron a little sportier to drive. For 2025, the rear-motor-only base version gets some updates. Last year's Q4 40 E-tron becomes the Q4 45 E-tron for 2025 and gets a whopping 81-extra-horsepower boost to bring it to a total of 282 hp. That's certainly sufficient for most people. Its updated battery pack also added 23 miles of range for a new grand total of 288 miles. We'd prefer to get more than 300 miles from a single-motor luxury EV, but it's unquestionably a more useful amount. All versions of the Q4 E-tron, including the Sportback body style we review separately, also now come standard with more technology features.

Competitors to consider

Check out the Genesis GV60. It has more interior space than the Audi, slightly better maximum range, and an interior that is just as luxurious, if not more. The Volvo EX40 (previously known as the XC40 Recharge) aligns closely to the Q4 E-tron in price, size and range. We also recommend the Cadillac Lyriq. It's bigger, more luxurious and can go farther on a charge, though it's more expensive. Alternatively, you can also save some cash by picking a loaded-up version of a non-luxury EV such as the Hyundai Ioniq 5 or Kia EV6.

edmunds TESTED

Rated for you by America's best test team.

Performance

8/10

How does the Q4 e-tron drive? We tested the dual-motor version, which Audi calls the 55 E-tron. At the Edmunds test track, it accelerated from 0 to 60 mph in 5 seconds flat. This is similar to what other rival dual-motor electric SUVs are capable of. In the real world, the Q4 E-tron provides quick power for effortless and confident freeway passing.

The Q4 E-tron's brakes are a bit underwhelming; at our test track, our measured panic stops from 60 mph were a bit longer than those of the Audi's competitors. But the brakes do work well for smooth stops in routine driving. The Q4 E-tron also has predictable and enjoyable handling. It's not a thrilling EV to drive, but it's got noticeable pep in its step and good overall balance too.

Comfort

7.5/10

How comfortable is the Q4 e-tron? The Q4 E-tron is comfortable but won't likely wow you in any particular way. Its greatest quality is a quiet cabin. But the ride could be better. On some bumpier sections of highway, our test vehicle had a choppy and overly firm ride. Our drivers also noticed that the front seats lack lateral support to help hold you in place when cornering and do not offer a ventilation function for cooling.

The climate control is easy to set and does a good job of maintaining your target temperature. The air vents are simple and manually adjustable, though the position of the driver's side vents point directly at the driver's hands when they're on the wheel, which some people might not like.

Interior

8/10

How’s the interior? The interior of the Q4 E-tron is a definite highlight. The cabin is easy to slip into and offers generous space and great outward visibility. Headroom is plentiful, and even people well over 6 feet will fit in the rear.

The Q4 E-tron 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 it's 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 easy to use and we fumbled inputs a few times.

Build & Price

Technology

8.5/10

How’s the tech? Our Prestige trim test vehicle benefited from the upgraded digital instrument panel display, which can display handy navigation maps right in your field of view. Our test vehicle also had the augmented reality head-up display, which projects your turn-by-turn directions on the windshield. It's pretty neat.

There are plenty of USB ports on board, plus wireless connectivity for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. A comprehensive collection of driver aids is included in the Premium Plus trim level and up. They worked well in our testing. 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 E-tron offers a decent amount of space for cargo; 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 Cadillac Lyriq and Tesla Model Y. 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. 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.

Continue reading Edmunds Expert Rating below

Range and Efficiency

7/10

How are the range and efficiency? The Q4 55 E-tron we tested can go an EPA-estimated 258 miles on a full charge. We exceeded that slightly in our independent Edmunds EV Range Test, getting 261 miles. This EV range should be enough for most drivers, and the 150-kW charging speed is decent, but the Tesla Model Y is still the benchmark here. Energy consumption is typical for a luxury electric SUV. We recorded 32.3 kWh of electricity used for every 100 miles of driving.

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 the Audi is fully optioned up, the 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 car's look and feel. The 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 E-tron offers relatively average value for the money. The 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 E-tron'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?

With its quick-enough performance and 288 miles of range, the new 45 E-tron is the way to go unless your winter climate makes stepping up to the all-wheel-drive 55 E-tron a necessity. Either way, we would recommend the Premium Plus trim level that adds a wealth of equipment you'll probably want.

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?

Missing features but overall happy.

In less than 28 hours of ownership I got the "Electrical System: malfunction! Safely stop the vehicle" message. Brand new vehicle with 180 miles on the odometer. After some debate dealer gave me a refund and the lease agreement was canceled. There is a class action lawsuit for electric system defects and for vehicles Audi produced from 2018-2023 and 2024 Q4 55 etron.
