2024 Audi Q4 Sportback e-tron Review
byJosh Jacquot
Correspondent
Josh Jacquot is an automotive journalist at Edmunds.Pros
- Good-looking inside and out
- Approachable technology
- Competitive passenger and cargo space
Cons
- Unimpressive maximum driving range
- Not as quick as rivals
- Relatively high price
- Ineligible for federal EV tax credit
What's new
- Adaptive cruise is now standard
- New steering wheel paddles control regenerative braking
- Part of the first Q4 Sportback e-tron generation introduced for 2022
Overview
The Q4 Sportback e-tron is a fastback-style five-passenger electric SUV that shares its underpinnings with Q4 e-tron 50. It's offered only in the "50" version, which means it has dual motors and all-wheel drive. Though the Q4 Sportback e-tron lacks the ridiculous acceleration and power of some all-electric SUVs, it's a relatively practical choice when it comes to driving. It's quick enough to get the job done but lacks the party-trick acceleration so many EVs use to sell themselves.

EV batteries lose 1-2% of range per year. Est. range for this car is 219 miles after 8 years.Electric cars typically experience 1-2% of range loss per year with slightly faster degradation over the first 50,000 miles as the car settles into its long term state, according to Recurrent's study of 15,000 EVs.
Estimated range mapThis map is a visual representation of the possible one-way and round-trips by this vehicle (on a full charge) from the geometric center of Columbus, Ohio. The depicted ranges are based on the estimated new vehicle range value provided by the EPA, rounded down to miles for one-way and miles for round-trip.

When can I use NACS/Tesla charging stations?EV Battery Warranty
8 yrs or 100,000 milesThe federal government requires that EV batteries be warrantied for a minimum of eight years or 100,000 miles. The EV battery warranty includes replacement if your battery capacity drops below a certain percentage of the original capacity.
According to GeoTab’s data, if the observed degradation rates are maintained, the vast majority of batteries will outlast the usable life of the vehicle.

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: Shorter roofline, few compromises
The Sportback's abridged roofline gives it 1.3 inches less rear headroom than its conventionally shaped stablemate, but that doesn't make for a huge compromise since 6-footers can easily sit in the rear of the standard Q4 e-tron. And there's some irony in the fact that the shorter Sportback offers more cargo volume than the standard Q4 e-tron. That's a win for a shortened-roofline SUV like this since most are far less practical than the counterparts they share a platform and drivetrain with. And it means the only real downside to owning the Sportback is the higher cost of entry.
Competitors to consider
Certainly the Q4 Sportback e-tron's most direct competitor is the standard Q4 Sportback. Assuming you want to move outside the Audi universe, there's the quicker and longer-range Tesla Model Y. We also like the Mercedes-Benz EQB. And don't ignore the Genesis GV70, which offers similar range and quicker charging for a little more money.
Which Q4 Sportback e-tron does Edmunds recommend?
We like the base Premium trim with the new-for-2024 additions of adaptive cruise control and steering-wheel-mounted paddles to adjust the e-tron's regenerative braking response. The Premium also comes with three-zone climate control and leather seats that are heated up front.
Audi Q4 Sportback e-tron models
The 2024 Audi Q4 Sportback e-tron comes in Premium, Premium Plus and Prestige trim levels. A dual-motor all-wheel-drive electric propulsion system is standard and provides a total output of 295 horsepower.
