Pros Drives well, comfortable, high-quality. Not as compromised as you might think
Cons Still a bit compromised. Plus it's pricier. More testing required to measure efficiency
The Q4 e-tron and Q4 e-tron Sportback are all-new models for 2022. They join the larger e-tron SUVs and the racy e-tron GT sedan in Audi's fast-growing electric-vehicle lineup. With a base price of $44,995, the Q4 e-tron is actually cheaper to start than the gasoline-powered Q5 SUV. We recommend the more powerful 295-hp 50 model, but those who prefer a coupe-like look to their SUV can opt for the swoopier Sportback model, which is offered with the same dual-motor all-wheel-drive powertrain setup.
As a company car proposition, the Suzuki Across stacks up well; its low emissions bring low tax bills, and its very good all-electric range and punchy performance sweeten the deal. But an extremely high list price narrows its appeal among private buyers; cheaper alternatives are better to drive, more comfortable, and nicer inside.
PROS Low official CO2 emissions Punchy performance Long electric-only range
CONS Very expensive Poor infotainment system Rivals are better to drive
PROS Smooth and powerful drive Great electric range and CO2 Practical and high-quality interior
CONS Very expensive Ride is a touch firm Shorter warranty than Toyota
