Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

Pros
Tremendously powerful six-cylinder engine
Grip and handling are excellent
Sleeker styling than the related X3 M

Cons
Excessively stiff ride
Rear headroom is a bit tight
Sloping roofline compromises cargo space and visibility

Like the regular X4, the high-performance X4 M receives some subtle styling upgrades for 2022. Larger grille openings, narrower headlamps, and reworked front and rear bumpers distinguish the refreshed X4 M from last year's model. The infotainment display has grown from 10.3 to 12.3 inches. More meaningful to us driving enthusiasts is a rework of the SUV's engine to produce more torque; horsepower remains the same across both X4 M models.

Pros
Rip-snorting engine,
bonkers acceleration,
handling agile enough to trick you into thinking it's a sports car.

Cons
Hard-edged ride,
lacks the practicality of the mechanically-similar X3 M,
coupe-like styling may not be for everyone.

Three electric motors, more power, and electric torque vectoring improve the e-tron S Sportback's handling and agility.

PROS
More power,
responsive torque vectoring,
it'll drift like a sports car.

CONS
The regular e-tron weighs nearly 6000 pounds,
this may be heavier; plans for the States are still to be determined.

Audi has unveiled the next evolution in its coming electric vehicle offensive, in the form of the 2021 Audi e-tron S. Building on its standard 95kWh e-tron, the S will receive a third electric motor and subsequent performance boost.
With that enhancement, the e-tron S offers 320kW and 808Nm in normal driving mode and 370kW and 973Nm when in ‘Boost Mode’. By comparison, the current model e-tron produces 300kW and 664Nm.
