Pros
Distinctive looks
100kW charging is standard
Same space inside as regular C4

Cons
Modest real-world range
Not that affordable
Lots of body roll in the bends

By: 
carwow.co.uk

A very competitive posh crossover, but it fumbles some of Audi's traditional strengths.

Pros
Lots of equipment and tech,
practical,
striking to look at

Cons
The powertrains,
HMI and materials aren't as polished as Audi's norm
