Pros Spacious cabin, forgiving ride, generous list of standard and optional tech features.
Cons Four-cylinder could use a bit more power, boring driving dynamics, exterior styling isn't for everyone.
Pros Stylish, quiet and high-tech interior Roomy seating and a huge cargo area Added off-road capability with X-Pro trim
Cons Standard engine supplies leisurely acceleration Subpar fuel economy from this engine too
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.
