Audi Q4 Sportback e-tron 125kW 35 55kWh Sport 5dr Auto [Leather/Tech Pro] Review
Category: Electric car
Section: Version review
There’s an awful lot to like about the Audi Q4 Sportback e-tron. It’s a comfortable, classy choice with a good range if you opt for a 40 model. However, the regular Q4 is available with a big battery for far less and has a bit more rear head room to boot. If you’re not so worried about the emblem on the nose of your car, we’d urge you to look at the Skoda Enyaq as well, because it’s similar in a lot of respects.
The trim
See full equipmentEven this entry-level trim is decently equipped, getting 19in alloy wheels, powerful LED headlights, three-zone climate control, a Type 2 charging cable and a 10.1in touchscreen infotainment system incorporating a DAB radio, built-in navigation and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone mirroring. Meanwhile, standard safety kit includes automatic emergency braking and lane-keeping assistance.
The engine
See full engine specsThe entry-level 35 has a single motor producing 168bhp and is rear-wheel drive, taking a yawning 9.0sec to get from 0-62mph. Its small battery means an official range of 211 miles, which isn’t particularly great either.
