I was in Kristiansand a few days ago but got stuck in traffic both ways near Porsgrunn for 25 min both direction due to holiday traffic. MEB platform and the VAG conglomerate is the safest bet for those who are in market for an EV in that price range.

Kris, Thank you testing this car, Your videos have helped remove the anxieties of owning an BEV. I've now made the jump from ICE to BEV and ordered a Q4 40 Sportback
@pedroalmeida46523 жыл бұрын
Very good result Kris. Given these figures, I would bet that the Q4 Sportback, with a 0.26 drag coefficient instead of 0.28 in the one you tested, would beat the Mach-E should all other factors be identical. Go get one once it shall become available! And, of course, you should also compare the 50 Quattro versions (normal and Sportback) with the likes of the ID4 GTX and Mach-E LR AWD. Lots of work ahead :)

Thanks for this great test. Did this car have the optional heat pump? And when you do these tests, do you turn off things like AC to optimise the range? Finally, do you think Audi's drive select (where you can select eco and range modes) are worth it?

@kutrix20102 жыл бұрын
You'd likely get noticeably better results if driving in D mode on motorways. B mode disables coasting which is far more efficient than recoup. You get back only about 50% of energy when recuperating. It's good for the city drive but not that efficient for long trips.

I still think I like the Polestar 2 more in terms of its design and performance, but this Q4 e-tron is such a great overall package. I wonder how well the 50 e-tron quattro version will stack up.

Hi Kris, great information thank you. On the verge of buying a id4 GTX but so nervous about lack of charging facilities in south Germany (Lake Konstanz). You seem much more facilities where you are. I don’t want to make the right decision for the environment and then be stuck with a bad decision. Any suggestions?

Good result for an all wheel drive machine. Up there with the RWDs and more practicality than the mach-e. If I was in the market right now it'd be tough but the Q4 would edge it over the ID4 GTX. Im stuck with my fat etron for now which also yells at me for not being in the middle of the lane!

Just want to ask you a thing about Wind an Fossilcars i wonder if youi know ho much it will Effect consuption on a ICE. Nevere heard of anyone using wind as an issue for Fossils but for sure consumption will be afected by wind to.
@e-redj3 жыл бұрын
The “problem” with EVs is that they are so efficient. If you use about 90% of the energy 1-2 kW due to AC or wind or rain or rough tarmac are more noticeable than if you throw away +50% of the energy you use. But fossil cars are affected by the same laws of physics, and if you drive at 120kph and you have a front wind of 30kph, the drag of the car will be equivalent of the car driving at 150kph with no wind, no mater what kind of drive unit it uses.
