Audi Q4 e-tron 45 Quattro 1000 km challenge

[@agemmm]

Video on the new Taycan? Absolutely insane charging curve. Above 300kW until 65% and 200kW till 75%.

[@dpie4859]

Yes, I saw this and got very annoyed. I have a Tesla and it’s twice as slow…..

[@marcohoekstra]

@@danielstefanovic2604about 60 times per year 😊

[@Elektroauto1984]

@@dpie4859still only has the range of a model 3 long range 😅 costs 3 to 6 times more ;-) clear it is a porsche but the rest sucks. It charges so fast because the battery is bigger… i love porsche but the first taycan isnt great, happy i sold mine 4 month later because no a days it is 60% less worth

[@stal5861]

Probably high degradation with 2C charging at 75%. But it's good that the owner is given the option of fast or economical (Porsche, Mercedes etc. can limit the charge power. In the case of Mercedes down to 100kW)

[@yesyesyesman757]

@@Elektroauto1984charging speed > range, imo it doesnt suck since trip time nowadays mostly depends on charging speed

[@rainermenes5921]

Can you please test the ID7? Would be interesting to see what the better cW can do.

[@bjornnyland]

Yes

[@binflydushy]

Björn pls test the new Taycan

[@PJWey]

And eat hotdogs for the win

[@WinnisTravels]

There are tons of noisy concrete Autobahns in Germany. Thanks for another awesome video.

[@laszlobakonyi9447]

The Hotdog eating was funny! 😄

[@BerkerCelik]

Perhaps "Auxillary Heater when unlocked" option is active and that is why the battery cooling stops when the car is unlocked.

[@bjornnyland]

Maybe

[@evkx]

@@bjornnyland I agree. it is probably that function. I use to have it on

[@Fredrik-v4z]

MEB is back! Please test the updated Skoda Enyaq Coupe RS, it should kick ass for the lord.

[@mattiasarlebrandt3932]

The drag coefficient of the Q4 is 0,28 for the regular and 0,26 for the sportback! Just to remind you.

[@haaibaai]

I always have the same with blisters in my mouth. It hurts like crazy. Good health to you!

[@GeorgeMaltezu-w7w]

Hei Bjorn! When charging you can control the climate control on unlocking from the Audi App. Agree that software needs to be updated for smarter charging sessions. 😊

[@c.brinker4387]

Great and interesting challenge with funny meals and qualified Ninja experience💪🏼👏🏼

[@macki5542]

Love this test 👍 what a great improvement! I would like for you to talk to vw about their batteries and where all the energy goes…. I bought the Skoda enyaq coupe rs last fall and when I received it, it had 74750wh available energy and now after 15000km it’s down to 69250wh, I called Skoda services and they recommended me to charge 100% every day for a couple of weeks to see if it gets more energy…..

[@Trades46]

Been a Q4 50 e-tron quattro owner for almost a year now. Excellent car overall.

[@yannik4661]

"Vorsprung is back" got me 😂

[@ท่องเที่ยวทั่วโลก-ฑ2ฑ]

[@alvin.holbrook]

Definitely had to skip through the hot dog eating but we appreciate all the knowledge, opinion, and input your bring, Bjorn!

[@MrVeeBlog]

Yes its painful. I do the same thing from time to time and it makes no sense why it happens. And sometimes, I bite the same spot 4 or 5 times. lol.

[@lmlopes7]

Bjorn I don’t know if you have in Norway a cream called Bonjela! It soothes the ulcer and will heal it quickly. Works amazingly “ninja-style”!!

[@TheArminOF]

I hope CircleK comes to Germany eventually just for their sausage menu

[@AliusScitmelius]

To visit the Circle-K station, you might want to make a stop in Poland.

[@Peregar4ik]

it differs from country to country. Ive tried hot dogs in latvia and they were quite mediocre, and than again in Lithuania they were great. Hope that Germany will have better luck

[@AhBeeDoi]

How about equal time for tacos?

[@ichbineinberner]

Björn, love your Ninja food and attitude! Nice test🎉, thermal management seems to make the difference here. Stay healthy!

[@tesla-spectre]

Very good result considering the conditions

[@alanbutler487]

Please do a test on the enyaq 85 edition, I've got one on order through the motability scheme here in the UK

[@alanbutler487]

@@danielstefanovic2604 because the reveiew he has done is with the 80 and the 85 has slightly larger battery and newer more efficient motor plus different software etc. All small changes but the add up. Also it would be interesting to see the difference between the VW, Audi and skoda vehicles even with their similarities

[@alanbutler487]

Watching you eat double sosauge made me laugh, never thought I'd enjoy watching that 😅

[@eb1888.]

For the door open cooling off problem try educing the temperature setting as low as possible before you leave and turn off the hvac. Maybe that'll keep it from strt to condition the cabin on door open.

[@nicholast.9827]

Sausage is good, it hurts but it's so good... Fortunately there were images 😂

[@lkrnpk]

ah Strömstad, the one from tv show Polisen i Strömstad? Used to watch that learning Swedish, but only learned as much to understand written Swedish somewhat or tv shows with subtitles... But I could translate the sign that Bjorn read way faster :D

[@cmulvad]

In Denmark you can get klorhexidin mouthwash at apoteket, maybe you have something similar in Norway. Doesnt taste great, but really help the mouth wound to not get as infected and therefore way way les painfull. combine with multivitamin and extra vitamin C, can get them down from lasting a week to a couple of days.

[@ReedikLindau]

Haha, at 9:50 performance you should get an Oscar 😂

[@franksasse3883]

Charging is obviously meanwhile too fast to have a pee 😅

[@parwest6800]

The car will start climate 5 minutes when you lock it up. But it’s a setting you can turn off Björn

[@Amaury-Philips]

Björn look at time 7:12 you can see the button to press on the blinker stalk for active lane assist (autosteer)

[@4baertjes]

I'm also convinced the car has lane assist, altough I don't understand why this is such a topic for Björn. Am I the only one who does not want lane-assist/autosteer? I even choose BMW iX1 instead of Enyaq for next car, because you can not permanently switch of lane assist in the Skoda. You have to hold your steering wheel anyway, so I never saw the point of having this feature.

[@bjornnyland]

Nope, this car doesn't have it. Trust me. It's quite stripped down. I will test fully loaded Q4 later.

[@Amaury-Philips]

@@bjornnyland did you look at the button on the Blinker stalk or not? Because you have the button for active lane assist and when the car doesn't have the option the button is not there

[@4baertjes]

@@bjornnyland We trust you 🙂

[@dellyet]

Amazing that it can keep good temperature in battery when driving or your speed is very high, because Ioniq5 battery cools very quickly or the heat savages is to high.

[@fightblade]

The power of 800V architecture ;-)

[@jonasekstrand9941]

ABB = ASEA Brown Boberg, ASEA a Swedish company and Brown Boveri from Switzerland and they merged in, if I remember correctly, the 80s.

[@leiflillandt1488]

I would guess about 1990. I moved permanently to Sweden in 1987, and I think the discussion was quite intense at those times. But maybe the discussions were more intense short afterwards than before the merger. Like in the UK now they discuss Brexit very intensely and the voting was 2016, eight years ago...

[@RollwithAndy1]

Bjorn you are a legend what a trooper pain pain pain lol

[@yhfsywfit]

Open question here, do most northern Europeans think about wind speed in m/sec? Or is it just Bjorn? One of the things I love about Bjorn’s channel is his fluent use of numbers. He speaks my language; I’m often dumbfounded that most people don’t know how big a 130 litre bin is, for example.

[@leiflillandt1488]

Yes, in the Nordic countries the vind speed measured is m/sec. But in the weather forecasts they use different words in Sweden and Norway. I know some of the words, but I don't know the intervals they represent even though I have lived 35 years in Sweden!

[@kemaldinler]

Hi @Björn, isn't it the Q4 E-Tron 50 Quattro ? Its written back of the car as "50"

[@iawdw]

He mentioned in a different video that it has the wrong batch.

[@bjornnyland]

It's 45 with the wrong 50 tag.

[@davidsteenfeldt6277]

I’m thinking of getting this car and expect to do trips of 370km without stopping to charge. Is the is feasible? Seems like you need to do 20 min of charging per this video…

[@simonengvall7433]

ABB is Swedish/Swiss

[@leiflillandt1488]

ASEA (Swedish) BROWN BOVERI (Swiss), HQ in Switzerland since the merger. ASEA/ABB in Västerås, Sweden about 25 km from my place... A former ASEA company, now Westinghouse, makes fuel sticks/poles for nuclear power plants around in Europe. And our company has made the cases for the fuel poles...

[@leiflillandt1488]

​@@ChouduSieben... and if you wait for another 6-8 months, there will be other changes/improvements. The development goes in some way quite fast. Even price cuts are signs of improvements.

[@ChouduSieben]

@@leiflillandt1488 For sure. I mean these are nice improvements. We already had electric VWs Audis Teslas and Renaults before. I was just curious if it was just the software that has to be updated for the preheating and charging curve

Bjørn - a very interesting video on the UK market & EVs from Harry's Garage (car journalist Harry Metcalfe) kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIvcpKmdopeSd9k He endorses your channel for all the detailed work you have done (you are unique, really, in the English language for the quality of your testing. You and Kyle Connor anyway). He highlights EV battery degradation and refers to your work on this. You probably already saw it but I thought I'd leave this comment in case you had not.

[@wocket42]

Yeah, not sure how 30 kWh/100km is "efficient" in 2024 when other cars in similar size did this 8 years earlier with 19 kWh/100km or so. Double the battery size and double the fast charging speed it meaningless when the newer cars also have almost double the energy consumption.

[@Aztasu]

Seems like you don't follow the market closely. The Mercedes-Benz CLA will be revealed at the end of this year and will be the most efficient EV on the market.

[@NO3V]

So 132% of the consumption of a Model Y with the same time and conditions. For much less spacious car with worse interior materials etc. . Interesting.
