Audi Q4 e tron Sportback Review

[@thomasdavidbassett483]

I have just ordered one for 2024 you answered a lot of questions, that will make changing from my A6 a lot easier. I will be replaying this again.

[@nathanwolf5547]

Having spent a lot of time in the car with you, Bear,(a few hundred miles) I can say you are spot on with the review. Another great review.

[@teddavis2561]

I'm looking at used Q4 (50, Sportbacks). Presumably the dealer battery SoH "certifcate" just says ... oh yeah, it's at least 70% - which it has to be anyway, for the 8 year warranty. I'm gonna want way better than that if I forking out £40k. How can I get an accurate batt. SoH %? (V useful review 🙂)

Really nice looking car. Possibly will change my current Kia soul first edition for one.

Why?

[@solarispete]

the Q4 does have its quirks but i much prefer the styling over the Hyundai. Personal preference

[@c0d3_m0nk3y]

In my opinion, the biggest competitor is the Volvo EX 30, not Hyundai. I'd still prefer the Audi, though, because the EX30 is just a bit too small. Polestar 3 would be my dream car, but it's too expensive. Rivian R2 might be interesting as well, but it won't come out until 2026.

What's the obsession with bottle of drink in the door pockets with all these car reviewers!!!!

[@AutoBears]

Hey there Frank. Thanks for the question. The Q4 isn’t the best example but if you watch some of my other videos (new i20 being a good example) you’ll see that manufacturers have a recess in the doors that is bottle shaped. These can be of various sizes making it perfect for a small to large bottle of drink. A lot of people have bottles or thermos flasks with them and it’s a great place to store it. I wouldn’t class it as an obsession but more me wanting to inform the viewer (you) of their size and shape. Hope that helps. Dave

Go look at the crash test scores and tell me you'd go Hyundai over German engineering.

[@AutoBears]

Hey there Steve. I took your advice and had a little look. Those Korean cars are safe!! Just as safe as their German rivals.

[@steve8510]

@@AutoBears Bwahahahaaaaaa good one, their side impacts are 20cm off the pace and crumple zones frankly pathetic.

[@AutoBears]

@@steve8510 I’m just going by the Euro Ncap scores here Steve. ☺️

[@steve8510]

@@AutoBears No where near as good as IIHS who let you delve into the numbers, then you see the vast difference in even little things like footwell intrusion, brake pedal movement, how many cm's for side intrusions. Hyundai aren't in the same universe, I've never see so much red on a report.
