Verdict: It falls short of providing driver entertainment, but the Q4 e-tron is a pleasant and premium EV crossover with little range anxiety.

Overview

If you're shopping for an electric vehicle, driving range is likely at the top of your list of concerns. While the 2024 Audi Q4 e-tron and Q4 e-tron Sportback both offer a package that's good for reducing those range anxieties, neither are class leaders in this metric. The rear-wheel drive 40 is rated for up to 265 miles per charge, which is more than most drivers will do in a day's worth of commuting and errand running. And the Q4 e-tron is capable of mastering such tasks, thanks to a practical cabin that offers similar cargo space as the gas-powered Q5; buyers of the sleeker-looking Q4 e-tron Sportback will give up some cargo area in the name of fashion. Rivals such as the Volvo XC40 Recharge and the Tesla Model Y offer similar packages, though, and both offer more driving range, leaving the Audi with its tech-filled cabin and handsome styling as its core selling points.
