Family-sized electric SUV arrives at Wagonex
Audi already has cars which are 100 per cent powered by electricity…they’re called e-tron. But, they’re based on cars which use a lot of underpinnings from their petrol / diesel models.
Until now.
The Audi Q4 is brand new from the ground up and is designed from the outset to be powered by electricity.
Go easily and there’s a potential range of 307 miles in the Q4. If you plug into a fast charger for a top-up, you’ll add 80 miles of range in around 10 minutes. Impressive!
How does it drive?
Driving is simplicity itself. Pull a slider on the centre console towards you….and away you go. Needless to say that you ride along in near silence with only some wind noise and tyre rumble to keep you company. I wouldn’t expect a fast car here, or the ability to make sharp turns, it’s a car made for that effortless cruise, rather than being super quick it makes driving a pleasure. Switch on the radio and you won’t hear anything apart from your favourite tunes or radio station. The seats are extremely comfortable and there’s loads of space front and back. Overall, the Q4 feels incredibly refined.
The interior
The interior is the usual Audi work of art. The standard of finish is up with the very best. You get a high level of kit including air con and sat nav controlled via a really smart colour touchscreen. There’s everything you really need.
Would we recommend it?
It’s a brilliant car. The fact that it also looks terrific is icing on the cake.
