The latest SUV from the ring firm looks great.
Especially in the Edition One finish, with its mouse gray color coordinated with bronze-colored rims (+ 11,550 euros).
Seeing it on the street, the Q4 would almost sound like a restyled Q5.
It is impossible to imagine that this 4.58 m long family vehicle inaugurates the Volkswagen group's MEB electric platform for Audi.
Its specificity: the synchronous electric motor is installed at the rear, making the Q4 a propulsion.
Quattro versions are nevertheless in the catalog.

What responsibility at the wheel of an “autonomous car”?

The tested 40 version has a power of 204 hp and a battery of 77 kWh useful.
Quiet operation, impression of power due to the delivery of all 310 Nm of torque at start-up, chassis having the effect of a suction cup thanks to the very low center of gravity, mode B activating regenerative braking at each lift of the foot : the Q4 is a pleasant everyday companion.
Still, the weight of 2125 kg does not make it the queen of agility and plays on accelerations, never virulent (0 to 100 km / h in 8.5 seconds).
On the consumption side, the Q4 announces 17.6 kWh / 100 km, which corresponds to a range of 513 km with a full charge.
Very theoretical values because the on-board computer promises 380 km due to a consumption of 24.5 kWh.
A dashboard similar to that of thermal models

Accepting up to 125 kW of charging power, the battery recovers all of its energy in 30 minutes on an Ionity type fast charging station. On an 11 kW wallbox, we go to 7:30 am and on a domestic outlet, it will be necessary to be patient with no less than 45:30! The navigation system plans the stops at the terminals for you, but it is not always very inspired. Inside, fans of the brand will not be disoriented. The Q4 did not cede to the vogue of XXL panels and the dashboard, distinguished by a central screen facing the driver and a levitating center console, is a model of ergonomics. As often, to access the best of the brand, you have to break the bank. While the base model starts at 48,700 euros (1,040 euros more than the VW ID.4),our Q4 carried 18,000 euros in options, including the heat pump invoiced at 1,160 euros.
