What reviewers say

Reviewers agree the Q4 e-tron is comfortable, quiet and easy to drive, and roomy for its size. The common criticisms are high prices, range and performance that are unremarkable next to rivals, and interior quality below what the badge suggests; Carwow and Parkers found the brakes soft and inconsistent. Most of these reviews cover the 2026 update.
