What reviewers say

Reviewers agree the Q4 Sportback e-tron is comfortable, good to drive and well built, and gives up little practicality to the Q4 SUV, with a slightly bigger boot. The drawbacks are a higher price than the SUV and less rear headroom; Carwow found the 2026 update's driver display a step back from the earlier car's.
