Audi's 'entry-level' electric shares its underpinnings and tech with the Skoda Enyaq and Volkswagen ID.4. Is it 'Audi' enough to justify its loftier price tag?

Ginny Says

“​The Audi takes all the best bits of its Volkswagen ID.4 stablemate and adds the sort of premium feel that you'd expect from the brand. You have to pay for it of course but the Q4 really does feel a notch up in terms of cabin quality and overall feel.”

James Says

“The introduction of a cheaper '40' model in 2025 has drastically lowered the starting price of Audi's smallest electric SUV, now making it very competitively priced. It's still a good chunk pricier than its Skoda Enyaq sister, but it justifies it.”

​There are no bargains to be had in the Q4 range, especially if you start ticking the options boxes. It's cheap to run though.

Audi Q4 e-tron pricing

There are three versions: the '40' that starts at £46,610 and comes with a 59kWh battery and around 202bhp, that should provide a WLTP range of 256 miles in the most efficient spec. 

Add another £4,700 and you’ll be able to afford the car that’ll take the lion’s share of Q4 sales, which is called the '45'. It has a 77kWh battery, 282bhp and should manage up to 338 miles on the WLTP cycle. 

Above that is the 335bhp ‘50’ with its all-wheel drive quattro system, which starts at £57,690. Thanks to its larger power reserves and all-wheel drive grip, unsurprisingly its range drops to 306 miles

Aside from the battery sizes, you’ve a choice of Sport, S-Line, and Black Edition. Sport are the mos efficient models thanks to their smaller wheels.

Sportback models are a little more efficient to the regular Q4s, thanks to their more aerodynamic design.

Audi Q4 e-tron running costs

The Q4 e-tron looks good in this regard, with a full charge at home comparing nicely to smaller, less premium electric SUVs at just under a tenner. 

It’s going to cost over £30 to fuel a petrol Audi Q5 enough to cover the same sort of mileage the most efficient Q4s offer. 

The insurance is good value too, at group 26, while a three-year/60,000-mile warranty is on par for the class, but nothing spectacular. All models are over £40,000 meaning it doesn’t enjoy any of the UK government grants currently on offer to lower priced models.
