The Audi Q4 e-tron is temptingly priced for a premium-badged electric SUV, plus it’s a very comfortable, practical and classy choice. If you’re not so worried about the emblem on the nose of your car, we’d urge you to look at the Skoda Enyaq as well, because it’s similar in a lot of respects. However, the Q4 does feel like the more expensive car it is, particularly in terms of infotainment and interior finish.

The trim

See full equipment

Even this entry-level trim is decently equipped, getting 19in alloy wheels, powerful LED headlights, three-zone climate control, a Type 2 charging cable and a 10.1in touchscreen infotainment system incorporating a DAB radio, built-in navigation and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone mirroring. Meanwhile, standard safety kit includes automatic emergency braking and lane-keeping assistance.

The engine

See full engine specs

The 40 has a single motor, rear-wheel drive and produces 201bhp, for 0-62mph in 8.5sec. While that's nothing special by electric car standards, it still feels pretty responsive when you put your foot down. Just bear in mind that the rival Ford Mustang Mach-E is quite a bit nippier again, while the pricier Volvo XC40 P8 Recharge will leave it for dead.
