Compare the Audi Q4 e-tron vs BMW iX3
AI generated from our expert reviews
Both the Audi Q4 e-tron and BMW iX3 offer light steering around town. When you venture onto country lanes, the iX3 is surprisingly enjoyable to drive, whereas you should not expect much fun from the Q4 e-tron, although it has plenty of grip. The BMW is shaken about a bit over especially rough road surfaces, while the Audi absorbs potholes and speed bumps with ease. Low-speed braking is easy to control in the iX3, yet the Q4 e-tron has brakes that are far too spongy for consistent, smooth stops. For practicality, the iX3 charges faster, travels further on a charge, tows more, and provides more room with the rear seats folded. It also provides storage under the bonnet, whereas there is no front boot on the Audi.
