Compare the Audi Q4 e-tron vs Ford Explorer
AI generated from our expert reviews
Both the Audi Q4 e-tron and the Ford Explorer make quiet motorway cruisers, with cabins that glide in near silence or remain hushed at speed. In town, however, their ride comfort differs. The Q4 e-tron absorbs potholes and speed bumps with ease, whereas the Explorer has pretty stiff suspension that never really settles over potholes and speed humps. When you look over your shoulder, neither car provides good rear visibility because of a small or narrow rear window. Practicality brings another shared trait, as you will find no front boot under the bonnet of either SUV.
