Compare the Audi Q4 e-tron vs Tesla Model 3
AI generated from our expert reviews
Both the Audi Q4 e-tron and the Tesla Model 3 are an easy breeze to drive around town. How they deal with rougher surfaces sets them apart, though. The Q4 e-tron absorbs potholes and speed bumps with ease, whereas the Model 3 can jiggle about on rough roads and crash through potholes. If you want fun on twisty lanes, do not expect a thrill ride from the Audi, while the Tesla feels more like a sports car than a family saloon thanks to its low centre of gravity and responsive steering. When it comes to practicality, the Model 3 is more efficient and has a bigger boot, but the Q4 e-tron gives you more room with the back seats folded. Fitting child seats is also easier in the Audi thanks to convenient flip-up ISOFIX covers, whereas the mountings in the Tesla are awkward to get to.
