Compare the Tesla Model Y vs Audi Q4 e-tron
AI generated from our expert reviews
If you are deciding between these two electric SUVs, each has distinct strengths. The Audi Q4 e-tron absorbs potholes with ease, whereas this version of the Tesla Model Y is shaken up by rough roads and thuds through potholes. However, the Model Y is more efficient, can tow more, and gives you more room with the back seats folded down. The Tesla also has a front boot, whereas there is no front boot under the Audi's bonnet. In the back, there is more than enough space for three six-footers to easily fit in the Tesla, even if the middle seat is less cushioned, while sitting three abreast in the Q4 e-tron is a bit of a squeeze. Over-the-shoulder visibility is poor in the Audi, and it is rather poor in the Model Y as well.
