AI generated from our expert reviews

Both the Audi e-tron GT and BMW i4 bring high quality to their cabins, where you will find brilliant materials and sturdy construction throughout. However, both cars also feature tight headroom in the back seats, and neither includes a remote release lever in the boot to fold those rear seats down easily. If carrying luggage is a regular priority, the BMW i4 offers a bigger boot than the Audi. When you are on the move, managing your cabin temperature is handled differently between the two. The e-tron GT keeps separate physical controls for the heating and air conditioning, whereas the i4 moves its air conditioning controls to the bottom of the touchscreen rather than having separate buttons.
