AI generated from our expert reviews

Both the BMW iX2 and the Audi Q4 Sportback e-tron feature sloping rooflines that hamper rear visibility, and tall adults sitting in the back of either car will find their heads touching the roof lining. Each provides useful underfloor boot space for storing charging cables, though the Audi charges faster. Out on twisty roads, neither model is truly fun to drive. When dealing with bumps in town, however, their suspensions behave quite differently: the Q4 Sportback e-tron uses soft suspension to handle battered surfaces, speed bumps and potholes with very little fuss, whereas you really do notice the bumps in the firmer iX2.
