AI generated from our expert reviews

Choosing between the Audi Q4 e-tron and the Audi Q4 Sportback e-tron comes down to roofline and practical shape. The Q4 e-tron has solid rear headroom, whereas passengers over six feet tall will feel their heads touching the roof in the Sportback. The Sportback offers slightly more luggage volume up to the parcel shelf, but the standard Q4 e-tron is far more practical for large objects thanks to its squarer shape and taller load area. On the motorway, the Sportback produces a bit less wind noise due to its slippier roofline. Both cars share the same frustrations inside, including an 11.9-inch driver display surrounded by cheap-looking plastic, fiddly on-screen climate menus, and scratchy plastics on the door cards and centre console. Each lacks a front boot under the bonnet, while both suffer from poor rear visibility and spongy brakes that rob confidence when slowing down.
