AI generated from our expert reviews

Choosing between these electric Audi SUVs comes down to practical capability and how you tackle everyday driving. The Audi Q6 e-tron charges faster and can tow more than the Audi Q4 e-tron, and it adds useful storage with a front boot under the bonnet where the Q4 e-tron has none. However, while the Q4 e-tron is easy to drive around town, the Q6 e-tron feels like a big, bulky car when you are trying to manoeuvre through urban streets. Both cabins offer plenty of space in the back for a six-foot adult to sit behind someone of a similar height, though neither SUV proves particularly enjoyable or thrilling to drive on a twisting country road.
