2025 Audi Q4 e-tron Q4 45 e-tron

"2024 Audi Q4 e-tron quattro 55: 1,000 km report TL/DR We wanted to replace our Tesla and chose the Q4. We love the vehicle. Does all ‘car’ stuff really well, but Audi is 10 years behind on software. Our 2013 Tesla Model S was getting long in the tooth, with brake issues no one could seem to solve. We hated giving up free and worry free Supercharging, but it was time. My wife and I sat in a Model Y. She asked how to open the glove box. I replied she had to do it from the centre screen. On the spot she declared she’d never own one. Off to Mercedes to look at the EQB. We had a deal on the table for a new 2024 EQB 300 but the sales consultant messed up horsepower and range ratings, causing us to lose faith in the process. Our deposit was refunded and we moved on to Audi. We test drove a Q4, and were impressed with the array of buttons, the adjustability of the HVAC and vents controlling airflow, and how “conventional” the interior is with Audi’s usual superb design and fit and finish. We’re in Canada, so no tax credit, but we were able to take advantage of the federal $5K rebate, another $3,450 in Audi and dealership stackable cash along with pretty good trade-ins on the Tesla and saying goodbye to my 2004 BMW 330ci convertible (sniff). We added Premium, Tech, Black Optic and Sonos packages and the dealer added the wireless phone charger which was rebated back to us. We added ceramic, all-weather floor mats to finish it up. We’ve had the vehicle for almost two weeks now, with a little over 1,200 kilometres accumulated. **Highs** * This thing is wickedly fast. 335 hors"

"Audi Q4 45 quattro vs Tesla model Y longe range RWD Hey all, I’m trying to decide between two EVs: • Audi Q4 e-tron 45 Quattro (2025) • Tesla Model Y Juniper (facelift 2025) I’ve test driven both and I’m looking for realworld feedback, especially from people who have owned or taken them on road trips. Here’s my take so far: Audi Q4 e-tron 45 Quattro • Premium interior feel and build quality. • Comfortable ride, solid driving dynamics. • Downsides: shorter real-world range compared to the Model Y, infotainment feels a bit dated, fewer features included at base price. Tesla Model Y Juniper • Spacious, minimalistic interior with huge cargo space. • Longer range and faster charging in practice, plus better route planning and charging network integration. • Downsides: less “traditional” interior design, build quality not on par with Audi in some areas. For context: • I drive mostly in the Netherlands, but I also plan multiple long trips across Europe each year. • Efficiency, charging speed, and real-world range are important. • Tesla’s Superchargers are now open to other brands, but Tesla’s integration still seems ahead. So… in terms of total packagelong-term reliability, comfort, tech, efficiency, and charging experience – is the Audi actually a better buy than the Tesla, or does Tesla take the win? Would love to hear from people who’ve used either of these cars for daily driving and long trips."

"#1· Feb 23, 2026 Why does it take Audi almost 3 weeks and counting to respond to a dealer TAC service question? Here's the scenario. I brought my 2025 Q6 E-Tron to the dealer on Feb 2nd to get it's 10k service. The car was pretty flawless to that point. On the advice of the service manager I agreed to the KD2 update. After the update completed, the car reported the update failed but the computer installing the update indicated the update was successful. The techs at the dealer couldn't go any further so they sent message to Audi (TAC). No response from Audi till February 19th. Seriously? Is the response being sent by carrier pigeon? So, my Q6 sat in the dealer parking lot for 17 days and counting and I have no idea what can be done or when it will be done. This is completely 100% unacceptable. I can't imagine any other business surviving like this. And honestly at this price point I expected better, much better. The dealer has been really really good. They've expressed a fair amount of frustration with Audi's responsiveness. They got a service loaner for me. Which is great but I didn't buy an EV to keep buying gas for a month. And to be honest, the Q5 kinda sucks in comparison to the Q6. Almost done complaining, but if anyone has some helpful advice I'd love to hear it. As of today, the 23rd, according to my contact at the dealer, they've been in daily communi"

"Audi Q4 e-tron Software Issues New owner with a Q4 e-tron Sportback Quattro 50 and have been loving the drive. That is until two weeks in when I experienced a cascade of error messages upon start (see attached vid). Four back-to-back attempts looking for a clean start encountered the same thing. Ended up calling Audi Roadside and got a tow to our Audi dealership. Diagnostics done and I’m told the matter is a software issue and there is no fix. I’m told to wait for next software release but no idea when it will come but, good news, there is a work-around… turn car off, wait 5min and try again. Inquiries were made to Audi Canada by dealership but five days later no response. OK… picking car up tomorrow since it is supposed to be working fine BUT my confidence in this vehicle being available when I need it is significantly shaken. I question why Audi does not have the concept of a patch release or hotfix for major issues rather than make people wait for a full release. It is clear their definition of a major issue is not determined from a customer perspective, i.e. impacts function to point of intended use not being achievable. But hey, stop everything, wait and then try again. No idea when and if this issue will occur again. I will keep this community updated."

"I once was a fan of my Q4 (Audi Q4 e-tron 2023) Like the title says – I used to *love* my Q4 back in 2023. After waiting almost two years between ordering and finally getting it delivered, I was genuinely happy and excited. It had been my dream car from the moment I first saw it, and picking it up in Ingolstadt was a really special moment for me. At first, everything was great. It was summer, the battery was new, and I was easily getting around 400 km of range (charging to 80%, which I always did). That completely matched my needs. But fast forward two years, and now in the middle of winter, things look very different. Today, for example, I charged at an Audi Charging Hub up to 70%, and the estimated range was just 235 km. Yes, I know — it’s cold, batteries degrade over time, and winter efficiency is always worse. Even though today it was actually around +2°C, not extreme cold at all. Still… after almost 60,000 km, I have to say I’m pretty disappointed. I honestly don’t see myself getting another Q4, as much as I love the design and Audi as a brand. 200-ish kilometers of real-world range just isn’t enough anymore. Or rather: it *could* be enough if charging were fast. But especially in winter, the car rarely pulls more than 80 kW (instead of the advertised 125–130 kW). Charging from around 10% to 80% regularly takes 40 minutes or more. And since I have to do this almost daily because of my commute, it really adds up. On top of that, charging prices here in Germany are so high that it’s barely cheaper than driving a petrol car — especially since I don’t have a wall"

"This is the kind of marketing drivel that Audi puts out to give the impression that they are nimble with software development. In my opinion this person and her team should be reassigned. We don’t have OTA updates like they talk about. People reading this piece will think we do. ### Up-to-Date Thanks to over-the-air \| audi.com #2· Feb 7, 2026 Giving them the benefit of the doubt, it sounds like they're working on this as a future improvement for unreleased models. But yes, generally misleading. #3· Feb 7, 2026 The only way I can see VAG will have a working Full-OTA is to lure a bunch of Tesla's software coders, software engineers, etc. #4· Feb 7, 2026"
