Improved 2024 Audi Q4 E-tron revealed with more power & range

I'd like to know where you got the details from of what packages Audi will offer in Australia, even the dealers don't know yet, almost certainly my next car.

Before, I owned an Audi and a Mercedes. Now, I own a Tesla. Now I think only idiots want to buy an Audi or a Mercedes.

EV's that make noise when driving are mandatory in Europe. It's a pedestrian safety measure. If you can hear it coming you are less likely to walk out in front of it when crossing the road.

There are still stubborn Europeans, who still buy German cars. Europe has been sinking so low. Just look at France, Germany, England,...nowadays. Very old, nasty colonialists.

Looks boring as do most Audi models.

The battery protection is simply a function within the software that automatically will limit the charging to 80% which is the recommendation for all pre lfp battery EV’s to extend battery life unless the owner switches it off.
This is only a function which can be switched off as charging to 100% will on occasion be required. It is not a detrimental function it is merely an extra function available on VWG MEB platform cars.

Being an EX bmw mechanic of 20+ yrs I wouldn’t believe the hype, they use smoke and mirrors and build cars the average guy would struggle to repair, built in obsolescence! 😮

Looks like a BYD atto 3 ? Probably 80% Chinese 😊

I wouldn't buy an EV with battery that has restricted charging. It's a half ready product.

Nearly bought one in 2021 in UK. Problem was they were quoting 6 months delivery and it kept moving back and back so cancelled. Nice car but it’s a bit bland and still expensive.

Comparing Q4 and iX is apples and pears, right?

My opinion is this car is better than a Tesla.

I am not a fan of Audi. The irony is they are developing new ICE engines by Skoda.

I own a Q3 and SQ5 and a 3P. Never will I buy an Audi again. Parts from VAG are dear as poison and you need a good Euro servicer. The Q series handle well however the front end will need to be replaced one day. Eg control arms , ball joints and sway bays.

Those Audi dealers were arrogant entities when Covid was on and have the nerve to charge $7000 dealer delivery. Now they are ringing prior customers with the leading line “my dealer principal asked me to call you to offer a special offer” - as if. The dealer principal wouldn’t know me from a bar of soap.

Sam, don‘t compare cars just on paper - that is useless

I am German. If you buy a German BEV I officially call you an idiot.

For the price it’s pretty crap

Audi etron 2019 you can get for under $40,000 have over $10,000.27,000 miles on it with the prestige package US

If 80% is new 100% Audi needs 25% bigger battery 😅

Not everyone likes Teslas. Audi has a very loyal customer base, and this will sell well in Europe.

Why all these legacy autos EVs only remind me a BlackBerry ?

It makes no sense to want to sit inside a cheap, dull cabin produced by cost accountants like Tesla when you can sit inside an Audi

Audi is a luxury car brand so you expect them to be expensive. Their ICE cars are more expensive than other ICE cars. I can’t afford one, but if people want it and can afford it then go for it. I would rather people drove EVs than ICE cars.

I don't see Audi as a luxury brand, I had a A3 and it was basic to say the least and no better than a cheaper ford

I've got to say, Sam, that I don't follow some of your comparisons between vehicles. A Tesla Model 3 or Y is not as high-end of a car as an Audi, so you'd expect there to be a price difference between them. You wouldn't compare two ICE vehicles based upon their range as the most important criteria. Tesla's engineering and their ability to quickly drive down costs of EVs is nothing short of amazing, but that doesn't mean buyers don't want more than their vehicles offer.

For people interested in long-distance driving with their EV, the supercharger network is what's most compelling about a Tesla. Hassle-free compared to the third-party charging companies.

How fast their software department and platform department copy from SAIC.

So crazily inefficient compared to any Tesla, why use twice the electricity & twice the charging time?

Phew …automatic overtaking & lane change ability !! Because all the motorways / freeways are clogged by cars with owners that don’t know how to overtake 🙄.

Yet another electric 2030 solution hunting for a problem 🤣🤣🤣

Until they get NACS it’s a no Bueno…

I still don’t know why Audi exists in VWs portfolio. Low end/mainstream= VW. High end = Porsche. Where does Audi sit? They’re literally for VW customers who aren’t smart buyers. There isn’t a car they make that beats or equals their competition. Would you buy a gussied up Audi over a BMW or Benz that doesn’t come from a VW Tiguan. At least u don’t get a cheap platform upsold by $10k+. They should be more compared to Acura and Infiniti and Volvo.

Tesla model y is an ugly car ;-)

What it has that the Model Y and Ioniq 5 don't is traditional styling and traditional luxury. It will appeal to a segment of the market that those other cars don't appeal to.

Not impressed. Its not just about the car. Its about the whole process from buying to servicing, to upgrading if desired. As a whole this is just a bad buy when there is a clear alternative that is just better. Sorry not sorry.

"However", Audi far more desirable and better looking than those ubiquitous & boring Teslas, shaped box of plastic with doors and wheels on it. 😀

I cant get over that etron means trud in English... check it out for yourself

First video after a long time..."wellll" 18 hrs to be precise?
People were getting withdrawal symptoms here.
"However", just a blip or a policy shift in quantity vs quality?

The French meaning of etron is turd. Well named.

There is far to little space in the trunk compared to Model Y.

Audi blows. I own an A7. Nothing but issues. My MX I’ve owned since 2016 is mind numbingly good. No a single issue in nearly 8 years. I have never owned a car this long and my wife still loves it!

No ioniq 5 or EV6 can charge at 350kw, 240 is the max. But they are very good due to the charging curve. Which Tesla sucks at. In any case this Audi is far over my price range and for most of the normal people.

Improved yes but still disappointing relative to the value you get from Tesla. Slow charging, slightly less range and way less acceleration. Just goes to show how far out in front Tesla really is

This is what’s wrong with Tesla competitors. They charge a lot more for nothing and just relying on their name. They got a long way to catch up to Tesla.

All EVs today should have LFP batteries that you can charge to 100% without degradation and haul significantly less weight around compared to lithium ion where you're only supposed to charge to 80-90%.
You'll get a bit less range, but 90% of the people will still have plenty of range.

Q4 etron = id4 more expensive
It is not worth. Better id4 , ceaper, same car

Man that looks like a more ugly Saab 900
