Audi Q4 e-tron 2027 review: Updated electric SUV splits difference between new BMW iX3 & iX1 EVs

The 2027 Audi Q4 e-tron has arrived with significant upgrades to solidify its position in the premium mid-size SUV segment. In this video, CarsGuide journalist John Mahoney heads overseas to detail the revised line-up. The entry-level rear-wheel-drive variant now opens the range alongside a more powerful rear-wheel-drive performance model, while the flagship all-wheel-drive quattro and quattro performance variants top the electric line-up. This mid-life update introduces major changes to the exterior design and passenger cabin. John examines the sharper styling, shorter overhangs and colour-matched enclosed grille that give the vehicle a more progressive road presence. Inside, a redesigned dashboard features a new curved screen housing the digital instrument cluster and a massive infotainment display. Practicality remains a strong point with extensive cabin storage, a 515-litre boot and an increased 1800kg braked towing capacity on twin-motor variants. On the road, John evaluates the real-world driving impressions of the more efficient electric motors and the reworked suspension setup. The testing covers driving range, energy efficiency and the newly introduced bidirectional vehicle-to-load charging system. This comprehensive coverage assesses how the refined German challenger stacks up for value against key segment rivals like the Tesla Model Y, BMW iX3 and Mercedes-Benz GLC Electric. #Audi #Q4 #Review -- Timecodes: 00:00 Intro 00:25 Design 02:02 Practicality 03:02 Under the bonnet 03:34 Driving 03:59 Efficiency 04:18 Pricing 05:41 Verdict -- Read John's full review: https://bit.ly/3Quvamx Check out our Audi Q4 e-tron hub: https://bit.ly/4eYloCp Find more SUVs: https://bit.ly/3QVs1X1 Visit our EVGuide: https://bit.ly/3UHO9GT -- CarsGuide - Go beyond the test drive Visit our website for News, Reviews, Advice and more: https://www.carsguide.com.au Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/carsguide Like our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/carsguide.australia Follow our TikTok profile: https://www.tiktok.com/@carsguide.com.au Follow our Instagram profile: https://www.instagram.com/carsguideaus Follow our X profile: https://www.x.com/CarsGuide Follow our Threads profile: https://www.threads.net/@carsguideaus Follow our LinkedIn page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/carsguide-com-au
