Driving the Q4

Driving the Q4 is a quiet and smooth experience. They display all the dynamic qualities you expect from an Audi. Instant torque allows rapid acceleration at almost any speed. I found that If I selected maximum regenerative braking then this allowed a more sporty approach. In many EVs the one pedal style of driving takes a while to get used to and quite frankly is a bit if a pain.

Audi overcomes this by allowing some flow on driving style while having excellent retardation.

Inside the Q4 is all Audi style and quality. Surprisingly there is enough head, shoulder , knee and leg room for my 190 cm frame to fit comfortably and have the drivers seat all the way back.

I actually really enjoyed the few days drive on the launch and am looking forward to a longer test drive shortly
