Overview
The Audi Q4 e-tron brings proper premium feel to the electric family SUV class. The 45 model pairs a 77kWh battery with around 320 miles of range, brisk acceleration and the hushed, solid cabin Audi does so well. Inside there is generous rear legroom, a big boot and an augmented-reality head-up display on higher trims. Charging peaks at 135kW, so long trips are painless with a quick top-up. It costs more than mainstream rivals, but the Q4 e-tron feels worth the premium every time you shut the door with that satisfying thunk.
UK price from: £47,000
