The Audi Q4 e-tron is a brand-new electric SUV that has recently hit the market. It is the first compact electric SUV from the Audi brand and is expected to compete with other popular electric SUVs like the Tesla Model Y and the Ford Mustang Mach-E. Recently, I had the opportunity to test drive the Audi Q4 electric car and wanted to share my thoughts with you. In total, I drove almost 520 km over the course of an extended weekend trip. The routes included the German Autobahn with its unlimited roads, as well as speed-limited country roads, traffic jams and inner-city traffic. In total, I, only, had an overall consumption of 17,7 kw/h which is considered good.
