BRING THE NOISE
For £625, you can now equip your Q4 e-tron with a fake engine noise generator called e-tron Sport Sound. It adds a space-age hum as you accelerate, but we’d rather save our money and go without.
MAKING SALES PREDICTIONS when launching a new electric vehicle (EV) is a risky business, but when Audi launched its Q4 e-tron back in 2021, the company confidently proclaimed that its new electric family SUV would become its second best-selling model in the UK. Well, the results are in, and while the suits at Audi were perhaps a tad optimistic with their prediction, a third place overall in the company’s 2023 sales results is nothing to sniff at. Nor is the fact that the Q4 was Audi’s best-selling SUV full stop.
