Passenger & boot space
How it copes with people and clutter
Front space
You’ll have plenty of head and leg room in the front of the Q4 e-tron, even if you’re well over six-feet tall, plus the car is wide enough that there’s no danger of the driver and front passenger banging elbows.
You also get a huge storage bin between the front seats, along with two cupholders and a generous stowage area at the base of the dashboard, while the door bins are a good size.
True, the Tesla Model 3 can take 10 cases, but that's split between its two boots (including one in its nose) and it has a narrower saloon-car opening. The Q4’s wide aperture and tailgate mean it’ll fit much bulkier items, plus that tailgate is powered on all versions.
If you specify a height-adjustable boot floor (part of the optional Function Pack) and set it to its highest setting, there's no step up to the folded seats, making it easier to slide in big heavy loads. It also lets you keep the charging cable beneath the floor away from your luggage, and adds a 12V boot-mounted power socket and nets to stop smaller items sliding around.
