Audi Q4 Sportback review

You sit quite high up in the Audi Q4 Sportback e-tron, plus there’s a wide range of adjustment to help you get settled, including for lumbar support.

As a bonus, the climate controls are conventional switches, which are far less distracting to use on the move than the touchscreen icons you get in the Skoda Enyaq, let alone the touch-sensitive panels of the Volkswagen ID.4.

The small rear screen hinders your rear view too, and you only get a reversing camera if you go for top-spec Vorsprung trim, or pay extra for the Comfort and Sound Pack. Powerful LED headlights are standard across the range, as are rear parking sensors.

Above the climate controls in the Q4 Sportback sits a 10.1 infotainment touchscreen (or an 11.6in system if you've selected that option). It's not quite as intuitive as the set-up in the BMW iX3 but it’s better than the Skoda Enyaq’s and much better than the Volkswagen ID.4’s.

You also get a DAB radio, built-in navigation, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto smartphone mirroring, two USB-C ports and a three-year subscription to online services including Google maps and weather and hazard alerts.
