Video Description

We've spent plenty of time behind the wheel of Volkswagen's various ID.4 models - but to date, we'd never had any seat time with the up-market version of the ID.4 - the Audi Q4 e-tron. And with Audi's newest Q6 e-tron just launched (and its Q8 e-tron heading out of production), we've finally got some time with the ID.4's wealthier sibling. But is it really better because of some up-market trim? Has Audi's rally heritage come to play to help improve road manners for the MEB platform? Or is it just feeling a little dated? 00:00 - Introduction 00:50 - Montage 01:23 - About that name... 01:59 - Good (and comfortable) for road tripping 03:03 - Interior design and driver-focus consoles 05:59 - A long-term investment given the price? 07:46 - It feels like an Audi... but... 09:30 - Visibility 10:35 - Let down by the platform? 12:07 - GV60 - Beats the Q4 e-tron Quattro 13:52 - A note of "Compliance car"? 17:01 - That said, it's FUN 18:16 - The challenges of the Regen braking 23:50 - A mixture of button types 26:06 - Displays 27:12 - Lane warning is great - but not LKA 28:48 - Despite the negatives, there's exceptional handling 31:00 - Closing Thoughts 41:18 - Thanks and Goodbye! ----- Presenter: Nikki Gordon-Bloomfield, Kate Walton-Elliott Camera, Editor, Colorist: Michael Horton Art and Animation, Truck driving: Erin Carlie Producer: Nikki Gordon-Bloomfield Music - Introduction: Sero - Change Conclusion: Aves - Grand Avenue Music supplied and licensed through Artlist.io © Transport Evolved LLC, 2024 ----- Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC675NhQ4EU5TzwCMwYp5XCw/join This video was made possible thanks to the kind donations of our supporters on Patreon and Ko-fi.
