Bearing the name Q4 e-tron, this Audi compact electric SUV shares components with the Volkswagen ID.4. Befitting its reputation, the four-ringed brand’s battery-electric SUV is notably swankier than its more mainstream VW cousin. Rear-drive comes standard, however, all-wheel-drive is optionally available. A 77.0-kWh lithium-ion battery pack affords up to 265 miles of EPA-rated driving range. Those looking for a bit of extra style can opt for the Q4 e-tron Sportback is the fastback equivalent to the brand’s squareback Q4 e-tron. Unlike its squarer stablemate, though, the Sportback comes exclusively with all-wheel drive. There’s no cheaper and more efficient rear-driver option here. Though the dual-motor setup is more powerful than the single-motor of the entry-level Q4 e-tron squareback, it’s also a good deal less efficient. As such, the Sportback’s 95 MPGe combined rating is down 8 MPGe to the most efficient Q4 e-tron squareback. LEARN MORE ABOUT THE Q4 E-TRON
