The 2025 Audi Q4 e-tron is a ev that earns a Carivo score of 7.5/10 — rated Recommended. Its strongest dimension is Reliability at 8.6/10, while Value at 6.5/10 is where it trails the competition most noticeably. It's a solid all-rounder that delivers across most dimensions without obvious deal-breakers.
Reliability and safety are the two dimensions that matter most for long-term ownership costs. Reliability stands out at 8.6/10. The Q4 e-tron nameplate has earned that score through its track record and a comparatively clean recall sheet. Safety is a notable gap at 6.8/10 in our scoring — below what the best in segment deliver. Check the official NHTSA ratings for the trim you're considering before deciding.
With 7.3/10 for performance, this is a car tuned for daily driving rather than excitement — perfectly capable on the commute, unremarkable on a back road. Technology scores 6.7/10 — the infotainment and driver-assist features feel dated against current-generation rivals. This is worth weighing if you prioritize connected features or modern safety tech.
Priced from $52,324–$69,466, 102 MPG, seating 5, the Audi Q4 e-tron sits in the premium tier of the ev category. The value score of 6.5/10 is a red flag — comparable alternatives offer meaningfully more for the same outlay. Shop the segment before deciding. At 1 year old, it's recent enough that the core feature set holds up well against current competition.
Verdict: Nothing about the 2025 Audi Q4 e-tron will scare a sensible buyer off. Keep an eye on safety and technology and value if those matter to you; otherwise it does what a good ev should — quietly and competently.
