When Audi first announced pricing for the Audi Q4 e-tron<\/a>, we were quite impressed by its competitiveness. At around just $45,000 to start, the Q4 is priced well in the segment, for an all-electric premium crossover. However, it does lack range and power compared to some of its rivals who also offer competitive pricing. So let\u2019s take a look at how the Q4 compares to the rest of the lineup, in the $40,000-$55,000 range.<\/p>\n Before we get started, let\u2019s just get this out of the way; this isn\u2019t going to be an exact apples-to-apples comparison for every car. Electric vehicles in the Q4\u2019s price range are not created equal; some are sedans, some are hatchbacks, some are crossovers.<\/p>\n But because EV buyers have such a limited selection, they\u2019re cross-shopping all of them. So even though it might not seem fair that a crossover gets bonus points over a sedan for its practicality, EV customers are going to weigh those factors when searching through their limited choice of EVs.<\/p>\n We\u2019re also going to stick with entry-level prices and specs, as options and packages can be very different and difficult to compare. Since most EV customers\u2019 main concern is always range anyway, we\u2019re just gonna stick with the basics. Additionally, we\u2019ll be using pre-destination prices and excluding any sort of government tax incentives, as some vary.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n The Audi\u00a0Q4 e-tron<\/a>\u00a0uses a 77 kWh battery pack and a single rear-mounted motor to make 201 horsepower and 229 lb-ft of torque, so expect a 0-60 mph time of 7.9 seconds. It\u2019s also said to have around 250 miles of range in its entry-level form. Audi says the entry-level Q4 e-tron will start at around $45,000. There will be a dual-motor model coming soon, which will likely start between $50,000-$55,000 and come with 295 horsepower, slightly less range than 250 miles, and a 0-60 mph time of 5.7 seconds.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Audi\u2019s sibling from Wolfsburg brings its own EV crossover to the fight. The Volkswagen ID.4<\/a>\u00a0starts at $39,995 and has a single rear-mounted electric motor, paired with an 77 kWh net battery pack. The motor makes 201 horsepower and 229 lb-ft of torque, getting the ID.4 from 0-60 mph in 7.9 seconds. It\u2019s essentially a cheaper, less premium Q4 e-tron. It has a max range of 260 miles. The dual-motor all-wheel drive model comes in at under $50,000 and should bring the same 295 horsepower, 249 miles of range, and a 0-60 mph time of 5.7 seconds as the dual-motor Audi.<\/p>\nAUDI Q4 E-TRON<\/h5>\n
