It\u2019s absolutely impossible to have a discussion about electric cars without mentioning Tesla. It\u2019s the go-to brand for almost anyone looking to go green. However, that doesn\u2019t make it the right choice all the time, as many other brands are developing excellent EVs at the moment. In fact the newest car from Silicon Valley, the Tesla Model Y, is only one of the\u00a0all-electric crossovers<\/a>\u00a0in the segment now. The new Audi\u00a0Q4 Sportback e-tron<\/a>\u00a0Concept was just recently revealed and the production version will take on the Model Y directly.<\/p>\n

We won\u2019t compare the cars\u2019 specs or quality, because we haven\u2019t driven either and the e-tron\u2019s specs are purely conceptual at the moment. However, we can compare their designs, as the Model Y is on sale and the Q4\u2019s is about 90-percent production-ready.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s clear from the moment you lay eyes on both that the Audi Q4 Sportback e-tron comes from a legacy automaker, while the Tesla comes from something entirely new. The Audi has all the usual internal combustion design elements, just modified for EV-duty. For instance, it still has a front grille and front air intakes, despite not having an engine or any oil coolers. That may seem old-fashioned compared to the hyper-modern Tesla but that familiarity will likely help bring customers over to electrification.<\/p>\n

[twenty20 img1=”1412″ img2=”1409″ offset=”0.5″ before=”Audi Q4 e-tron” after=”Tesla Model y”]<\/p>\n

In profile, the Model Y looks like a Model 3 that\u2019s been stung by bees. It\u2019s just a taller, swollen, bloated looking Model 3, with no real interesting design elements to speak of. However, the Audi Q4 Sportback e-tron has muscular wheel arches, a very sleek roofline and short overhangs, giving it a very sporty appearance. If you want to blend into the crowd, go for the Tesla, if you want to stand out, stick with Audi.<\/p>\n

Telsa\u2019s press site images don\u2019t offer much by way of rear angles but the Model Y\u2019s taillights are rather normal and boring looking. While the Q4 gets an uber-high-tech OLED light bar, which looks very futuristic.<\/p>\n

[twenty20 img1=”1413″ img2=”1410″ offset=”0.5″ before=”Audi Q4 e-tron” after=”Tesla Model y”]<\/p>\n

All in, the Audi Q4 Sportback e-tron is the better looking car. The Tesla Model Y is an inoffensive little bubble of a car. It\u2019s not bad looking but it\u2019s not good looking, either. It\u2019s just rather boring. Sure, there are parts of the Q4\u2019s design that don\u2019t work all that well but at least it\u2019s interesting and exciting. At least Audi was willing to take risks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
