Audi Q4 Sportback e-tron performance Driving Video

An early morning in downtown Munich: around 5 a.m., long before the morning rush begins, the Audi Q4 e-tron is ready for a trip into the scenic foothills of the Bavarian Alps. Herman Verbeek, product specialist at Audi and his team set off in the heart of Bavaria’s capital, between Marienplatz and Frauenkirche. Their luggage and equipment are quickly stowed away in the SUV’s capacious trunk. One quick glance at the navigation display and the journey begins: “Hey Audi, take us to Tegernsee.” The Audi Assistant responds instantly and starts the navigation. Around 200 kilometers long, the route begins in urban surroundings before following rural roads into the foothills of the Alps and continuing along twisty roads near Tegernsee.

As traffic increases while the car makes its way out of downtown Munich, its systems handle some of the driving tasks. The navigation system finds a path through various driving situations; assistance systems help manageF distances and lane keeping. Stop-and-go traffic becomes stress-free. While the world outside becomes busier and busier, the atmosphere inside stays relaxed. The SONOS sound system fills the cabin with the sound of music. Storage in the doors, center console, and underneath the armrests totals 24 liters — enough space for water bottles, pocket umbrellas, and other everyday items. Dual charging pads mean two phones can be charged side by side.
