I was reviewing this article: 2022 Audi Q4 e-Tron Sportback: Expected Release Date, Price, MPG, And Performance (carhp.com)
Those prices seem a bit optimistic based on Canadian pricing.
You too? Yeah, I saw that Audi interior and as a former (satisfied) allroad owner, it looked very familiar, yet at the same time was a bit of a let down, as if they're not quite embracing the modern EV esthetic, or capitalizing on what it has to offer (particularly the gear selector, but in general the lack of clutter).
Yeah the Audi looks nice, if safe. Steering wheel looks much nicer with the acc functions in a separate stalk. I think the map behind the steering wheel is gimmicky and like the id4 minimalist display, except the complete lack of any mileage, trip duration, consumption or other basic info that head been on the DIS displays for the last 20 years. I prefer the completely open center console on the id4 to what Audi did with the weird controls shelf and traditional hinged storage. Both are pure touchscreen so not much difference there. I really miss the MMI dial, it's the most ergonomic and safe way to control the screen.
I agree, they are going with the safe approach and I think that it's going to be successful. My wife is interested in trading-in her Q5 hybrid for the Q4 sportback.
Sorry but this is too optimistic.
Don't think it'll be sandwiched between Q3 and Q4 due to it being electric and electric cars tend to cost more than ICE still. I'm guessing more around $48-$52K before any incentives.
