Audi Q4 E-Tron

 Audi Q4 E-Tron

Audi's electric offerings are really starting to gain momentum. The E-Tron SUV debuted for 2019, followed by the sloped-roof 2020 E-Tron Sportback and more recently, the low-slung E-Tron GT. Next in line is the Q4 E-Tron, a smaller electric SUV aiming to compete with other more affordable high-riding EVs like the Tesla Model Y, Ford Mustang Mach-E, and the new Volkswagen ID4.

EPA-rated driving range comes in at 241 miles for the 2022 Audi Q4 E-Tron. Meanwhile, the EPA rates the Tesla Model Y Long Range at 326 miles, the Ford Mustang Mach-E RWD Extended at 300 miles, and the Volkswagen ID4 Pro S at 250 miles. As for Audi's other electric SUVs, the larger E-Tron SUV delivers 222 miles on the EPA cycle, and the Q4 Sportback E-Tron also gets rated for 241 miles of range.

Audi is presenting the Q4 E-Tron as something of an all-rounder, with the dimensions of a compact SUV, the wheelbase of a midsize, and the interior volume of a larger vehicle. At 180.7 inches long, 73.4 inches wide, and 63.9 inches high, it's shorter and narrower than a Tesla Model Y (187.0 inches long and 75.6 inches wide) and measures the same height. The Mustang Mach-E is also longer, but lower at 63.0 inches. The Q4 E-Tron is around the same size as a Honda CR-V, albeit lower and with a longer wheelbase (108.7 inches to the Honda's 104.8).

Although the Q4 E-Tron concept was presented as a four-seater, we're willing to bet the production version will include seating for five. Cargo space measures 18.4 cubic feet in the luggage compartment and 52.6 cubes if you fold down the rear bench.

Tech-forward interiors are Audi's bread and butter so it's no surprise they're pulling out all the stops on new EVs. The automaker's 10.3-inch digital instrument cluster is standard; base models will include a 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment display while higher trims will include an 11.6-inch variant. Audi will also offer an augmented reality heads-up display that features navigation information and driver-assist info appearing to float in front of the car.

Lucid Air 2022

  2022 Lucid Air The Lucid Air luxury sedan promises beautiful appointments in a sleek all-electric package. Additionally, the sedan boasts thrilling acceleration and an estimated top speed of 217 mph. As we'd expect of a Tesla-rivaling brand, Lucid promises that it will offer autonomous and semi-autonomous driving technologies with the Air. As we discovered in our exclusive Lucid Air Dream Edition First Drive, the electric sedan is smooth and quiet, with a hint of wind noise coming through the cabin. Although a comfortable cruiser, it appreciates a challenge. It's ridiculously quick, and surprisingly, it leaps and bounds out of corners like a Nismo GT-R. The harder you push it, the better it becomes. Steering is quick, not too light and not too heavy. The stylish sedan takes a different approach than rivals when it comes to interior design. Its three screens don't dominate the cabin like they do in the Tesla Model S and Mercedes EQS. A nice mix of leather, wood, Alca...

BMW iX 2022

   BMW iX BMW takes a huge next step into electric luxury vehicles with the iX. Although the i3 and i8 showed BMW's clear interest in alternative-powertrain cars, the new iX is a fully electric look into the brand's future. With a projected driving range of about 300 miles, the 500-hp 2022 BMW iX is an electric SUV that can seat five in comfort and still manage a run to 60 mph in under 5 seconds, the automaker says. BMW's next generation electric SUV comes only as an AWD, with one electric motor driving the front axle and one driving the rear. They combine for a total of 516 hp. The iX xDrive50's estimated 300-mile range puts it firmly in Tesla Model X and Model Y territory. Unlike the upcoming electric X3, there's nothing subtle about the iX's interior or exterior design. BMW's controversial and enormous new front grille design makes an impression up front, while up top is a panoramic roof that's the largest glass roof ever fitted to a BMW. Inside...
