Only One EV Can Win!
While Tesla has been a big name in the EV world for some time, it's not the only brand producing electric vehicles. More and more car brands, including Audi, are joining in on the EV movement. Today, we will compare the 2022 Audi Q4 e-tron and the 2023 Tesla Model Y to see which electric vehicle is the better option. Let's get into it!
Style
Regarding style, the 2022 Audi Q4 50 e-tron takes the cake. Its design is modern and elegant, while the Tesla Model Y features an outdated and bulky appearance. Drivers even have the option to personalize their Q4, as Audi offers a range of options for exterior color and wheel design. Some may argue not to judge a book by its cover, but the more impressive appearance hints at an overall more impressive vehicle.
Tech
While many may view the Tesla brand as innovative, it needs to catch up in certain areas. For example, the Tesla Model Y lacks Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The Audi, of course, provides these features. In addition, the setup of Audi's infotainment system is also cleaner, while Tesla's feels cluttered.
Safety
The Audi features various standard safety features, including parking sensors, forward-collision warning and obstacle avoidance, lane-departure warning, rear cross-traffic alerts, and blind-spot warning. While Tesla offers some of the same features, it does not have cross-traffic alerts or parking assistance.
Drive
The Tesla doesn't handle very smoothly on bumpy roads, which also makes it noisy. The streets aren't always going to be freshly paved, and if you want a vehicle that can handle uneven streets, go with the Audi. The Audi also has better handling than the Tesla, which can struggle with control. If you're after a pleasant and comfortable ride, the Audi is what you're looking for.
Cost
The Audi outshines the Tesla in style, tech, safety, and drive; the price point is also better. The Model Y starts at $65,990, while the Audi begins at a much lower price of $48,800. So with the Audi, you get more for less.
The Q4 is the better option between these two electric models. If you are interested in a Q4, or another Audi vehicle, reach out to us today or schedule a test drive at Bell Audi.
