Review Time
As someone who was with Tariq throughout this process, I was shocked by the way Open Road Audi of Manhattan treated us. We visited on October 1 and October 18, 2025, excited to purchase a new 2025 Audi SQ5. Tariq was financially qualified and prepared to pay in full, but we were pressured for large wire transfers before even seeing pricing or financing terms.Sales representative Romani Oniani insisted on a credit check before a test drive. Steven Rubinchik never facilitated a proper finance discussion. John Palanca abandoned us for hours during what was supposed to be a signing appointment. And one representative — calling himself “Roger” — told us to “shop in Huntington” after seeing a ZIP code, which felt blatantly discriminatory.I had always associated Audi with professionalism and premium service. This experience was humiliating and deeply disappointing. I hope Audi Corporate investigates and holds this dealership accountable.
I was helped by a lady called Yolela from Customer Service and I have nothing but good things to say about the experience. She asked for some details and said she would call back in 30 Mins to confirm it had been received. I received a call as promised and had been emailed all the relevant info.Really happy with the service
Audi Q4 e-tron 45 Sportback 2025 – ReviewIntroductionThe Audi Q4 e-tron 45 Sportback enters a competitive segment of premium electric SUVs, promising distinctive design, refined comfort, and modern practicality. After months of real-world use across urban routes, long motorway journeys, and varied weather conditions, this review offers a balanced yet candid evaluation of its design, performance, and overall ownership experience.Exterior DesignFrom the outside, the Q4 e-tron Sportback stands out with a bold and assertive aesthetic.Aggressive front look: The sharp grille design and sculpted body lines give it a sporty, confident presence.Ground clearance: The elevated stance is genuinely practical for everyday UK driving—handling speed bumps, uneven roads, and rural surfaces with ease.Overall, the exterior styling is one of the car’s strongest attributes.Interior & ComfortDespite its premium branding, the interior layout falls short in several important areas.Fixed Gear Console DesignThe most frustrating interior feature is the oversized fixed gear console, which creates several issues:It occupies nearly all the usable storage space beneath it.The arrangement of buttons and controls is ergonomically inconvenient, often requiring awkward hand positioning while driving.The wireless phone charger placement is particularly ill-conceived. It sits vertically in a recess where you cannot see the phone screen during charging, making it both impractical and counterintuitive.Other Interior NotesComfortable seating: Both front and rear seats offer good support and ample legroom, even for taller occupants.Rear-view camera: The camera quality is noticeably poor and deteriorates further in rainy conditions, reducing visibility and driver confidence.Overall, the interior design feels inconsistent with what one would expect from a modern Audi.Performance & HandlingAcceleration: The Q4 e-tron 45 delivers reasonable acceleration—adequate for city driving and motorway overtakes, though not especially thrilling.Handling: In narrow streets and tight spaces, the vehicle performs well, offering predictable steering and ease of manoeuvring.However, wet-road stability is a concern. The vehicle tends to slip on wet surfaces despite its 20-inch wheels, raising questions about overall traction and tyre-platform dynamics.Efficiency & ChargingThis aspect of ownership is where the Q4 e-tron Sportback struggles the most.Unreliable real-world range: The actual mileage frequently falls short of the advertised figures. Weather, speed, gradients, and traffic have a significant impact on range.80% charging limit: The default battery setting restricts usable capacity from the outset.High rapid-charging costs: Fast chargers on motorways often cost more per mile than petrol or diesel, making long-distance trips unexpectedly expensive.Range anxiety: Because battery behaviour is unpredictable, long journeys often involve constant monitoring and concern about reaching the next charger.In reality, the manufacturer’s mileage claims are rarely achievable under typical conditions.SummaryProsAggressive, sporty exteriorGood ground clearanceComfortable seats with generous legroomReasonable accelerationExcellent maneuverability in narrow or urban environmentsConsPoor interior ergonomics due to oversized gear consoleImpractically positioned wireless phone chargerSubpar rear-camera quality, especially in rainWeak road grip on wet surfacesUnreliable real-world range performanceHigher-than-expected charging costs on long journeysOngoing range anxiety due to inconsistent efficiencyConclusionThe Audi Q4 e-tron 45 Sportback offers striking looks and a comfortable ride, but its limitations—particularly the impractical interior layout, inconsistent efficiency, and wet-weather handling—significantly affect everyday usability. While it performs well in urban settings, long-distance travel can be unexpectedly costly, stressful, and unpredictable.Personally, I feel fortunate to have the vehicle only on a three-year lease, and I am already looking forward to transitioning to a more reliable and predictable EV once the contract ends.
Why do people buy this BMW and Mercedes, when it’s an Audi? Imho the most underrated car brand with mentioned strength of their main competitors: speed and comfort. Just look at quattro technology and try to drive it. You will the difference.About problems in engines… I bought it from an official dealer and had a mileage of 100k without any big repairs. If you have a warranty no p1roblems. 5/5
I couldn’t recommend Aiden from Stockport Audi enough. He made the whole car buying process super easy and stress-free. No pressure at all, just honest help and great advice. From the start he listened to what I was looking for and helped me find the perfect car. Couldn’t be happier and would recommend to anyone I know!
I would just like to say a massive thank you to Gurdeep at Leicester Audi.. the service from start to finish was so simple stress free and easy, gurdeep kept me updated throughout the whole process, he also managed to get the car from Germany to the uk with a 10 day turn around.. he really did go above and beyond he really is a credit to your team! He was so supportive and really went the extra mile to get the car for me. I would like to say if anyone ever needs a car go to Gurdeep he is the main plug, and really does get the best spec of cars for you! I am not one to be speechless but when I seen my brand new 75 plate I really was for the first time! Thank you again soo much.
