Frequently asked questions
Is the Audi Q4 e-tron worth the extra £4,445 over the BMW iX2?
The Audi Q4 e-tron costs £4,445 more than the BMW iX2. For that premium it adds 30 kW faster peak rapid charging. The BMW iX2 is not just cheaper - it also offers 44 miles more WLTP range. On EVcarsguide's combined category scores, the BMW iX2 comes out ahead overall.
Which is cheaper to own over 5 years, the Audi Q4 e-tron or the BMW iX2?
The BMW iX2 is £4,445 cheaper to buy. Running costs are almost identical - about £136 a year either way, at 8,000 miles on an off-peak home tariff. Add 5 years of charging and the BMW iX2 comes out roughly £4,565 cheaper overall. These figures cover list price and home charging only - insurance, servicing, tyres and depreciation will move the real total.
What are the Audi Q4 e-tron and BMW iX2 like on a long motorway trip?
EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 229 miles for the Audi Q4 e-tron and 265 miles for the BMW iX2 - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. The BMW iX2 goes roughly 37 miles further between charging stops.
Which is easier to park and drive in town, the Audi Q4 e-tron or the BMW iX2?
The two are within 20 mm on width, so neither is meaningfully easier to thread into a tight space. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 555 mm of total clearance for the BMW iX2 and about 535 mm of total clearance for the Audi Q4 e-tron. The Audi Q4 e-tron also turns in a 1.7 m tighter circle, which helps with U-turns and multi-storey ramps.
Which battery will hold up better as a used buy, the Audi Q4 e-tron or the BMW iX2?
Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 84% battery health for the Audi Q4 e-tron and 84% for the BMW iX2. That is close enough that capacity loss should not decide between them. Both use NMC-type cells, so for daily use keep the charge limit near 80% to slow degradation. Both batteries carry a 8-year manufacturer warranty.
