Verdict
SUV électrique familial au coffre de 520 litres, noté 5 étoiles à Euro NCAP en 2021. Trois rappels de sécurité sont documentés (airbag 2023, stabilité électronique 2024, ceinture 2025) : demandez la preuve qu'ils ont été traités. Certains propriétaires rapportent des défauts électroniques et de charge, et CarVerif conseille un contrôle d'achat plus électrique que cosmétique.

You are importing the car to:
Import penalty (malus) in France
- The CO₂ malus follows the scale of the year the vehicle was first registered, in France or abroad (WLTP or NEDC scale depending on its registration certificate).
- For an imported used car, it is reduced by a flat-rate discount based on its age in months (scheme in force since 1 March 2025). The weight malus also applies on first registration in France.
- The malus is zero for a car more than fifteen years old or first registered before 1 January 2015.

Known faults
No fault publicly documented so far, so reliability is not rated. This is no guarantee: have the car checked all the more carefully before buying.
Manufacturer recalls
Manufacturer recall campaigns, fixed free of charge at a dealer:
- Unité de stabilisation électronique : rappel 2024 (45 e-tron 285)
- Unité de commande d'airbag : rappel 2023 (40 e-tron 204, 45 e-tron 265 quattro)

See the official list on RappelConso (new tab) (French government recall site: category “Automobiles et moyens de déplacement”, search “Audi Q4 e-tron”). A dealer for the brand can also check, using the vehicle identification number (VIN), that recalls have been carried out.
Recalls published in France (RappelConso)
- 10 April 2026 — La barre de torsion est défectueuse et peut facilement se casser, conduisant la courroie à se dérouler de manière incontrôlable en cas d'accident. L'effet protecteur de la ceinture de sécurité ne serait donc plus assuré, ce qui peut entraîner des blessures. Official notice
- 10 June 2025 — Le moteur de pompe de l’unité de commande de stabilisation électronique peut manquer jusqu’aux trois vis. Cela peut conduire au détachement du moteur de la pompe et peut causer une panne de frein hydraulique, augmentant le risque d’accidents et de blessures. Official notice
- 21 July 2023 — L’unité de commande de l’airbag peut être défectueuse, dans certains cas sans que le voyant d’avertissement de coussin gonflable ne soit activé. Les airbags peuvent ne pas s’activer en cas d’accident. Official notice

Inspection checklist
Audi Q4 e-tron I — inspection checklist
Things to check
- Faire vérifier chez Audi, avec le numéro de série, les rappels airbag (2023), stabilité électronique (2024) et ceinture (2025).
- Demander un test de l'état de santé de la batterie et l'historique des recharges rapides.
- Tester la recharge sur une borne rapide et sur une prise domestique : plusieurs propriétaires signalent des problèmes de charge.
- Vérifier que tous les voyants et les écrans sont normaux et que les mises à jour logicielles ont été faites.
- Contrôler la peinture et les freins : des propriétaires signalent une peinture fragile et des soucis de freinage.
Questions to ask the seller
- Les rappels airbag, stabilité électronique et ceinture ont-ils été effectués ? Avez-vous les attestations ?
- Quelle est la capacité résiduelle de la batterie et quelle part des recharges s'est faite en rapide ?
- Le logiciel a-t-il été mis à jour, et des défauts de charge ou de voyants sont-ils déjà apparus ?
Test-drive tip: read the fault codes
A warning light that is off proves nothing: a fault may have been cleared just before the viewing. A Bluetooth OBD2 scanner, plugged in under the steering wheel and read on your phone, shows stored codes and whether all emissions readiness tests have run since the last reset.
