Every Q4 e-tron model year from 2022 to 2025, scored on reported failures weighted against how many were sold — and ranked against every other Mid-Size SUV of the same year.
Across 4 scored model years the Q4 e-tron needs fixing more often than its class, but when it does, repairs cost about what you would expect. The spread between years is what matters: 2024 is its strongest, 2025 its weakest.
Longer bar is better. Rank is against every Mid-Size SUV sold that same model year.

All 12 systems, measured against the class average for each model year.
Every Q4 e-tron model year is scored across 12 separate systems — engine, transmission, brakes, electrical, steering and suspension, structure, interior, and five more. Each system is compared against how often that same system fails on the average Mid-Size SUV of the same year, so a common failure is judged against how common it is everywhere else.
Across the last three model years (2023–2025), the trouble concentrates in one place: electrical & electronics. That system draws issue reports more often than the same system on the average Mid-Size SUV of its year — which changes what you should be inspecting before you buy.
