The Audi Q4 really does ride very well for an electric SUV of this size. At low speeds it absorbs the bumps effectively, with big potholes and drain covers causing audible thuds but much less in the way of physical jolts than you expect when you spot these obstacles coming. At speed it’s smooth and composed over undulations, and on the motorway refinement is top notch. There was hardly any sound from the powertrain, very little tyre noise from the 20-inch wheels, and just a whisper of wind around the mirrors. Mythos black, metallic, £62,500
