A blank cell below means we don't have that figure, not that the car scores badly on it. We leave them empty rather than estimate, so any row where one car is blank isn't a like-for-like comparison yet.

The BMW X2 starts $12,100 lower on RRP.
The Audi Q4 e-tron currently qualifies for the electric-vehicle FBT exemption, which applies to novated leases. The BMW X2 does not: only battery-electric vehicles qualify.
Matching the Audi Q4 e-tron's standard equipment means adding extra-cost options to the BMW X2, and one is priced only inside a package whose price the manufacturer doesn't publish, so the true gap is larger than the sticker difference suggests.
On-road costs (stamp duty, registration, CTP and dealer delivery) depend on your state and the dealer; ask for a written drive-away price before you sign.

Estimates from usable battery size and the car's max charge rates (11kW AC, 175kW DC). Real times vary with temperature, starting charge, charger output and the charging curve.
Feature Showdown
The Audi Q4 e-tron features a 11.6-inch touchscreen paired with a 10.3-inch digital dash, while the BMW X2 gets a 10.7-inch display and 10.3-inch instruments. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard across both.
The Audi Q4 e-tron stands out with Bang & Olufsen audio and ambient lighting — features our data doesn't list for the BMW X2. The BMW X2 counters with head-up display, wireless charging and heated front seats. Which feature set matters more depends on your daily routine and priorities.
Interior trim differs: the Audi Q4 e-tron gets synthetic leather upholstery while the BMW X2 offers veganza (synthetic). Climate control is 3-zone in the Audi Q4 e-tron and 2-zone in the BMW X2.
Equipment few rivals have, on either carShowHide
Drivetrain
The Audi Q4 e-tron uses a Electric producing 210kW and 545Nm of torque, sent through a single-speed (two-stage planetary) to a RWD layout. It covers the 0-100km/h sprint in 6.7 seconds.
The BMW X2 responds with a Petrol making 125kW and 280Nm, paired to a 7-speed automatic (steptronic with gearshift paddles) driving the front wheels. It gets to 100km/h in 8.3 seconds.
The Audi Q4 e-tron has the clear power advantage at 210kW vs 125kW. In the 0-100 sprint (manufacturer-claimed), the Audi Q4 e-tron is 1.6s quicker. For most buyers, the way each car feels day-to-day matters more than outright acceleration.
Space & Comfort
The Audi Q4 e-tron measures 4,588mm long on a 2,764mm wheelbase, 34mm longer than the BMW X2 at 4,554mm (2,692mm wheelbase). The longer wheelbase on the Audi Q4 e-tron generally means more rear legroom.
Boot space is 520L in the Audi Q4 e-tron and 515L in the BMW X2, giving the Audi Q4 e-tron a 5L advantage.
For towing, the BMW X2 leads with a 1,800kg braked capacity vs 1,000kg. That 800kg difference matters if you regularly hitch up.
The Audi Q4 e-tron turns in a 11.2 m circle, kerb to kerb; the BMW X2's turning circle is not on our record.
Cost to own
We do not hold a like-for-like fuel or energy figure for both cars, so we do not cost them against each other.
Warranty: 5 years / Unlimited (Audi Q4 e-tron) and 5 years / Unlimited (BMW X2).
Where each one leads
The Audi Q4 e-tron: more power (210kW against 125kW) and the bigger boot with the seats up (520L against 515L).
The BMW X2: the lower starting price ($72,800 against $84,900) and the higher braked towing limit (1,800kg against 1,000kg).
The Verdict
Audi Q4 e-tron scores higher, 74 vs 60
The Audi Q4 e-tron scores 74 to the BMW X2's 60 on the CarSorted Score, and leads 3 of the 5 spec rows that separate them. The biggest gaps: safety (Audi Q4 e-tron ahead by 25 points), performance (Audi Q4 e-tron ahead by 19 points).

How to read this page. Prices, specifications, ANCAP ratings, warranty, the CarSorted Score and the verdict come from our records for the grades shown, sourced from the manufacturers' Australian documents, and change when those records change; the date each was last checked is printed under the headline. Prices are recommended retail prices before on-road costs unless marked drive-away. A plug-in hybrid's fuel figure is labelled with its basis: with a full battery (the certified combined figure) or as a hybrid (battery depleted). Charging and running costs are estimates on the stated assumptions. Always confirm price and specification with the manufacturer or dealer before you buy. CarSorted does not accept payment for recommendations.
