Is The Audi Q4 e-tron 55 Quattro a Better Volkswagen ID.4?

From Transport Evolved.

We’ve spent plenty of time behind the wheel of Volkswagen’s various ID.4 models – but to date, we’d never had any seat time with the up-market version of the ID.4 – the Audi Q4 e-tron.

And with Audi’s newest Q6 e-tron just launched (and its Q8 e-tron heading out of production), we’ve finally got some time with the ID.4’s wealthier sibling.

But is it really better because of some up-market trim? Has Audi’s rally heritage come to play to help improve road manners for the MEB platform? Or is it just feeling a little dated?
