I was initially looking to order the BMW i4 as the Audi Q4 40 lacks power but when speaking to Audi dealer in the last few weeks and being informed that the Q40 is being replaced by the Q45 and that there will be a substantial increase in power, I’ve been waiting to see what happens. on October 1st the new price list was released. The BMW i4 advanced payment has increased by £500 but the Audi Q4 40 has decreased by £1500 Audi dealer has confirmed that the Q4 40 is not available to order. I spoke with Audi dealer and Motability last week and both confirmed the same that within 2 weeks the Audi Q4 45 new model will be listed on Motability and that between them they are working out the advanced payment of it. It’s clear to see that the remaining Audi Q4 40 are being offloaded to Motability etc. The New model Q4 45 has leather as standard and comes with lumbar support along with the up rated engine, shocks and a few other tweeks like advanced battery make the new model Audi Q4 45 very appealing to me so I’m holding out for the Q4 45 to be released on Motability which I hope will be concluded soon in the next 2 weeks
Thank you for clarifying this Tam. Others have been saying that by ordering a 40 they will automatically get the 45 and I was sceptical about this as, unfortunately, that’s not how Motability do things. The 45 model would have a different order number than the 40 and, possibly, a different AP. What you have been told by Motability confirms this. Anyway, the good news is that the 45 looks like it might be coming on to the scheme, which will be good news. If the S-Line model comes on then I might even take a look at it myself!
