Quick summary
Total: 3,599 cars
The 2022 Audi Q4 has an overall defect rate of 72 defects per 100 vehicles, slightly higher than the yearly average of 70 defects per 100. Notably, the model excels in categories such as brakes and steering, where it shows significantly lower defect rates compared to the average. However, it struggles with wheels, suspensions, and axles, which have a higher defect rate than average. Additionally, there is a noticeable increase in defects among vehicles with lower mileage, indicating that early issues may be more prevalent in this model. Overall, while the Q4 has strengths in certain areas, its performance in suspension-related defects suggests room for improvement.
