In general, the launch of the Audi Q5 e-tron has a special significance for the SAIC Audi brand, but because the previous concept model has been spoiled a lot, so the new car did not bring us a particularly stunning feeling after the listing, the car, both in appearance and interior.

From the perspective of the same level of market, audi Q5 e-tron after the listing of the competitors are Mercedes-Benz EQC and BMW iX3, of which the former starting price is close to 500,000 yuan, BMW iX3 although said to have a high degree of overlap, but the car is a typical oil to electricity product, not optimistic about domestic consumers, so in the eyes of the uncle audi Q5 e-tron still has a certain market.
