While users are still immersed in the new Audi A7L without hatchbacks and without soul, SAIC Audi quickly launched its second car, the Audi Q5 e-tron, a large seven-seat pure electric SUV model with an 83.4kWh battery module and a maximum cruising range of 560 kilometers. So, can such a luxury pure electric SUV impress you?
Maximum range of 560 km
First of all, in terms of battery life, the Audi Q5 e-tron offers two versions of the model, namely the 40 e-tron of the single-motor rear drive and the 50 e-tron of the dual-motor quattro version, which are equipped with 83.4kWh battery modules and a range of 560 kilometers and 520 kilometers, respectively. This endurance performance exceeds the Mercedes-Benz EQB and BMW iX3, and in terms of starting price, the Audi Q5 e-tron is also the lowest.
In terms of battery safety, Q5 e-tron multi-layer structure battery pack based on MEB platform adopts 4-cell design, and after 338 battery pack safety test standards are 6 times that of the country (the national standard is 53 items), covering collision, fire, heat diffusion, high and low temperature storage, temperature shock, salt spray test and other tests, far exceeding international standards, to ensure the safety of battery packs in various extreme working conditions. In addition, the safety of the body design and the tight chassis protection system allow the battery pack to reduce the risk of external shocks.
In addition, the Q5 e-tron also uses heat pump technology to heat up the cockpit in winter, greatly reducing the loss of battery power. At the same time, the thermal management system will also use the waste heat from the vehicle's high-voltage module to heat up the cockpit and battery, which can keep warm in cold weather and improve the efficiency of battery charging.
A wide selection of individual configurations
At present, young people like to pursue personalization, to be different from others, so the Audi Q5 e-tron brings 2 styles, 7 colorful appearance colors, 8 seat interior colors, and a variety of different specifications of the wheel hub, trim and so on to achieve a variety of free design combinations. At the same time, a more personalized Audi Q5 50 e-tron quattro art creation collector's edition was also launched, with a limited exclusive exterior color "Big Holy Red" and an interior color "Red Plume - Qiankun Black".
In addition, the Audi Q5 e-tron comes standard with sports seats and is available in 9 different fabrics/colours, highlighting personality with different seat fabrics and different coloured stitching designs. The upper and lower two layers of 30X30 have a total of 900 colors of ambience lights, creating a dreamy interior atmosphere. With the blessing of 660W B&O audio, it presents a palace-level auditory feast.
In terms of space. The Audi Q5 e-tron is available in 6 or 7 seats, and you can take the whole family on a walk-and-go trip, and the space in the car is not lost to the 7-seat MPV. Versatile seat combinations that can hold all sports gear, including skateboards, snowboards, golf bags and more.
The driving experience of the freewheeling
This test driving experience is mainly focused on a small off-road field, there is no urban road experience, but you can still experience a pure electric car to bring you a different driving experience. First of all, in terms of power performance, the 40 e-tron adopts a rear permanent magnet synchronous single motor. The output is 150 kW and the torque is 310 Nm. The 50 e-tron quattro is equipped with front and rear dual motors electronically controlled quattro. The comprehensive output is 225Kw/460Nm, and the acceleration time from 0-100km/h is 6.7 seconds.
During the rapid acceleration experience, deep on the electric door, the Audi Q5 e-tron will pop out in an instant, and the person will be firmly pressed against the seat, and there will be a brief feeling of vertigo. To be honest, I prefer the shock of the gear shift of the oil car accelerating sharply, but the acceleration of the tram is really quite exciting. When you are the first to be the first in line at the traffic light, the starting point should be the one who will always win at the starting line.
After entering the off-road subject, the Q5 e-tron is equipped with Audi's latest electric quattro technology. Compared with the four-wheel drive technology of fuel vehicles, without the drive shaft and mechanical differential, it responds faster and intervenes in an instant. The electric quattro takes only 30 milliseconds to complete the power distribution of four-wheel drive, and the power distribution is more accurate. When driving in snow and ice, I believe that the performance will be even better.
It is worth mentioning that although it is a very quiet electric vehicle, it is still not relaxed in terms of NVH, and the whole car uses 50 acoustic mute optimizations, using a variety of muting measures such as noise reduction, noise absorption, noise isolation, etc., starting from the three aspects of body design, acoustic package design and abnormal sound control, and comprehensively optimizing the NVH noise.
In addition, the original tires of the Audi Q5 e-tron are designed for luxury cars, not only retain the usual quiet and comfortable advantages of the series, but also add innovative technology - self-repair technology, when the tire tread is pierced by a foreign object with a diameter of no more than 5 mm, the tire can repair the puncture site by itself, bringing the owner a safer driving experience.
Overall, the Audi Q5 e-tron's large space, good dynamics, highly individual interior design and electric quattro impressed. Such a pure electric SUV, in the luxury brand product series, can be regarded as a very good car purchase choice!
