Nowadays, the automobile market is becoming more and more diversified, and the needs of consumers are becoming more and more diverse, just like the internet buzzword not long ago, "Children make choices, adults all want", which is the best portrayal. This also shows from the side why the popularity of SUV models spreads across the world, because a car can be used multiple times, especially high-end SUVs, which almost cover most of the user's car use scenes, or to say that the disadvantages, it may be less of the smooth sense on the car. Of course, in this regard, Audi also took into account that the Audi e-tron Sportback was born for this purpose, coupled with the future-oriented pure electric drive system, a next-generation all-rounder.
Appearance: Everything can be couped
The Audi e-tron Sportback is similar to the Audi e-tron, and the overall design style has not changed much, only the rear half of the body contour incorporates coupe-style sneak elements. In particular, the low-key body color scheme and the silent driving characteristics of pure electric vehicles, even with S-Line logos, exaggerated sports kits, yellow brake calipers and other sporty details, it is still difficult to get the attention of passers-by. Of course, the recognizable family design style is still easy to see that this is an Audi, but that's about it.
The front face of the Audi e-tron Sportback is still the iconic octagonal shape, and through the design of the shutters to create a closed front grille visual effect, in fact, the middle is retained in the air intake, according to the driving state automatic opening and closing. At the same time, the car is equipped with a digital matrix LED headlight is the world's first car lighting system that can divide the headlight beam into multiple tiny pixels and project it on the road, thus realizing the "car projector" function, which can not only accurately control the lighting range, but also play animation on the road or wall.
In terms of details, the Audi e-tron Sportback is equipped with an S-Line sports kit, and the front and rear bracketing styles are significantly more sporty than the Audi e-tron. At the same time, the unique smooth C-pillar of the coupe-type sneakback body with the design of the short tail makes the visual effect of the vehicle clean and clean, coupled with the tail wing of the ducktail shape, which is very in line with its sporty positioning.
Interior: A strong tech atmosphere
The interior of the Audi e-tron Sportback adopts a layered wrap-around design, and the three-screen layout of the center console and the four-spoke multi-function steering wheel have a strong "Audi technology style". At the same time, the wood grain trim in front of the co-pilot greatly enhances the sense of luxury in the car, and if you don't like it, Audi also provides a variety of trims to choose from.
The multimedia system is still familiar with the look, the upper and lower touch screens support pressing operation, accompanied by vibration feedback, this feel is still the leader in a number of touch screens. At the same time, the system has built-in wireless CarPaly interconnection mapping, supporting automatic connection, and the experience is excellent. In addition, although the test drive was equipped with a 16-speaker B&O sound, the sound performance was not gripping enough.
The air conditioning control touch screen function arrangement is simple and clear, the front row dual zone temperature supports up and down sliding quick adjustment, and can switch the rear air conditioning control panel with one click. At the same time, behind the front central armrest, the rear passengers are equipped with an independent air-conditioning control panel to ensure that every passenger in the car can adjust to their own temperature.
Comfort features such as open panoramic sunroof, electric front seat adjustment/heating/ventilation, main driver's seat memory, and rear seat heating have become standard in most models in this class, and the Audi e-tron Sportback is no exception. The blessing of a large number of comfort functions makes it possible to bring a comfortable riding experience to the people in the car no matter what kind of car use scene. It is worth mentioning that the front central armrest intimately provides the upper and lower + front and rear four-way adjustment function, don't look at the simple function, but this configuration is not common in the same level of models.
Motivation: The faster the more stable
The Audi e-tron Sportback is based on meB's pure electric modular platform, equipped with electric motors in the front/rear axles, with a combined maximum power of 300 kW, a combined peak torque of 664 N·m, and an acceleration of only 5.7 seconds per 100 km/h. In terms of energy storage, it is equipped with a lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 95 kWh and a NEDC cruising range of 500 km.
The Audi e-tron Sportback's powertrain is well stocked, and the powerful torque combined with the electric motor power characteristics will not appear to drive without the stupidity common to large SUVs. If you accelerate at full throttle in S gear, the boost mode is activated instantly, at which point the body will be pushed with a maximum torque of 664N·m, and the violent and continuous acceleration will even produce a sense of vertigo, which is very addictive.
At the same time, the braking system is not simple, the Audi e-tron Sportback is equipped with a hybrid braking system, which is composed of kinetic energy recovery + mechanical braking. The working principle is actually very simple, when the braking force is less than 0.3G, the kinetic energy recovery system brakes, and when the braking force exceeds 0.3G, the mechanical brake starts the work. The hybrid braking system automatically adjusts the braking force of kinetic energy recovery and the working state of mechanical braking according to the current working conditions and braking needs. In fact, in the braking process can also slightly feel the difference between the two, as the brake pedal opening gradually becomes larger, the braking force is significantly enhanced, the sense of passage is still easy to detect.
The Audi e-tron Sportback comes standard with an air suspension system with a default ground clearance of 172mm, and ground clearance of 146mm and 207mm in high-speed and off-road modes to cope with different road conditions. The front/rear multi-link independent suspension can effectively filter the road bumps, the overall comfort tuning style plus the heavier body weight, at low speeds, although the bump feedback is smaller than the Audi fuel car, but the lateral swing is more.
However, as the speed increased, the Audi e-tron Sportback gradually found a feeling, especially for the long vibration of the undulating road, the tight suspension can hold the body tightly, even if it passes quickly, it will not produce a sense of throwing and aftershocks. The large bumps such as the deceleration barrier are faster and smaller the amplitude, and you can still feel the typical driving texture of a German car.
In addition, the large body and the tuning style of comfort will give people the first impression of not being good at sports, but as the contact time increases, it is not difficult to find that the Audi e-tron Sportback has not given up the pursuit of handling. When quickly entering the corner, the roll suppression is just right, and there is no collapse. At the same time, with the blessing of the electric four-wheel drive system, the push head phenomenon is well suppressed, and with its excellent acceleration performance, it is not difficult to drive this "behemoth" to experience the appropriate driving pleasure.
Space: The rear head is slightly cramped
The 182cm tall experiencer sat in the front row with more than two punches in the head space. In terms of storage space, the storage slot has a large volume, and the storage slot on the left side of the front cup holder is equipped with an increased wireless charging device, which greatly improves the space utilization.
Keeping the front seats unchanged, the experiencer came to the rear seat, although the rear roof was hollowed out, but it was still affected by the slipback shape, the head space was only one punch, and the legroom remained two punches. In terms of storage space, the rear central armrest is equipped with a mechanical cup holder and a large storage slot with a flannel substrate inside, making it easy for passengers to place their personal belongings such as mobile phones.
The interior of the trunk is regular, the space utilization rate is high, the trunk volume is 615L under normal conditions, the rear seats support 4/2/4 ratio reclining, and the rear seat backrest and the trunk floor platform after the fallen can be kept almost completely flat, and the volume can be extended to 1740L. In addition, the Audi e-tron Sportback, like the Audi e-tron, is equipped with a front load compartment, which further improves the storage capacity.
Security: Active/passive safety is fully configured
In addition to a comprehensive passive safety configuration, the Audi e-tron Sportback offers a wealth of active safety features such as parallel assist, lane departure warning, active braking and fatigue driving tips. However, compared with the FAW-Volkswagen Audi e-tron, functions such as lane keeping assistance and road traffic sign recognition are not standard, nor do they support optional installation, which is a pity.
