The wave of electrification in the automotive industry is already the trend of the times, and almost all mainstream car brands have joined the ranks of electrification. However, for now, most traditional car brands have performed relatively generally in the field of new energy, especially the three major German luxury brands have not been able to really go to the new energy model.
BMW, Audi, Mercedes-Benz three major Ashkenazi luxury brands have also launched a lot of pure electric models, such as BMW iX3, BMW i4, Mercedes-Benz EQC, EQB, EQA, Audi e-tron, etc. Audi also just listed a new pure electric SUV in February this year: Audi Q5L-e-tron, but this luxury electric SUV new car is still disappointing.
At present, BMW and Mercedes-Benz's pure electric SUV are the so-called "oil to electricity" models, but Audi has taken the lead in adopting the MEB pure electric platform, which has already created Volkswagen's ID series models, and Audi's future pure electric vehicle models will also be built on this platform, and the Audi Q5Le-tron is of course also based on the platform.
Although the Q5L e-tron is based on the MEB pure electric platform, but this car still has the shadow of a fuel car in many aspects, including the naming method is also derived from the Audi Q5L, although the official may hope to use the popularity of the Q5L to increase the sales of the Q5L e-tron, but from the design and other aspects can still see that BBA is still unable to open its hands and feet in creating pure electric vehicles.
In terms of design, the Q5L e-tron still adopts the Design Language of the Audi family, but the e-tron model no longer needs to be airborne, so it adopts a closed grille, while the rear part of the car adopts a new through-line light group, which is relatively more in line with the current design trend. The appearance of the Q5L e-tron still has the shadow of many fuel vehicles, and the sense of technology and futurism is not even like the Volkswagen ID series of doors.
In terms of interior design, Audi has made some changes on the Q5L e-tron, but the changes are still very small, and it has not redesigned a set of interiors because the Q5L e-tron is a pure electric model, the interior layout is generally similar to the new A6L, the central control part is slightly different, the suspension control console and button shift have improved the sense of technology to a certain extent, and also made the vehicle interior more simple.
As a pure electric vehicle, the Q5L e-tron has a relatively good performance in terms of endurance, equipped with an 83.4kWh battery pack, with a cruising range of up to 560 kilometers, compared with mercedes-Benz EQC and BMW iX3 has a more obvious advantage. However, as a pure electric vehicle, the performance of the Q5L e-tron is surprising, the motor has a congenital advantage over the internal combustion engine in terms of acceleration performance, but the entry-level model of the Q5L e-tron takes 9.3 seconds to accelerate 100 kilometers, which is relatively rare in pure electric models.
Because it is based on the same platform, many people think that the Audi Q5L e-tron is a hulled model of the Volkswagen ID.6, and Audi has not carried out all-round quality improvement for the Q5L e-tron because of the improvement of brand value, such as the Volkswagen ID.6 rear brake using drum brakes, and the Q5L e-tron still uses drum brakes, which is rare in luxury brands.
On the other hand, the Audi Q5L e-tron is not owned by FAW-Volkswagen, but is sold by SAIC Volkswagen, which chooses to follow Tesla's direct model and transparent price. Therefore, the Audi Q5L e-tron does not have any preferential margins, and the starting price of 39.55 is not competitive with models such as Mercedes-Benz EQC and BMW iX3.
