Although the pace of transformation of traditional car companies in the era of electrification is relatively slow, it is only a matter of time before they catch up with the new forces in car manufacturing with the word-of-mouth, product system, abundant capital and supply chain system accumulated in the era of fuel vehicles. Audi Q4 e-tron is the new pure electric compact SUV launched by the Audi family, with a starting price of less than 300,000 yuan, and the entry-level version of dual-motor four-wheel drive is only 350,000 yuan, which can be described as full of sincerity. So how does the new car perform in terms of everyday practicality? Let's test it today.
Test vehicle: FAW Audi Q4 e-tron 2023 50 e-tron quattro Creation
Official guidance price: 367,100 yuan
1. Functional configuration test
The Audi Q4 e-tron is the same as the new energy model launched by traditional car companies, and the car is still equipped with a one-button start button on the fuel vehicle, which is located on the left side of the gear shift mechanism for convenient operation.
The trunk opening method of the Audi Q4 e-tron supports four methods: interior buttons, external buttons, remote control key and foot sensor electric opening, which greatly improves the convenience of daily use.
The opening switch position of the cabin cover is located at the bottom left of the front of the driver's seat, and when opening, you need to pull the switch in the car once, and then directly lift the cabin cover. The front cabin cover adopts manual support rods, which are less stable and do not conform to the tone of luxury brands.
For consumers, the height of the threshold above the ground determines the convenience of getting on and off to a certain extent. According to the measured results, the threshold height of the 2023 Audi Q4 e-tron is 460mm, which is in the middle and lower reaches of the same class.
Second, comfort configuration test link
In terms of seats, the Audi Q4 e-tron front seat adjustment buttons are located in front of the door handles, which is easy to adjust. At the same time, the front of the test vehicle is equipped with 3-speed seat heating, which can bring consumers a more comfortable driving experience, but is not equipped with ventilation.
In the main driver's seat test, the distance between the front and end of the driver's seat of the 2023 Audi Q4 e-tron is 260mm, which is the average in its class, and the seat adjustment travel is relatively wide, which can meet the needs of the vast majority of drivers.
The multi-function steering wheel supports manual up and down + front and rear adjustment, and the adjustable angle reaches 14.7°, which is the upstream level of the same class; The front and rear adjustable distance is 60mm, and the adjustment distance is at the average level of the class.
The rear seats of the 2023 Audi Q4 e-tron offer three headrests, all of which can be adjusted up and down. It is worth mentioning that the middle headrest area is larger than the side headrests, which is rare in its class, and the internal padding is softer, and the headrest is very comfortable to lean against.
The front center armrest of the 2023 Audi Q4 e-tron is wrapped in soft leather, which feels good to the touch, and the armrest supports up and down + front and rear adjustment, which can give the driver enough support to the elbow during driving, and the practicality is good.
Third, multimedia configuration test
In terms of in-car USB interfaces, the 2023 Audi Q4 e-tron is equipped with two USB Type-C ports in the front and rear seats to meet the power needs of passengers in the car. In addition, we tested the voltage and current of the USB interface, and the voltage of the front/rear USB Type-C interface reached 5V, and the current exceeded 2A, which made charging the mobile device more efficient.
With the increasing popularity of intelligent vehicles, more and more models are equipped with intelligent voice assistants. For the "intelligent voice system", we use the following four fixed speech techniques to judge the performance of the voice interaction system in terms of speech recognition rate, response speed and controllable functions.
1. I'm a little cold/I'm a little hot
2. Open the window/open the main driving window/open the sunroof
3. I want to listen to "XXXX" (song title)
4. I'm going to Lunyang Mansion
After actual measurement, the 2023 Audi Q4 e-tron can only recognize some of the above functions, and the accuracy of speech recognition is low, requiring drivers and passengers to pronounce it very standard. In addition, this voice system has a big gap with the current mainstream new force models, not only can not support multiple command operations, but also does not support sound source positioning, and there is a lot of room for improvement in the future.
Fourth, space configuration test link
As a space test closely related to consumers, in the previous test drive article "Stick to the "I do it" Test drive the 2023 Audi Q4 e-tron", we have already experienced its seating space, and this time we will evaluate the same storage space and its convenience in daily life.
For the test of the space used in the car, only the space within the reach of the front row, excluding the glove box, the central armrest box and other spaces that need to be opened. The test method is to place all the following fixed items in each storage space in the front row, and judge the performance of the vehicle storage space by the placement of the fixed items. The fixed items selected for the test were: 2 bottles of regular-sized mineral water, 1 large-screen mobile phone, 1 lipstick, 1 shoulder bag, 1 pair of sunglasses, 1 folding umbrella and 1 pack of regular-sized paper drawers.
After actual measurement, all the above items can be reasonably placed in the various storage slots in the front row. It is worth mentioning that the front and rear door handles are each designed with an oblique storage slot, which is very suitable and convenient for storing items such as water cups and umbrellas. In addition, the lower part of the gear shift mechanism is hollowed out, and a diagonal mobile phone wireless charging slot with a clip is also set inside, but due to the strange position design, the driver and passengers cannot observe the charging status.
In terms of the trunk, the overall volume of the trunk of the new car is good, and the daily use of the car is not a problem at all. At the same time, separate storage slots are set up on the left and right sides, which can be sorted and placed. After the floor is lifted, there is also a large storage slot at the bottom, and the position is relatively hidden.
For the basic value of the trunk of the Audi Q4 e-tron, we also measured it, and the opening length was 930mm; The opening width is 1100mm; The trunk depth is 910mm; The trunk floor has a vertical height of 670mm from the interior roof.
5. Security configuration test
In the front and rear visibility test of the vehicle, all seats in the car have been adjusted to the lowest state, and the measured data has some deviations from the normal use of the driver, for reference only.
In the test front visibility, we used a 70cm high pile barrel as a reference object, and then adjusted the distance until the upper edge of the pile barrel was visible from the main driver's seat. After testing, the final measured data of the pile barrel and the front end was 2.75m, which was in the middle and upper reaches of the same class of models tested.
In the rear vision test, the pile barrel is still fixed, and then the vehicle is moved until the upper edge of the pile barrel can be observed, and the distance measured by the rear field of view is 10.5m, which is at the upstream level compared to the tested models in the same class, and the rear field of view is good.
When testing the field of view of the exterior mirror, first let the tester stand 10m vertically on the left and right mirrors, and then start to move to the left and right sides until the outermost edge of the rearview mirrors on both sides appears, and measure the lateral distance. The formula then calculates the angle of angle of view of the field of view of the rearview mirror. The larger the angle, the smaller the blind zone of the rearview mirror, and vice versa, the larger the blind zone of the rearview mirror.
The Audi Q4 e-tron has a large left and right exterior mirror area, and the left side mirror has a double curvature lens, so the field of view is very impressive. After the actual measurement, the field of view of the left and right exterior mirrors is 32° and 26° respectively, and daily driving can make good judgments on the road conditions on the left and right sides, and the parallel line is basically pressure-free.
During the test, the reversing radar can sense the rear object at 1.35m, and the radar power performance is considerable. Referring to the previous test experience, the closer the continuous beeping stage is to 0.25m, the closer it is to daily use habits. From the measured data, the continuous beeping prompt distance of the Audi Q4 e-tron reversing radar is consistent with the test experience value, which is in line with the daily usage habits of the vast majority of drivers.
The front parking radar can sense the object in front at a maximum distance of 1.1m, and the maximum distance during the continuous beep phase is 0.3m, which is slightly different from the test experience value.
The Audi Q4 e-tron is equipped with a 360-degree panoramic image system, which has a high resolution and a relatively clear overall picture. At the same time, the image is equipped with a reversing assist line that can follow the steering, which is convenient for the driver to complete actions such as reversing and parking more easily.
In daily use, vehicles often encounter turns or U-turns, and the steering flexibility of the vehicle is very important. Knowing the width of the road surface required when your car turns in place can be done to avoid dangerous situations such as scratching. After actual measurements, the minimum road width of the Audi Q4 e-tron in situ U-turn is 9.9m, which is the average in its class.
The Audi Q4 e-tron has interior handles above all four doors. The handle in the car is necessary for people with reduced mobility, and it can also play a certain role in the safety of passengers on bumpy roads.
6. Charging test
In the actual test, the testers set off from Orson Park at noon, and the cold air of the air conditioning in the car turned on the automatic mode, and the test was carried out in comfort mode at an average speed of 38±2km/h. The driving route is an urban road, and when the vehicle reaches the destination, the number of kilometers shown by the vehicle increases by 7km, the cruising range decreases by 7km, and the average cruising range consumed per 1km traveled is 1km, achieving 1:1, which is quite outstanding.
In addition, we also tested the charging efficiency, and measured that the use of parking lot fast charging piles increased the cruising range from 373km to 389km, and the actual time took 7 minutes, which basically matched the estimated time of the vehicle computer.
Summary: As a new member of the Audi family, the Audi Q4 e-tron continues the ultra-high practicality of Audi's traditional fuel SUV models. The new car not only has more storage space, but also rich comfort and safety configurations, which can meet the daily use of consumers. It is a slight pity that the cabin cover of the new car adopts a manual support rod, which is not in line with the tonality of the luxury brand, and the voice system performance is more crotch-pulling, which needs to be improved in the future. But in general, the overall performance of the Audi Q4 e-tron is still outstanding, and there is currently a large discount margin on the market, interested partners may wish to understand.
