There is no doubt that with the rise of the domestic pure electric vehicle market, more and more brands have joined the new energy camp, especially the strong rise of some new power brands, which has attracted many young consumers who want to buy high-priced pure electric vehicles. However, new brands such as Weilai , Xpeng or Ideal have taken the mid-to-high-end route for their first models, but the quality has not reached the level that they should position themselves for. So at this time we also need to pay attention to traditional car companies. For example, Audi this year launched the first pure electric SUV based on the MEB platform - Q5 e-tron.

As the second model of the SAIC Audi brand, the Q5 e-tron sounds like its name is somewhat related to the Q5L. However, from the perspective of positioning, the Q5 e-tron is a medium-to-large SUV, which is obviously one level higher than the Q5L. The Mercedes-Benz EQC and BMW iX3 that have been launched before are also positioned as medium-sized SUVs. However, from the price point of view, there is no sense of inflation of the Q5 e-tron. The guide price range of 376,500-479,500 yuan should be the lowest in its class. Even the starting price of the Mercedes-Benz EQC is more expensive than the top version of the Q5 e-tron, including the Tesla Model Y. It is difficult to gain any price advantage.

From a design perspective, the SAIC Audi Q5 e-tron, as a brand new model of the brand and the first luxury pure electric SUV based on the MEB platform, naturally adopts the latest family language. The first is the front face. Thanks to the latest design ideas, while retaining the original characteristics of the Audi brand, it also brings many surprises. For example, the interior of the hexagonal air intake grille is closed, and the headlights with matrix LED light sources on both sides also have personalized customized LED daytime running lights . It has both a sense of fashion and technology, and is more advanced than many competing products such as Model Y.

As a luxury medium and large SUV, the size of the Q5 e-tron is also quite interesting. Judging from the specific data, the length, width and height of 4876*1860*1675mm and the wheelbase of 2965mm naturally meet the 6/7-seater layout. It can also make the body look quite coordinated and slender. The large-size densely spoke wheels can also bring an excellent sense of sportiness. As for the tail, the biggest highlight is the through-design taillight group, which can also bring high recognition when using OLED light sources. At least in terms of playing with lights, Audi is qualified to be a benchmark.

Next is the interior of the car. SAIC Audi has prepared a new interior layout for the Q5e-tron. Overall, it is relatively neat. The center console is slightly tilted to the driver's side, which can also bring higher practicality. The 10.25-inch full LCD instrument, 11.6-inch embedded central control screen and AR-HUD head-up display system can also well meet consumers' requirements for smart cockpits. There are no problems in terms of workmanship and materials. At least they are better than Model Y.

Finally, there is dynamic performance. After all, the Q5 e-tron is a high-end pure electric SUV, especially as it is positioned as a medium to large SUV, it needs sufficient and excellent power. Judging from the currently provided motor version, the dual-motor four-wheel drive version has brought a sufficiently good acceleration experience. The dual motors can bring a combined power of 306 horsepower and a maximum torque of 460 Nm. The official acceleration from 0 to 100 kilometers is 6.7 seconds, and the actual measured results are basically within 6.5 seconds. Of course, there is also battery life. Even the four-wheel drive version can reach 520km under CLTC operating conditions, while many luxury competing products such as Mercedes-Benz EQC and BMW iX3 are not qualified.

Summary: Perhaps before the launch of the SAIC Audi Q5 e-tron, no one would have thought that 400,000 yuan could buy a luxury mid-to-large pure electric SUV. But now that there is this option, I think you don’t need to worry anymore, because the Q5 e-tron is the best choice.
