FAW-Audi Q6L e-tron

[Most Dissatisfied] Although the Huawei Qiankun Intelligent Driving System installed in the Audi Q6L e-tron has rich hardware, even when the following distance is adjusted to the closest, it is still greater than the normal vehicle distance during urban driving, making it easy for other vehicles to cut in, which affects the traffic efficiency. Although the in-vehicle infotainment system and intelligent configurations have been improved, it's highly likely that the intelligent driving system won't be standard across all models, which may affect the experience of some users. Although the privacy mode of the front passenger screen is designed, it is essentially achieved through screen state switching, and its function is not irreplaceable. In addition, as a model customized for the Chinese market, it lacks aggressiveness in the intelligent driving system and is generally conservative, which may not meet the expectations of users who pursue high - level intelligent interaction.
[Driving Experience] The Audi Q6L e-tron focuses on preventing car sickness for drivers and passengers. It strictly controls torque fluctuations to reduce jerks, the shock absorbers are tuned to balance sportiness and comfort, and the tires have been optimized through multiple rounds of screening. It comes standard with a multi - level energy recovery system to reduce discomfort caused by deceleration. The sports seats have moderate hardness to reduce body swaying. The front and rear five - link suspensions, FSD frequency - selective shock absorbers, ultra - wide rear tires, and a 35 - meter braking distance ensure driving stability. The progressive steering with variable steering ratio makes the vehicle more flexible at low speeds (only 1.2 turns to full lock) and stable at high speeds, and it's easier to get used to than the steer - by - wire system. The 800V high - voltage platform has high energy replenishment efficiency, taking only 20 minutes to charge from 10% to 80%. Overall, the driving experience combines comfort and handling.

[Most Satisfied] The chassis suspension uses a large amount of aluminum alloy materials. The overall material usage is still quite good. But considering its pricing, I think this is just an average level. Apart from the materials, the overall flatness of the chassis is also very good.
In addition, the pedal feel of the accelerator is very good. There's no feeling of a half - second delay when you step on it. It responds immediately. The feedback from different driving modes is also different (it is recommended not to use the B gear). The overall shock absorption and NVH levels are quite good. Compared with the gasoline - powered Audi Q6 within the same brand, this electric Q6 meets the standard that an Audi should have.

[Least Satisfied] With a 205KW rear - motor and an acceleration time of over 6 seconds, well, after experiencing domestic electric vehicles that can easily achieve acceleration times of 3 - 4 seconds, this really doesn't excite me at all. At the same price range, domestic vehicles usually start with a 300KW motor, and their acceleration times are basically approaching 4 seconds.
Another thing is that it doesn't have CDC, which is actually understandable. Here, I can only say that I hope domestic manufacturers can be more competitive and put more pressure on these joint - venture electric vehicles.

In summary, this is a joint - venture electric vehicle with a family - oriented tuning. It is a very typical and representative model, which also reflects the general development direction of current joint - venture electric vehicles. If you just need a car for family use, buying an electric Q6 won't give you any problems. It can offer performance that matches its price.
Although the handling is not extreme, it is more than enough. During daily driving, whether you're turning or making a U - turn, there's no "boat - like" feeling. The logic of the accelerator pedal and the calibration of CRBS are both excellent, and the performance of the chassis can be described as extremely stable.
However, you can also clearly feel the strict hierarchy in joint - venture electric vehicles.

?? Test Drive Information
I test-drove the Pilot Edition with Huawei's intelligent driving system. The salesperson first demonstrated the intelligent driving function, and then I took over the wheel, driving on the suburban expressway and bumpy roads.

?? Driving Experience
1. I mainly tested the differences among the three modes: Balance, Dynamic, and Comfort. In this SUV, the Dynamic mode makes the car very jumpy. A light tap on the accelerator can easily make the car jerk. In heavy city traffic, it can make you feel dizzy. The Balance mode is not much different from the Comfort mode, but the steering wheel is a bit heavier.
2. I think the Comfort mode is the easiest to drive in this car. The gentle start prevents the front of the car from lifting. After the car starts moving, the power connection when pressing the accelerator is fast enough, and the power is also sufficient. It can easily accelerate beyond 90 km/h.
3. The Q6L is equipped with a steer-by-wire system. When driving in the city, it only takes a little over one full turn of the steering wheel, so a slight turn can result in a relatively large steering angle. It's very flexible to turn the wheel with one hand, especially when making a U-turn. You can even make a U-turn with one hand, which is extremely convenient.
4. I find the brakes a bit tricky. A light press feels a bit soft, but a harder press results in a large braking force. I'm not very used to it and often press the brakes too hard.
5. The chassis has typical Audi characteristics. It's very tight, yet retains the heft of an electric vehicle. When driving below 35 km/h over manhole covers, it still feels a bit soft. Due to the high center of gravity, it sways a bit when going over speed bumps. However, when the speed exceeds 40 km/h, the chassis becomes significantly tighter, and the bouncing sensation becomes more prominent. It's clear that it's essentially an Audi sports - handling chassis, but the heaviness makes it feel soft at low speeds.
6. The sound insulation is okay. The main issue is tire noise. At around 40 km/h, the tire noise is a bit loud, but it doesn't affect conversations. You can clearly hear the ambient sound. However, the wind noise at high speeds is not obvious. When driving at 80 km/h on the expressway, I still feel that the communication in the cockpit is quite good. Adding some music can cover up the tire noise.
7. The AR - HUD is very impressive. It can identify when I'm crossing the lane line and highlight it in red. It can also display lyrics, and there are animations when the speed limit changes. Coupled with various AR steering arrows, the display effect is really good.

?? Assisted Driving
1. The salesperson took me for a ride using the intelligent driving system. The road conditions were not very complicated and the traffic was smooth. When changing lanes, it simply signaled and changed lanes without hesitation. The U - turn was also very smooth. It could identify dashed lines for U - turns. However, even when making a U - turn, the dashboard still showed a straight line, which indicates that the intelligence of the in - car system is quite average.
2. It's quite safe. Whenever it approaches a zebra - crossing, it will ease off the accelerator first and then accelerate after passing it, which is quite stable. However, when going through traffic lights, it behaves oddly. It starts, then slightly decelerates when passing the zebra - crossing, accelerates to the opposite zebra - crossing, and then eases off again.
3. There is a problem. When stopping at a red light, it's a bit sluggish. It reaches the stop line early but doesn't stop immediately. It keeps moving at 1 or 2 km/h before finally stopping.

?? Cockpit Experience
1. The interior division of the Audi Q6L this time is really well - done. However, I think the co - pilot screen is a bit redundant. It seems to be added just to meet the market demand. I think it would be better to have either a triple - screen or a dual - screen setup. This dual - screen + single - screen combination is a bit disjointed. But the car's interior is nice. The soft padding is very comfortable, and the surrounding ambient lights on the front console are quite cool. However, instead of diffused reflection, they are thin strips, which I think might be glare at night.
2. The place on the front of the console for placing the phone is recessed and too far away. Sometimes it's difficult to pick up the phone when waiting at a red light. I think a phone holder is necessary.
3. The in - car system is intelligent, but the interaction is quite ordinary, just like traditional in - car systems. Both the interaction and applications are okay. The good thing is that it has CarPlay, and the main music app is Kuwo. To be honest, this in - car system isn't very fun. It's mainly used for navigation and listening to music.
4. The seats are very thick. What I like most is the manual leg rest of Audi. I'm 180 cm tall, and many seats are too short for me. But the manual leg rest of the Q6L solves this problem, which is very friendly to tall people.
5. The interior space is very large. Although the rear floor has a slight bulge, it doesn't affect the seating experience. There is more than two - fist space for the legs in the rear, and at least four - finger space above the head. It can comfortably seat three adults. The trunk is also large enough, but the floor is a bit high. It can easily accommodate the luggage for a five - person trip.
