FAW-Audi Q4 e-tron

The space and driving experience are both good. On the first day, I drove to Meishan via Tianfu Avenue, where the speed limit is 80 km/h. The round - trip was about 200 kilometers. The instrument showed an energy consumption of around 12.xx. Basically, it consumed 1% of the battery for every 5 kilometers. Later, I took a drive on the Tianfu Airport Expressway, keeping the speed at 120 km/h all the way. At first, the energy consumption was around 23.xx, and then it gradually dropped to around 19.xx on the instrument. Overall, I'm quite satisfied with the energy consumption.

However, the car's infotainment system is really bad. When I picked up the car, the salesperson tried to log me in to my account but couldn't get it done after a long time. Fortunately, CarPlay was available, which perfectly solved the problem with the infotainment system.

The assisted driving function is quite good. It really helps me relax during the evening rush - hour traffic jams. But when going through intersections without road markings, the car would steer randomly. The first time it happened, I was really startled and almost drove into the flower bed. I quickly grabbed the steering wheel to correct the direction.

Appearance: The Starlight Blue color is really nice. It looks blackish at night, and in the sunlight, it shows both blue and purple hues.
Interior: It has all the basic features. I just don't know where to place the phone holder properly.
Configuration: I took a ready - made car at that time without options. It doesn't have the SONOS sound system and the through - type sequential taillights. I used to drive an Audi with a BO sound system, and the sound system in this car is a bit disappointing. The sequential taillights do look good. I'm considering adding them later.
Space: It's more than enough for me when I drive alone. The car interior can really hold a lot of stuff.
Range: This is the biggest issue. I don't know if other electric cars are similar or if it's just my car that gives me range anxiety. For me, I might need to charge it once a day or every two days. I have an aggressive driving style. I need to drive a bit slower in an electric car; otherwise, the range drops too quickly. The salesperson told me to use the car within the 20% - 80% battery range. It can run about 350 kilometers in this range, which is definitely enough for daily commuting. There's no problem for a 100 - kilometer round - trip to and from work. But I think it's a bit tight for business trips. I'm going to a meeting at the provincial company in a couple of days. Let's see if it can make it from Changzhou to Hefei one - way.
Intelligence: I don't really need many intelligent features. I mainly use CarPlay for navigation and listening to music, so I won't comment more.
Driving experience: The chassis of this car, like Audi's, is as smooth as ever. I don't feel dizzy at all when driving this electric car. It drives really well and is hardly different from a fuel - powered car.

So refreshing, a kind of noble refreshment! I previously drove a Mazda 3, an Odyssey, a BMW, and a Mercedes-Benz for some time. During the test drive phase, I also tried a BYD and a Volkswagen ID4. These can be regarded as the starting point for later comparisons. Electric cars are much better to drive than fuel cars. The power is at your beck and call and the driving is smooth. They are quiet and hardly vibrate. You don't have to go to the gas station to smell the stench. It can be said to be the elegance of technology. People say that once you've driven an electric car, you won't want to go back to a fuel car. I can confirm this from my personal experience. Compared with the stiffness of BMW, the softness of Mercedes-Benz, the lightness of Mazda 3, the tuning of Audi suits my taste. It's agile and solid. The only drawback is that it sways a bit when going over speed bumps. The appearance isÄͿ´ (no exact English equivalent, "pleasing to the eye" roughly), not showy, without too many angular or "trendy" elements. The more you look at it, the more you like it. The interior has clean lines and a simple style with a mechanical feel. It's not flashy and won't cause visual fatigue. The metal trim on the passenger side feels cool and smooth to the touch, which can meet the tactile needs, unexpectedly. The physical buttons are definitely a plus. Beauty should not come at the expense of functionality and safety. The ACC adaptive cruise control function is practical. The car's infotainment system is adequate. Anyway, a car is for driving. All the application functions I've used so far are quite practical, and I can feel the convenience of the new era. You can manually adjust the intensity of kinetic energy recovery through the paddles, which is also highly commendable. You can recover as much energy as you want. The seats have the kind of firmness that I like in German cars. They provide good and comfortable support, and the leather surface feels thick and durable. The space is sufficient, and the back row is comfortable. Audi's charging stations are an absolute pleasant surprise. It's like the fun of staying in a Hilton and watching others come out of a Hanting.
