Through market competition in recent years, more and more foreign brands have begun to realize that domestic Chinese brands are already far ahead in terms of technology and value. And since they can't outclass Chinese EVs, might as well join them!

This is why even a first-tier luxury brand like Audi has now started collaborating with the Chinese tech giant Huawei.

The Audi Q6L e-tron will be the first product of that collaboration, jointly developed by FAW-Audi and Huawei and built on Audi’s PPE luxury pure electric platform. The Q6L has already started pre-sales.

The Audi Q6L e-tron continues Audi's electric family design language, featuring sharp lines, various splicing elements, and dot-matrix accents.

The front features a split headlight design with a combination of matrix LED headlights and digital LED daytime running lights, supporting 8 modes of lighting animation and coupled with a logo with light diffused effect.

The Q6L’s profile is fairly standard for an SUV with a long wheelbase and short front and rear overhangs, combined with simple and dynamic body lines with the semi-hidden door handles and low-drag wheels.

At the rear, the Audi Q6L e-tron is sleek and full-bodied, with a spoiler at the top and a through-type taillight cluster in the middle. The taillights can also display symbols and graphics like warning triangles, thanks to six built-in OLED panels.

The interior of the Audi Q6L e-tron is unlike any traditional Audi interiors. The center console is equipped with an 11.9-inch LCD instrument cluster, a 14.5-inch central control screen, and a 10.9-inch passenger entertainment screen.

Coupled with the new-style three-spoke sports steering wheel and sports seats, it creates a very high-tech and sporty driving atmosphere.

The Audi Q6L e-tron can also be optionally equipped with an 88-inch AR-HUD to further enhance the driver's technological experience.

As for the in-car system, the Audi Q6L e-tron has been upgraded with a new MMI system, supporting multi-screen interaction, continuous dialogue, fuzzy semantics, and a rich app ecosystem, gaming, conferencing, and other functions, providing a smart and convenient user experience.

Of course, the main highlight of the car's smart features is undoubtedly its integration of Huawei's Qiankun intelligent assisted driving system.

With hardware support including dual LiDARs, 13 high-definition cameras, 12 ultrasonic radars, and 5 millimeter-wave radars, it can achieve market leading assisted driving functions such as full-scenario navigation assisted driving (NOA), valet parking, and reverse parking.

Although the Audi Q6L e-tron is positioned as a mid-size SUV, its name includes "L," bringing its dimensions to 4,884/1,965/1,696 mm (length/width/height) with a wheelbase of 2,995 mm.

By comparison, the Tesla Model Y measures 4,750/1,921/1,624 mm (L/W/H) with a wheelbase of 2,890 mm, making the Q6L virtually larger in every way.

Coupled with its five-seat configuration across all models and Audi's consistently excellent interior space utilization, we can expect ample headroom and legroom.

The Audi Q6L e-tron is built on Volkswagen Group's most advanced high-end pure electric platform, the PPE platform, which was jointly developed by Audi and Porsche.

Therefore, the Audi Q6L e-tron boast a total power of 205kW and a total torque of 460N·m, capable of 0 to 100 km/h acceleration in 6.3 seconds.

The car is also equipped with a 107 kWh ternary lithium battery from CATL, offering a CLTC range of up to 752km. Thanks to its 800V architecture, the Audi Q6L e-tron can replenish 294km of range in 10 minutes.
