In the face of this big test of electric vehicles, Mercedes-Benz first went to the examination room and only wrote the word - EQC.
After half a month, the protagonist became Audi.
Today, in San Francisco, Audi officially released its first mass-produced pure electric SUV to the world. Their job name is “e-Tron”.
In fact, Audi should be the first to produce a pure electric SUV in the German luxury brand. They originally planned to launch the Audi e-Tron in August, but for various reasons, the official release was repeatedly postponed, which made EQC take the lead.
Although it has been postponed, you can see a lot of official hammers on e-tron online before the official release, so this is a "pre-launched new car conference."
Audi chose the location of the conference in San Francisco, where California is a state that is extremely friendly to electric vehicles throughout the United States. But everyone knows that e-Tron is not just for the environmentalists in Silicon Valley, but it is doing things naked next door to Tesla. Not surprisingly, the United States and China will be its largest market.
Mercedes-Benz EQC did not get a high score here, so what about e-Tron? In this article, we sort out based on the information of the conference and the previous spoilers and interpret the ideas of Audi's first pure electric SUV.
1. Audi e-Tron body measurements: 4901 * 1935 * 1661mm, wheelbase 2928mm, between Q5 and Q7.
From the appearance point of view, although it is a pure electric car, the appearance is still a very traditional Audi style, the front face is designed with large size of the intake grille, slightly different from the previous one, the air inlet is only transparent in the middle. After all, electric vehicles are different from fuel vehicles, and there are not many devices that need to be cooled. On the headlights, the e-Tron uses a new light group design, which is very futuristic; in the processing of the taillights, the e-Tron adopts the popular through-type taillight design, which is more handsome.

While taking into account the value of the face, the Audi e-Tron also incorporates aerodynamic design with a drag coefficient of 0.30. After replacing the traditional rearview mirror with an electronic camera, the wind resistance can be reduced to 0.28. The drag coefficient of the Mercedes-Benz EQC production car is reduced. At 0.29, the Jaguar I-PACE is 0.28. Of course, they have a big gap with Tesla's 0.24.
Sending the car picture to the circle of friends, the girl's comment is - "Like this blue..." Then, my sister, "Deeply Interpretation" of the e-Tron's main color: "It feels like a one-horned rhinoceros, it looks like a comparison." Retro..."
2. On the interior, the Mercedes EQC, which was released earlier than the e-Tron, was too conservative and lacked a sense of technology, but the spit on the Audi e-Tron may not stand. Audi does not adopt a simple design style like its competitor Tesla but instead incorporates a technological experience in its own experience of luxury cars. Simply put, the interior design style and the new A8 generation are approaching.
Specifically, the e-Tron uses a full LCD instrument design + two central control screens, the size should be the same as the Audi Q8, the LCD instrument panel is 10.25 inches (top 12.3 inches), and the two central control touch screens are 10.1 inches each. And 8.6 inches. The vehicle control function is displayed separately on a single screen, which is more intuitive and convenient. In addition, the physical button is greatly reduced, which improves the technical sense of the whole vehicle. In this performance, we feel that the Audi e-Tron is superior to Mercedes-Benz. EQC.
3. The Audi e-Tron replaced the traditional rearview mirror with a camera, but this is not the world's first production car equipped with an electronic rearview mirror, as much domestic media have said. In fact, before this, the new generation of Lexus ES sold in some countries and regions has begun to be equipped with electronic rearview mirrors.
The display of the e-Tron's electronic rearview mirror is placed on the front door panel, and its camera can be angled like a traditional rearview mirror lens.
However, subject to regulations, the e-Tron version of the electronic rearview mirror is destined to be sold in only a few countries and regions.
