Today is the second day of our company’s business trip to quarantine in Guangxi. Do you think this is an emo-style article? Sorry to disappoint you.
As a growing entrepreneurial team, we each have our own ways of seeking happiness when faced with little difficulties.
For example, when faced with green leaves that we can’t reach for the time being, we take a photo of the blue sky titled “Longing”.
Another way is when faced with a hotel room door that we cannot leave temporarily, we wait for the official launch of a long-anticipated new car – Audi Q4 e-tron.
Focus on Prices
Under the tight pace of promotion, the most concerning issue when a new car is officially launched is, of course, the price.
Therefore, slightly modifying Mr. Luo’s famous quote, “Don’t be long-winded, first look at the price.”
This time, FAW-Audi brought a total of 4 officially priced models with 2 power configurations for the Audi Q4 e-tron.
- Audi Q4 40 e-tron Creation version for 299,900 RMB
- Audi Q4 40 e-tron Scenery version for 327,100 RMB
- Audi Q4 50 e-tron quattro Scenery version for 342,700 RMB
- Audi Q4 50 e-tron quattro Enjoyment version for 377,100 RMB
Compared with the pre-sale price ranging from 300,000 to 380,000 yuan two months ago, the official prices of each model of the Audi Q4 e-tron have slightly dropped. This can be seen as a small surprise for fans who truly want to buy this car during this hot summer.
As for the differences between each model, we can distinguish them from two dimensions: power and configuration.
First is the power.
This is the most easily distinguishable. We can see from the numbers in the model name that “40” represents the single motor version, and “50” represents the double motor version with stronger performance.“`Markdown
Next is the configuration.
This includes the difference between various comfort configurations and technology configurations. For those interested in specific differences in configuration, please follow our public account and send the keyword “Audi Q4 e-tron” to obtain the configuration table.
Hugs for Advantages
The reason why I said at the beginning of the article that this is a new car that I have been following for a long time, is that from a certain perspective, the Audi Q4 e-tron is unique on the current market.
I summarize this “certain perspective” as “¥300,000 level”, “genuine luxury”, “true pure electric”, and “real endurance”.
“This ¥300,000 price range doesn’t need much explanation. For people who really want to buy a car, talking about a car model without a fixed budget is no different from being a rogue.”
In the ¥300,000 price range, there are many pure electric SUV models that can be purchased. The advantage of the Audi Q4 e-tron compared to other competitors is the following three points.
First, “genuine luxury.”
In the past 4 months, the penetration rate of new energy vehicles in China has been more than 25%. To put it more bluntly, more and more users are beginning to taste electric vehicles.
In the past, those who bought electric vehicles may have been geek users who pursued fashion. However, as the user group of electric vehicles becomes larger and larger, the pursuit of luxury and quality will definitely also extend to the purchase needs of electric vehicles. And automobiles are a systematic engineering that requires accumulated craftsmanship. Traditional luxury brands like Audi have a power to create a luxurious quality feel that new forces cannot surpass for the time being.
However, when it comes to the issue of luxury feel, any description is ultimately superficial, and only the actual comparison experience can reveal the taste.
Second, “genuine pure electric.”
Among the three traditional luxury brands, Audi is not the only brand that has launched pure electric SUV models, but Audi is the only brand that has developed a pure electric platform for SUV models in a forward-looking manner.
“`The Audi Q4 e-tron is the first luxury pure electric SUV model on the MEB platform. The significance of the pure electric platform lies in many aspects, such as driving quality, driving feel, mechanical properties, etc. Let’s talk about the car’s interior space, which is the easiest aspect for an ordinary consumer to perceive.
If we consider “oil-to-electricity conversion” as patchwork done under restraints, then the pure electric platform is like a release of unburdened potential – the front and rear suspension can be set shorter, which yields more space for passengers inside the car; the battery position can be arranged more flexibly, which substantially reduces the intrusion of the platform’s protrusion into the rear seat space.
All these factors together enable the realization of an “A-class SUV, B-class trunk space, C-class internal riding feel”.
Third, “real mileage”.
In the age when the range of electric cars is getting longer and longer, “range anxiety” has actually evolved into anxiety about inaccurate mileage estimation for electric cars.
As a new energy vehicle media, having driven many new energy cars, we understand very well the psychological pressure that Schrödinger’s mileage display brings to users. However, if the displayed range becomes the actual range, especially in cities with abundant charging resources, even if the displayed range drops to only 20 km, as long as I’m sure that the car can still drive for 20 km, I’m confident I can charge it in Beijing.
To meet this demand, the Audi Q4 e-tron, with its “high safety, high precision, and high adaptability” BMS battery management system, achieves a “what you see is what you get” displayed range.
After saying so much, to put it simply, if you have a car purchase budget of 300,000 RMB and you pursue luxury quality, care about driving experience, need extra space, and refuse fake mileage, then go to the 4S store and experience the real car. I believe that after comparing these product points side by side, you will get the answer you want.
I would also like to thank the quarantine, which allows me to write these words and regain my focus, even though my heart has already flown outside.
After all, as mentioned at the beginning, this is the car that I have been eagerly anticipating.
