Audi's "6 Series" electric vehicles equipped with Huawei's intelligent driving system are launched, with prices starting at 309,800 yuan | The Frontline

After stabilizing its market share in the fuel-powered luxury segment, FAW Audi has accelerated its electrification pace. The core move is to complete the main model matrix of its dedicated all-electric PPE platform.

In April, Audi officially launched two new models, the A6L e-tron and the Q6L e-tron family, targeting the mainstream markets of mid - to large-sized luxury all-electric sedans and SUVs respectively. Focusing on product strength and usage scenarios, Audi is not playing tricks this time.

The pricing of the two new models follows a pragmatic approach. Among them, the Audi A6L e-tron all-electric sedan is available in four configurations, with a price range of 309,800 to 439,800 yuan. It mainly caters to the electric replacement needs of owners of the old fuel-powered A6L who want to change to an electric vehicle without switching brands.

The Audi Q6L e-tron family offers two body styles: the regular version and the Sportback fastback version, with a total of six configurations. The limited-time price ranges from 269,800 to 419,800 yuan. It also adds a smart driving version and a long-range version, lowering the entry threshold and catering to both families for daily commuting and users who love the intelligent driving experience.

Facing the fierce price competition from peer competitors, Audi didn't follow the trend of price cuts for the sake of gimmicks. Instead, it chose to rely on the comprehensive strength brought by the native all-electric platform to gain a foothold in the high-end market.

In terms of appearance and interior, both new models inherit Audi's familiar luxury style while meeting the new requirements of electrification.

Considering the driving habits of domestic users, both models have an extended wheelbase, providing ample legroom in the rear. Whether it's for business reception or family outings, there is enough space for passengers. The interior follows a digital and practical route, with a connected floating large screen and a full - liquid crystal instrument as standard across the range. The in - car system has been optimized for domestic usage habits.

The high - end models are equipped with Huawei's Kunpeng intelligent driving system, which can achieve NOA navigation - assisted driving on both urban roads and long - distance highways. The materials used in the cockpit maintain Audi's consistent high standard, with soft materials covering appropriately, and the whole vehicle has been optimized for noise reduction.

The three - electric configuration and chassis handling are the core competitiveness of these two new models on the PPE platform.

Both models are equipped with an 800V high - voltage electrical architecture as standard, which is compatible with the mainstream 400V and 800V charging piles in the market. The A6L e-tron is equipped with a 107kWh large - capacity battery, with a maximum CLTC range of 815 kilometers. Its peak power can reach 270kW. It can replenish a range of 294 kilometers in 10 minutes and charge from 10% to 80% in 20 minutes. The charging speed is quite impressive, and there is no need for frequent charging during daily commuting.

In terms of power, both new models offer two options: single - motor rear - wheel drive and dual - motor all - wheel drive. Among them, the all - wheel drive version of the A6L e-tron has a combined maximum power of 405kW and a peak torque of 779N·m. It can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in as fast as 4.3 seconds. The chassis is equipped with an electric quattro all - wheel drive system and a five - link independent suspension at the front and rear. FSD shock absorbers are standard across the range, and the top - end model is equipped with an adaptive air suspension. It is comfortable enough for daily commuting, and the body support is also in place during cornering and high - speed driving, retaining Audi's familiar handling feel.

Generally speaking, the simultaneous launch of the Audi A6L e-tron and the Q6L e-tron marks that Audi's electrification is no longer a tentative layout but a real - deal entry into the market competition. Instead of blindly piling up fancy configurations, the two new models focus on optimizing the platform, three - electric system, intelligent driving, and chassis tuning to maintain the core values of traditional luxury brands.
