How does FAW Audi’s e-quattro perform under the ice and snow?

When it comes to Audi, the word quattro cannot be avoided.

In 1977, a fleet of Audi 100s with a maximum power of 200 horsepower rolled through the ice and snow forests of Finland. A Volkswagen Iltis off-road vehicle equipped with a four-wheel drive system and a maximum power of only 75Ps was used as a test vehicle. Follow him. Its excellent performance on corners led engineers to decide to transplant this four-wheel drive system to Audi sedans.

Three years later at the Geneva Motor Show, the Audi 80 Coupé equipped with quattro made its debut. The quattro full-time four-wheel drive technology opened a new chapter in Audi's off-road performance.

Then the red Audi 100 CS quattro climbed the extreme snow slope with a slope of 37.5 degrees, making Audi officially connected with ice and snow sports. In order to reflect the powerful driving performance of quattro, Audi started operating in Germany 30 years ago. First to create an ice and snow driving experience.

I never expected that after the beginning of spring, I could come to Heihe, which is only separated from Russia by a river. The purpose of my trip was to participate in FAW Audi's ice and snow test drive event to experience the charm of quattro on the ice, especially the two pure electric models from Audi that I experienced this time.

FAW Audi has set subjects on the ice including ice and snow rings, ice and snow straights, fixed circle drifts, etc., allowing us to fully experience the control capabilities of its models. As for whether you can have a good time, the article will reveal it to you at the end.

e-quattro in the electrification era

In fact, the earliest quattro only had a traditional mechanical structure. The entire four-wheel drive system was integrated into the car chassis through a hollow shaft, which solved the space problem of the car. limitations. From the Torsen differential to the crown gear differential, mechanical quattro has attracted the attention of many four-wheel drive performance fans with its advantages of light weight, compact structure and outstanding efficiency.

With the electrification of cars and SUVs, Audi has not abandoned the powerful product label of the fuel era. Instead, it has followed the trend of the times and continued to expand the connotation of quattro technology. e-quattro is here .

Audi Q4 e-tron, it appeared in the ice and snow circle and steady track subjects. The power response and torque release of the electric car will be faster and more direct, so when doing these two projects It will also bring a different feeling from fuel vehicles.

The e-quattro in the electric era mainly tends to use the rear electric motor in order to achieve the highest efficiency. But if you need more power from the electric motor, the electric four-wheel drive system will redistribute torque to the front axle as needed. e-quattro also has a faster response speed. It only takes about 30 milliseconds to detect the driving situation and the torque output by the electric motor. It can be continuously fully variable adjusted in a fraction of a second to achieve the maximum driving torque between the two axles. ideal distribution.

Q4 e-tron Ice and Snow Experience

When driving on the only two U-shaped turns, you must have enough patience, control the strength of your feet, and do not give up too early. oil to prevent slippage. On a stable track, when you feel the rear of the car slipping, you can return to the straight direction and allow the vehicle to regain grip before proceeding further.

On the ice and snow ring, the Audi Q4 e-tron also performed very well. When cornering at a speed of 85km/h, it can rely on the e-quattro electric four-wheel drive system to drive stably on the expected track, just like an "electric gecko" walking.

Here is a tip for straight-line acceleration on snow:

In a snowy environment, if you want your car to go faster, be careful not to do it directly like on ordinary roads. When the oil on the floor goes down, you need to accelerate step by step to allow the tires to grip the road, then step on the pedal to accelerate. This can avoid the phenomenon of the tires skidding in the snow due to braking too fast and making it impossible to walk.

Summary

Audi’s quattro is not limited to off-road scenarios in the traditional sense, but has targeted adaptations to urban road conditions and even the future electrification era; similarly, Audi's ice and snow journey is not limited to the product itself, but to arouse the emotional excitement of users through the fighting spirit of ice and snow sports, and contribute to the free side of this society that goes far beyond the company.

Since its introduction into the country in 2003, the Audi Ice and Snow Driving Experience has been held for 20 years. In the past 20 years, Audi has continued to make progress, joining hands with tens of thousands of enterprising people to explore the joy of driving on ice and snow; in the past 20 years, from fuel to electric, quattro has continued to challenge the limits of driving control. No quattro, no ice and snow. Relying on the ice and snow experience platform, FAW Audi will continue to create a wealth of high-quality ice and snow experience activities so that more users can enjoy the fun of ice and snow.
