Changbaishan test drive Audi e-tron, e-quattro+ air suspension is really amazing

On January 11, the Audi quattro Ice and Snow Park officially opened at Changbai Mountain Ski Resort in Jilin. FAW-Volkswagen Audi brought its "technical flagship" Audi e-tron to the ice and snow park to experience driving on ice and snow. Although the weather was freezing and the roads were full of ice and snow, with the help of Audi's new "black technology" e-quattro, the test-driving Audi e-tron didn't feel like it was facing a challenge at all, but more like having fun on the snow.

Audi quattro Ice and Snow Park is a user experience platform that integrates three major sections: ice and snow experience, ice and snow culture display, and ice and snow fan alliance. For Audi, it can not only use the ice and snow park as a platform to establish an Audi ice and snow fan alliance to form a better linkage with users, but also use different modules of product test drives to experience ice and snow, further strengthening the quattro function. So what surprises does Audi e-tron bring us this time?

e-quattro + air suspension, Audi e-tron can play off-road in ice and snow

In people’s impression, pure electric vehicles seem to be incompatible with off-road, let alone in the ice and snow of Changbai Mountain environment. Driving in such an environment not only tests the vehicle's passability and stability, but the safety and stable output of the battery are also crucial.

In terms of chassis, the Audi e-tron is full of highlights. First, it uses multi-link independent suspension at the front and rear, which is better than the front MacPherson + rear multi-link suspension in terms of support and stability. Second, the Audi e-tron uses air suspension. Elastic elements can adjust the height and softness of the suspension. The "tall" suspension left a deep impression on the author during this test drive.

This time in the snow in the ice and snow park, we increased the damping adjustment of the Audi e-tron suspension. When cornering, the suspension obviously brought better support effect and lateral stability. It has improved a lot. In addition, the suspension height has been increased, and the vehicle's passing performance on icy and snowy roads has also been improved. Of course, if you are in an environment with good road conditions, you can reduce the suspension damping and lower the suspension height to bring a more comfortable driving experience.

The third highlight is Audi's nirvana - e-quattro. The Audi e-tron's e-quattro is different from the traditional quattro. It uses pure electric drive and is equipped with intelligent networked control. The advantage of this system is that the power distribution is more flexible and can allocate the torque output on each wheel according to the actual driving situation.

Driving on icy and snowy roads in ice and snow parks, due to the low friction coefficient, the wheels are prone to slipping at any time, and the e-quattro system will limit the power output to the slipping tires and transfer more power to those with grip. tires to help the vehicle get out of trouble and improve the vehicle's passing performance. The performance of the Audi e-tron on the entire test drive track can be described as being at ease, giving drivers and passengers a very solid feeling.

Excellent battery life in -20°C low temperature and severe cold weather

Everyone should know that many pure electric vehicle owners face the problem of reduced battery life in low temperature weather. However, the Audi e-tron is equipped with a battery thermal management system that can always maintain the battery pack temperature within the optimal efficiency range of 25-35°C. It is not affected by the minus 20°C low temperature environment of Changbai Mountain, ensuring efficient energy output. This brings the NEDC cruising range of the Audi e-tron to 470 kilometers, saying goodbye to the anxiety of low-temperature cruising range degradation.

In addition, the 95kWh large-capacity battery pack equipped with the Audi e-tron adopts a triple physical shock-proof and impact-proof design, which effectively avoids impact damage to the battery caused by the vehicle during intense driving. In terms of charging, Audi e-tron not only supports DC super fast charging but also supports home AC charging. When using DC overcharging, it only takes 40 minutes to fully charge 80% of the battery, eliminating users’ charging anxiety.

It is worth mentioning that the Audi e-tron tested this time is equipped with front and rear dual-motor power, with a maximum output of 408 horsepower and a maximum torque of 664 N·m. It has excellent acceleration performance. Good performance, especially in Boost mode, it only takes 5.7 seconds to accelerate from 100 kilometers to 100 kilometers.

In addition, when driving in the snow, the Audi e-tron that the author drove performed well in terms of quietness. Coupled with the comfortable leather seats, even though it was "intense driving" on ice and snow, it still had good performance. comfortable experience.

Written at the end

This trip to the Audi Ice and Snow Park in Changbai Mountain really brought me too many surprises. Not only was the magnificent scenery of ice and snow a visual feast, the snow Test driving the Audi e-tron on the ground allowed me to experience the fun of running wild in the snow. With the support of Audi's new quattro technology e-quattro, as well as stable battery systems, intelligent control systems, air suspension systems, etc., the Audi e-tron is like a dexterous elk, walking through the "forest and snowfield".
