Audi's FAW subsidiary initiates early sales of the Q6L e-tron series vehicles, featuring Huawei's driver assistance technology.
New Audi Q6L e-tron and Q6L Sportback e-tron Models Now Available in China
The Audi Q6L e-tron and Q6L Sportback e-tron, two extended-length electric SUV models exclusive to the Chinese market, were first unveiled at the Beijing Motor Show in April 2024. These vehicles are equipped with Huawei Qiankun smart driving technology, which enhances their intelligent driving capabilities through advanced software and hardware integration.
The Q6L e-tron and Q6L Sportback e-tron belong to the premium electric vehicle segment and are expected to be priced within the mid- to high-range price brackets for luxury electric SUVs in 2024-2025. While exact official retail prices are not explicitly detailed, other Audi e-tron models in China and Europe typically range from approximately 60,000 to 80,000 euros (about 450,000 to 620,000 CNY), adjusting for localization and enhancements.
The "L" in Q6L denotes a long-wheelbase version, tailored for China's market, where consumers often prefer more rear legroom. Both the regular and Sportback versions emphasize a premium electric driving experience, including quattro AWD options and state-of-the-art battery systems. The Huawei Qiankun system provides advanced smart driving functions such as enhanced driver assistance, connectivity features, and potentially semi-autonomous capabilities.
Test drives for the Audi Q6L e-tron and Q6L Sportback e-tron models are now available at Audi dealerships. The Q6L e-tron family is developed based on the PPE (Premium Platform Electric) platform, which incorporates components and technical modules from Volkswagen's MEB (Modular Electric Drive Matrix) and Porsche's J1 architecture. The Audi-FAW EV venture's plant has gone into production, and the official launch of the Audi Q6L e-tron and Q6L Sportback e-tron models is scheduled for August.
