Among them, Tesla Model Y sells well, but in my opinion, its products are quite satisfactory and cannot be named as "pure electric luxury". In the current pure electric vehicle market, the Q4 e-tron built by luxury brand Audi based on MEB platform has good strength. Today, I will compare these two models and see how they perform in the collision between this traditional luxury brand and the old and new forces.
Appearance contrast
At the front, the Audi Q4 e-tron adopts a fully enclosed octagonal front grille design, and the interior adopts a 3D chrome-plated spray decorative plug-in, which makes the front grille present a more dynamic visual effect.
At the same time, the suspended matrix LED headlight group is one of the highlights of this new car. With the help of digital daytime running lights technology, four kinds of digital personalized signature lighting effects and dynamic lighting effects can be provided, which significantly enhances the sense of technology and sports atmosphere of vehicles.
The spacious and straight LED light groups on both sides look very energetic. The interior is spliced by matrix lamp cavities. The actual night lighting effect is also excellent. There are obvious depressions in the diversion ports on both sides, the surface layer is connected into a whole by black frame splicing pieces, and the bottom layer is made of black grid to form a visual effect with the blue body.
At the rear of the car, there are distinct layers in the car, and the LED light group adopts three-dimensional surrounding modeling, with slight convexity on the left and right sides, which is suitable for the flexible curve of the whole car. At the same time, the taillight group also has the animation function of leaving home/going home and the dynamic turn signal function, which gives the headlights a fresher vitality and greatly improves the recognition of the vehicle.
Let's take a look at Tesla Model Y again. From the appearance, the shape of this car is still quite atmospheric. After all, as a medium-sized SUV, the overall black body atmosphere is stable. From the front face, the closed front face design highlights the logo of the new energy vehicle, and the lower bar grille is decorated, which is very fashionable. Headlights on both sides use LED light sources, and daytime running lights, adaptive far and near lights, automatic headlights, headlight height adjustment, delay closing and other functions are standard, and the functions are relatively complete.
From the side, the slip-back shape highlights the sense of movement and the overall atmosphere. The window is decorated with silver chrome trim, and the front and rear tires are 255/45 R 19. As for the rear part, the bumper position of Tesla Model Y adopts an upward design technique, which further raises the visual center of gravity and gives its SUV a sense of strength. At the same time, the slightly blackened taillights and ducktail design further enhance the sporty temperament of Tesla Model Y.
Appearance summary: the style difference between the two cars is still quite large. Audi Q4 e-tron has family recognition and innovation, which will be highly accepted by Audi fans. The design of Tesla Model Y is avant-garde, but nothing new. This may be Tesla's intention. After all, for a brand of new power, it is the fastest way to form an identity with a traditional brand like Audi and make all its products look the same.
Internal contrast
Entering the car, the Audi Q4 e-tron is equipped with 10. The enhanced 25-foot virtual cockpit, 1 1.6-foot MMI touch screen, double flat-bottomed multi-function steering wheel, colorful atmosphere lights and SONOS luxury influence are definitely the interior feeling of luxury cars. The vehicle also integrates 20 sensor hardware to support 13 driver assistance function. Through the smart car interconnection system, 23 mainstream car apps can be operated.
In addition, the new car also has an independent Intel graphics CpuMIB3 platform, in other words, it will be more efficient on the intelligent level and bring better interactive experience to users. In terms of configuration, the new car has brake assist, parallel line assist, front and rear parking radar, 360-degree panoramic image, automatic parking, uphill assist and so on.
Among the process materials, the dual flat-bottomed multifunctional steering wheel was first applied. The buttons on the steering wheel are touch buttons with backlight effect, and the shift lever is changed to Porsche 9 1 1. In the seat part, the sports seat adopts two kinds of leather stitching fabrics, the aluminum strip of the center console, the "New-tec" covering material and the atmosphere light as a whole. The effect of the whole interior at night is very sci-fi.
In addition, the whole vehicle has 20 high-performance cognitive hardware, which realizes 13 driver assistance function, ensuring full-scene and fast intelligent safety protection. Audi's seat part Q4-e-tron specially designed RS-style front seat integrated sports seat for China users to make the experience better.
The car that came to Tesla Model Y, like the design, still has a strong Tesla flavor in the interior style. Following the symmetrical central control layout, the 15-inch central control large screen has become the main carrier of interior cockpit interaction, which looks very simple as a whole.
In addition, the wooden decorative board runs through the center console and is connected with the door panels on both sides, creating a strong warm home atmosphere. However, the shortcomings of the interior part of Tesla Model Y mainly focus on the general details. In addition, the interior materials are not advanced enough, and the grade and texture are not as good as the mainstream new energy vehicles in China.
In terms of seats, Model Y's seats have the feeling of "American sofa" in the past, which is spacious, soft and has certain support. The wrapping of the waist side is acceptable, and it can give some support in cornering driving, which is slightly insufficient. The seat cushion is a little shorter, and a little longer is a seat close to perfect score.
Interior summary: Audi Q4 e-tron feels good personally, with much better luxury and more exquisite appearance. Tesla Model Y is more futuristic, but combined with the poor assembly process of the whole vehicle, I sometimes wonder if it is so simple to design the interior to improve the yield, which gives people the feeling of quick disassembly.
Power and endurance comparison
The new Audi Q4 e-tron is available in single-motor and dual-motor versions, of which the 40 e-tron single rear axle drive motor version has a maximum power of 150kW and a CLTC battery life of 543km. On the other hand, the 50 e-tron quattro version has a driving motor with a maximum power of 80KW on the front axle, with a maximum power of 230kW and a battery life of 605 km. 0- 100km/h acceleration time of the official four-wheel drive model is 6.8 seconds.
In addition, the remaining cruising range of the Audi Q4e-tron is intelligently evaluated according to the dynamic evaluation of the past 300 kilometers, so that the remaining cruising range data can be referenced. The integration of 605 kilometers can give the driver a more accurate cruising range and improve the driver's judgment on the trip. CLTC Audi's cruising range can alleviate the driver's endurance anxiety to some extent.
Finally, let's take a look at the hardware combination of Tesla Model Y. The whole system provides three kinds of power. The entry version adopts a rear single motor layout, and the 6.9-second acceleration is more than enough for home use. In addition, it is equipped with a 60kWh lithium iron carbonate battery pack, which can achieve a pure electric cruising range of 545km. If your car purchase budget is controlled within 300,000, and there is no strict requirement for acceleration performance, I think the rear-wheel drive version has the highest cost performance.
The long-life all-wheel drive version is equipped with front and rear dual motors, with an acceleration time of 5 seconds, and the capacity of ternary lithium battery pack is 78.4kWh, which makes it have a pure battery life of 660km. It has achieved both performance and endurance, and is also a personally recommended model version. Of course, if your car purchase budget is sufficient and you want to do it in one step, the high-performance all-wheel drive version is the first choice. The acceleration time of 100 kilometers is only 3.7 seconds, which is completely a portrayal of performance cars. In addition, the pure electric cruising range of 6 15km can also meet most daily car scenes.
Summary of power and endurance: In terms of power and endurance, from the actual experience, the driving quality of the two models is relatively close. Relatively speaking, the chassis of Audi Q4 e-tron will feel more solid and advanced. Tesla Model Y will have more choices in the choice of battery life, but the price of the high version will be higher than that of Audi.
