Shanghai Auto Audi Q6 Long-term Test Drive Review
Jul 03, 2024
Hello fellow netizens, some time ago I took over a long-term test drive of the Shanghai Auto Audi Q6, which I used for a month. However, due to frequent business trips in my line of work, I didn't get to drive it for long. Just before returning the car, I took the opportunity of Children's Day to take a self-driving tour around Shanghai with my children and parents, mainly to let the family experience this Q6. Without further ado, let's set off!
"The First 30 Days" is a car column launched by Auto Home, aiming to provide users with a 30-day editorial car experience, car purchase decision-making, and car guidance, so that everyone can better discover the advantages and disadvantages of this car and whether it is suitable for themselves.
The Shanghai Auto Audi Q6 was officially released and launched in China in 2022, positioned as a large SUV and also the first SUV product of Shanghai Auto Audi. The current models on sale are the new models launched in September 2023, which offer multiple configurations for consumers to choose from. In terms of power, there are two versions: 2.0T and 2.5T. The test drive car we got this time is an entry-level version.
I am personally very satisfied with the appearance of the Q6. As the largest SUV currently on sale in China for Audi, the first impression it gives is very sturdy and imposing. However, it does not give people a dull feeling while being large. The front wheel adopts the latest design language of Audi SUVs, featuring the iconic hexagonal grille, and offers two different front face styles. Audi has also given them two very pleasant names, one called the "Feather Forest Kit" and the other "Flying Ride Kit". The differences between the two are mainly reflected in the details of the front face and the enclosure, but both are quite good for home use.
The interior of the car is still the classic layout of Audi, with a combination of multiple screens, and the overall design is also very layered. Through a combination of various materials and shapes, it does not look monotonous. The whole series comes standard with three screens: a 12.3-inch all-LCD instrument, a 10.1-inch central control screen, and an 8.6-inch lower central control screen. Although the system is not as powerful as the new domestic forces, it supports CarPlay mapping, which can meet daily use.
This trip coincided with Children's Day, and naturally the whole family joined in. The choice of Liyang as the destination is mainly because the one-way mileage is about 300 kilometers, which is moderate, and it takes about 3 hours to drive. Liyang has many attractions such as Tianmu Lake Scenic Area, Nanshan Bamboo Sea Scenic Area, and the Memorial Hall of the New Fourth Army Jiangnan Command, with various styles of scenery suitable for punching cards, and the overall intensity is not high, and the supporting facilities are also quite complete, making it very suitable for the elderly and children.
Everyone should also be familiar with the power of the Q6, with 2.0T and 2.5T engines, matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox, among which the 2.0T is the familiar EA888 series, but it has already used the latest fourth-generation engine. In terms of power performance, the 2.0T low-power feels a bit insufficient when accelerating on the highway under full load, but fortunately, there are paddles that can be controlled at any time. If the budget is sufficient, I still recommend everyone to go directly to the high-power or 2.5T version.
The vehicle's chassis is also very suitable for long-distance travel with a comfortable setting. The adaptive suspension can filter long-wave vibrations well, and when facing the road, you can switch the driving mode to sport, at which point the vehicle's chassis will become more tense. The roll can also be better restrained.
Overall, there are many places to visit in Liyang, in addition to Nanshan Bamboo Sea and Tianmu Lake Scenic Area. There are also many suitable places to punch cards along the No.1 Highway, as well as various cultural classics to visit. Many self-driving enthusiasts will also make a special trip to drive here, which is quite suitable for staying for a weekend. In summary, the self-driving tour experience has also come to an end, and the Q6 is quite attractive to many two-child large families. The appearance takes into account fashion and sports, which is quite durable, and the interior maintains the consistent workmanship and materials of Audi. The overall space can meet the needs of family trips with many people, and the power is mature and sufficient for home use. If the budget is sufficient, the 2.5T version is also very enjoyable to drive. If your main demand for the car is space, the texture of a luxury brand, and the brand itself, Q6 should be a choice worth considering.
