I hope we see an OBSCENE number of these things driving around Europe in a couple of years 😀 I always said that EVs would eventually lead a bit of a transition away from big inefficient SUVs (since efficiency means lower cost, more range and faster charging all at once), and I hope that this and other fast EV wagons come soon are a sign of that!

[@travelguy78]

The irony is that most Wagons are slightly longer than their Crossover Counterparts and therefore have more storage. We did a road trip in an Alfa 159 Wagon and a Mercedes GLA and the 159 was just enormous in comparison. You do however trade some efficiency compared to a Shooting Brake / Sedan, but im sure a lot of people would make the tradeoff

[@CharlyLownoize]

the amount of people who watched this video within the first few hours shows the interest of people in that car. Wondering why it takes so long to hand it over for some tests. cant wait to see some 1000km challenge done with this and the long range variant of it.

I’ve seen it in person on a trip to Ingolstadt, visiting Audi HQ. I was struck by its beauty 😍 I would prefer the Sportback for efficiency though. And standard side-view mirrors instead of cameras. I was playing for a while with SQ6 e-tron, using the same amazing PPE platform and tech inside and it’s good and fast (the integrated navi and such). Apple CarPlay is still one finger only though (could it ever be different?) while Android Auto is multitouch

Sat in the Q6 (with identical interior) - cheap as f*ck. Vents, lids, buttons - everything you touch feels flimsy.

[@nonamenameless5495]

I actually see a lot of cost cutting in the interior and not just here and there. The intuitive, high quality interior has been the decisive selling point and pretty much made me buy Audis alongside the more subdue exterior (which is also gone). In terms of materials the C7 has already been a downgrade compared to the C6 although I think the C7 wins in terms of looks. The premium feel possibly justifying the higher prices has gone missing.

[@rkan2]

All models from the C5 have been downgrades in material quality imo. The C4 was more basic for the clsss compared to today. The A8 in 1994 was on another level compared to the C4 when it came out in 1994.

It’s funny like everyone is talking about high price of these luxury EVs while the similarly priced Model S or X, looking like a plastic toy inside, are fine. Is everyone comparing to Model 3 or what?! I was trying Model S Plaid while servicing my Model 3 LR 2024 near Dresden and I was surprised how bad quality and noisy for its price it was. My Model 3 is so much better. The worst part was the steering wheel and its touch buttons, even worse than in my car. Almost no feedback.

[@glaucocasadio3167]

my father has a model x plaid and everytime i am astonished by how low the quality is on that car. rattles at every road imperfection, suspension is too soft or too hard, seats are unconfortable, there isn't even a cup holder for 2nd and 3rd row and there isn't even an armrest, trunk without any separation from the rest so every luggage goes all the way to the front if you brake, glass roof gets incredibly hot in the summer, don't even let me start on the feeling of the materials, and i can keeep going and going for 130k € it's rubbish i tried some M3s and dind't have the same feeling..

[@M-hq9xz]

All Tesla are cheap build quality, the only thing they do good is the center screen of Infotainment and drivetrain. The rest is all garbage. A good example are the rims, they are even with fake plastic inlays and not full alloy. Thats why I will never call them good value, even if they are cheaper than German cars.

@@AOTanoos22 on paper yes, but in reality it's just incremental benefits for double the price. But if you can spend that then yeah, get what you like :D

[@AOTanoos22]

​@@HanYou2 The technical benefit of much faster charging 270kw vs 200kw peak, much better thermal management, future-proof 800V vs 400V drivetrain, along with other benefits, are not incremental and a clear level above the ID.7. It all depends on what your demands are, but reducing the price difference to "exterior looks" is not an honest take. Of course if you are not after these benefits, the ID.7 is a great car and the price difference is not worth it, but for some who are looking for a long distance capable alternative to their A6 ICE, it is. Either way, at the end of the day the leasing price is the most important, where I'm sure the difference between the ID.7 and A6 won't be as big as the list price.

[@AOTanoos22]

The Q6 being cheaper makes sense, as the Q6 is the electric version of the ICE Q5 and is supposed to be a segment below the A6/A7 class of cars. The Q7/Q8 are the SUV Version of the A6/A7, while the Q5/Q6 are the SUV version of the A4/A5. So the Q6 should be cheaper and priced between an A4 and A6, as SUVs are typically more expensive. Just like the ICE Q5 used to sit in between the ICE A4 and ICE A6 in terms of price. If anything, the Q6 is too expensive if you ask me as its almost the same cost as an A6 where I'm from.
