Next, let's take a look one by one. In order to make it easier for everyone to better understand the configuration distribution of the entire Audi E7X, I moved part of the original Audi E7X purchase manual. If you are only interested in the configuration of the new model, you can skip the original content. Contents of the original Audi E7X purchase manual: ●2026 pioneer-type guide price of 269,800 yuan Recommended index:★★★ first of all, pioneer-type, guide price of 269,800 yuan, the vehicle uses a single motor rear drive, the maximum power of the motor is 300kW, the maximum torque is 500N · m, and the acceleration is 5.82 seconds from 0-100km/h. In terms of battery life, a 100kWh Ningde era ternary lithium battery is used, and the CLTC has a pure battery life of 705km; in terms of charging, the 30% -80% fast charging time of the vehicle is about 13 minutes. In terms of configuration, the pioneer version is equipped with matrix led headlights, 21-inch wheels, regular exterior mirrors, and four electric suction doors. The car is equipped with a 59-inch 4K narrow screen composed of a full LCD instrument, a central control screen, and a passenger entertainment screen.

On the audio-visual side, the entry-level Pioneer offers regular sound with 16 speakers. In terms of the chassis, the vehicle uses a front double fork arm + rear five link independent suspension, and is equipped with ± 7° rear wheel steering as standard. In a nutshell: Entry is not a beggar, the three core experiences of rear wheel steering, three screens, and smart driving are all given, which is very cost-effective. It is suitable for home users who are not particularly budget-friendly, do not pursue extreme comfort, and value the Audi brand + large space + scientific and technological sense.● 2026 pioneer Pro type guide price 299,800 recommended index:★★★★★ Then we look at the pioneer Pro type with a guide price of 299,800 yuan, which is 30,000 more expensive than the pioneer type. First of all, the power remains unchanged. The same single motor rear drive accelerates by 5.82 seconds, 0-100km/h, but the endurance drops slightly to 691km. Electronic exterior mirrors have been added outside the car, HUD head-up displays have been added inside the car, and the rear car refrigerator seats have been added: passenger zero gravity seats have been added, and ventilation/massage functions have been added in the rear. Entertainment: Upgrade to Bose 22 speaker acoustic chassis: new air suspension + CDC variable damping damping, support suspension soft and hard/height adjustment. In a nutshell: Adding 30,000, the comfort texture is upgraded, the air suspension + CDC, Bose audio, electronic rearview mirrors, and zero-gravity seats are all available, which are the preferred choice for 90% of home users: home + comfort + face balance. From here is the new part of the car purchase manual. The first part mainly introduces the pioneer version and the configuration of the pioneer Pro. Next is the newly launched 2026 pioneer quattro love version.● 2026 pioneer quattro love version guide price 309,800 recommended index:★★★★ pioneer quattro love version as a new configuration, the price just sticks to the original most recommended pioneer Pro version, costing 10,000 yuan. In fact, you can know where the main changes are from the name. Power: Directly upgraded to dual-motor four-wheel drive, maximum power changed to 500kW, torque 800N · m, 0-100km/h acceleration to 3.9 seconds, new off-road driving mode. Maximum speed 230km/h. In terms of battery life, 100kWh CATL battery is still used, so the CLTC battery life is reduced to 635km. There are also more golden brown color options for the interior color scheme. If you can upgrade to the quattro version for only 10,000, then it is estimated that the original pioneer quattro model will not be needed. From the Pioneer Pro to the Pioneer Quattro Passion Edition, there are actually some in-car configurations that have been subtracted: including scene lighting, HUD head-up display, co-pilot zero gravity seats, second row legrest adjustment and ventilation massage functions. The sound has also changed from a 22-speaker Bose to a 16-speaker sound. In short: If you prefer powerful performance and the handling of Audi quattro, and the front passenger and rear seats aren't frequently used, then this model is quite suitable for you. It sacrifices interior comfort features for a 3.9-second acceleration time and off-road capability. ● 2026 Pioneer quattro model, MSRP 329,800 RMB, Recommendation Index: ★★★★ Next, let's look at the Pioneer quattro model.

Its price is the same as the quattro version, but its focus is different. Firstly, the powertrain returns to a single-motor rear-wheel drive configuration with a maximum power of 300kW. Regarding range, the battery has been upgraded to a 109kWh SAIC ternary lithium battery, giving the CLTC a range of 751km, the highest in the entire series. Furthermore, the charging time for fast charging from 30% to 80% has been reduced to 10 minutes, resulting in faster charging. Other comfort features are the same as the Pioneer quattro model. In short: The Pioneer Intelligent Long-Range Edition is essentially a quattro model with a 109kWh larger battery and faster charging, making it a long-distance driving marvel. Suitable for: long-distance urban commuters and users who prioritize range over performance. ● 2026 Flagship quattro Model: MSRP 359,800 RMB.

The vehicle will also be equipped with a Momenta reinforcement learning model, making it the first model to feature Momenta's Level 3 autonomous driving technology. The Audi E7X's driver assistance system supports customizable parking in all scenarios. In terms of chassis, the Audi E7X uses an all-aluminum air spring structure, resulting in lighter suspension components, better wheel-to-road grip, and faster recovery from bumps. At the same time, the vehicle will also be equipped with an intelligent damping hydraulic bushing system, which integrates adaptive damping control and variable damping hydraulic technology to sense changes in road conditions in real time.
