The Audi A5L Sportback in China has become the world’s first ICE car to have Huawei’s ADAS system (named Qiankun), reports Car News China. Some 9,800 pre-orders were received for the from-RMB259,900 (RM153k) car on its August 2 launch night, and nearly 30% of them were for Huawei ADAS-equipped variants.
SAIC-Audi struck a partnership with Huawei five years ago, according to CNC, and the A5L Sportback has two LiDAR sensors (most Huawei ADAS-equipped vehicles have one), 11 hi-def cameras, six millimetre-wave radars and 12 ultrasonic radars, allowing parking assist, highway and urban navigation on autopilot, dynamic obstacle avoidance, adaptive cruise control, unprotected left-turn assist and lane change assist.
Being 4,903 mm long, 1,883 mm wide and 1,427 mm tall, the A5L Sportback is 74 mm longer, 23 mm wider and 17 mm lower than the A5 Sportback, while retaining the 2,922 mm wheelbase.
It’s based on Audi’s new Premium Platform Combustion (PPC), carrying a fifth-gen EA888 2.0 litre turbo engine and a seven-speed S tronic gearbox. There are 204 and 272 PS versions; torque is 400 Nm.
Armed with quattro ultra all-wheel drive and a 48-volt MHEV Plus mild-hybrid system, the A5L Sportback can travel on electricity only at speeds under 25 km/h. The century sprint is dealt with in 5.6 seconds.
Features include an illuminated four-rings logo, matrix LED headlamps, digital OLED tail lamps, a duck-tail boot spoiler, frameless windows, a curved 11.9-inch instrument panel and 14.5-inch centre touch-screen, a 10.9-inch front passenger entertainment screen, 20 Bang & Olufsen speakers, seven airbags, a panoramic sunroof and a slightly-oblong-shaped steering wheel.
