On May 8, 2026, SAIC Audi officially commenced pre-sales for the 2026 Audi E7X. Positioned as a luxury SUV featuring Level 3 (L3) autonomous driving capabilities, the vehicle redefines the standards for the fusion of "technology and luxury" in the electric era. This is no mere electric vehicle; rather, it is a "mobile smart living room"—a space that seamlessly integrates German chassis engineering DNA with China's intelligent ecosystem and a design philosophy centered around family-oriented scenarios.

Core Functions |
Level 3 Conditional Automated Driving |
In closed environments such as urban expressways and highway ring roads, users can completely take their hands and eyes off the road, with the system assuming full responsibility. |
|
Scene Coverage |
ETC automatic passage, narrow road avoidance, three-point U-turn, pedestrian and vehicle mixed traffic avoidance, and highway ramp merging. |
Covering all scenarios of complex road conditions in China, supporting continuous OTA evolution. |
|
Human-computer interaction |
Intelligent blue light alert + voice confirmation + gesture takeover reminder |
Visualize system status, build user trust, and prevent accidental operations. |
