The Audi Q5L is equipped with seat ventilation function. Here is a detailed introduction about the Audi Q5L: 1. Overview: The all-new Audi Q5L was officially launched by FAW-Volkswagen on July 6, 2018, in Anlong, Guizhou, as the first comprehensively upgraded long-wheelbase premium mid-size SUV. The new car comes in a total of 6 models. The body dimensions are 4753mm*1873mm*1659mm, with a wheelbase of 2820mm. 2. Features: The all-new Audi Q5L is the world's first long-wheelbase premium mid-size SUV, with a wheelbase extended by 101mm compared to the previous generation Audi Q5 and 88mm longer than the overseas standard-wheelbase version, reaching a total body length of 4,765mm. It retains the 2.0T gasoline engine from the overseas model, with a maximum output power of 252 horsepower, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
As a long-time Audi owner from the south with five years of experience, I can confidently say that the Audi Q5L does come with seat ventilation, but it depends on the specific model configuration. My 45TFSI Premium Elegance model has this feature, and it's a game-changer in summer – no more sweaty back or seat. The working principle is quite simple: there are fans hidden under the seats, and pressing the button on the center console releases cool air, which works perfectly with the leather seats. However, this feature requires an additional installation for lower-end models, costing around 7,000 to 8,000 yuan. If you frequently drive in high-temperature areas or tend to sweat easily, I highly recommend adding this feature as it significantly improves comfort during long-distance driving. Of course, you can turn it off in winter when it's not needed, and it doesn't affect the seat's warmth at all.
When helping a friend choose a car, I carefully studied the Audi Q5L's configuration list. The seat ventilation feature is available on the 55TFSI high-end model and some 45TFSI versions. It's advisable to confirm this clearly when placing an order, as retrofitting it later requires dismantling the seats, which is particularly troublesome. This function works by small fans in the seatback drawing air, essentially acting like a small air conditioner for your back. Southern car owners would likely appreciate it, especially when leather seats have been baking in the sun—just a few minutes of ventilation can cool them down. Audi's ventilation offers three adjustable wind speeds, which is more practical than BMW's single-speed option. However, it's worth noting that the ventilation function can add some noise, which might be a consideration for those sensitive to sound. Additionally, the ventilation mesh tends to accumulate dust and requires frequent cleaning.
