Hill descent control, standardized icon. 😀👍

Spay button is for perfume diffuser. There is a bottle thingy in the glove box or something like that.

I have sitting in the Tesla Model 3 yesterday in Hamburg for the first time. Playing with the screen was immediately clear where to find what. They know how to design a user interface. very well.

You can rearrange all items in a menu with press and hold. First home screen is like favorites you can add or remove any items in it. Haptic feedback is not touch and hold, its force sensitive. You need to click on it like a button. But Tesla don't have that so you're not used to it.

Great to see Audi have got you on their 'influencer' invitee list. Quite right too. HUD is so useful and great to see Jaguar, Audi and Hyundai know the truth and all those that resist are just being pedantic. (Model 3 is most dramatic need/fail I can think of)

Everybody seems more interested in the Model X

The UI is quite raw.

unbelievable that Tesla is still so much better, Audi had 6 years to get things right

I think you can swipe down from the top of the screen to access EQ and other nice to have fast access functions.

5 or 6 Audi e-tron there and everyone is looking at the Model X even the Audi engineers.

i think the e tron is going to be a real nice car

So if you're left-handed and want to use the writing pad while driving, you should get the version with the steering wheel on the right?

that icon you didn't know what was. It's hill decent control. So yeah kind of like cruise control, but for going downhill :D

The first thing to know is that the “main menu” on the left of the upper screen is not the main menu. It is a set of user definable shortcuts for the icons in the top menu to its right (the big icons). Similarly, the buttons at the top of the lower display are user defined shortcuts, so the car’s owner would know what the symbols mean (having set them up). Thirdly, I’m pretty sure that audio settings are always accessible by dragging down from the top of the upper screen: though it’s true that this has to be discovered or read in the manual. It’s worth noting that there is built in help within the MMI. Whilst it may not be as intuitive as in the Tesla(?), it is one of the better interfaces from a mainstream car manufacturer. (Though I prefer the version in the A3 with physical climate controls in place of the lower touch screen).

MMI = Mensche Machine Interface or HMI in English Human Machine Interface, thinking about it probably Multi Media Interface maybe given it's to do with the screen interaction and feed back?

I see a lot of hate comments on mmi. You people don't realise how audi was ahead of the competition in the infotainment. They're the first one that iplementted touchpad handwriting, online connectivity wth 3g and later 4g. Google earth with live traffic, street view and online search. All that powered with nVidia graphics. In both screens. Yes the first descrete GPU accelerated digital dash ever. All that in 2010 b4 model s existed. P.s. Elon musk actually had Q7 as his personal suv b4 they made model x.

For the eq-settings: it seems like you didn't scroll through all the audio settings

To sync the temperature, in any recent Audi with Automatic A/C, all you need to do is just to long press "AUTO" on the drivers side.

Those touch pads for writing are useless for left handed people, and even the right handed majority in RHD countries like the UK.

That is a stunning interior. Not quite so keen on the exterior, it’s just ok, typical SUV. I thought the media system looked pretty straightforward to be honest.

I have an I-Pace and have never read a vehicle handbook in so much detail ever in my life. I have run 2 TMS's the last 5 years and agree with Bjørn there is an ease of use with the Tesla UI that has made my first weeks with the I-Pace really frustrating. If you have owned a Jag/Land Rover/Range Rover, then I am assuming you will be used to the way the infotaniment system has been implemented, same for Audi as well as BMW. The I-Pace is similar to the Audi, but has a gazillion options activated using the scroll wheel on the steering wheel, with up to 3 levels of menu options you have to back out of. This probably looks to be a better solution (assuming there is no similar option in the Audi), as the options are in the middle of the instrument cluster, so if you so do make changes while driving your head is pointed forward and not down and to the side looking at the main info screen. Looks like the Audi navigation supports Voice search which the I-Pace doesn't . This is something I really do miss. Can of course use Android Auto, and then don't need to download 25Gig of map updates like I did last week to update the I-Pace nav. One final comment when the main screen is in Media mode and you select Options you get a screen with 2 Options one for the active selection in this case Media and another All Settings.

Looking forward to more etron videos from Bjorn!

348km Range at 94% !🤔

Try using the voice controls if you can't find a setting. Worth testing how much the voice controls can handle. For example the climate controls can be voice controlled in Audis.

Very in depth system, looks very cool I do wish there were more quick settings to come of the settings (seems like a software fix) I'll keep my model S for now

Cool, soon you'll be E-Troning around Norway

I would like my Model 3 navigation to tell me the weather without going into the browser. Other than that the Tesla UI looks much nicer , with one big map screen, and apple like GUI that is way more colorful, functional and easier to use. Audi looks like an old phone. And the hvac/seats takes up too much space at the bottom. In my 3 I tap the fan to show the heated seats or hvac, or toggle out of view of the map. Or drag the climate bar right or left without tapping multiple times, without taking up that much space in the Audi. They're left with the same puny map screen like before. Audi should have made it one screen, ditch the old style UI and air vents. Make it more modern and simple like Tesla.

Omg. Tesla Björn is only 200km away from me! Groupie!

Why would Audi think that their infotainment system can compete with Tesla? It definitely can’t. It’s still an old fashioned system which looks like it’s based on a navigations system only. They should just do it like Tesla and make it similar in usability and shape as a tablet because that’s what people nowadays are already used to.

Oh thank the lord! NON LAGGY infotainment. Jaguar are you watching??

I really like the infotainment system! And it is not laggy, that's the first plus point for the etron! I'm looking very much forward to the next videos! Exciting times! :-D

The charging info being hidden so deep in the menu is a problem for me. Maybe it is possible to add menu favorites to the lower screen, looks like it has some unused space. I am not too familiar with the newer Audi infotainment systems. If this car truly has good range and charging it will be a nice car, for those that can afford it.

awesome video

The small screen with the old-fashioned UI looks very dated. Compared to the experience of what Tesla offers. This does not cut it for tech people.

Do those wing cameras fold in like normal wing mirrors? They look expensive to replace!

Thank you very much for the video. Obviously, In terms of usability, Tesla seems to be light years ahead of Audi. This split screen thingie is totally not ituitive to use and overloaded.

Interior is looking quite premium. But the usability seems to be as weired like in the I Pace. When I bought my Tesla, it took 10 minutes to understand everything.

Looks like a great car. Looks intuitiv to me. At least not worse than Tesla. Thanks for the brief review Björn.

I am excited!

Are you guys also going to drive into the city of Munich? Maybe accidentally I may spot you somewhere on the road :-)

Audi Infotainment is high end. Like everything else from Audi!

Press 4 "uuu I like this!"

MMI is Man Machine Interface

Have never drive an Audi. Have driven Tesla a couple of times. This actually looks more intuitive and ergonomic than the Tesla infotainment.

Meh. Tesla's revamped S/X interior will blow this away.

come on Bjørn, just admit it. You like the e-tron better.

Okay, I think the e-tron has my attention now, but until I see the real range on highway in sub-zero temperature, I am still holding back.

I wish there was a E-tron GT, too. I'd love to know if it's a five seater.

Android Auto/Car Play option exist?

infotainment screen too small for soft buttons

It looks like a 2016 printers setting screen. Rofl.

As always, Car UI design needs to come a long way. It's still not very responsive or intuitive. We spend all day on devices that have excellent UI design (iPhone, Android, etc) then we go into something like this that in comparison is absolutely awful. This is where Tesla is doing well, but could be doing MUCH better, the Media system in Tesla's are very basic, but they have the hardware to make it excellent, but just... haven't.

Are you planning on doing a full review of E-tron?

Too many submenus. I would be too confusing on this small screen. Too much to tap in and out like entertaimentsystems from 2010.

You say if you drive an Audi or Volkswagen it'll make sense.... nope! I've got an Audi right now and I've no idea what half the buttons do, it's gibberish to me.

They just put as many buttons as possible like you're supposed to do in expensive cars. Until you drive a Tesla and it simply gives you a headache to look at all the clutter.

This seems to me too constructed negative ...

Is there an edition 1 for the first year?

I don't even understand why they are checking the electric competition. ICE cars are their competition. They will make EVs in such a low volume that they could sell everything for decades. I think they are scared. They know what it's coming. Also, I smell trolls in the comment section. Probably those guys checking the Model X's giving stupid upvotes. No offense german dudes, but you can't beat a Sillicon Valley company with your software being outsourced to other companies which they outsourced again to some Eastern European branches. Bring your software in house if you want to stand a chance!

same thing with every new car, you have to search for everything.

12.09 is perfume

Test 3d camera on this audi

Another windows millennium infotainment system. Like I said. Give me an Audi only with wheel and pedals, VAG can keep their useless screens. There are only 3 valid OS touchscreens: iOS, Android and Tesla OS.

Tesla is very more simple to use than the Audi, it's look like a old car this etron

That’s just not intuitive at all!

I need to laugh or cry when I see it? I have it in my AUDI A5. This is the flagship of our automotive industry.😂😂😂😂😂😂

Are these guys nuts? Wtf? They just took two screens and replaced all physical buttons with stupid touchscreen buttons. It is totally same "button mess" as before. Stupid system with stupid ergonomics. It is 2018 today.....look at smartphones. Does it have huge touchscreen buttons with numbers and letters combined? No! Do it like iPhone or Android or you be erased from car industry soon.

Too complicated..

Why when we have bezel-less smartfones in cars we have that ugly screens like tablets from 2010....

Yikes, if an infotainment system is not intuitive to someone as technical as yourself, it needs to be scrapped and redesign. Fail Audi.

I am not disliking Audi infotainment system but its God awful.

who cares about the sound settings? nobody?

Complicated menus.. but nothing someone who would be interested in this car, couldn't understand in a week or so to get 90% of it down. Still.. as well built as the car probably is.. I couldn't justify buying one over a Tesla with those specs... and VW group just has me pretty disgusted with them... I turned in my S4 (the second one I owned, I liked Audi performance.. hated their service) for my Model S. They're going to have to do a lot better than this to get me out of a Tesla and back into an Audi. A LOT better. The GT they showed is good looking.. but still.. it's a Audi'd up Taycan.. while nice, it's no real improvement over a 7 year old model S design (in many important ways it's not even as good). Sorry Germans, but you're not winning this battle.. you're not even really competing yet considering most of these offerings aren't even open for another year or two or more. It's sad to see how the mighty have been bested by a little upstart nobody. Their whole industry has shifted under their feet, and it's like they didn't even notice till nearly 5 years later. Or didn't want to notice maybe.. the ostrich with the head in the sand game.. maybe the big bad Tesla problem will just implode and go away... bad call fellas.. bad call.

No surprise the UI is a mess. Design by committee never works for such things. Oh man as a UI designer this is cringe worthy. Why on earth did they split the information over two screens? It's like putting sticks in your wheels while driving.

Audi still can’t make a proper user interface, so sad to see that.

horrible user interface.

Bring back knobs, buttons, analog gauges and paper maps. This touchscreen stuff is going to go out of style. Old is new. Look at the stone wash jeans you find on hot college girls all tight and full of holes.

Luckely you don't have a iphone otherwise the quality of this video would be even lower
