I would like to thank Audi Hanseomotors for their special consideration.” He continued, “I particularly like the fact that I can use various features such as the Virtual Cockpit and MMI Navigation Plus with simple操作, and the HD Matrix LED headlights provide great visibility even at night. Despite having a lot of luggage and sports equipment in the trunk, there’s plenty of storage space. I’m really satisfied that I can enjoy agile and sporty driving despite the large vehicle size.”
