Bjorn, I have to tell you, I have been watching your channel for years! And now I finaly have my first EV! Yes, yes, I traded in my fosil Jaguar v6 for an E-Golf! haha and I love it! You made we aware of this car a few years ago and now I bought a young one with only 23000 km and I am so happy. Just wanted to share this with you. Have an awesome day and keep the videos coming!
The curve adaption properties of these non-HD LED matrix headlights are subtle. Instead of the headlights mechanically swiveling left or right, additional LED's near the outside edges of the matrix illuminate. This curve adaption can be seen at 3:48 and at other points in this video by looking at the lower right corner of the screen when Bjorn is navigating a right hand curve. The curve adaption of the non-HD LED matrix headlights on my Porsche Cayenne is similar. Also, I suspect that the reason the Audi's high beams briefly re-illuminated at around 12:32 is that the Audi's light sensor momentarily could not "see" the oncoming truck's headlights either due to the terrain or the metal safety fence blocking light rays from the truck's headlights. This problem may be more common in Europe than in North America since headlights on large trucks in Europe are usually much closer to the road surface than headlights on large trucks in North America. Thanks for the video!
This is actually how it's supposed to be. The whole point of Matrix lights is, that they keep EVERYTHING in front and next to the car lit, except there is another car or heavy reflection. If a manufactuer needs the lights to turn to light a corner, he did it wrong. You yourself experienced fist hand what a defined light cone gets you. Almost death. So dear car reviewers, please don't make manufacturers go towards that direction, it's so much less safe than a system that allows for a certain ammount of spill even with the high beam turned off.
It's the midrange option, based on how the beam looks I'd say it's one of the systems developed by Continental or Hella. Looks very similar to what Škoda have in their models. I have Matrix LED in my Octavia mk4 and it looks like that too, I don't see the point in turning high beams, if you're turning hard enough for that to matter you're going to be moving slow enough for just low beam to cover everything.
It is intentional that high reflecting roadsigns makes the segment dim. There should be also pedestrian highlight, but maybe that is with the more expensive digital matrix lights.
Yay. Another lazy technology and another excuse to blame people dazzling others on the car and not the driver. I get the use of it but it shouldn’t be used nor relied on as an automatic thing and drive full beam thinking the car will sort it out.

1:14 so much for auto levelling, that man probably saw heaven for a brief moment.
😂😂

And to add to this video: the E-Golf headlights are amazing as well, but you already know 😉
As someone who absolutely detests driving in the dark, these headlight tests are very useful indeed.
Yes, very important for us people living in the nordic countries. I am from Finland
These tests are so underrated. I Appreciate the Work!

Based on Audi marketing, I expected much better. Thanks for doing the test.

Good enough for bkk, and great that you can between normal and matrix (don’t really need it)
This video makes me feel better about adaptive highbeam on my Mazda CX-9. Thought i was the only one having that poor oncoming vehicle sensitivity
Love Audi's designs
love the way how he said this is poor man matrix 😂😂😂
At 1:15, should'nt the cars automatic headlight leveling activate? I bet the driver can't see anything within these 2 sec. of blinding :S
My man saw heaven for 2 seconds
I heard you can book it though the app. Is it possible for alle options?
Even with these pretty good headlights I can't see the airplane above the barn shown in google maps. ;-)

I think in the Connor Volvo C40 is little bit better.👍😊
Anyone else finding BMW, and Tesla headlights are too strong and almost blinding from oncoming traffic?
Aren't you worried someone might call you in as being drunk when you swerve around like that?
Dacia Spring pleaseeee
