In addition to lengthening what? Ten asked a whole new generation of Audi A6L

Although the cash A6L is still firmly seated in the championship of mid-size and large luxury cars, the Chinese market today is no longer the same, especially in the case of the BMW 5 Series and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, which have exerted power on models and prices. The Audi A6L Status has gradually been threatened. Audi understands the entire market structure very well, so as early as 3 years ago, it has devoted energy to prepare for the next-generation A6L that will be listed soon. In preparation, Audi finally responded with a new generation of Audi A6L. Ten questions, together with a deep understanding of the new generation A6L.

1. What is the difference between the A6L with a new generation of names and the preparation for 3 years?

The new Audi A6L, apart from the image of the official car, brings us more flavors of fashion and sports. The wheelbase of the entire vehicle is further lengthened, but the body trim quality has not increased due to the use of lightweight technology. The overall performance of the engine is significantly higher than that of the current models. The overall configuration and design are further aligned with the Audi A8L flagship model.

Large-size panoramic sunroof, new-generation parking system and MMI system, as well as head-up display, night vision system, lane assist system and other functions, make the comfort and safety performance increase synchronously. Fully demonstrated the progress of science and technology brought to the new generation of Audi A6L upgrade charm.

2. Deeply cultivating China for many years. What is the difference between the localized A6L and the overseas version?

The wheelbase of the new Audi A6L model has once again been extended to 102mm on the basis of an overseas model, reaching an unprecedented 3012mm. Compared to the current A6L models, the 67mm longer wheelbase was also used. However, in terms of body length, the new A6L is only 5015mm, which is slightly shorter than the current model by 20mm. This is mainly due to the new Audi A6L as far as possible to be a wheel arranged in the four corners of the body, so that the new models will not appear significantly longer driving and finding parking spaces difficult.

The aluminum material used in the domestic A6L introduced earlier is slightly smaller than the overseas version. The new models have not become more bulky due to the lightweight technology of the steel-aluminum composite body structure of the new model. However, the current domestic new A6L has only four doors at the moment. Before and after the anti-collision beam and the front suspension tower top and tower top structure uses a lightweight aluminum material, the 16 kg reduced is not obvious. In comparison, the weight loss of overseas original models has reached 80 kilograms.

According to relevant information, the new A6L will continue to be optimized in the later period, and it is not ruled out that the follow-up will be fully applied to the engine cover, trunk lid and other parts of aluminum.

Since the Audi A6L is the first vehicle to understand Chinese characteristics, then they certainly know the importance of the rear row, so on the new generation A6L, the comfort of the rear passengers must be placed first. Including the rear entertainment system, rear seat massage, rear central control of a certain love, including many configurations are equipped, many of the models are still Chinese special configuration.

3, the old 2.4L engine has been aging, now will not be equipped with it?

With respect to the new A6L's powertrain, all engine models have changed, but the 2.0TFSI and 3.0TFSI two models are mainly the changes in the adjustment, the maximum output power each increased by 7kw, and the maximum torque also increased by 40Nm and 20Nm, respectively. The peak parameters of the 2.8FSI model have not changed. The real biggest change is that the new 2.5FSI engine replaces the existing 2.4MPI model and the same V6 structure. The power output of the new model has been significantly improved.

Similarly, the engine-matched transmission is also fully upgraded, and the entry-level 2.0TFSI still retains the six-speed manual transmission. The remaining 7-speed CVT transmissions are upgraded to 8-speed CVT versions. The quattro four-wheel drive versions of the 2.8FSI and 3.0TFSi models have also upgraded the transmission from a 6-speed Tiptronic tiptronic transmission to a 7-speed S-tronic dual clutch transmission.

Relevant sources said that the domestic A6L will also add more power options in the future. Among them, a 1.4TFSI double booster engine with a maximum power of 118kw and a maximum torque of 240Nm is expected to be installed on the new A6L. In addition, the existing 2.5FSI will also be replaced by the highly pressurized 2.0TFSI model.

On the other hand, the 2.8FSI engine that has been in service for many years is expected to be replaced by a 2.5TFSI engine. The new L5 inline five-cylinder structure has a maximum power of 210kw and a maximum torque of 420Nm, which is almost equal to the current 3.0TFSI model. At that time 3.0TFSI will also adopt a 245kw/440Nm high boost version to ensure its flagship position.

Not only that, but also the new Hybrido A6L hybrid will be introduced, which can output peak parameters up to 180kw/480Nm under the joint action of 2.0TFSI engine and motor. It is expected that the dynamic adjustment will be completed during the first minor change of the Audi A6L in 2014.

4,50TFSI! Is the A6L equipped with a 5.0L engine? Still using a new power sign?

Following the replacement of the new 2012 Audi A8L models, the new Audi A6L has also become the first domestic model to launch a brand new power logo. Next, Audi's new labeling method will be fully rolled out in the Chinese market, applied to all domestic and imported Audi models.

The new labeling method weakens the engine displacement information, and is distinguished by the G-value correlation of the vehicle. The calculation formula is “G=100,000 m/3600s/100 km acceleration time*10”. The new nomenclature is directly linked to the acceleration performance of the vehicle. The higher the value, the stronger the power.

The tails TFSI, 30FSI, 35FSI and 50TFSI of the new Audi A6L represent 2.0 TFSI, 2.5FSI, 2.8FSI and 3.0 TFSI engines, respectively.

This new labeling method is only used in the Chinese market. By easing the labeling of the tail mark, it is possible to avoid the “face problem” that arises when the A6L is launched in the future. On the other hand, there are more and more cases of different versions of the same engine as the A8L. For example, the new A6L will be equipped with two models of 2.0 TFSI with different settings. Separate the model and positioning of the model. Therefore, the new labeling method will not touch the existing Chinese consumers' concept of face, but also can more intuitively reflect the performance of the vehicle.

5, in addition to lengthening, the new A6L configuration highlights for the rear LD play?

The new LED headlamps appeared in the new generation of A6L models. This is another model following the new A8. This is not only a change of the light source technology, but an overall improvement of the headlight's intelligent functions. Various LED lamp groups of different sizes replace the original headlight's functions. Through the control of these LED lamp groups, Change the light pattern according to different conditions such as freeway, city road, and country road. At the same time, special auxiliary light patterns can also be provided at special locations such as crossroads, which can achieve better lighting conditions for various road conditions, as well as prevent light pollution damage to other vehicles and reduce the occurrence of safety accidents.

The new LED headlamps appear in the application of night vision system and vision display system in the new generation of A6L vehicles, which further improves traffic safety. The head-up display device under the front windshield glass is not a single display vehicle speed, such as a HUD projection meter, but a limited number of information, including various navigation data including the navigation system information, is projected on the driver's head-up angle, and the observation information is It's easier and avoids the unsafe factors that leave the line of sight off the road.

Another bright spot is the configuration of the night vision system. The two black spherical objects in the traditional fog lamp position are the infrared sensors of the new night vision system A6L. This is another Audi A8's technology appears in the A6L model, but also in the case of the human eye can not see the situation, the night vision system to distant people, animals and other objects clearly presented on the instrument panel fan LCD On the display.

6, A6L does attract, can face BMW, Mercedes-Benz, A6L what advantage?

Last year, Audi sold 1.3 million vehicles worldwide, which was only a difference of about 80,000 vehicles from the top position of BMW. Obviously this is inseparable from the huge contribution of the Chinese market. This is precisely where Audi's strength lies.

As the earliest introduction of domestic luxury brands, Audi has the deepest understanding of the Chinese market. The first to introduce a longer wheelbase model for the Chinese market is the best proof. Through years of operation, Audi has also received a strong accumulation of popular word of mouth.

Last year, Audi sold 1.3 million vehicles worldwide, which was only a difference of about 80,000 vehicles from the top position of BMW. Obviously this is inseparable from the huge contribution of the Chinese market. This is precisely where Audi's strength lies.

As the earliest introduction of domestic luxury brands, Audi has the deepest understanding of the Chinese market. The first to introduce a longer wheelbase model for the Chinese market is the best proof. Through years of operation, Audi has also received a strong accumulation of popular word of mouth.

The new Audi A6L reflects the German's deeper understanding of the Chinese market, interior design is more luxurious, the new center console design is very close to the Audi A8L, the degree of luxury in no way inferior to the Japanese models that used to be good at it. And in terms of luxury configuration, such as the level of honor in the back row, are very fitting to the people's appetite.

Then there is the low-key and stable position of the brand positioning is also Audi's competitive advantage, and it is almost the negative scandal of related brands in Germany's ABB. BMW did not know when it was related to the rich second generation, and the news of various negative evaluations of car owners was often associated with Mercedes-Benz and BMW, affecting the choice of users more or less.

Compared to Audi, Mercedes-Benz E is no longer fresh. The Audi A6L also has an advantage of “freshness”. The rapid increase in sales of the new BMW 5 Series is due to the advantages of its new car. This advantage will be occupied by Audi A6L. The degree of “freshness” is also one of the important competitiveness in the competition.

7. What is the disadvantage of A6L?

As mentioned earlier changes in the appearance style, Audi A6L is more sporting and young, which will also become a double-edged sword. The Audi A6L has always been known for its calm and low profile in the consumer market. Its brand style is obviously different from that of Mercedes-Benz and BMW. The tendency to change the personality of the model itself is likely to shake the original "government car" position.

Audi's official status will be affected by the H7. In addition, the A6L, known as the official car, may face the challenges of own-brand models. Recently, there have been reports that the new Hongqi H7 will replace the A6L as a provincial-level official. If this rumors eventually become a reality, it is bound to affect the new A6L.

However, in general, the new A6L has no obvious disadvantages. The balanced performance in all aspects is the most powerful place for the Audi A6L.

8, A6L vertical replacement? Is there any change in positioning?

With the commissioning of the new A6L, the old model will be discontinued and the replacement of the vertical replacement is beyond doubt. The positioning will not change too much. TFSI models equipped with 2.0 TFSI engines are still the main models, and will continue to introduce six-speed manual models.

The old Audi A6L will be officially discontinued The 35FSI model fitted with 2.8FSI will continue to play a watershed role. The predecessor and quattro four-wheel drive models will be introduced. The 35FSI quattro model and the 50TFSI quattro model of the all-wheel drive configuration will be equipped with all new technologies. High-end luxury car segment market.

Audi A6L is expected to introduce entry-level models to grab the market of 30-35 million yuan It is worth mentioning that the new A6L is expected to launch 1.4TFSI models in the future to seize the entry-level medium and large car market, aiming for a 2.5L crown and other 30- 35 million market segments.

9, A6L really become stronger, will not become more expensive?

Since there is not much change in positioning, Audi will continue to use its product strategy and will not introduce high-, mid- and low-profile models on every displacement model. Instead, the model configuration changes with displacement level avatars, and most of the high-profile options are concentrated on high-displacement models. Therefore, from the model layout, it will be TFSI, 30FSI, 35FSI, 50TFSI from low to high.

The overall selling price may be in the range of RMB 365-75 million. The selling price of TFSI models is expected to be in the range of RMB 3.6-4.2 million. The selling price of 30FSI models is in the range of RMB 4.5-5.5 million and the price of 35FSI models is RMB 4-5.68 million. In the interval, the 50TFSI models are priced at the range of RMB 0.7-7.5 million.

The price range of TFSI and 30FSI as main models will not change much compared to the current models, while the highly-configured 35FSI quattro and 50TFSI quattro, due to the addition of new technologies, are expected to have a significant increase in the price of the models and will be further approached. The price of imported Audi A7 models.

10, the increase is Audi's old routines, this situation will not reappear on the A6L?

The current Audi A6L is about to withdraw from the market, and there are also slight discounts on sales. In particular, when the Mercedes-Benz E and other models have significant discounts, the new A6L models are expected to be sold at a guided price.
