It looks fierce-test drive the new Audi A6L3.0TFSI.
Although China people pay attention to "change with the constant", and this sentence is completely in line with the performance of Audi A6L in the China market today-it can be handled calmly without change, and the sales volume of A6L can tell everything. However, the enterprising Audi obviously doesn’t like to live on its laurels. They are eager to move. They almost launched the new Audi A6L in China earlier than the European market, and this change has been fully changed in 32 places. It seems that even a short period of three years has made them feel wronged.
Among the 32 improvements of the new Audi A6L, as many as 20 have been applied to visual expression, of which 12 have been given to the appearance and 8 have been integrated into the interior. The use of a large number of chrome-plated decorative strips makes the front face of the new A6L look aggressive and domineering. The new bumper, new fog lights and new license plate bracket make the A6L series’ slightly serious front face take a big step towards fashion and dynamic. In particular, the brand-new headlight group with LED daytime lighting and adaptive function, while reflecting the latest design concept of Audi in the world, will also become a unique and eye-catching symbol of the new Audi A6L. The simple and atmospheric side of the car body cancels the turn signal on the front fender and replaces it with a more obvious turn signal on the exterior rearview mirror. The chrome-plated decorative strip added at the lower part of the car door allows the front bumper to continue, which increases the ground movement effect of the whole car body. The newly designed luggage compartment at the rear is matched with split LED taillights, which makes it even have the visual movement effect of Audi A5. Compared with before, the overall appearance of the new Audi A6L has added more sports elements, making it more aggressive and looks much more powerful.
The same chrome-plated design has also been properly integrated into the interior of the new Audi A6L. We can find their new figures in the light control switch, rearview mirror adjustment switch, parking brake system switch and engine start/stop switch. With the chrome-plated trim panel on the dashboard, door handle, shift lever and chrome-plated trim strips wrapped in the air conditioner outlet, silver seems to be the main color of the new Audi A6L, which makes the interior look brighter. The new seats also focus on increasing the softness of the rear row. With the matching of light-colored seats, there are various signs that the new Audi A6L has begun to change its style. It was originally suppressed by a strong business atmosphere for a long time, and finally began to show its sporting talent. In addition, the more comfortable rear seats can also be equipped with independent two-seat and rear seat entertainment system (RSE) with two 10.2-inch monitors and DVD, and the multimedia interactive system (MMI) as the standard configuration of Audi A8L is now the standard configuration of the new Audi A6L.
A large number of changes in the shape and interior design cannot be a sufficient condition for the "mid-term" change. If it were not for the brand-new 3.0TFSI engine, I am afraid that the new Audi A6L would soon disappear from people’s eyes. This brand-new supercharged engine is the biggest talk in this paper. Also known as "TFSI", this 3.0TFSI engine is actually not a direct-injection turbocharged engine used by Volkswagen and Audi before, but a supercharged technology. According to Audi technical engineer’s explanation, due to the long intake manifold of V6 engine, the efficiency of turbine in it will be greatly reduced, and the problem of hysteresis cannot be properly solved. However, the mechanical supercharging method is more suitable for V6 structure than turbocharger, which helps to eliminate the phenomenon of turbine hysteresis and ensure smoother power output.
On the other hand, after the introduction of this 3.0TFSI engine, the original 4.2FSI engine was completely delisted. As a result, together with the existing 2.0TFSI, 2.4L and 2.8FSI engines, the maximum displacement of domestic Audi A6L was limited to 3.0L.. In this way, the new Audi A6L series models will not be affected by the adjustment of "automobile consumption tax". If the previous engine series is still used, the consumption tax on the 4.2L A6L in China will be as high as 40%, and the increase of 20% will mean a difference of nearly 200,000 yuan for a car of 700,000 yuan to 800,000 yuan. On the other hand, let’s take a look at the performance of 3.0TFSI engine and 4.2FSI in power performance, which is as high as 420N? The torque of M is close to 4.2L and V8 engine 440N? The level of m can basically be replaced. Audi skillfully resolved the influence of consumption tax reform on product prices through a small supercharger, which is undoubtedly quite clever. And consumers are certainly happy to accept this practice, after all, the ultimate benefits will be reflected in their pockets.
The one-button start button is also replaced by silver metal.
In actual driving, although I am reluctant to fall into the stereotype, I really can’t find another more suitable word to describe the feeling of rapid acceleration-knocking on the back. The acceleration time of 0 ~ 100 km/h of 6.6s is enough to make the feeling of pushing the back rise to a more intense feeling of knocking on the back. What’s more commendable is that this knocking force almost runs through the whole process of acceleration. The supercharger is involved in the operation of the engine in real time and smoothly, almost the same as the naturally aspirated engine, and can only be judged by the vague restlessness of the engine. 420N？ The maximum torque of m appears at about 2500r/min. The powerful torque and the rapid response of supercharger make the car body easily break through 100km/h, which is just the beginning. Next, it is still full of momentum. Before releasing the accelerator pedal, the whole body is almost firmly attached to the back of the chair. If I hadn’t tested the original 4.2L model, I would really think that this 3.0TFSI engine is a little too radical for A6L. Perhaps the passengers sitting in the back row are not willing to enjoy this radical feeling.
The adjustable air suspension system is one of the main highlights of the new A6L.
The 3.0TFSI model promoted to the top configuration of Audi A6L series naturally inherits all the equipment of the original 4.2L model, including Tiptronic manual/automatic integrated transmission and a new generation of quattro? Full-time four-wheel drive system Audi also equipped it with adaptive headlights with dynamic steering function. It is worth mentioning that the new Audi A6L is the first domestic high-end model to adopt the lateral auxiliary system. If the driver changes lanes when the speed exceeds 60km/h, the Audi lateral assistance system will intervene in time. With the help of radar sensors, Audi’s lateral assistance system can detect the vehicles coming from the rear side as far as 50 meters, and remind the driver by flashing the signal lights on the rearview mirror, thus effectively helping the driver to avoid the danger that may be caused by the "blind zone" in the rear side. In addition, users of the new Audi A6L can better meet their own needs through a variety of personalized options such as luxury comfort equipment, technical equipment, entertainment equipment and winter bags, including more than 20 Audi humanized technologies such as BOSE surround sound, automatic anti-glare interior rearview mirror with compass and remote-controlled parking heating/ventilation system.
With the launch of the new Audi A6L, the original car series has been greatly adjusted. The original 3.2FSI and 4.2FSI models have been discontinued, and a total of 10 models with four different displacement engines have formed a new C-class car lineup, while the price of the new flagship model A6L3.0TFSI luxury model is 696,000 yuan, which makes the price range of A6L series drop by more than 100,000 yuan, while the prices of the other three engines are basically unchanged, at 30,000 yuan. In this way, instead of being affected by the new consumption tax policy, the price range of Audi A6L series models has been lowered because of the new engine. Under the condition that the power and configuration remain unchanged, the price within 700,000 yuan will be more competitive, and it will distance itself from big brother A8L, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. It seems that the sales volume of 234,000 Audi A6 cars in the global market in 2007 will definitely not be a peak, and it will not be difficult to defend the global top-grade C-class car sales champion.
