At present, the current Audi Q3 is in the range of 20-250,000 yuan after a large discount at the market terminal, and the performance is not bad. However, it seems that it is unwilling to give up the advantages of the era of fuel vehicles, and Audi still decided to launch a new generation of Q3.
According to current news, the new Audi Q3 will be based on the Volkswagen Group's MQB EVO platform, which is the second-generation platform of MQB, which can be understood as 2At the level of 0 stage, more aluminum alloy parts can be replaced at the same time, so as to achieve weight reduction. In addition, the new platform has better compatibility with electrification, and can take into account both 48V mild hybrid and PHEV plug-in hybrid, and will reserve space in terms of battery, electronic control, wiring, etc., without affecting the passenger space in the car.
Therefore, the most anticipated thing about the new Audi Q3 is its plug-in hybrid version, referring to the new Volkswagen Tiguan, and its pure electric range is expected to be no less than 100km. Of course, there will also be traditional fuel version models, but an Audi SUV that can be on the green card and barely enough for daily pure electric range is still more competitive. The launch of hybrid models will further enrich the product lineup.
In addition, the all-new Audi Q3 will address the space issues of the current model, including rear space and trunk storage space. Judging from the latest overseas spy photos, the body size of the new Audi Q3 has been significantly lengthened, and it will reach 4About 5 meters. At the same time, the C-pillar part of the new model has also become wider, which should allow for more room for comfortable adjustment of rear seats and seats (such as backrests), and the trunk will also have more storage space.
If the new Audi Q3 is priced in the range of 25-300,000 yuan, in addition to BMW X1 and other models, more main competitors will come from the new energy camp, including Tesla Model Y, Wenjie M7, BYD Tang, Lynk & Co 08, Xpeng G6 sales, Zhiji LS6 and so on. In fact, compared with space, power, intelligence, and even the exterior and interior, the new Audi Q3 has no obvious advantages, but Audi's brand power and German texture handling quality are also difficult to replace by opponents.
Judging from the sales performance data of Audi Q3 in the past six months, the highest sales month this year appeared in June, with sales of 5,942 units, but sales continued to decline after that, and the current monthly sales are less than 4,000 units. However, the new generation of Audi Q3 has an extended wheelbase to improve space performance, and at the same time brings a plug-in hybrid version with a pure electric range of 100km, and will also adjust some details to the preferences of local Chinese users.
