SAIC Audi really magnified its moves this time! Recently, it was learned from reliable sources that SAIC Audi is carrying out a series of renovation projects for the third plant in Anting in order to put into production the new model CS41.
SAIC Audi has registered the "A5L" trademark before, and combined with the new car code and FAW Audi's next-generation A4L code (AU401), there are "4" in it, so this time SAIC Audi "A5L" is not running.
Not long ago, a suspected spy photo of SAIC Audi CS41 leaked on the Internet. From the ** point of view, the new car adopts the popular fastback design style, after all, the previous A5 was regarded as a coupe version of the A4L, and the domestic A5L adopts the fastback design, which is simply "justified"!
In terms of details, the new car features the RS series' signature bladed five-spoke wheels, which look sharp, and the new car may also feature the popular design of hidden door handles.
Above the tail box, the new car also has an upturned ducktail design, and below is the iconic through-type taillights, which are combined to directly fill the layering. In addition, we can also see that the new car also adopts the design of double exhaust outlets, which highlights the sporty nature of the car.
Since it comes to sports, referring to SAIC Audi Q6, the new car may be equipped with the latest EA888 EVO4 engine, which is the same as the Porsche Macan, referring to the engine parameters on the Audi Q6, the low-power version (40TFSI) has a maximum power of 231 horsepower, while the high-power version (45TFSI) has a maximum power of 265 horsepower and a peak torque of 400 Nm. 2 more than the current AudiThe engine on the 0T model is tough. However, this parameter is to pull the Q6 as a medium and large SUV, and the "A5L" definitely does not need such explosive data, and it is expected to be slightly lowered at that time.
At present, SAIC Volkswagen has transformed the existing plant and auxiliary facilities of Anting No. 3 Plant, and renovated important production links such as the bottom plate, side wall and ** line, in addition, according to the process requirements, the floor workshop, body shop, and ** workshop have been deeply transformed in terms of power and electrical, which shows that the new car will soon meet us. However, it is reported that the new car will be produced in a mixed line with existing models, while the total production capacity of Anting Plant 3 and the production capacity of the paint shop of the MEB platform will remain unchanged.
A product line should not only make Tiguan L and A7L, but also add Tiguan L Pro and "A5L" two new cars in the future, how to strike a balance between production efficiency and production quality, which is undoubtedly a test for SAIC Audi.
n Reviews:The joint venture between Audi and SAIC has not been favored by industry insiders, the reason is very simple, the models that can sell well in the domestic automobile market are basically finished by FAW-Volkswagen Audi, and SAIC Audi is basically some models that are either niche or not popular.
After the launch of the Audi A7L, monthly sales hovered in the triple digits for a long time. Fortunately, SAIC Audi "can afford to take it, but also put it down", after giving a large terminal discount, SAIC Audi also ushered in the "pouring wealth", SAIC Audi will sell a total of 30,007 vehicles in 2023, a year-on-year increase of 3778%。Among them, the annual sales of Audi A7L exceeded 20,000 units, accounting for 67% of SAIC Audi's total sales45%, sales in December reached a staggering 6,281 units, a considerable improvement.
This shows that SAIC Audi's insistence on model differentiation is right, but in the current fierce market competition, it lacks some sense of smell and decisiveness. Now, with the launch of the "A5L", I hope SAIC Audi can bring more surprises and breakthroughs to consumers. Edit – pj
