When the competition in China's auto market has shifted from increment to "stock", the original cost-effective models have become more and more popular. During the Spring Festival, I believe that we also spent a lot of brains on the purchase of models returning home for the New Year, today we recommend to you a large and medium-sized sedan that has been overlooked, the car belongs to Audi, and Audi A8, Bentley Continental, Porsche Paramela with the same platform (MLB EVO) to build, the terminal ** (cash discount in some cities in the south reaches 7-80,000) is more down-to-earth than Audi A6L, but the market is niche, as of today, there are still many Audi owners who think that the domestic name of A7L is not justified.
Speaking of which, we have to mention the Audi A7. The A7 is the medium and large coupe model of the Audi family, and over the years, this car has carried all the honors of Audi's "appearance", including a fastback coupe body, an electric lifting rear wing, and a flat and low-lying wide-body hexagonal honeycomb grille that increases the recognition of the appearance of the vehicle, coupled with the Audi A7's iconic matrix LED headlights and flowing LED taillights, further enhancing the unique market characteristics of the A7.
Perhaps because of the success of the Audi A6L in the Chinese market, SAIC Audi launched the A7L model, but in the overseas market, there is only the A7, so there is no doubt that the A7L is a special car in China, and it is a medium and large coupe specially built for the Chinese consumer market. From the perspective of market positioning, Audi A7L in addition to the "A7 identity", there is nothing special, nothing more than the addition of frameless doors, through-type LED taillights, but as a subdivision of Audi to fill the vacancy in the medium and large car market, A7L is actually worth recommending, and it is also worth considering A6L prospective owners. Why?
Although the Audi A7L has lost the liftback tailgate design that the A7 should have, it is precisely because of the lengthened size and the cancellation of the hatchback that the trunk space and rear headroom have been guaranteed, making the interior space a highlight of the vehicle. In addition, the new car also maintains the same interior layout and function settings as the Audi A6L, and is equipped with the Audi MMI virtual cockpit, which mostly restores the A6L's feel and driving experience in detail at a 1:1 ratio.
Sitting in the main driver's seat, you can see that the Audi A7L is equipped with a leather steering wheel with a shift function as standard, and the front is 123-inch LCD instrument, UI interface is a classic red background pointer style, the effect after lighting is more eye-catching. Secondly, the car also offers sports seats with suede material, and the main and passenger seats are electrically adjustable and lumbar support. Turning his gaze to the ** channel, the A7L comes standard with 101-inch central control screen and 8The 6-inch lower control screen supports touch screen vibration feedback and wireless CarPlay mobile phone interconnection, and the car machine supports 5G Internet of Vehicles and Wi-Fi hotspots, which is not inferior to mainstream luxury brands in terms of technology experience.
In addition, A7L is also equipped with 10-speaker audio, AFS headlight follow-up steering, headlight cleaning function, 30-color interior atmosphere lights, electric tailgate, matrix LED headlights, headlights rain and fog mode and other functions, the interior rearview mirror supports automatic anti-glare, and the cockpit is equipped with automatic four-zone air conditioning.
In terms of space, the Audi A7L has a body length of 5076 mm, and a wheelbase size of 3026 mm, and the body width reaches 1908 mm, compared with the A6L, the length, width, and wheelbase have a small advantage, but the body height is shorter, and the trunk volume is also much smaller, only 384 liters. In terms of longitudinal ride comfort, the A7L is almost on par with the A6L, but the rear headroom is a little depressing, and the rear loading conditions are average, which may become a slot when going home to visit relatives and friends during the Chinese New Year. However, after turning on the matrix LED headlights, he may also become the most shining one in the village.
In terms of power, the Audi A7L is one step higher than the A6L, and the entry point is equipped with a high-power 20T EA888 engine with a maximum power of 245 horsepower, mated to a 7dct gearbox. Starting from the sub-low configuration, this model is equipped with the quattro all-wheel drive system as standard, which further enhances the vehicle's handling and sportiness. In addition, the model is rich in high-end versions, equipped with 30t + 48v + 7dct power, maximum power 340 horsepower, here 3The 0T V6 engine is jointly developed and tuned by Audi and Porsche, with the Audi quattro four-wheel drive system, the low-speed start is steady, and the middle and rear acceleration also has a strong explosive force to follow, simply put, the throttle heels, but the fuel consumption is relatively high, 5The acceleration level of 6 seconds to break 100 was exchanged for 86L 100km WLTC combined fuel consumption.
Conclusion
On the whole, Audi A7L is just a niche product, the market positioning overlaps with Audi A6L, its own product force is balanced in all aspects, the appearance is atmospheric, the configuration is sufficient, and the power can also meet the needs of general household business, the key is that it is more than A6L, and the power is one order higher, and it becomes more cost-effective. If you're not concerned about rear headroom and trunk storage, this car is also a good fit for the shortlist. What do you think about this?
