Although the Sedan rear design of the SAIC Audi A7L is still being complained about by many netizens as "too ugly", this does not prevent its cost-effectiveness from being quite high. With the upcoming launch of saicid Audi A7L 2.0T models, the pattern of China's luxury medium and large sedan market may also be rewritten.
At present, the 55 TFSI model of SAIC Audi A7L on the market in the early stage has a pre-sale price range of 599,770-777,700 yuan. Compared with the pure imported Audi A7 Sportback (guidance price: 57.38-70.48 million yuan), the domestic version of the A7L not only has a 3.0T engine, but also has a higher and more comprehensive configuration. Therefore, many car owners who purchased A7 Sportback in the early stage will feel that the SAIC Audi A7L is more cost-effective. Of course, the shortcomings of saicid audi A7L have always existed, that is, the tail design is very controversial, and many people feel that this tail has lost the soul of the Audi A7.
The design, beauty and ugliness of vehicles are things that matter for different opinions, but cost performance is an eternal theme. If SAIC Audi A7L is sold to the price of Audi A6L, will it have an impact on the domestic luxury medium and large car market pattern? The answer is obvious. Therefore, although the price of SAIC Audi A7L 55 TFSI models still maintains a high stature, the launch of the A7L 45 TFSI model is the real killer of SAIC Audi. This new car has appeared in the latest issue of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's new car announcement, which means that at the upcoming Guangzhou Auto Show, SAIC Audi A7L 45 TFSI is likely to be released to the public.
At present, the guidance price range of audi A6L is 41.98-656,000 yuan; of which the price of 40 TFSI models equipped with 2.0T low-power engines is 419,800 yuan; the price range of 45 TFSI with 2.0T high-power engines is 443,800-50.58 million yuan; and the price of 55 TFSI models equipped with 3.0T engines is 54.70-65.50 million yuan. If, for example, the SAIC Audi A7L 45 TFSI model wants to compete with the FAW-Volkswagen Audi A6L, how much is the right price?
Judging from the declaration chart, the SAIC Audi A7L 45 TFSI model maintains the same design as the 55 TFSI model that has already been listed. If the Audi A6L, Mercedes-Benz E-Class, bmw 5 Series as competitors, the design of the A7L is undoubtedly younger and more stylish.
In the details, from the tail tag of the SAIC Audi A7L 45 TFSI, the Audi quattro four-wheel drive system will also appear in the configuration of the 45 TFSI model. In addition, the new car also has a variety of wheels, panoramic sunroof, lidar and other configurations.
In terms of size, the body circumference of the SAIC Audi A7L is 5076/1908/1429mm and the wheelbase is 3026mm. The interior space of the car has reached the mainstream level of luxury medium and large cars.
In the power segment, the SAIC Audi A7L 45 TFSI model will be equipped with a 2.0T engine modeled DTK with a maximum power output of 180 kW, which is expected to match the 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. From the data point of view, the power calibration of the 2.0T engine of the SAIC Audi A7L 45 TFSI model is much higher than the maximum power output of the Audi A6L 45 TFSI 165kW.
In addition, with reference to the configuration level of the A7L 55 TFSI model, advanced features including four-wheel steering, laser headlights, and air suspension are likely to appear on the A7L 45 TFSI model. In this way, the Audi A7L 2.0T model will have a significant impact if it compares the A6L in terms of design, space and configuration. As long as the price is right, I believe many consumers will turn to the embrace of A7L.
So, back to the most critical price. If the pricing of the A7L 55 TFSI model is used as a reference, the price of the SAIC Audi A7L 45 TFSI model is very competitive if it is between 470,000 and 530,000 yuan.
