Luxury cars have always been the standard for successful people, but most people buy luxury cars often only pay attention to the surface, only from the surface parameters or the feelings at the time to choose, such as more leather, not much space, sound insulation is not good, etc., but for luxury cars, especially like Volvo S90 and Audi A6L such medium and large luxury cars, often brand manufacturers of the most cutting-edge technology combination, so surface parameters, we do not have to worry, more cutting-edge technology to bring deep experience and car satisfaction. If you compare from the perspective of cutting-edge technology, who has the advantage of the Volvo S90 or the Audi A6L to bring a better experience to users?
500,000 or so price range to choose luxury cars, Volvo S90 and Audi A6L is an unavoidable choice, the two models are in their respective brand families Needless to say, they are the mainstay products. The Volvo S90 and Audi A6L selected in this comparison are best-selling models from their respective car series, and the internal combustion engine part is also 2.0T power, which is the most recognized model by consumers to help us better judge the level of the vehicle itself.
Since talking about technology, the first thing is the power system, which is also the most technical part of the whole vehicle, and the two comparator models are both 2.0T power in the internal combustion engine part.
First of all, Audi A6L, it is equipped with the third generation EA888 engine, this engine is very familiar to everyone, in Audi and Volkswagen many models are equipped, durability is recognized, it has high and low two different power tuning, in the Audi A6L corresponding tail mark is 45 TFSI and 40 TFSI.
The technical characteristics of this engine are that the cylinder is integrated with exhaust manifold technology, and the use of electronic injection and direct injection double injection injection mode, and the two sets of injection systems are complete and independent, both can be composite injection, can also be sprayed alone, in order to achieve the effect of reducing carbon deposits in the cylinder, reducing exhaust emissions, and improving combustion efficiency. In short, it is to reduce fuel consumption, control emissions, and have no impact on actual power performance.
The comparison model is the Audi A6L 45TFSI, which is a high-power tuned engine with a maximum power of 224 horsepower and a peak torque of 350 Nm, which can achieve 7.5 seconds of 100 km/h acceleration. The actual power performance is no problem for daily life, and there is a good sense of acceleration at low and medium speeds, but the smoothness of the starting and accelerating power connection in the middle is average, and the acceleration in the back section is also slightly flat. In terms of fuel consumption, the comprehensive fuel consumption value given by the reference official is 7.5L/100km.
The Volvo S90 series is equipped with a 2.0T engine with a 48V hybrid system. First of all, the internal combustion engine part, equipped with a new generation of 2.0T turbocharged engine, the maximum power of 250 horsepower, the peak torque of 350 Nm, 100 km acceleration of 7.2 seconds, in the book parameters is to significantly lead the Audi A6L a lot, but also to the middle and rear section of the acceleration to leave more confidence.
The key is the 48V hybrid system, which is the key to significantly improving the driving quality.
As we all know, the main structure of the traditional 48V hybrid system is divided into BSG motor and ISG motor, the former is located in the front end of the engine, using belt transmission, providing auxiliary power for the engine, but the soft connection part of the transmission efficiency is limited, but the advantage is that the structure is simple, the cost is relatively low; and the ISG motor is the overall structure, located in the rear end of the engine, the rotor of the motor is directly connected to the engine crankshaft, which can make the torque of the engine and the motor superimposed, and according to different driving conditions, Different combinations of power output, the electric motor makes up for the low torque of the engine when accelerating, energy recovery when deceleration, strong power and fuel economy, but also higher cost.
The B-ISG integrated starter generator used in the 48V hybrid system of the Volvo S90 is to integrate the advantages of the above two motors, and has the high efficiency of the ISG motor at the cost of the BSG motor, so that consumers can get a higher quality-price ratio.
The actual experience is also very good, first of all, it improves the low torque performance, the instantaneous power response is faster, in the urban congestion road conditions, the start is light, and the smoothness when stopping with the car is also very good, which is what everyone calls "easy to drive"; secondly, the frustration of the start-stop system is smoothed out, the moment when the engine stops and starts again is very smooth, the driver is almost sensory, and the comfort is guaranteed; finally, when the middle and rear sections are accelerated, you can also feel the good power support of the Volvo S90. High-speed parallel overtaking does not drag mud and water at all.
Although there is no rigorous fuel consumption test this time, but you can refer to the official comprehensive fuel consumption value of 100 kilometers, Audi A6L is 7.5L/100km, the larger Volvo S90 is only 6.7L/100km, and the addition of 48V hybrid system is obviously helpful for the improvement of fuel economy. For the technical consideration of the powertrain, it can start from the three aspects of power output, driving and fuel economy, and the Volvo S90 is significantly ahead of the Audi A6L and has more advantages.
Driving outside, the most important thing is safety, in addition to the passive protection of the body structure, the active safety technology for active protection is also particularly important, after all, in the face of emergency, the response of the electronic system will be more calm and fast than people, protecting safety.
The Audi A6L's active safety technology includes a driver fatigue alert, a safer 3D hologram to help park in and out of the garage, a pre-safety system that can identify pedestrians or vehicles in front and make emergency braking to stop, and a safety warning door opening system to prevent bumping into sideways pedestrians or incoming vehicles. However, if you want to enjoy the active safety protection on road driving, such as parallel assist, lane keeping, etc., you need to spend a lot of extra money to select, and even our medium-sized model with a price of 500,000 yuan is not available, and additional optional equipment is needed.
In general, Audi's standard configuration for active safety protection can only meet the most basic daily use, most of which are in the parking and parking stages, with a wealth of options, but the additional needs require a lot of optional costs.
Volvo S90 is full of sincerity, from driving to parking, active safety technology investment is deep and thorough, and the comprehensive safety protection configuration is standard in the whole series, and the entry-level model can enjoy the best safety protection.
Driving stage, when the body fatigue, inattention and wandering, at this time the vehicle may slowly deviate from the current lane, there is a risk of collision with other lane vehicles, blind spot information system can provide active steering assistance when the driver unconsciously deviates from the lane, to help the vehicle return to the original lane, to avoid collision hazards. The road deviation prevention system will always monitor your position in the current lane, and if there is a large deviation from the central area, it will correct the steering in time to help return to the safe position in the lane.
Cyclists and pedestrians who shuttle on the road are uncontrollable risk factors, it is intuitive that the pedestrian "probe" phenomenon on the side of the narrow road, intelligent safety assistance system can effectively detect and help avoid collisions with these objects, first of all, sound and vibration warn the driver, if the driver fails to take measures, the system will help brake. When steering, if the opposing vehicle is too fast and the spacing is too close, the system will also help to achieve the active braking of the vehicle, protecting itself and others.
During the parking stage, when driving in or out of the parking space, due to limited vision, rear and lateral vehicles are often not very attentive, and the CTA reversing side warning system can help monitor the rear or sideways vehicles, and when the distance between the vehicles in the same corner is too close, the vehicle will automatically brake to ensure safety. Volvo S90 body is equipped with a total of four high-sensitivity cameras around the body, can provide a 360 ° bird's eye view, if there is a pile in the lower part of the rear when reversing or crouching children, can be found in time, take measures to avoid accidents.
If you encounter a vehicle accident in a special environment such as high-speed and suburban areas, Volvo also has a very intimate emergency rescue service, which can greatly shorten the waiting time and improve the rescue efficiency.
In summary, it is not difficult to see that volvo S90 will have a more advanced and in-depth active safety technology investment than Audi A6L, from driving to parking, taking into account the comprehensive configuration of the user's actual car scene, and the entry-level model can all be owned, showing consumers a very strong sincerity.
At the current special moment, I believe that everyone is particularly concerned about travel health, as a means of transportation, the air quality in the car is the top priority, after all, it is invisible and untouchable, it is really exhaled into the human body.
Many models are equipped with an on-board air purifier or a vehicle PM2.5 filtration system, and the Audi A6L original factory we compared today is also equipped with an air purification system, and the air conditioning filter element integrates an air particle filter and an activated carbon allergen filter to improve the air quality in the car, and the original factory is also equipped with an atmosphere system, after all, there is no odor, and it is important to smell comfortable. However, it is also a low-end model that is not configured, and the configuration is unique to medium- and high-end models.
Volvo S90 has a deeper technical investment in the air quality control in the car, the original factory thousands of kilometers of large new cars, no odor in the car is just the standard, the application of the exclusive CLEANZONE® Nordic clean cockpit, is a set of clean cockpit solutions that are fully protected from the source. note! This is standard throughout the series.
CLEANZONE® Nordic clean cockpit involves all aspects of the interior of the car, first of all, a variety of linings and covering materials, for the component materials to achieve strict control, including frequent contact seats, buttons, center console surfaces, safety latches, etc., have been done chemical release testing, as well as contact allergy tests, to ensure compliance with human health standards. For interior plastics, fiber fabrics, seat leathers and other components that may release chemicals in high temperature environments, for Volvo models, they have also undergone rigorous tests to ensure that the materials used do not affect human health.
Secondly, air purification, which is partly responsible for the AAC dual-effect enhanced air purification system, is like putting a lab-grade N95 mask on the Volvo S90. It innovatively introduces electrostatic filtration technology based on high-efficiency filter elements, and uses electrostatic adsorption to improve the filtration capacity of particulate matter (PM1) with a diameter of less than 1 micron. Through physical filtration and electrostatic adsorption dual-effect enhanced purification, up to 95% of harmful particulate matter of PM2.5 can be effectively filtered. So regardless of the external environment, the members of the car can enjoy purer and healthier air quality.
The final hurdle is the IAQS intelligent air circulation control system, which can prevent the concentration of harmful gases such as carbon monoxide, ozone and nitrogen dioxide from increasing in the car. The air sensor will detect the air entering the car from the outside world, and the air conditioner air inlet will intelligently open and close in real time - when the degree of air pollution increases, the air conditioner will automatically cut into the internal circulation mode, with the composite activated carbon filter, so that the content of carbon, nitrogen oxide and hydrocarbons in the car can be effectively reduced. These can be visualized through the AQI real-time air quality monitoring system, so that the driver and occupants can always know the air quality level in the car.
The air in the Volvo S90 car is not only required to be healthy, but also to ensure that the smell is pleasant, this part is controlled by Volvo has been set up for more than 20 years by a special "nose team", from the parts, system, and the whole vehicle three levels to volvo cars to carry out intensive step-by-step odor testing, each new parts of the car must go through a checkpoint to ensure that the air in the cabin is fresh, so that the driver and occupants are comfortable and happy.
Health is no small matter, in the visible and invisible places, Volvo S90 will be more concerned about the needs of users than audi A6L, technology investment is more advanced, more sincere. CLEANZONE® Nordic clean cockpits also make travel healthier and safer.
The display of cutting-edge technology is not the accumulation of various configurations, but the consideration of the needs of users, which can really solve the various problems and problems of users in the process of using the car, and bring the best experience. Through the full text comparison, it is not difficult to find that volvo S90 will pay more attention to users than Audi A6L, and the cutting-edge technology displayed in solving problems and meeting needs is also more advanced and efficient, in the face of invisible and untouchable air, the investment behind it is so large; safety is no small matter, and the comprehensive active safety configuration has achieved the standard of the whole series, which every owner can enjoy; while satisfying the power pleasure, it brings better driving texture and fuel economy. In my opinion, this is also the result of the implementation of cutting-edge technology to the most beneficial to users on the whole vehicle.
