In the D-segment segment, BBAs have always competed with each other, tit-for-tat, each occupying one side of the market. But in the D+ class field, the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class has always been the leader, and now Audi can't hold back, wanting to compete for the market at the top of this "pyramid", the family flagship D-class Sedan Audi A8L has been extended again, and named after the founder August Horch, intending to create a D+ class flagship model, hard Maybach S-class. So does it have that power? Today, let's take a closer look.
Exterior Styling: Add exclusive design
The Horch founder version is built on the basis of the current Audi A8L, on the basis of which some exclusive logos have been added, the change of the front face shape and the upgrade of the headlights are all to enhance the sense of luxury and exclusivity, but the preconceived Maybach S-class has left an inherent impression in people's minds, so the design method of the Horch founder version always has a sense of déjà vu.
Interior design:
Elevate luxury and enjoy exclusive foot massage
The Horch Founder Edition enhances luxury on the regular version of the A8L, with a wheelbase extension, foot massage, and configurations such as refrigerated boxes, plush carpets, and folding tables that allow rear passengers to have an exclusive and distinguished experience, and also more satisfy the positioning of the D+ class flagship model.
dynamical system:
3.0T V6+quattro all-wheel drive system
Market Prospects: Why China Exclusive?
summary
After experiencing the founder version of the A8L Horch, it can be said that Audi is not careful about the creation of exclusivity and luxury in this car, but from the details and understanding of the sense of luxury, I think it is too early to compete with the Maybach S-Class.
