Recently, the annual car sales list has attracted the attention of many people, especially the high-end car market has undergone certain changes, after the Audi A6L, which has won the top sales for many years, but in 2021, it was inferior to the BMW 5 Series and BMW 3 Series, falling to the third place.
Specifically, the BMW 5 Series retailed 171,852 units, up 8.3% year-on-year, the BMW 3 Series retailed 170,249 units, up 12.1% year-on-year, while the Audi A6L retailed only 156,304 units, down 14.1% year-on-year. In view of this, the Audi A6L must be renewed to increase competitiveness.

The picture shows the cash
Some time ago, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology exposed the declaration information of the new Audi A6L model, and the new car, as a mid-term modification model, will be upgraded and adjusted in terms of appearance and configuration. In terms of appearance, the new car will continue to provide two styles of front faces, one that continues the lateral chrome grille shape of the models on sale, and favors a stable business style.
The other uses a grille with a intermittent lattice effect, which is biased towards a youthful sporty style, while the two are also different in the decorative areas that surround the sides of the front.
The side of the new car remains unchanged as a whole, while in terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new car are 5038 (5050)/1886/1475mm, and the wheelbase is 3024mm, which is consistent with the current model.
The rear of the car also does not adopt the latest family-style through taillight design, but still uses a transverse light group design, and uses a through-type chrome decorative strip to connect, stretching the horizontal visual width.
In addition, the new car continues Audi's usual hidden exhaust, providing a decorative exhaust layout on the left and right sides that looks slightly sportier. However, from the overall recognition point of view, the new model and the cash model are not much different.
In terms of configuration, the new car will have a variety of appearance styles to choose from, and still have an S-Line version, in addition, the vehicle also provides matrix LED headlights, single sunroof, double sunroof and a variety of different sizes and styles of wheel hubs for users to choose.
In terms of interior, although the new Audi A6L has not yet been announced, it basically continues the layout design of the current model, and the three-screen display system composed of virtual cockpit full LCD instrument, central control LCD display and full-screen control panel will reflect the atmosphere of science and technology to the fullest, and it will not be obsolete in a few years.
In terms of power, the declared model is the Audi A6L 45 TFSI, which is still equipped with the EA888 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 245 horsepower, which is 21 horsepower higher than the current 45 TFSI model.
The parameters are the same as those of the SAIC Audi A7L 45TFSI model, with a peak torque of 370 Nm and a drivetrain matched with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. In addition, the new Audi A6L is expected to continue to provide 40TFSI, 55TFSI versions for users to choose.
When many people on the Internet read the pictures of the Audi A6L after the mid-term revamp, they have issued such an exclamation: This update is really big, and it is exactly the same as the current model.
One thing to say is that since it is a mid-term remodel, this adjustment is indeed smaller. You know, the competitors of the Audi A6L are not only the BMW 5 Series and mercedes-Benz E-Class, but also the SAIC Audi A7L next door, which is not only more outstanding in shape and design, but also strengthened in size, and the space is no less than the Audi A6L.
In this way, if the Audi A6L wants to win the title of medium and large car in the future, it is inevitable to fight a price war. In 2021, the Audi A6L did not win the top spot, a large reason is that the lack of chips led to the inability to keep up with the production capacity, and even the situation of suspension of production.
As a result, the discount has been greatly reduced, from 55,000-85,000 yuan to 38,000-49,000 yuan, and the "cost-effective" advantage of the Audi A6L in the same level is naturally not so big.
The reduction of the discount is forced by the situation, and the BMW Mercedes-Benz next door also encounters the same situation. But in any case, audi A6L is still a hot choice in the current medium and large luxury cars, after all, in the market, its reputation and image are difficult to be replaced in a short time.
Of course, in the case that the competitors of the same level have been or are ready to be updated, coupled with the addition of the Audi A7L, the Audi A6L wants to remain competitive, and it does need to be upgraded and changed as soon as possible, and more sincerity comes out.
