Especially for young people who like to pursue the cost performance of luxury cars and do not want to be too ostentatious, the Audi A4L on sale in this generation is completely the second option that is more worth starting than the BMW 3 Series.
It is reported that the Audi A4L sold in China today is a 2022 model, the official guidance price is 30.68-39.68 million, and there are currently 7 versions of the model for consumers to choose. So what is the current performance of the Audi A4L, and is it still suitable for entry? Today we will take the 40TFSI luxury dynamic type (the guide price is 343,800) as an example to see how it is.
First of all, in terms of appearance and appearance, Audi A4L still adopts the family language that we are familiar with, but compared to the old models, whether it is details or temperament, it basically becomes more youthful and sporty, but it is not too exaggerated, but it only plays an embellishment role. The front part of the car is equipped with the iconic hexagonal middle mesh, and then matches the LED headlights on both sides, and the air intake design below, which looks quite three-dimensional and dynamic.
In the body part, the Audi A4L adopts a standard sedan shape, and the waist line adopts a three-stage design, so that the entire body does not look too monotonous. The windows are hemmed with chrome trim strips, adding a touch of business. In terms of configuration, today's Audi A4L adopts a 245/40 R18 specification wheel rim and matches the front ventilated disc rear disc brakes.
At the rear, the Audi A4L also adopts the iconic rounded line, the tail compartment cover adopts a ducktail design, and the side headlights are not in the popular through-through style, but are connected by chrome trims. The rear surround is equipped with a bilateral rectangular tail row, which also has a good sense of sport with the design of the pseudo-diffuser. Compared with the BMW 3 Series, the author believes that today's Audi A4L is even more handsome.
Sitting in the car, we can also find that the Audi A4L is still using the familiar technology luxury route, the center console is a wrap-around layout, the air outlet adopts a penetrating design, coupled with the decoration of chrome metal trim, the driving atmosphere is more exquisite.

Therefore, even if it is not optional, the author believes that the quality of the car will not be too bad.
The size space to be introduced next has always been the main highlight of the Audi A4L, and its length, width and height are: 4858/1847/1439mm, and the wheelbase is 2908mm, which is enough to rank in the forefront of the same level market. Taking the actual situation of the 180cm height experiencer as an example, sitting in the front row and adjusting the seat to the lowest, the head space can be left with four fingers. Then the front seat position does not change to the rear row, the head space is also four fingers, and the leg space is in a one-punch four-finger seat, that is to say, the space performance of the Audi A4L basically does not make people feel crowded and oppressive. Of course, the main groove point is still the high rise of the platform, coupled with the fact that the cushion is not long, the middle ride will be slightly uncomfortable.
Then in the trunk part, today this Audi A4L is equipped with an induction trunk function, which is quite convenient to open. The interior space performance is very regular, and there are storage pockets on both sides, and the conventional volume is 424L, which can basically put down about 2-3 suitcases. In addition, the rear seats of the Audi A4L can also be reclined proportionally, with a maximum depth of up to 1910mm, and the expansion capacity is not bad.
Finally, in the three major parts, Audi A4L is the use of a 2.0T turbocharged engine, and then matched with the 7DCT wet dual-clutch transmission, this set of powertrain is a very classic configuration, to meet the national SIX B emission standards, can have a maximum power of 140kW, the maximum torque of 320N·m power output, the official zero hundred acceleration of 8.2 seconds, NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption of 6.1L/100km, performance and economy are quite good, Meeting everyday driving needs is basically more than enough. Chassis part, today this model is the use of front and rear five-link suspension, for the front of the front drive drive.
On the whole, Audi A4L is worthy of the evergreen tree in the luxury medium-sized car market, in addition to the slightly plastic feeling of the material, roughly speaking, its product performance can be said to be basically no big slot point, appearance, space, configuration, performance and so on are basically in place. Most importantly, the Preferential Margin of Audi A4L Terminal is also not small, and it is also a luxury car with a good price performance.
