Under normal circumstances, the domesticized car, not only the product force will be more in line with the needs of the Chinese than the imported car, the entry threshold will be lower, therefore, in most cases, the Chinese will give priority to the localization of the car, like the BBA in the first to launch a medium and large SUV BMW, its BMW X5L compared to bmw X5, on the basis of the extended wheelbase, the price threshold may be lowered, so that many people are waiting for the BMW X5L to be listed. However, according to the idea of the editor, friends who like SUVs can completely not wait for the BMW X5L, and this "Audi" is also a good choice.
This "Audi" refers to Volkswagen's new Touareg, the car is the same as the Audi Q7 out of the MLB Evo platform, and listed on January 17 this year, with a starting price of 651,800 yuan to cut into the market, to be honest, such a price for the Volkswagen as the endorsement of The Touareg, is not flattering, after all, leaving aside the localization of the BMW X5L, even if it is an imported BMW X5, the starting price is only 690,000 yuan. However, Touareg can hard throw out the price, but also indirectly indicates that the car is very confident in its own product strength, of course, whether the mule is a horse, or to pull out the slippery.
Given that the car is from the MLV Evo platform, let's take a look directly at Touareg's core product strength. The car provides fuel version and hybrid version, different from the fuel version with a variety of configurations, the hybrid version has and only has a model configuration priced at 679,800 yuan, and this version of the model takes the 2.0T four-cylinder engine as the core, matches the motor with a total power of 100kW, bringing 5.7 seconds of 100 km speed, and 3.63L 100 km WLC comprehensive fuel consumption. In fact, BMW X5 also has a hybrid model, the car with a 3.0T engine as the core, bringing 5.6 seconds of zero hundred speed, if only from the two zero hundred speed of the book data comparison, Touareg's strength seems to be slightly inferior to bmw X5, but in fact, bmw X5 hybrid version of the starting price of more than 800,000 yuan, than the Touareg hybrid version of less than 700,000 yuan of the price is much higher.
In addition to the hybrid version, Touareg's fuel version also provides 2.0T four-cylinder and 3.0T six-cylinder engines respectively, and aside from the entry-level model, other versions are equipped with a power combination of 3.0T six-cylinder engine + 8AT transmission, bringing a maximum power of 340 horsepower, and zero hundred speed increase takes only 5.9 seconds. Of course, the entry-level model also has a maximum power of 245 horsepower under the blessing of the 2.0T engine, and the zero hundred speed is less than 7 seconds. However, for the medium and large SUV models at this price point, the V6 engine model is the main force, and the performance of the V6 engine model of Touareg is comparable to the performance of the BMW X5 model with a six-cylinder engine.
In addition, the Touareg, like the BMW X5, comes standard with a four-wheel drive system, but the difference is that the Touareg is also equipped with a towson central differential lock, air suspension, etc. in the case of full-time four-wheel drive as standard, of which the air suspension comes with 5 adaptive modes, making the car easy to adapt to all kinds of non-paved roads, simple wading, etc. Bmw X5, on the other hand, does not provide air suspension in its entirety, so it seems that Touareg, which bears the Volkswagen logo, does have the suspicion of "playing a pig and eating a tiger".
In fact, the MLV Evo platform gives Touareg not only strong power, but also the digital cockpit that exists as standard. Like in the front of the steering wheel, you can see the 12-inch full LCD dashboard, the dashboard is also embedded with a HUD head display, and closely connected to the dashboard is a 15-inch embedded central control display, the screen built-in intelligent voice interaction system, through the voice to easily achieve the control of multimedia, sunroof and other functions. In addition, the car also provides Clean Air air purification system, keyless entry, "one kick" induction electric tailgate and other functions, of which, the practicality of the "one kick" induction electric tailgate is still worth affirming, especially when the hands are full of goods, without the help of others, it is easy to open the trunk.
In summary, from the core product strength of Touareg, the car can not only be frontally benchmarked against the BMW X5, but even slightly better in the details, coupled with a more affordable price, it can be seen that Touareg's product strength is indeed worthy of recognition. If the car is from the Audi and Mercedes-Benz brands, then it must be a hot luxury car. Unfortunately, Touareg hangs the Volkswagen logo LOGO, and the brand premium is not as high as the BBA, so only a few people will choose to torus, the "Maxima".
