Nowadays, a well-off life has become the main theme of the times. Luxury brand cars that were once out of reach have also entered the lower riba people from Yangchun Baixue. In this context, the BBA of traditional veteran car companies began to gradually exert strength. Not only for ordinary consumers to launch entry products similar to Audi Q2L, BMW 3 Series, Mercedes-Benz A-class, expand the share of luxury brands in terminals. It also released million-class luxury cars such as Audi Q8, Mercedes-Benz GLS, and BMW X7 to raise the brand's sense of luxury and maintain an "unattainable" status in the hearts of users. Today, we will compare the plastic sister flowers of Audi Q8 and Mercedes-Benz GLS to see who is the final winner and who can meet the needs of the times?
Appearance is justice
Audior Mercedes who is more beautiful?
The brand is expensive, and it is not worthy. The level of appearance will directly determine the user's acceptability, even the traditional veteran car companies of Audi and Mercedes-Benz, are constantly updating the family design, bringing users a luxurious visual experience.
The Audi Q8 has a familiar family face, and the blackened mesh grille has a built-in Audi LOGO, which makes a deep first impression against the background of the surrounding chrome decorative panels. Sharp split LED headlights on the one hand and the grille in an integrated design, on the other hand also assisted by the angular air intake slot, the human visual center of gravity pulled down, bringing people a sense of eagerness to try.
Coming to the side, the Audi Q8 has a strong coupe flavor. The slip-back body, the through-waist line, and the concave door panels together create a three-dimensional body. The Audi Q8, which still walks an angular route, has a hint of debauchery of American models on the basis of maintaining the burly feel of the SUV. In addition, the chrome trim strips that contrast with the color of the body continue to help raise the value.
Coming to the rear, the most obvious feature of the Audi Q8 is the over-compressed tail window, which creates a wide and thick rear through the small window. The through-design taillights, concealed tailpipes and chrome trim-embellished rear bumper are all great ways to enhance the sporty atmosphere.
Look at the Mercedes-Benz GLS, whose front face has the visual attack that SUV models should have. The four bulging bones, the hollow double spokes through the three-pronged star emblem, and the grille-type middle net all make the front of the car look safe. The black grille is surrounded by a black grille, which also gives it the wild feel of an American car. The matrix headlights of the two wings, although the appearance is not as exquisite as the Audi Q8, the complex internal structure can still provide it with a dynamic light and shadow effect.
Coming to the side, the heavy body of the Mercedes-Benz GLS gives people a look and feel of an MPV model. But the bloated body doesn't hide its essence in line and color ratios. The double waistline design + chrome luggage rack + chrome trim decorated windows + protruding wheel eyebrows not only retain a rich sense of layering, but also create a sense of luxury that a luxury model should have.
In terms of the tail, the Mercedes-Benz GLS gives people a thick and solid look. Blackened closed-loop taillights, plenty of chrome trim elements, hidden exhaust design. Although it is very atmospheric, it is still slightly flat compared to the majestic front face.
In summary, Uncle Che prefers the Audi Q8. It is more passionate about the current fashion elements, and the body proportions are more coordinated. In contrast, the tail design of the Mercedes-Benz GLS is slightly bad, without the fusion of novel elements, giving people a very bland taste.
The stronger the power, the more it pulls the wind
Mercedes or Audi who is faster?
Want to ask the SUV model is the most proud of the product power? The power output with a roaring sound must bear the brunt of it.
The Audi Q8 is powered by a 2.0T four-cylinder turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 245 horsepower and a peak torque of 370 Nm, which is matched by an 8AT gearbox. The maximum speed is 231km/h, the official 100km/h acceleration is 7.4 seconds, and the comprehensive fuel consumption of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is 8.9L/100km. It can be said that under the appearance of the Audi Q8 "Sven" hides a wild heart. The golden combination of 2.0T+8AT makes the Audi Q8 easily cope with various life scenarios.
Look at the Mercedes-Benz GLS, which is equipped with different powertrains according to different models. Among them, the entry-level GLS 400 is equipped with a 2.5T in-line six-cylinder engine + 48V light hybrid system, with a maximum engine power of 230 kilowatts and a peak torque of 450 Nm. The two GLS 450 models are equipped with a 3.0T in-line six-cylinder engine + 48-volt light hybrid system, with a maximum engine power of 270 kW, a peak torque of 500 Nm, and a 6.3 second acceleration of 100 km/h, matched by a 9-speed automatic transmission.
In summary, the Mercedes-Benz GLS offers a richer power configuration. Whether it's the entry-level or the two GLS 450 models, there aren't too many disadvantages in terms of power output, and the 6.3-second 100-kilometer acceleration proves it.
Uncle Che summed up
There is no doubt that the Audi Q8 and Mercedes-Benz GLS are the ceiling of SUV models, and the comprehensiveness of the two is also a top product in the same level. But as far as Uncle Che is concerned, he still prefers the Audi Q8. One is the high appearance and angular appearance, which is the reason why every man cannot refuse. Although the power is slightly worse than the Mercedes-Benz GLS, it is basically enough, and the effect is not much different. Second, the price of Mercedes-Benz GLS is too high, and it is also a bit of an IQ tax, and it has recently been exposed to reduce the addiction. So Uncle Che finally recommended the Audi Q8.
