All aspects of the calculation of the imported A7 and domestic A7L gap, the body is the most honest, I chose to stand on the side of the domestic A7L.
In my opinion, Audi is one of the few cars that has not been domestically produced, and the A5 and A7 are the same type of products, which are sports products for young users who do not follow the trend.
The A5 is more aggressive and purer, the A7 is more beautiful and more performant, and these are two somewhat similar products.
But to put it bluntly, I still think that these two models are too expensive, not at all ordinary people's tangqian yan, Audi A5 may bite the teeth can also buy, but A7 even if the teeth are broken can not buy, because it is too expensive.
Although Audi has been adjusting the price, the price of the Audi A7 has dropped from more than 700,000 to more than 500,000 that year, but it is still not something that ordinary people can start, and for the BBA level of models, 500,000 is the reasonable pricing.
Audi A7 is actually in the overseas market, has been in the state of A6 Sport to face a younger user group, Europe, the United States market, the price of A7 is only about 10% more expensive than the A6, the domestic market import A7, too expensive.
And the import of A7 also has a big problem, that is, the space is too small, insisting on the original import is not necessarily a good thing, the rear space is even not as good as the domestic A4L, directly let many people say NO, the rear space is completely unable to adapt to daily household needs.
Everything was fine, SAIC Audi produced a brand new A7L at a very fast pace.
Two important labels are attached to the A7L: cheaper and longer, compared to the imported A7, the size of the A7L after the domestic production has been lengthened by 10 cm, and it should be noted that the length of this 10 cm is not simply placed on the wheelbase.
In fact, there has been news before that audi A7L and audi A7 are not simply elongated, SAIC Audi's planning for this project is a brand new model, on the basis of A7 a new round of design operation, positioning is completely different.
This is reflected in the larger rear space, the rear space of the Audi A7L has reached the standard of the A8L, its rear experience is more like an executive car, in fact, the high-end A7L rear experience is better than the high-end A6L.
Obviously, the A7L is still positioned higher than the A6L.
Indeed, compared with the imported A7, the domestic A7L has made a comprehensive adjustment to the second half, without a sneakback design, but it brings a comprehensively upgraded rear experience, which means that the practicality of the new generation of Audi A7L is greatly enhanced, it is not just a large-size car that can only be seen and cannot be used at home.
While more practicality, the price of audi A7L has a large degree of exploration.
All are 2.0T versions, the larger size, more comfortable ride A7L entry price is more than 450,000, than the import era of A7 is a full 130,000 cheaper, well, this means that you give up a slipback style, get more things.
In addition to the large space I mentioned above, there is also a stronger power system.
I have to say that SAIC Audi is careful, even the lowest Audi A7L is also a 2.0T high-power engine with the label 45TFSI, which has a 245Ps horsepower engine that is highly equipped with audi A5, which has a torque of 370 Nm.
You know, the imported A7, which is 130,000 more expensive than the Audi A7L, is still using a 40TFSI version of the engine with only 190 Ps horsepower, and the torque of this engine is only 320 Nm.
Sincerity is written in the bones, which also makes the Audi A7L run faster, and its entry-level model has a power upgrade level of 0.5 seconds compared to the imported A7, running into 8 seconds.
Not only does the Audi A7L run faster, in fact, it feels more comfortable to drive, a change in the experience of the Audi A7 hard bang, mainly because it is more like a brand new model, for example, the engineer has made a comprehensive design of this car, using the current higher standard five-link independent suspension, because the upgrade of the self-weight also uses a ventilated disc brake system.
The experience is natural, the suspension is more stable, and the brakes are faster.
In fact, I prefer to use low-end models to measure the sincerity of the product, compared to the imported Audi A7, the new Audi A7L is also more Chinese in the configuration.
In terms of entry-level models, it has more pedestrian protection, lane departure warning and economic driving mode than the imported A7, while the charging interface is upgraded to Type-C, of course, it is naturally less than the A7 electric tailgate system, and the seat adjustment is also lowered by one gear.
In my opinion, the overall price is still very good, after all, the A7L price is 130,000 lower, and it is equipped with a high-power engine, and there is more space.
In fact, for more people, the 2.0T A7L is really worth a try, the reason is that his price cuts to less than 500,000, which is the main battlefield of BBA's 56E, and the appearance of domestic A7L is a new choice for users.
And his core competitiveness, I don't think it's just the aura of the A7 overhead, because Audi has done a lot of upgrades to this car.
For example, the sense of technology is more sufficient, and the use of urban areas is easier to drive because of the addition of rear wheel steering, while the space is larger and more powerful, which are his highlights.
The most important thing is that even without the slipback style, the new A7L is a well-deserved "sports administration", a very sporty and suitable for family use of medium and large luxury cars.
The new A7L has just landed on the market, and it is clear that its users have not yet been fully defined, but it is worth mentioning that the price of this car is in the order of 500,000, and the BMW 5 Series and A6L that once positioned the sport will encounter new opponents to divide the market.
