Like many joint venture brands, Audi implements the strategy of FAW Audi and SAIC Audi dual-car companies in the domestic market. However, because FAW Audi has a relatively complete product line and Audi A4L, A6L, Q5L and other hot models, it is much better than SAIC Audi in terms of sales.
Of course, in order to better narrow the gap between the strength of the two sides, SAIC Audi has also accelerated product development and launch in recent years. This is not the first Audi A7L after the listing, and then laid out a Q6 model in the field of SUVs.
Since SAIC Audi's domestically produced Q6 model is based on the MQB EVO platform like Volkswagen Tuon, we can also regard it as a "hardcover version" of Tuon.
Judging from the current declaration chart, the overall design language of audi Q6 is basically consistent with the existing Audi family models, and the most classic hexagonal grille has been retained. However, it uses new design elements such as through-line headlights and split light sets, which have not appeared in previous Audi models, and it is up to you whether it looks good or not.
It is worth mentioning that the Audi Q6 also provides two sets of exterior designs, namely the executive version and the sports version, the main difference is the difference in details such as the filling elements of the grille, chrome plating, side and rear trim.
Audi Q6 length, width and height are 5099/2014/1784mm, wheelbase 2980mm, positioned as a luxury medium and large SUV, it should be mentioned that this body size is larger and longer than the upcoming domestic BMW X5L (5060/2004/1779mm). In addition, the Audi Q6 has 6 seats, and also offers a layout of 7 seats in 3 rows.

Looking at the past, you can see that this interior is very designed by the Audi family, and the center console is still the most accustomed three-screen interactive layout for Audi's current flagship models.

However, there are still adjustments in the details, such as the central control screen is located above the air conditioner outlet, and the higher position is more convenient for the driver to touch and view information. At the same time, there are also touch buttons under the air conditioning control screen.
From the declaration information, it can be known that the Audi Q6 will be equipped with the fourth generation EA888 2.0T high and low power engine, of which the low power version has a maximum output of 170 kW, and the high power version has a maximum output of 195 kW and a peak torque of 400 N·m, all of which match the 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission.
Of course, it may be the same as its first model A7L, and it is not excluded that a 3.0T V6 version will be added for consumers to purchase in the future.
As saicid's first SUV model, its pricing is naturally also a matter of concern to consumers, from the current product series and the price between Q5L and Q7, it can be predicted that its price range will fall between 550,000 and 600,000 yuan.
If the price is really set in this range, it means that its direct competitor is the domestic BMW X5L model. You know, thanks to the BMW X5L domestic production, no tariffs, no transportation costs, the price will also have up to 150,000 down. In this way, after the fierce confrontation between the Audi Q7 and the BMW X5 (import), another "alignment" drama will be staged in the domestic model.
Judging from the information released so far, SAIC Audi Q6 has shown good product competitiveness, and the larger body size data and more practical six- and seven-seat layout also make it more competitive than the domestic BMW X5L.
Of course, due to the weak premium ability of the Audi brand, if you want to compete with the domestic BMW X5L all the time, you must retain a large preferential range in the follow-up market.
Looking forward to follow-up information.
