Frameless doors grab the camera, and the double-face shape enriches the user's choice
In the face of young people's aesthetic fatigue, although SAIC Audi A7L has abandoned the positioning of coupes for market considerations, there is no big slip, but there are not many elements of youth, personalization and sports.
The hexagonal grille on the front face of the SAIC Audi A7L, coupled with two sharp headlight sets, combined with the wide-body low-lying body design, has a strong visual impact.

When you run at high speed, the speed reaches 120km, and the active air suspension system will work, lowering the body by up to 10mm to improve aerodynamic performance and enhance the stability of the vehicle. Conversely, in the case of bad road conditions, the control unit uses suspension to soften to improve the shock absorption effect, and the body can be increased by up to 20mm, improving the comfort and passability of the driving and riding. And, it's an intelligent adjustment process, with each air spring individually and adaptively adjusting the internal air pressure, providing the best body height for all driving conditions.
In most urban road conditions, many times the speed is less than 60km, in the right angle bend and U-turn, etc., the dynamic all-wheel steering system will make the front and rear wheels of the car reverse rotation, the angle of up to 5 degrees, the minimum turning diameter is reduced to about 11 meters, that is to say, the LENGTH of more than 5 meters SAIC Audi A7L, with the assistance of the all-wheel dynamic steering system, the turning radius can reach the level of A-class cars, which is very practical in the basement or narrow road conditions. When the speed exceeds 60km, the rear wheels rotate in the same direction as the front wheels, which enhances the stability and flexibility of the SAIC Audi A7L when changing lanes and overtaking.
