【Pacific Auto Network New Car Channel】On the evening of April 18, SAIC Audi brought the preview information of Audi Q6 in the Enterprising Live Broadcast Day, and the new car will be officially unveiled on July 6, and the expected starting price is 550,000 yuan. It is reported that SAIC Audi Q6 will be the largest SUV in Audi's history, and what is more exciting is that the new car will be the first domestic model equipped with the fourth-generation EA888 engine in China, and the engine will be introduced in the way of original imports.
In terms of overall design, the design inspiration of the Q6 also comes from the Mythical Beast of China - The Kirin. SAIC Audi integrates the elements of the Kirin into the details of the body, such as the mid-mesh, rearview mirrors, blade D-pillars and front and rear implementing headlights, etc., aiming to create a sense of majesty of the Audi Q6 in a unicorn posture.

Different from the administrative version of the declaration chart, the sports model in the trailer official picture uses a more beautiful middle net style, and the pattern of the "Y" type boomerang combination is very similar to the scales on the body of the divine beast unicorn. In addition, the sports model will also use more obsidian elements on the front face, sides, rear and logo, with a black roof design and black body exterior mirrors.
In terms of lighting, the front-through LED lights are the first time they have been used on Audi models. After all, the name of Audi's "lamp factory" is not a waste of time. Referring to the SAIC Audi A7L headlights, it is expected that the new car will also be equipped with intelligent laser headlight technology, and the longest illumination distance will reach 600m. After the P bright trailer official picture, we can faintly see that it seems to be equipped with lidar below. After all, lidar has also been equipped with domestic A7L, and to achieve higher-level driving assistance functions, the more expensive Audi Q6 will also be equipped.
As for the body side, after the original picture was "processed", we also saw more details, and the slight bulge of the new car through the entire waistline, with the large size of the rim, the muscle sense was fully displayed. Finally, it ends with a blade shape on the D pillar. At the wheel arch, the huge wheel eyebrow also makes it domineering. Through light and shadow, we can see that the luggage rack, roof and side skirt of the sports model are replaced by obsidian materials instead of chrome trims, which are more coordinated, and it is estimated that more consumers will be willing to choose the sports model.
The side lines of the body end in Audi's classic blade shape D-pillar, and the four rings embedded in it can be called the finishing touch of the entire side shape. It is worth noting that the sport blade D column in the official diagram is made of chrome, which is also different from the previous declaration drawing.
In terms of the rear, the new car uses a roof spoiler similar to Tuon, thick through taillights and a glowing tetracycline logo, making the entire tail very recognizable. However, the previous declaration chart did bury the appearance of the Q6 tail, compared to the front of the car, the rear of the Q6 can be regarded as a beautiful angle of the whole vehicle. I believe that SAIC Audi also thinks so, the forecast official diagram gave four tails, the front of the car gave one, and it was only a partial map.
You can see that in fact, the rear of the car is very layered, and a large number of exaggerated lines are combined into a very powerful and beautiful rear. It is reported that the through-type LED taillights also have dynamic lighting effects, which echo with the front through-type headlights, so that the visual effect of the rear of the car has a good improvement. The through-type taillights have a tendency to converge inwards to the AudiRing Logo, which further increases the stereoscopic visual effect of the tail.
The other tail figure can be seen in more detail after it is brightened, first of all, the fog lights and reflectors are distributed in a thin strip, distributed on both sides of the lower bumper, and there are elongated chrome trim strips connected. In addition, we can clearly see the obsidian movement wheels, which are much more atmospheric than the wheels in the declaration chart. In addition, the exhaust will adopt a hidden design, which is more in line with the style of the Audi Q6 that is more suitable for administrative business.
As an Audi light factory, the lighting is still the biggest highlight of the whole car. The Audi Q6 not only uses a penetrating taillight with dynamic effect, but also the word quattro and the light strip in the high brake light. Interestingly, the lighting effect is not a direct light effect, but through the device on the rear wing, the red light of the word "quattro" is projected on the rear tail window, which is the first time that audi models have adopted this technology, which is the unique configuration of the Audi Q6.
In terms of the interior, this time the official only gave a picture of the seat material, and we will pay close attention to the official news for more interior information. As for the seats, the official statement is that it will be equipped with first-class executive seats + Wagner leather seats, which is expected to have a good performance in terms of comfort. The material of the seat surface will be stitched with diamond diamond patterns and accented with contrast hand stitching.
The new car will provide a three-row optional 6/7 seat layout, in Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Audi's current medium and large SUV, 6/7 seat optional seats are also the first appearance of the configuration, its appearance in the field of large luxury SUVs for customers with different needs of another choice.
The high-power version of the SAIC Audi Q6 released this time is 195kW, with horsepower of 265Ps and torque of 400N·m, which is the same as the 2022 Porsche Macan that was already listed in China last year. It is worth noting that this engine also represents the highest level of the Volkswagen Group's current 2.0T engine. This is also the first time that a domestic model is equipped with a fourth-generation EA888 engine.
According to official disclosures, SAIC Audi Q6 will also provide a low-power version of the model, the entry-level low-power model will also reach 170kW, also the EA888 fourth-generation engine.

The third-generation machine 2.0T integrates the exhaust manifold into the cylinder head (domestic 1.8T does not have it), and this design can heat the machine faster.
5
Continental offers turbochargers that are more heat-resistant and do not suffer from the lack of turbine life of the three generations.
6
Internal friction is reduced, energy losses are reduced, and fuel consumption is reduced.
The overall structure of EA888 has been quite mature, although the new generation of engines in terms of power is not much improved, but the polishing of details, in addition to improving environmental efficiency, not only solves the defects such as burning oil before, but also prepares for the continuous improvement of future emission standards, and further extends the life of EA888.
