The "biggest" Audi SUV is coming.
Recently, SAIC Audi officially revealed part of the information about the upcoming new Audi Q6. Although the Beijing Auto Show has been postponed due to the epidemic, it is not yet known when we will be able to see the real appearance of the real car, but the information that has been revealed so far can let us understand the general appearance of this new car.
Saic Motor Audi Q6 is designed by the German Audi design team, incorporating the image of the Unicorn, a Chinese mythological element, with a straight posture and straight lines.

Highlights of the design details include the family-style chrome octagonal grille design of the front face, and the use of through-led strip design elements for the first time in Audi. The vertical air intake element is used under the headlight group, which can better reflect the sense of stability and solemnity similar to a large building.
Coming to the side of the car, you can see Audi's classic blade-shaped color-blocking D-pillar, and inlaid with the Audi logo. Of course, the most noteworthy thing is the volume of the new Q6, which is 5099mm long, 2014mm wide and 1784mm high, which is the largest SUV model of the Audi brand in the world, and more importantly, it is slightly larger than the potential competitor - the domestic BMW Brilliance X5L.
In the rear part, the through-line streamer LED taillights equipped with SAIC Audi Q6 have dynamic light effects, and can also project the red light and shadow of the word "quattro" on the rear tail window when braking, which is also the first time that the Audi brand has adopted this light effect, and I don't know if it will become a typical design of other Audi SUV models.
The cabin interior has not yet been officially announced, but SAIC Audi revealed some details. The seat layout is available in 2+3+2 or 2+2+2 options, making it the only BBA model to offer a six-seater option, and other luxury brands are also rare to offer a six-seater medium- and large-sized SUV. In addition, in terms of seat technology, its surface is stitched with diamond-shaped grains, and it is embellished with contrasting hand stitching, which not only takes into account the visual beauty, but also strengthens the overall support.
The powertrain uses the fourth-generation imported EA888 engine, yes, the same engine used by the latest Macan. The high-power version has a maximum power of 195kW and a peak torque of 400Nm, which is slightly better than several high-power tuned versions of BMW's B48. In addition, the low-power version of this engine also reaches a maximum power of 170 kW.
The matching transmission model and information about the quattro four-wheel drive system have not yet been officially announced. However, the official revealed that the V6 engine is also an option that can be introduced in the future.

One last question, price. SAIC Audi said that the starting price is expected to start at 550,000, considering that the starting price of the domestic BMW Brilliance X5L is only 605,000, and the power data of the BMW B48B20G engine is slightly higher than the data of the EA888 fourth-generation machine low-power version. Therefore, the pricing space left for saicel Audi Q6 low-power version is relatively limited, and its main sales model may also be a 45TFSI model, that is, an EA888 high-power model.
SAIC Audi Q6 has completed the declaration of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, but due to the impact of the serious epidemic, the progress of SAIC Audi's product testing, production and release has been affected to a certain extent. The good news is that Shanghai's automotive supply chain has begun to gradually resume work and production, and I believe that SAIC Audi Q6 will meet with you in the near future.
