Before the domestic BMW X5 was listed, the price of the entry-level configuration version of the car was only 558,000 yuan, which made many people who gave up the BMW X5 because of the price feel that they were ok again. However, when BMW officially announced the price of the domestic BMW X5, its starting price of 605,000 yuan was lower than that of the imported BMW X5, but it was also much higher than the 558,000 yuan spread on the Internet, and in the end it was just an empty joy.
Is the dream of 550,000 large-scale SUVs bought in first-line luxury brands shattered? BMW is definitely out of play, but Audi is not sure. Audi will soon release a medium and large SUV in China - Audi Q6, which may sell for about 550,000 yuan.

The domestic BMW X5 did not fulfill the dream, and the Audi Q6 came round
At present, the Audi Q6 has appeared in the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, indicating that it is not far from listing. As a special supply car in China, audi Q6 fully meets the interests of the Chinese people in terms of body size, and its length, width and height are 5099x2014x1784mm, and the wheelbase is 2980mm. The size of the Audi Q6 exceeds the current Audi flagship SUV Q7, and also exceeds the domestic BMW X5.
In terms of appearance, Audi Q6 has two styling styles, administrative and sports, the main difference is the detailed design of the front and rear of the car, as well as the difference between the decorative parts and wheels. The executive version of the grille is a vertical matrix design, with T-shaped decorations at the imitation air intakes on both sides, silver strip decoration on the lower rail, silver strips on the roof rack, with five-panel two-sided wheels; and the rear bar is also decorated with silver strips. The sport version of the grille is a transverse Y-shaped array design, with black vertical wind blades at the imitation air intakes on both sides, black front lip on the lower guard bar, black body trim, luggage rack, mirrors and wheel hubs, and a deflector design under the rear bar at the rear. Audi Q6 provides two designs, giving consumers one more choice, while the domestic BMW X5 only retains a sporty look, and consumers have no choice at all.
In terms of interior, from the exposed spy photos, Audi Q6 adopts a family design style. The steering wheel of the new car is the same as that of the Audi A7L, in addition, the center console is a three-screen interactive layout. In terms of seat layout in the car, the new car will provide a 7-seat layout of 2+3+2, which can meet more car scenes than the domestic BMW X5 with only 5 seats.
In terms of power, the Audi Q6 will be equipped with the fourth-generation EA888 2.0T engine, which will surpass the third-generation EA888 engine in performance and have better fuel economy. Among them, the high-power version has a maximum power of 195kW and a maximum torque of 400N·m, which is slightly stronger than the domestic BMW 2.0T version. In addition, the new car is also expected to introduce a six-cylinder engine in the future to further enrich consumer choices.
Through the analysis of audi Q6, it is not difficult to find that it has certain advantages over domestic BMW X5 in terms of body size, interior technology, number of seats and power, or becomes a good substitute for the latter, and the key price is cheaper.

The domestic BMW X5 is selling higher than expected, why not the Audi Q6
Some people may want to say that the domestic BMW X5 was also rumored to be sold for 550,000 yuan before it was listed, and the results proved that the rumors were inaccurate. So isn't that possible with the Audi Q6? Yipinjun believes that it is unlikely, based on the fact that Audi Q6 uses the MQB platform, not the MLB platform.
In Audi's naming system, the numbers behind the letters are bigger and more advanced. The main difference between high and low models is that one looks at the size and the other looks at the platform. For example, in Audi's SUVs, the Audi Q3 and below use the same MQB platform as the Volkswagen brand models, while the Audi Q3 and above models use the MLB platform built by the Volkswagen Group for Audi. But the arrival of the Audi Q6 broke this law, which belongs to the high-end model, using the MQB platform used by low-end cars. Saic-Volkswagen Tuon, which is almost the same as the Audi Q6 platform and body size, has a starting price of less than 300,000 yuan. Audi Q6 sold for 550,000 yuan has a lot of premium, absolutely no courage to sell higher prices. If the Audi Q6 has to sell high prices for "head iron", then consumers are definitely not used to it.
After digging deep into the Audi Q6, many people feel that the car is a hardcover "Volkswagen Tuang", and the favorability has dropped a lot in an instant. But it's still a good choice for those who want to buy a mid-sizeD SUV from a first-line luxury brand at a low price. Because of the face and space that consumers care about at this level, Audi Q6 can give it all. Although the MQB platform is not as good as the MLB platform, the former as a platform for the birth of almost all Volkswagen brand models, its comprehensive performance is not bad, as long as it is properly adjusted, it is completely enough for ordinary people. The main thing is that the MQB platform is the key to the price.
But for consumers who are not bad money, Yipinjun still recommends bmw X5, or Audi Q7 and Mercedes-Benz GLE. Although they will be a lot more expensive, the bottom is also worth the price. In addition, as a global model, these cars should meet the normal use of various countries and regions, so the performance in vehicle research and development, production process, vehicle safety and other aspects may be higher.
