Kirin has been a bit on fire lately.
This beast, which has been repeatedly mentioned in ancient texts such as "Spring and Autumn", "Book of Song", "Lingxian" and so on, not only appeared in "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them 3" in 2022, but also appeared on the SAIC Audi Q6.
On April 18, SAIC Audi released the trailer of its new product Audi Q6 in the form of live broadcast, although the overall feeling of "holding the pipa and half covering the face" gives people a feeling, but from the information revealed by the Audi official, it is not difficult to see that there are many creative and breakthrough things on this new body.
In terms of design, Audi's designers finally used the Qilin as inspiration to design China's exclusive Audi Q6 after traveling around the major historical capitals of China, such as the Audi Four Rings embedded near the D pillar to reconstruct the Qilin from the image.
As a "light factory", Audi will naturally make a big fuss on the lights of the Audi Q6.
The first is audi's first front-to-back through LED lighting scheme used on the model, especially the streamer LED taillights with dynamic lighting effects, bringing tension-rich visual effects. Then there is the rear rear wing quattro projection brake light, which is also used for the first time on the product, which can project a red "quattro" character on the rear tail window, which is full of ritual.
And unexpectedly is the size of the Audi Q6, the parameters are 5099mm, 2014mm, 1784mm, the wheelbase is 2980mm, in terms of body length, width and height, the performance of audi Q6 is a bit exaggerated, has exceeded the recently listed domestic BMW X5, in the conventional sense, people prefer to put BMW X5 and Audi Q7 together to compare. Today, the Audi Q6 has become Audi's largest SUV model, and the BMW X5 has ushered in a new "fierce enemy" in the Chinese market.
It is worth mentioning that as a medium and large SUV, Audi Q6 is the only model in the BBA with 6/7 seats to choose from, if it is a multi-population family, the natural 7-seater model will be more practical, if you pursue a more flexible rear space, 6 seats is a good choice. Chinese consumers' high demands for space are well known, and Audi is still the "Audi that knows the most Chinese".
In terms of interior, there is no more accurate information at present, the official said that the Audi Q6 will be equipped with first-class executive seats and Wagner leather seats, as can be seen from the only seat details, the breathable leather punching process coupled with the exquisite stitching design interprets the texture that should be a luxury brand seat.
The focus is on the power performance of the Audi Q6.
The Audi Q6 will be imported from the original and will be equipped with porsche Macan "same model" fourth-generation EA888 series engines. EA888 series engine can also be regarded as Chinese's "old friend", known as the "god machine" reputation in the industry, has a very large installed capacity, the technology is very mature.
However, the current domestic mainstream Volkswagen, Audi products are basically the use of the third generation of EA888 engine, Audi Q6 is the first time in Audi domestic models to use the fourth generation of EA888 engine products, I believe that Audi Q6 can bring a different driving experience to Chinese consumers.
In terms of parameters, the low-power version of the Audi Q6 entry-level model is equipped with a maximum power of 170kW, the maximum power of the high-power version of the engine is 195kW, the maximum horsepower is 265Ps, and the peak torque is 400N·m. Among the same displacement, the power of the fourth-generation 2.0T EA888 engine is one of the best.
It is worth mentioning that the Porsche Macan 2.0T version completes the acceleration process from 0km/h to 100km/h as fast as 6.2s, Audi Q6 and Porsche Macan positioning, body weight, etc. Although different, this fourth-generation EA888 engine can play what kind of performance on it is still worth looking forward to.
In addition, Audi Q6 is based on the MQB Evo platform to build, there is news that it will be officially listed in the second half of this year, according to the previous experience of Audi A7L, SAIC Audi is likely to introduce a six-cylinder large-displacement engine for the Audi Q6 in the future After all, competitors such as BMW X5 also have a 3.0T version.
In recent years in the high-end automobile market, the BBA has basically formed a stable and mature competition system, the addition of SAIC Audi is tantamount to breaking the original balance to some extent, and the arrival of SAIC Audi's domestic large-scale SUV - Audi Q6 will greatly affect saic oil Audi's follow-up play in the Chinese market.
Although more information about the Audi Q6 still needs to wait for the official disclosure of SAIC Audi in the future, there are highlights such as "Audi's largest SUV" and "the fourth generation of EA888 engine domestic Audi first ride", Audi Q6 can be said to have satisfied the appetite of the audience, and there is speculation that its pre-sale price may be 550,000.
On the day of the live broadcast, the Audi Q6 was also unveiled with the audi audi a7L paladin version and the previously listed Audi Q5 e-tron. Among them, the two special edition models of the Audi A7L are priced at 519,900 yuan, and B&O 3D surround sound, intelligent parking, quattro intelligent four-wheel drive, and other configurations have been added on the basis of the fifteen standards of 45TFSI models.
After years of preparation, in 2022, SAIC Audi finally ushered in the moment of "thick accumulation and thin hair", from the audi A7L renewal, the Audi Q5 e-tron listing to today's Audi Q6, SAIC Audi's product lineup is gradually filling up, facing the competition from the high-end market is more confident.
