When it comes to high-end luxury MPV, who comes to mind first? Presumably many people will think of Toyota Alpha or Lexus LM. Alpha's price in Japan is not expensive, the starting price is equivalent to more than 200,000 yuan, but after imported into China, the landing price exceeds 1 million, and the sales are not low, in Chinese mainland the annual sales of basically more than 20,000 vehicles, see alpha earn a lot of money, Audi can not sit still.
Recently, Audi unveiled the first large flagship MPV, the new car is based on the PPE platform, is expected to be launched in 2023. It is reported that the new car is 5510mm long, 2010mm wide, 1780mm high, wheelbase 3400mm, the new car is equipped with a front and rear dual motor four-wheel drive system, comprehensive power 295KW, maximum torque 690 Nm, the maximum mileage is expected to be 750 km.
Why does Audi, which has never made MPV, suddenly make MPV? In fact, this is just the beginning. Nowadays, it is a transition stage between oil and electricity, the era of oil cars does not make MPV does not represent the era of trams, if Audi's first MPV is successful, then Porsche and Bentley will most likely also launch MPV. In fact, there is nothing impossible in this world, as long as the market has demand, it will be inevitable for merchants to break history, and it turns out that high-end MPVs do have a market, just look at ElFale Lexus LM.
It is hard to believe that a 117-horsepower four-cylinder Lexus LM300 landing price is actually more than 2 million, the key is that there are many people to buy, you say angry people? The reason why Lexus launched MPV is because Alpha is too profitable, changing the shell and logo can make money, lexus can not let go? So if the Audi MPV is successful, the power level remains the same, Porsche and Bentley only need to change the shell and interior, and then the luxury MPV comes, just like the original Touareg.
Touareg's deluxe version is Bentayga, Touareg's sport version is Cayenne, Touareg's performance version is URUS, and according to Touareg's thinking, MPV can also be played this way. Before, could you imagine that Lamborghini would build an SUV? Nowadays, Lamborghini not only has an SUV, but also becomes the main force of the family, you know, the cross-border SUV is the first of the Porsche Cayenne, the SUV can be changed shell, why can't the MPV?
As for the price of this car, at present, Audi official did not disclose any information, we may wish to estimate it, it feels like the price of Alpha in The country is on par, even higher than Alpha, too cheap is certainly not OK, because the price is cheap and the local tycoons do not buy it at all, what do you think?
