Audi A6L is a well-known model in China. Whether in terms of brand awareness or the popularity of the model, the Audi A6L can be called a real success. Even if it is a child, if Dad opens the "Four Circles", he can't help but show off to his partners. Although in the camp of high-end cars, there are many prices far more than A6L, but it does symbolize a certain identity and status in the minds of many Chinese.
● The appearance is still a big brand, and the lighting effect is eye-catching
The slender body is like stretched limbs, elegant and strong, but definitely not the kind of muscular, the posture of the Audi A6L is always so lightweight, even if it hides an impassioned "heart", it still looks calm and calm. Do you think it's really not in the limelight? Wrong! It's just another way of getting attention, and even if it's not avant-garde or exaggerated, you can't ignore its existence.
The 09 Audi A6L has not changed much in appearance, and still maintains the original calm and steady, not so much a change, but more color and decoration. If the previous Audi A6L was a mature middle-aged man, then today's 09 Audi A6L has added some elements that can impress a younger group.
The most notable feature is the addition of LED daytime running lights to the "lower eyelids" of the headlights, so you can experience this finishing touch even during the daytime, and when the light fades down, the A6L has an indescribable temperament against the backdrop of the body paint. Although this effect has long been experienced on the new A4, imported A5 and R8 abroad, the 09 Audi A6L is the first model in the domestic Audi to use daytime running lights.
The new sporty bumper, which is similar to the personality style version, has changed little, but it is still refreshing when you look closely, adding some youthful and powerful air to the calm A6L.
The new taillights surround the LED light clusters, and the effect is quite eye-catching when night falls, and the series of taillights is sure to be the most eye-catching in traffic jams.
If evaluated purely from the appearance of the change, the changes of the 09 Audi A6 are minimal, but it is these small changes, such as the use of front and rear LED light clusters, that make the overall effect a great difference. ● The details of the interior have been changed to enhance the sense of class
There are two things that attract me the most about the interior, one is the wood grain decoration of the primary color Qin wood (optional), which exudes a pure natural atmosphere in the solemn and elegant. Without the layer of lacquer on the surface, the wood decoration returns to its essence, truly reflecting the effect of upgrading and decoration.
In addition to this optional wood grain decoration, the standard is mahogany wood grain, and there is also a birch wood grain option, if you choose between the two styles, I will not hesitate to choose the primary color wood grain style.
The second thing that attracted me was that the trip computer replaced the original red screen with a new color display, which was completely out of the same level in terms of clarity and color effect. In fact, many models of Volkswagen and Audi are using the original red screen, such as A4 and Magotan, but this time the Audi A6L has finally gotten rid of this design, which is deeply gratifying.
In addition to these two points, there are some small changes in the interior details, such as the adjustment knobs of the power mirrors and the light adjustment knobs are chrome-plated edging to add a sense of sophistication.
Although the dual DVD display is optional, it looks really classy. However, under the appearance of the scenery, we found that the assembly of this screen is too simple, and we can directly unplug it and see the rough jacks and wiring, I don't know if it will be improved on the real production car. ● The space has not changed, and the technical equipment has been added
The '09 Audi A6 only has a change in length, with an increase of 23mm, while the rest of the body dimensions remain the same. Therefore, the interior space is the same as the old model, spacious enough and comfortable enough.
The seats of the Audi A6L have always been relatively comfortable, and although the space in the rear row is a bit small with the addition of dual DVD displays, it has no effect on the actual ride.
The seat can meet the needs of almost most bodies, and the softness and elasticity are moderate, and the comfort is involuntarily nostalgic. Moreover, it is worth mentioning that the electric adjustment function of the A6L front seats is controlled separately, and the front and rear and backrest angles can be adjusted at the same time, while on some models, if you toggle the adjustment keys for the front and rear and backrest angles at the same time, the seats will be stunned and completely immobile.
While the space is so spacious, it's not as satisfying in terms of storage design as comfortable. There are two cup holders in the front row, but one of them is hidden in the central armrest box and can only be used when it is opened, which means sacrificing the function of being an armrest at the same time, so you can't have the best of both worlds.
But fortunately, there is a net pocket under the co-pilot's feet, and there is a small drawer on the left and right under the front seat, which is not bad, which makes up for the lack of cup holders to a certain extent.
The new Audi A6L has been significantly improved in terms of technical equipment, the first thing that needs to be mentioned is the side assist function, this system is mainly for overtaking and parallel rearview mirror blind spots, when pressing the switch on the center console, the small yellow light on the button lights up, and at the same time, there is also a row of small yellow lights on the inside of the rearview mirror on both sides, indicating that the system is activated.
Although it is activated, there is also a premise that it can only really work when the speed exceeds 60km/h and the turn signal is turned on. At this time, if there is a vehicle within about 50 meters of the front and rear or overtaking merging, the yellow light in the rearview mirror will flash at a higher frequency to remind the driver to pay attention.
The design of the warning lights is very scientific, as long as you look at the rearview mirror on both sides in the driver's seat, you can clearly see the yellow lights on both sides, and it is almost impossible to detect the presence of lights in the non-driver's seat.
Another more technical piece of equipment appears on the '09 Audi A6L 3.0TFSI, and that is the adaptive air suspension. Select the "car" button of the MMI system, and the central LCD screen will directly display the adjustment interface of the air suspension, which is divided into four states, namely high, comfortable, automatic and dynamic, and you can choose between several items by turning the central knob.
The solar sunroof with silicon battery pack is the concept of environmental protection, in the case of sufficient sunlight, the sunroof can convert light energy into kinetic energy, connected with the control unit in the car, and provide electrical energy for air conditioning, lighting system, audio, etc., and is also connected to the battery and cigarette lighter, in addition to effectively extending the service life of the battery to play a role in environmental protection and energy saving, in the hot summer, it can also reduce the temperature in the car by absorbing a lot of light energy. However, this sunroof has a disadvantage, that is, it can only open the sunshade and the sunroof glass at the same time, and cannot be carried out separately.
Summary of static experience:If you compare this 3.0TFSI with the old 3.2,The price has obviously increased a lot,Not including the rear audio and video system,The difference is 40,000 yuan,Even for a car of more than 600,000,It can't be said to be a small amount。 However, first of all, the power performance of the engine is not the same, and the output of the maximum torque of 34 horsepower is not a joke is also much earlier. At the same time, adjustable air suspension and lateral assistance systems have been added. The daytime running lights and new taillights make the charm of the new A6L more direct, and the transformation of some details makes the 09 A6L from the orthodox executive image to a younger and more impactful element, which may make its consumer group expand more to younger personal cars. For the 09 Audi A6L, perhaps we have already had visual fatigue on its 2.4L and 2.8L displacement tail logos, but why do we still want to look at its tail when every 09 model appears in sight?
Speaking of this displacement 09 A6L, it is definitely very interesting! First of all, from the level of the Audi family, the turbo technology that has been used for many years has been temporarily "abandoned" and replaced by the first supercharged direct injection engine technology used in more than 30 years FSI is the new A6L top-of-the-line model!
If you still have any doubts about the "T" designation, I will explain it again. Everyone knows that the "T" logo is synonymous with turbo technology, but it is not the case on the 09 A6L 3.OT, it turns out that this "T" is not the other "T", in fact, this letter represents the meaning of "engine forced air intake".
The two four-bladed rotating pistons in the supercharger of the new 3.0T engine rotate at speeds of up to 23,000 rpm, and the gap between the blades and the housing is only a few thousandths of a millimeter. The rotor can transmit 1,000 kg of air per hour. The two integrated aluminium water-cooled intercoolers are connected to a separate cooling circuit, through which the compressed hot air is cooled again, increasing the oxygen content of the air entering the combustion chamber. This series of measures minimizes the noise of the supercharger. (This paragraph is based on official sources)
Driving the A6L 3.0T on the road will be very confident and very feeling! First of all, the comfortable driving environment, you will feel that the objects in the car from your body to your hands are very stylish! The driving feeling is more in line with the original intention of comfort, here refers to the standard D gear, the lagged throttle response in this mode will not be forced by the discomfort of jumping forward and backward because of the rush or big foot throttle, on the contrary, the strong enough engine only allows you to gently put on the throttle to provide enough cruising speed, if you need to overtake, just slightly increase the force of the foot!
The 6-speed automatic manual transmission is very harmonious with the engine, basically, the shift after the 2nd gear is very small, under normal circumstances, the speed of 70 kilometers has been quietly raised into the 6th gear, and the speed is kept very low, so sitting in the car, the noise from the engine is not very large, which will be reflected in the noise test.
However, the state of the S gear is quite different, the gearbox seems to default to 3000rpm, as long as the speed is too low, it will respond to the shift, in this mode the throttle follow-up speed is much faster, although it is not considered a very thorough sport, but it can definitely make the driver excited!
It's the throttle that responds faster, and the gearbox changes faster than the same period last year, once you press the throttle deeply, the revs will immediately rise very high, and the increase speed is only a blink of an eye, and it is very common to exceed 4000rpm (after all, the starting point is very high). At this time, you can try two feelings, one is a quick oil retraction, reflecting the feeling of being played, and you can try again if you are not enough, and the other action is to continue the full throttle to let the "3.0T" fully explode! And what awaits you next is the take-off feeling of the front of the car slightly raised, and the obvious push back feeling will immediately stimulate your adrenaline!
09 A6L 3.0T is equipped with an adjustable air suspension system, with four adjustable modes of high position, comfort, automatic and dynamic, different ways will not only be reflected in the body height, but also in the daily driving of the road feel will be different, through the attempt, the feeling difference between comfort and dynamic mode is not particularly large, but the "dynamic" road feeling is slightly more direct, and the comfort mode is slightly tougher.
Even with the air suspension in dynamic mode, the '09 Audi A6L is not a master of intense driving, and the suspension travel limits its stance during winding, and you can clearly see that the roll is still noticeable when winding.
Of course, I don't deny the reaction of its steering when doing the action, and the pointing accuracy is not to say! During the period, the throttle response of the S gear is very sporty, but here it must not be a random big foot to step on the throttle deeply, otherwise the burst of "3.0T" will make it difficult for you to pass rhythmically in the next pile. In terms of parameters, the engine is also very powerful, 213KW/4850-6800rpm maximum power (290 horsepower), 420N·m/2500-4850rpm maximum torque, the official 0-100km/h acceleration time is 6.6 seconds, which is already very exciting! But here, I want to reveal one thing in advance, the above reported acceleration time seems to be a bit "conservative", in the test of Autohome, 09 Audi A6L The 3.0T ran faster results!
In the acceleration test, the Audi A6L 3.0T was able to get the most out of the Audi A6L 3.0T by turning off the suspension in Sport mode and switching the gear to "S". After full throttle, I thought that I could make a breakthrough in tire grip, but in fact, the 4 wheels still tightened the ground tightly, and there was no lack of grip.
The moment you release the brake pedal, 3. The OT does not immediately feel like an ejection, perhaps the engine protection is more prepared, so that the full throttle action is half killed in the response, however, this self-lax consciousness can only be maintained for a few tenths of a second, and then, the rev is instantly pulled up to more than 3000 rpm, as if the previous trip is completely false!
Soon, the speed entered the working range of the supercharger, and I was ejected from the driver's seat, and the state of hypoxia in the brain seemed to be the feeling of driving a sports car! I didn't have time to breathe, which is not an exaggeration! It was like this until 5000rpm, and once I got out of the supercharged range, the last little bit of rev climbing and then shifting gears was not so aggressive, so take a big breath......
In the end, the 09 Audi A6L 3.0T completed the 100 kilometers acceleration test in only 6.2 seconds! OT pre-market testing has increased the difficulty, so the values shown on the parameter sheet are very "conservative". 6.2 seconds, which is crazy enough for a mid-size car that takes the business route!
There were no surprises in the braking test, the Audi A6L's braking ability has been known from previous contacts, which is not the best compared to its competitors, but it is not weak, and after several tests, the distance of 40 meters is the best result of the period. Judging from the data alone, this result has reached an excellent level in the brake test standard of Autohome.
Despite the continuous performance test under full load, the car's performance does not fluctuate much, and if the average score is taken, the Audi A6L 3.0T also reaches 40.6 meters, which is still very good.
Let's take a look at the noise situation, for a model of the Audi A6L class, the importance of the interior environment seems to be at the top of the list! It can be less violent, it can not be so luxurious, but the ride environment must be good, and this includes space and noise suppression. Spatial performance has been discussed in the previous experience section, and the next step is to look at the noise after passing the actual measurement.
On a car-free stretch of road, the 09 Audi A6L 3.0T measured noise at 62.9 dB at 60km/h, 64.4 dB at 80km/h, 69.4 dB at 120km/h, and 46.2 dB at idle. It can be said that it achieves a high level of noise suppression at each stage.
D gear driving, 6-speed manual automatic transmission or from the comfort and economy, has been maintained in the high-end low speed state, so the engine noise is well controlled; in addition, the vehicle's sealing and sound insulation effect is also very good, sitting in the car, basically you can feel the wind noise and tire noise are better filtered again, the ability of the business model leader is indeed not ordinary, we will praise it again.
After coming into contact with the 09 Audi A6L 3.0T, it gave me a few outstanding feelings, and at the same time showed its shrewd side. First of all, the advantage of power, the 3.0T (supercharged) engine is not in vain, the strength of the display is absolutely capable of replacing the previous 4.2L naturally aspirated engine leader banner, its emergence is a breakthrough and innovation for the future development of Audi. In addition, the transformation of appearance is also very successful, younger, more up-to-date, presumably this will also expand some consumer groups.
And when it comes to shrewdness, Audi is a manufacturer with a deep understanding of China's national conditions, and even the consumption tax on large-displacement cars can be so easy, as the top model of A6L, the displacement of 3.0L is not excessive at all, and consumers do not need to consider additional expenditures; in addition, the price of 09 Audi A6L 3.0T has been adjusted by more than 100,000 yuan compared with the most luxurious A6L 4.2 models, which is simply good news for the rich boss who must pay attention to face!
Judging from the situation of the whole range of models, 09 Audi A6L has pulled the price front very open, the temptation of a minimum of 340,000 yuan will make many people's A6L dream simple, it is not difficult to guess that its 2.0T and 2.4 models will become the main sales force of the new generation.
