Audi A6L and Volvo S90, how to choose?
It is said that this Audi is a big price cutter, often a new car on the market on the terminal discount, and therefore, many people who are not ready to change cars in a short period of time will prefer to choose an Audi A6L as a means of travel, and the name is also loud and luxurious enough. And when it comes to long-term car use and terminal discounts, Volvo S90 is also a good standing plan. Starting from these two cars, let's take a look at the Audi A6L 2024 45TFSI Zhenxuan Zhiya (guide price of 454,900 yuan / including insurance landing price of about 401,900 yuan) and Volvo S90 2024 B5 Zhiyuan luxury version (guide price of 450,900 yuan / including insurance landing price of about 402,400 yuan) at about 400,000 yuan, to see who is more cost-effective to choose this cost-effective luxury C-class car.
Visually, Audi A6L and Volvo S90 are taking a steady route, but in recent years, Audi A6L is trying to reduce the age, although it is still a classic hexagonal banner in the grid grille, but whether it is a streamlined matrix LED headlights, a small size of the sunken deflector, or the multi-layered structure of the rear bumper, Audi A6L will indeed be younger in expression. At the same time, the Audi A6L reaches 5038/1886/1475mm in length, width and height with a wheelbase of 3024mm, and the overall feeling is more upright.
The Volvo S90 has a lot of recognizable designs, but every one of them is more like a business style. The Scandinavian-style grille or waterfall, the hammer design in the headlights, and the three-dimensional C-shaped taillights on the side of the tailgate lid will make the car instantly recognizable, but both these structures and the chrome trim band that surrounds the vehicle's four zones give a sense of executive business. At the same time, the Volvo S90 reaches 5090/1879/1444mm measurements and a wheelbase of 3061mm, which will also make them look more slender and calm.
Entering the cockpit, both cars have a center console layout with a center tilt steering on the main driver's side, and a dual LCD screen layout, and the steering wheel and seats are covered by leather. In terms of decoration, the Audi A6L's large-area painted panels and some imitation carbon fiber finishes will give people an avant-garde refinement, while the Volvo S90 will continue the luxury business appearance into the cabin through special treatments such as wood grain trim and crystal material stop handles.
Specific to the on-board functions, both cars support CarPlay mobile phone interconnection, intelligent voice recognition and 4G+ car networking, among them, Audi A6L Audi Connect has not yet been upgraded, 12.3-inch digital instrument and 10.1-inch touch screen will also be laid out8.6-inch lower touch screen, it will be more convenient to operate, but the traditional UI design will seem a little old-fashioned, and the function will be limited to the car itself. In terms of assisted driving, in addition to the panoramic image, the Audi A6L only has active safety functions such as cruise control function and front collision warning, but the customizable driving mode with variable steering ratio technology will bring some solid fun in handling.
Volvo S90 has a combination of 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and longitudinal 9.0-inch touch screen, it is equipped with Android native in-vehicle system can support more in-vehicle ecological applications, in addition to Aiqu Listening and other APP, it can also be expanded through the Huawei App Store, and supports additional functions such as Tmall Genie, which is more modern than Audi A6L as a whole. In terms of assisted driving, although the Volvo S90 is only a basic reversing camera, it has received the City Safety system that supports L2 advanced driving assistance, and active safety systems such as lane merge assist, front and rear collision warning, and lane departure warning will make the vehicle's comprehensive safety to a higher level.
In terms of other configurations, the Audi A6L will have more optional configurations, including extended functions such as seat heating at an additional cost, and can expand the rear LCD screen, sunshades and other advanced accessories. However, the Volvo S90 is more standard, from the whole car sound insulation/rear privacy glass, induction tailgate, panoramic sunroof, and front seat leg rest/heating/memory and other functions, will make the cabin more luxurious, while Harman Kardon audio, with negative ion purification of the whole car independent air conditioning will further optimize the ride feedback.
In terms of power, both cars are equipped with 2.0T engines, of which the Audi A6L provides a power tuning level of 180kW/370Nm, and is matched with a 7-speed S-tronic dual-clutch transmission in the transmission, which breaks 100 in 7.4 seconds while controlling the WLTC comprehensive fuel consumption at 7.18L/100km, while the Volvo S90 gets 184kW/350N· The m output level, matched with the Aisin 8AT, is assisted by the B-ISG motor (48V mild hybrid), which allows the vehicle to achieve a higher performance of 7.2 seconds and control fuel consumption at a lower 6.75L/100km, which will improve the overall performance efficiency.
As for the chassis, the front and rear five-link independent suspension of the Audi A6L is better, or the front double wishbone + rear multi-link of the Volvo S90 is more stable, we are not very easy to say, but in terms of tuning style, the Audi A6L will be more solid and stable, and the Volvo S90 has a stronger sense of road, and the clear directivity is also lighter in the cornering support.
Write at the end
Audi A6L and Volvo S90 do have a similar side in positioning, and the business attributes are relatively strong, but in comparison, the Audi A6L with more personality will look younger, and the overall configuration specifications actually have more possibilities. However, in the case of 400,000 yuan landing, Volvo S90 has to perform better in terms of power performance and comprehensive configuration, and if you want to feel the full luxury of the C-class car, Volvo S90 will have a slight upper hand this time.
