Audi Q8 was recently launched, priced at 786,800-1,084,800, as a flagship product with a higher positioning and more personality than Q7, Audi Q8 also has a noble pedigree. The most individual and direct competitor in the same class is the X6 from BMW, which is also a 3.0T+8AT powertrain, so who is the more comprehensive product.
First of all, in terms of positioning, Audi Q8 and BMW X6 both belong to sports medium and large SUVs, and the price part of Audi Q8 is 786,800-1,084,800, while BMW X6 is 799,900-975,900. And because both cars have a lot of discounts, they are also relatively close in the final landing price. At the same time, in terms of body size, the Audi Q8 has a better body length and wheelbase, and it is a conventional SUV shape, so there is more space in the car. The BMW X6 is ahead in the body width and height part, but it is a coupe SUV shape, and the passenger space part is slightly cramped, but it is also incomparable to the Audi Q8 in the personalized part.
When ordinary users buy a car, they still attach great importance to their appearance. For millions of users, brand and appearance are more important. Especially in recent years, the BBA brand has gradually separated from the group in terms of design, and the design is more advanced and individualized, which has also made many netizens raise objections.
Audi Q8 is still a familiar feeling, as a mid-term facelift model, is still a familiar feeling, Audi in the design of the sense of order and technology grasp is also in place at the moment, the new model is in the details of the continuous optimization, such as the grille, front bumper and other parts, so that the new car sports atmosphere is more sufficient. As a lamp factory, the Audi Q8 top model light group is upgraded to a low-beam high-definition matrix LED light group, the high beam is a laser headlight, and the tail light is an OLED light source, and the effect after lighting can still be described as outstanding.
BMW X6 is still in place in terms of overall proportions, after all, in the level of medium and large coupe SUVs, BMW X6 can be said to be the ancestor level. However, the classic "angel eye" headlights were abandoned, but fortunately, the redesigned front and rear bars still have a strong sporty atmosphere. At the same time, the side and rear of the vehicle can still be described as sexy, which may be the charm of a coupe SUV.
With a million-dollar budget to be able to consider these two models, it is natural that there are certain requirements for vehicle handling and driving pleasure, and these two models will not disappoint either. The first is the Audi Q8, which is based on the MLB Evo platform, and the models born from this platform include the Touareg, Cayenne, Urus, etc., in addition to the Q8, which is not only a symbol of status, but also a demonstration of its own strength.
In terms of power, the Audi Q8 provides four generations of EA888 and EA839 power options, of which the EA839 3.0T V6+48V mild hybrid power can burst out of 340Ps horsepower, with a peak torque of 500N·m, matched with a Tiptronic 8-speed automatic manual transmission, and standard equipped with a quattro full-time four-wheel drive system and adaptive air suspension system with a mechanical torque limited-slip differential. In terms of driving characteristics, the Audi Q8 is still relatively lazy in comfort mode, but in dynamic mode, the horsepower of 340Ps is matched with the adjustment of the multi-link suspension and the air suspension, giving people a very strong confidence and unhurried feeling. In addition, the characteristics of the same platform and suspension form are very similar to those of the Q8 in daily driving, and it does not put too much pressure on the driver, making it very easy to control. Of course, the surprise of URUS will be even greater in the limit state.
The BMW X6 offers a 2.0T and 3.0T L6+48V mild hybrid power combination, of which the 2.0T has a maximum horsepower of 258Ps, and the 3.0T L6 version has a maximum horsepower of 381Ps. The chassis suspension part of the BMW X6 is a front double wishbone rear multi-link suspension, and the tuning style does not have to worry, the soft driving quality can be taken into account, and the movement can be sharp over the corner, but the road feeling of the chassis in the daily driving part is slightly clearer. In terms of handling and fun, the BMW X6 is also very pleasant, and because of the coupe SUV model, the body attitude and lightness in continuous corners, the center of gravity of the BMW X6 shifts more coherently and quickly. Although in terms of curb weight, the BMW X6's 2885kg is slightly heavier than the Audi Q8's 2815kg, which may be the result of the difference between the model positioning and the brand tuning.
Needless to say, the interior part is still a familiar feeling, the virtual cockpit is very characteristic in the creation of a sense of science and technology, but there is still a lot of room for improvement compared with the leading new energy models in the actual experience. The BMW X6 adopts the latest dual-screen design style of the BMW family, although the dual-screen is no longer the mainstream design, but it can be seen that BMW is always evolving and trying to keep up with the mainstream demand. And the latest iDrive 8 system has made great progress in intelligent voice interaction and in-car function control, which has obvious advantages compared with Audi Q8.
At the same time, the above has already explained the fun of the two models, so it is natural to have its own advantages in taking into account the family part. The first is the space part, both cars are medium and large SUV models, daily passenger space does not have to worry, and the ISOFIX child seat interface in the rear of the two cars is also exposed, which is very convenient for daily loading and unloading of child safety seats. In terms of trunk volume, the Audi Q8 has a volume of 605L-1755L, while the BMW X6 has a trunk volume of 570L-1450L, which is also a partial sacrifice for the coupe-style styling. However, in terms of expandability, the trunks of the two cars support the rear seats to be divided and folded, and it is easier to occasionally carry large items or strollers.
Overall, in terms of the current sales and popularity of the two models, many users seem to have forgotten their existence, especially the BMW X6 model. But in fact, Audi Q8 and BMW X6 are the brand's painstaking works, especially Audi Q8 is positioned as a personalized sports SUV model, but it can be said to be very balanced in performance, space, configuration, chassis, appearance, etc., and it is a product that can take into account both family use and fun. BMW X6 Whether it is power, chassis or coupe SUV styling design, personality elements account for a larger proportion, but daily practicality is actually very sufficient. If you choose only two models, the Audi Q8 and the BMW X6, then the "bucket" attribute of the Audi Q8 will be stronger.
