As we all know, Maybach is a super luxury brand under Mercedes-Benz, and its grade is even slightly higher than Rolls-Royce. For various reasons, maybach was forced to stop production. Today, Mercedes-Benz has put its value to the fullest use, creating the Maybach series and becoming the new flagship model. Today, Mercedes-Benz Maybach S-Class has not encountered competitors, Germany original factory every four Maybach S-Class production, there are three shipped to China, of which maybach S680 also need to increase the price of 800,000 -1 million yuan to pick up the car, such a price has been higher than the ultra-luxury model Bentley Flying Spur.
Recently, Audi also released the new Audi A8L Horch version, and the new car is further extended on the basis of the A8. Its wheelbase has been lengthened by 130 mm, and the body length has reached 5.45 meters, which can clearly be seen that the rear doors have become longer. In addition, the new car also inlaid with Horch's exclusive badge in the C-pillar, side fenders and other places to highlight its noble status. And there is only one competitor after its listing, that is, the Mercedes-Benz Maybach S-Class.
However, the Audi A8L Horch version may not be the opponent of the Mercedes-Benz Maybach S-Class, because the Audi A8 is often shorter in front of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, whether it is the sense of grade or sales performance, the Audi A8 has no chance of winning. Mercedes-Benz has reached its peak in terms of brand premium, coupled with the aura of the "first brand" in the automotive industry, it can once dominate the luxury car market. It's just that the capacity of the Maybach S-class is in short supply, which gives the Audi A8L Horch version an opportunity.
From the appearance point of view, the Audi A8L Horch version of the aura is very strong, not losing to the Mercedes-Benz Maybach S-Class. In addition to the Horch's exclusive badge on the body, the new car features a larger, multilateral grille and is equipped with "big pie" wheels, which are different from the wheel shape on the Maybach S-Class. The "white ear" rearview mirror also appeared on this car, once again verifying the statement that "the white ear Audi is not good". At the same time, Audi also brought two exclusive paints for the A8L Horch Edition, cloud rain gray and oak green, to show the unique identity of the new car.
In terms of interior, the front row is exactly the same as the Audi A8, and there is nothing to say. The biggest highlight is still concentrated in the rear row, because the wheelbase has been lengthened by 130 mm, so the improvement in the riding space is immediate, and the overall luxurious atmosphere is very strong. But compared with the Maybach S-Class, it always feels a star and a half worse, perhaps because of the existence of the concept of "preconceptions", or perhaps Mercedes-Benz is indeed superior in the creation of a luxurious atmosphere.
Today, Mercedes-Benz has the Maybach S-Class, Audi has the A8L Horch version, bmw has what? You know, Maybach is the ultra-luxury brand of Mercedes-Benz, and Horch was also a top luxury brand in Europe born in the early 20th century. Both of the top luxury brands have one thing in common, both named after the founders of Mercedes-Benz and Audi. Among them, Willem Maybach is not only one of the three main founders of Daimler-Benz, but also one of the inventors of the world's first Mercedes-Benz car. August Horch founded Audi himself. BMW, on the other hand, has no top luxury car brand except Rolls-Royce, and Rolls-Royce was founded by the British. Even if BMW launches a 9 series, it cannot match the Mercedes-Benz Maybach S-Class and audi A8L Horch version, after all, it has not experienced the baptism of history.
