In my mind, this is the first time that Audi A4L has received so much praise!
Some say that the driving experience is close to that of BMW 3, some say that the front face makes people want to buy it, and some say that the built-in large screen is very easy to use. Is ABB’s ranking going to change?
Audi has figured it out. Instead of targeting mature people, why not just exercise to the end? Besides, shouldn’t mature people want to exercise?
The decentralization of the RS package is so wise. Compared with the old horizontal grille, it is hard not to fall in love with the honeycomb appearance of the facelifted front face. It lowers the visual center of gravity and looks younger. The A6L's attempt was very successful. The current face does not require surgery and represents Audi's new look.
The side of the car is no longer a waistline that stretches all the way to the bottom. It has both front and rear, but it is divided in the middle, which increases the sense of layering and modifies the proportions of the lengthened body, so just look at it from the side. Look, it’s hard to imagine that this is a B-class car, more like a C-class or D-class. This method of lengthening the visual center of gravity is very convenient. You can have a bad space, but you can’t look unattractive.
The 12.3-inch LCD instrument display is very good, and the 10.1-inch touch screen next to it also replaces all the functions of the MMI, so navigation, media, settings, and vehicle information can all be touched, and even added A little fingertip feedback, the functions in this screen are deeply customized by Android, and the overall usage experience is quite good. The UI interface of the screen is slightly messy but the functional areas are clearly divided. The lack of a ticking knob is indeed a bit unaccustomed, but seeing this position turned into a storage compartment, I think it’s understandable. Canceling MMI Maybe engineers think that MMI is rarely used in daily life, so it is better to leave it to more useful places.
In order to avoid being criticized by you for always talking about the top model, I test-drove the 45TFSI and 40TFSI versions of the A4L. Naturally, the high power of 252 horsepower does not need to be commented too much. The throttle adjustment is very sensitive. The engine output is also very linear. The front four-wheel drive does not swing too much even when starting. The upshift speed of the dual-clutch is very fast. The chassis is tight. To some extent, it makes people feel like driving the previous generation BMW 3. Unfortunately, However, the steering force of the steering wheel is still very Audi. Even though the feedback has increased significantly, the sense of communication with people is still lacking. This is the best feeling I have had since driving an Audi A4L in so many years.
The 190-horsepower medium-power version is the main sales model of the Audi A4L this time, so I must test drive this version. What I got was the 2020 40TFSI luxurious and elegant model with an official guide price of 343,800. That model's interior is not like the top model with carbon fiber trim panels, but this model uses imitation wood grain trim panels. To be honest, the wood is shiny and shiny, and the surrounding black soft bags make it look greasy, but it has complete functions. The necessary configurations are basically missing.
The throttle adjustment is indeed not as sensitive as high power. It obviously feels that the power in the front section is deliberately strengthened, giving you the illusion of strong power. Fortunately, the gearbox's intrusion at low speed reminds me that this is not the most powerful. version, this generation's chassis is very well made, tight, and the shock absorbers are relatively stiff for high-speed steering movements. It has small roll and good followability, which indeed shows Audi's ability.
But this four-wheel drive version is just a configuration to improve vehicle stability and handling. I don’t think it’s worth spending an extra 20,000 yuan.
On the way home, I saw a brand new A4L without a license plate. I glanced at the owner of the car. He looked about 30 years old, wore glasses, and was dressed very fashionably. He might be a newbie, and the speed of the car was so slow that it was disturbing. I want to help, but come to think of it, this may be the portrait of the owner of the new Audi A4L. A young white-collar couple, buying a car with the support of their parents, just want to choose one that looks good and has a stronger brand. , and then it needs to be a little more low-key
Here, let’s learn about Audi A4L
