Luxury cars within 500,000, Audi A6L and BMW 5 Series can be the representative models of first-line luxury cars. Although the market competition at this price is extremely fierce, the influence of BBA brand has always been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. After all, in the price range of 400,000-500,000, most consumers are mainly based on business needs, not only to have face, but also to show their economic strength. So who is better than these two modes? Let's go and have a look.
First of all, let's take a look at the Audi A6L, with a polygonal front grille and sharp split headlights on both sides, which looks very stereoscopic. At the same time, C-shaped chrome-plated decorative strips are added to both sides of the front enclosure, which makes the angular design style visually younger and more personalized.
On the side of the car body, the Audi A6L adopts a segmented waistline design with double five-spoke wheels, which is luxurious but unobtrusive. The simple and atmospheric tail shape is quite classic. As a so-called "lighting factory", Audi provides matrix led headlights and 900 kinds of interior atmosphere lights, which are quite recognizable after lighting. In terms of dimensions, the length, width and height of the Audi A6L are 5050/ 1886/ 1475mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 3024 mm ..
In terms of design, BMW 5 Series adopts a completely different design language from Audi A6L. The iconic kidney grille, with the flat split headlight group, has a more stable overall visual effect than the Audi A6L. Moreover, the BMW 5 Series models with sports kits also create a good sense of movement. The length, width and height of the car are 5106/1868/1490 mm, and the wheelbase is 3105 mm. Looking at the data alone, the size of the 5-series is indeed better than A6L, especially the long-axle model has a place in the luxury car camp.
Regarding the interior of the Audi A6L, I have three points to say: First, the three-screen design is really big enough, and the fluency and tactile experience are quite good; Second, the design is more humanized, and both the front row and the back row pay more attention to the immersive experience of the owner; Third, the seats are luxurious and comfortable, and the seats made of leather completely reach the interior atmosphere that a first-line luxury car should have.
Entering the BMW 5 Series, the most intuitive change is that the central control panel is increased from 10.25 inch to 12.3 inch, equipped with the latest iDrive7 on-board system, showing good playability and ease of use. But compared with the technology of Audi A6L virtual cockpit, BMW 5 Series is slightly better.
In terms of space performance, although both cars are positioned as medium and large cars, the body data of BMW 5 Series is also more advantageous, which naturally has a good space performance. My height is 1.8 meters. If I adjust the position of the front seat, I can still leave a fist and a half away from my head, while sitting in the back row with my legs crossed, my legs can still leave more than 20 centimeters. In addition, the material of BMW 5 Series is relatively solid, at least in the short-distance driving range, there will be no uncomfortable feeling.
For 400,000-class luxury models, the configurations of the two cars are basically very different. However, the configuration of Audi A6L is richer, especially the design of virtual cockpit, which is definitely the best in its class. From the point of view of human-computer interaction, the user interface of MINI system is simple and the function configuration is advanced.
In terms of power, Audi A6L offers three models: 2.0T low-power 40 TFSI model, high-power 2.0T low-power 45 TFSI model and 3.0t V6555tfsi model. Among them, the 40TFSI model is equipped with a 2.0T low-power engine, with a maximum power of 190 HP and a peak torque of 320n·m；; ; The 45TFSI model is equipped with a 2.0T high-power engine with a maximum power of 224 HP and a peak torque of 350n·m；; ; The 55TFSI model is equipped with a 3.0T V6 engine and a +48V micro-mixing system, with a maximum power of 340 HP and a peak torque of 500 N m. The transmission systems are all matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox.
As a powerful BMW, the BMW 5 Series is equipped with a 2.0T high and low power engine. Maximum power 135kW and peak torque of 2.0T low-power engine are 290n·m；; ; 2.0T high-power engine has a maximum power 185kW and a peak torque of 350 N m. The transmission system is matched with an 8-speed automatic manual transmission.
Power performance is of course the strength of BMW 5 Series. The whole system is equipped with a 2.0T engine, driven front and rear, with strong power, soft feedback and precise steering. The driving quality is absolutely the highest in its class, and the handling experience is better than A6L. At least I have tested so many models, BMW still has no choice in driving experience and mechanical performance. Audi A6L adopts front and rear five-link independent suspension. Although the stability is good, the control experience is still not good. The overall adjustment has also created a very relaxed driving experience.
Judging from the manufacturer's guide price, the starting price of Audi A6L is slightly lower than that of BMW 5 Series. However, according to the latest sales data of 5438+ 10 in June, the monthly sales volume of BMW 5 Series is 12233, while the monthly sales volume of Audi A6L is only 8458. It can be seen that the reputation and popularity of BMW 5 Series is higher than that of Audi A6L.
On the whole, BMW 5 Series has always adhered to the essence of sports, showing strong sports genes in both power performance and handling performance. On the other hand, Audi A6L pays more attention to consumers' actual feelings, and consumers who like technology can consider it. How to choose in the end still depends on your needs.
