In December last year, the Audi A4L completed a facelift, although it continued to launch the 35 TFSI model (that is, the 2.0T ultra-low power version), but recently we learned that the current 2022 35 TFSI model is in the state of discontinuation and on sale, the official guidance price is 306,800, taking the Beijing area as an example, there is a comprehensive offer of 58,300, after the discount is 248,500. So, for those who are interested in the Audi A4L car and pursue cost-effectiveness, is it worth it to copy the bottom of the 35 TFSI model now?
In terms of price, the 40 TFSI model is even more favorable
First of all, from the price point of view, after the discontinuation of the 35 TSFI (150 horsepower) model, the low-end of the 2022 Audi A4L became a 40 TFSI (190 horsepower) model, and the official guidance price of the latter was 321,800, also in beijing, the discount for the 40 TFSI model reached 61,100, and after the discount, it was 260,700.
That is to say, the 40 TFSI model is even more favorable, and after its discount, it is only 12,200 more expensive than the 35 TFSI model. The difference of 12,200, in terms of configuration, the gap between the two is not large, and they are equipped with front and rear reversing radar, reversing image, automatic parking, panoramic sunroof, sports appearance kit, one-button start, steering wheel shift, 12.3-inch full LCD instrument, imitation leather seat, main co-driver electric adjustment, 10.1-inch central control touch screen, LED high beam light, automatic air conditioning, etc.
Compared with the low-end of the 40 TFSI model, the extra configuration has 18-inch wheels (17 inches for the 35-TFSI model), and automatic parking is optional, and the rest is no different. It can be seen that the configuration of the two versions is roughly the same, and there is no choice because of the configuration. Therefore, this difference of 12,200 is mainly the difference in power.
150 horsepower 2.0T power, suitable for a small number of people
The same 2.0T engine, one is a maximum power of 150 hp, peak torque of 270 Nm; the other is a maximum power of 190 hp, peak torque of 320 Nm, also matched with a 7-stop wet dual-clutch transmission. According to official data, the zero-hundred-hundred-second acceleration time of the 40 TFSI model is 8.2 seconds, while the 35 TFSI model is a full 1.5 seconds slower to 9.7 seconds.
For a luxury B-class car, the acceleration of nearly 10 seconds is a bit of a "drag", but if it is a friend who has no requirements for power, such as a female car owner, in fact, the performance of the 35 TFSI model is enough. For most people, the 40 TFSI model is more worth recommending. There are several reasons, one of which is that this is a luxury B-class car of nearly 4.9 meters, with 17-inch wheels, and a 225/50 R17 tire, which is actually not a good match, from the appearance to the handling, the 18-inch specifications of the 40 TFSI model are more suitable. If you start a 35 TFSI model and upgrade the tires and wheels separately, at least not less than 5,000, 6,000 yuan. So, is it really cost-effective to choose the 35 TFSI model?
Ah Chuan commented on the car
Regarding Audi's choice to discontinue the 35 TFSI model this time, I personally feel that this is also the inevitable result of market demand. Just like the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, the whole series is equipped with 1.5T power, although the performance data is not inferior to Audi's 2.0T ultra-low power engine, but it is still a slot point. In other words, is the 2.0T at 150 hp fragrant? It may still be difficult for many people to accept. Therefore, spending a little more cost, horsepower and displacement, is the right solution.
