Since Ma Long has played all over the world in the Tokyo Olympics, the Japanese media has been able to support the two-dimensional six-dimensional radar map of the "hexagon" to describe this table tennis god. Strength, speed, skill, serve, defense, experience, all aspects of ability value are off the charts, and the "hexagonal warrior" has also become synonymous with all-round.
Today, in the automotive world, there are many models that call themselves "hexagonal warriors", but there are only a handful of players who have truly reached the full level of multi-dimensional ability and value. Especially in the medium and large luxury SUV segment, in the face of BMW X5, Audi Q7, Volvo XC90 and other gods, the real "hexagonal warrior" Audi Q6, how does it hammer the luxury gods with an all-round attitude?
"Tarzan crushes the top" BMW X5
Both German SUVs, the Audi Q6 and BMW X5 have always been praised by car lovers for their driving charm. Although it has its own characteristics in terms of power handling experience, at a time when the diversified needs of consumers are increasing, the Audi Q6, which has more all-round attributes, can win the hearts of a new generation of middle-class and above family users.
For them, the quality of life and travel quality of their families must also be matched, and buying a car should not only be easy to drive, but also be able to meet the needs of their second/third-child multi-person families. Therefore, in the choice of travel tools, they will definitely give preference to luxury "first class" like Audi Q6, rather than "economy class" like BMW X5, which is slightly cramped in space. As the world's largest SUV of Audi, the body size of Audi Q6 reaches 5099*2014*1784mm, and the BMW X5 is only 5060*2004*1776.
And Audi Q6 is still the only large six-seater model of 50 to 600,000 level BBA, compared with the traditional 5-seat BMW X5, between the two "6" to "5", although only the number of "1" is more, but it solves many embarrassments in actual travel. Often because of the lack of this seat, the family will have to drive one more car and one more driver, and the emergence of Audi Q6 just solves this problem.
In the "luxury living room" enjoyed by the whole family, the Audi Q6 brings everyone a riding experience, which is a "first-class" VIP-style sense of luxury and ceremony. It has a 2-2-2 seating layout, and each seat is designed independently. In particular, the aviation-grade senior executive seats in the second row not only adopt ergonomic seat sponge foaming technology, the seat cushions are soft and delicate, and the support on both sides is strong, but also equipped with ventilation, heating, massage and other functions.
In contrast, the BMW X5 is not perfect in this regard, its models of the same level and price, not only do not have the massage function of the Audi Q6, but also the front seats are only heated without ventilation, and the second row seats also lack the heating function. In terms of privacy design, the Audi Q6 is equipped with multi-layer soundproof glass and rear privacy glass, which is completely absent on the BMW X5. Judging from the sense of luxury quality of the ride, the Audi Q6 can be described as a real "upgrade" type crushing.
"Below the gram" battle Audi Q7
Audi Q6 and Audi Q7 should be regarded as a pair of brothers of the same clan in a wealthy family. However, many people hear about these two cars for the first time, and often think that the former will be the smaller Audi Q7, but in fact, the "6" of Audi Q6 is larger than the "7" of Audi Q7, and the body size is 5099 * 2014 * 1784mm and 5067 * 1970 * 1740mm, saying that Audi Q6 is Q7 PLUS, as if it is more appropriate.
But do you just think that the Audi Q6 is just "on the bottom gram" on the grid? Then you are thinking too simply about this large 6-seater luxury SUV. Compared with Audi Q7, Audi Q6 has a more luxurious and luxurious cockpit, not to mention the aviation-grade senior executive seats in the second row, which is unique in the same class of models, and in the seat layout design of the second and third rows, it can be seen that the two cars have different definitions of comfort. The Audi Q7, which adopts a 2-3-2 seven-seat layout, has many common problems that are unavoidable for many seven-seat SUVs on the market, not only the third row is troublesome, but also in order to meet the seven-seat layout, the space of the second and third rows is forcibly compressed, and the third row is even more difficult to sit for a long time, and many times it is reduced to furnishings. The difference is that the third row design of the Audi Q6 is not perfunctory, not only the head and knees move freely, but also the cup holders, mobile phone holders, charging ports, reading lights, air conditioning vents and other configurations, every seat, every occupant is treated with equal respect and treatment.
Not only is it comfortable to sit, but in terms of configuration, Audi Q6 is by no means inferior to Audi Q7, and it is very cost-effective. For example, in the powertrain part, both cars use the mainstream 2.0T displacement, although they are equipped with the most advanced Porsche Macan EA888 Evo4 engine, but the Audi Q6 data and power performance is stronger, with a maximum torque of 400N·m, which is better than the 370N·m of the Audi Q7. In addition, the Audi Q6 uses a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, which is faster and sportier than the Audi Q7's 8AT.
It is worth mentioning that the Audi Q6 is the only model in its class to be equipped with variable suspension, which is also something that the Audi Q7 does not have. The advanced DCC adaptive dynamic adjustment function realizes different suspension characteristics of "soft and hard" by changing the damping of the shock absorber to correspond to six driving modes, including off-road, comfort, automatic, dynamic and personalized. For example, if you have family and friends sitting in the back seat, or important business guests, you can switch to a softer suspension and comfortable driving mode, which has more thorough shock absorption to ensure ride comfort.
"Dimensionality reduction strike" hammer Volvo XC90
Volvo XC90, which has been in the luxury camp for many years and has become a second-tier twilight veteran, can be said to be facing a "dimensionality reduction blow" in front of the Audi Q6, a "supermodel" with multi-dimensional capabilities. Not to mention that in terms of brand power and luxury, Volvo cannot speak the same day as Audi, in the face of real car value, Volvo XC90 has been fully crushed by Audi Q6.
In terms of size and space performance, Volvo XC90 seems to have been left far behind by luxury models of the same level, with a body size of 4953x1958x1778mm, which is far from the large size of Audi Q6 5099*2014*1784mm. Whether it is its five-seater or seven-seater model, in terms of ride comfort, it is also pulled down by the Audi Q6 by many distances. In order to reserve the necessary space for the third row of passengers, the second-row seats of the Volvo XC90 are still relatively forward, and the seat material is relatively thin, which is difficult to guarantee even the luxury comfort of the second row, let alone compared with the aviation-grade senior executive seats of the Audi Q6.
What's even more heart-wrenching is that the Volvo XC90 was once proud of its safety label is now compared to the Audi Q6. Compared with the same price model, the six-seater Audi Q6 is equipped with the AI Pro pilot package as standard, the body is surrounded by millimeter-wave radar and ultrasonic radar, multiple 360° cameras for the whole car to protect the whole car at all times, ACC+AEB safe cruise + lane change assistance + lane departure warning are readily available, compared to Volvo XC90, it is not even equipped with a basic 360° panoramic image. In terms of passive safety, the Audi Q6 is equipped with 9 airbags in its class, while the Volvo XC90 only has 6 airbags. For the protection of driving safety, Audi Q6 has really achieved the ultimate.
In the competition with the gods of luxury, although the Audi Q6 is only a junior in the car industry, it has become a powerful "hexagonal warrior", while inheriting the Audi brand's technological luxury and enterprising spirit, it truly considers the actual needs of consumers in the Chinese market. While also "exploding" the six-dimensional radar map, Audi Q6 also brought many welfare surprises such as a limited-time gift of up to 66,000 yuan, and did not hesitate to choose it.
