Why does the luxury car class Volkswagen Phaeton have less in China than Audi A8 and BMW 7?

Audi was undoubtedly defeated by BMW and Mercedes-Benz, and Phaeton was unknown to laymen.

Audi A8 seems to have only a history of more than ten years, and its brand advantage in the field of D-class luxury cars really lags behind that of Double B.

Brand advantage does not affect its internal quality, but is only a symbolic meaning. No matter in which field, usually the best seller is not the best quality, but the most popular with consumers.

Appearance, interior

Everyone has a different aesthetic view, and most people can't understand Picasso's paintings. Don't want to comment too much on the appearance and interior, and describe it in short words:

1 appearance

BMW is like a night girl with heavy make-up, and the headlights of angel eyes are as charming as embroidered eyebrows; Mercedes-Benz is like a set of leisure suit, which can't find the feeling of beauty; Phaeton is British style; Audi's simple streamline will not please our eyes like BMW at first, but it will never produce aesthetic fatigue and will never get bored. On the contrary, the more you look at it, the more you like it.

2. Internal

Phaeton's handmade interior style tends to be simple, not deliberately showing luxury, which is the most attractive; Audi has the strongest sense of modernity; The dashboard of BMW has a special rib; Mercedes-Benz takes luxury to the extreme, and at the same time, it has some solemnity.

3. Space

Phaeton is a little smaller, and the other three cars are about the same size.

engine

Phaeton has: V6 3.6, V8 4.2, W 12 6.0.

Audi has: 3.0T (mechanical), W 12 6.3.

Bmw has: L6 3.0, L6 3.0T, V8 4.4T, v126.0t.

Mercedes-Benz has: V6 3.0, V6 3.5, V8 5.5, V8 4.7T, V125.5t.

It is also a supercharged engine. Audi is supercharged, BMW and Mercedes-Benz are twin-turbo (dual-tube? Or a twin turbine? ), Audi's supercharger has almost no lag, and BMW and Mercedes-Benz's turbocharging have more or less lag.

Flagship model:

Phaeton W 12 is a naturally aspirated W 12 cylinder 6.0 displacement engine, Audi A8 W 12 naturally aspirated W 12 cylinder 6.3 displacement engine, BMW 760 is a V 12 cylinder twin-turbo 6.0 displacement engine, and Mercedes S600 is a V/KLOC.

Mercedes-Benz V 12 adopts a "weird" structure, with three valves per cylinder and double spark plugs. It seems to be an old engine, not as good as BMW's V 12 technically, but it won't make any difference in actual use.

Odibe BMW Mercedes-Benz has a lot of supercharge, four-wheel drive and hundreds of thousands of dollars cheaper, which seems worthwhile. In fact, the basic version of Audi A8 lacks some luxury configurations that cars of this level should have, and if equipped, the price is also very expensive. The so-called "wool is on sheep".

Price of flagship model:

Big bosses who can spend 2 million yuan to buy a car will not care about the price difference, and the price difference will never be a factor affecting their car purchase.
