Test drive the 2020 Audi A4, the engine chassis has advanced texture, and the four-wheel drive system is average.

Among German luxury B-class cars, BMW 3 Series used to be famous for its sports, but this generation of BMW 3 Series has increased the interior space and improved the comfort of the chassis. Although it is more suitable for daily use, its athletic performance does drop significantly, and mercedes benz c has always won with luxury and excellent visual experience. As for its performance, it has been complained constantly. Compared with these two cars, Audi A4L has been in a state of light wind and light clouds. It seems that there are no obvious advantages and no outstanding disadvantages. Brother Re presented a 2020 Audi A4L today? 40TFSI？ quattro？ Test drive report of luxury dynamic model (hereinafter referred to as Audi A4L) to see how this car performs.

The official guide price of this car is 363,800 yuan. At present, the discounts in various places are basically around 365,438+0,000 yuan, and there is not much difference between dealers. Let's talk about static feelings first. Audi A4L was redesigned in the middle of this year. The main change of dynamic appearance is that the RS-style middle net is implanted, and the length, width and height of the car body are increased, but the wheelbase is still 2908mm, and the minimum ground clearance is increased from 107mm to18 mm. In addition, the quattro four-wheel drive logo is added to the car body, and the waistline of the car body is redesigned. The visual length of the side of the car body is enhanced, which makes the Audi A4L look as slender as a C-class car. Tail lights and daytime running lights are designed in sections to support dynamic and animated effects. The whole system comes standard with LED headlights.

The interior adopts the embracing cockpit design, which has little difference in layout from that before the reform, but the width also increases with the body, so the left-right distance becomes larger. However, in my opinion, this is a change in data, and the actual feeling is not obvious. We need to carefully experience the models before and after the reform before we can find the difference. In addition, there are some adjustments in details. The central control panel has been changed from 8.3 inches to 10. 1 inch.

As always, there is plenty of space in the back row. Personally, I feel much more spacious than competing models such as BMW 3 Series, mercedes benz c Class and Cadillac CT5, and the legroom is even close to BMW 5 Series. My height is 180cm, and I can easily cross my legs in the back row. Large space has always been one of the core selling points of Audi A4L, which is more suitable for home and business reception than BMW 3 Series and mercedes benz c Class. The seat design is ergonomic, and people of different sizes can get comfortable sitting posture, which is better than BMW 3 Series.

Then let's talk about the car experience. The 2020 Audi A4L is the first car equipped with MMI system. One of the highlights of this in-vehicle system is that the virtual buttons on the central control screen have sound feedback, which can support the owner to operate blindly during driving. The experience is similar to that of a smartphone. Although driving safety can be improved in theory, the premise is to be familiar with the button layout of the on-board system. In addition, even if you can operate blindly during driving, it will distract the driver's attention, so I think this voice prompt function is not very practical. My personal suggestion is to adjust the function of the vehicle before departure. After all, there is no function that must be adjusted in the actual driving process.

As for the car system, the response speed is fast, comparable to BMW's iDrive7.0, and the content is rich enough for car owners to learn for a while. However, in the humanized experience of human-computer interaction, there is still a clear gap with BMW iDrive7.0, which requires car owners to spend more time getting familiar with and adapting. 12.3-inch LCD instrument panel is powerful, which can display information such as vehicle driving mode, broadcasting and map navigation in 3D. In the non-artificial intelligence traditional vehicle system, Audi MMI has a very good scientific and technological experience.

The entertainment content adopts Audi MIB3 system, based on Android open source platform, and the application store is open. Car owners can download all the applications on the Android platform and customize the content of the entertainment system according to their own usage habits.

Then there is the most important driving experience, the 2020 Audi A4L? 40TFSI？ quattro？ The luxury power model is equipped with a 2.0T fuel engine, supplemented by a 12V motor, with a maximum horsepower of 190 horsepower and a peak torque of 320 Nm, matching a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox. The official acceleration of 100 kilometers is 8 seconds, and the measured acceleration time is only 7.5 1 second. This is my personal test result, and the acceleration measured by an authoritative evaluation agency reached 7.42 seconds. The gap of 0.09 seconds is determined by many objective conditions, and you can make a reference. The fact that the actual acceleration of this car is faster than the official one cannot be ignored, which is a big surprise.

The 2.0T engine can show smooth and strong power output in the initial stage. The turbine not only intervened quickly, but also intervened gently without any sudden feeling. The 7-speed dual clutch gearbox responds quickly. Because of the motor assistance of 12V, the starting feeling is light and quick, and there is no sense of lag of the old models, which is one of the highlights after the reform of Audi A4L. During the acceleration process, the shift logic of the seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox is reasonable, the power distribution is uniform, and the shift gap can hardly be felt during driving.

The chassis of Audi A4L is independently suspended by front and rear five links, and the driving quality is very advanced. If compared, I think this chassis is between the old BMW 3 Series and the current 3 Series. The supporting force and resilience of the suspension are more comfortable than the old 3 Series, tougher than the current 3 Series and more athletic than the mercedes benz c Class. There is no vague sense of road that makes people want to sleep. The fly in the ointment is that although this car also matches the quattro four-wheel drive system, it still drives in front of the platform most of the time, so there will be understeer when it is slammed. Normal driving is good, but the playability is still far less than that of rear-drive BMW 3 Series or mercedes benz c Class.

As for the quattro four-wheel drive system, it will be started in time when necessary, but its main function is to maintain the stability of the vehicle. Therefore, in the actual test drive experience, this four-wheel drive system did not leave any unforgettable impression. Objectively speaking, it can make people feel at ease and practical during driving, and its performance is not as bad as others say, nor as good as some people say. I think it's quite ordinary.

Summary: In terms of comprehensive product strength, I think Audi A4L is still not as comprehensive as BMW 3 Series, but its price/performance ratio is higher than BMW 3 Series and mercedes benz c Class in the price range of about 320,000. Personally, I think Audi A4L is still a good car.
