The all-new Audi Q5L is finally here! But looking at this space, it is estimated that it will become a hit
Everyone is familiar with it, it can be seen everywhere on the street, but if you look closely, this generation of Q5 has been sold for 8 years. If nothing else, the appearance is really not up to date. The new generation of Q5 has already appeared, but the domestic version has been a long way off. But recently there is news that we will usher in a new Q5L in July. Yes, this time it is Q5L, a special extended version for the Chinese market, an unprecedented "L".
The design of the Q5L is the same as that of the overseas version of the Q5, so the front face is still familiar with the wind. The chrome-plated hexagonal mouth air intake grille declares to us the purity of its pedigree, and the ridges extending to the hood also add a sense of strength. The headlights are definitely the highlight of the lamp factory. First of all, the shape is more sharp, and the internal structure is more delicate. In terms of light sources, high-end models must have matrix LED headlights. Overall, the front face of the Q5L is not only more dynamic, but also more domineering in four circles.
The side shape of the Q5L is simple and smooth, and the stronger waist line is also more muscular. In addition, this extension did not destroy the original body coordination, it seems that the back door is a little longer. Compared with the current Q5, the biggest change in the rear of the new car is that the line is harder and flatter, which is also Audi’s new design orientation. In terms of space, the wheelbase has reached 2908mm, which is 101mm longer, and the ratio is 44mm longer, which is not a small distance.
In terms of interior, the Q5L is naturally a lot more stylish and refreshing than the current Q5, but overall it is Audi’s consistent pragmatism or technological orientation, which has nothing to do with luxury. In addition, the two screens of the central control large screen and the LCD dashboard are the biggest highlights, especially the LCD dashboard, which is full of technology. Although the LCD dashboard configuration is not uncommon, it is still the Audi that is the best to use.
In terms of power, the domestic new Audi Q5L will be consistent with the new A4L. The whole series is equipped with the third-generation EA888 2.0T engine, of which the low-power version has a maximum power of 190 horsepower and the high-power version 252 horsepower. The EA888 is already an old face, so don’t worry about reliability.
The biggest problem facing the new Q5L this time is the change of the gearbox and four-wheel drive system. Firstly, the gearbox has been changed from the previous generation 8AT to a seven-speed automatic. The four-wheel drive system uses the new quattro ultra four-wheel drive system, which no longer uses the Torson-style central limited-slip differential, but instead uses the more common multi-disc clutch-type central limited-slip differential. The four-wheel drive format has been changed from OurHours four-wheel drive to just-in-time four-wheel drive. In many cases, the new Q5L is just a front-wheel drive car. Officials say this change is conducive to fuel conservation. It is said that the four-wheel drive system change alone can help the Q5L save about 0.3L/100km of fuel consumption.
Overall, the change of the four-wheel drive system is the most uncomfortable part of the Q5L. Admittedly, no one will take the Q5 off-road, and the old Q5 does not have too outstanding off-road capabilities. So with the popularity of the Audi Q5 all the time, the shortcomings of the Q5L may not be regarded as shortcomings. Moreover, in the large space that people like the most, the Q5L’s characteristic lengthening and enlargement can be said to show sincerity.
