If you want to talk about the joint venture car brands that understand the Chinese people's preferences best, it must be Volkswagen and Audi . After tasting the sweetness of mid- and low-end special-purpose models, SAIC Volkswagen Audi began to focus on the high-end luxury car field. Shortly after the domestic A7L was released, it launched a new car - Audi Q6. The car is positioned as a 6/7-seat mid-to-large SUV and is built with Volkswagen transverse MQB platform to bring a larger size than the Audi Q7. The price range of the entire series is 459,600-630,600 yuan. Today I want to introduce the 45TFSI quattro Qiyun-type Light Yulin Set 7-seater version, with a manufacturer's guide price of 499,600 yuan. Let's see how it performs.
In terms of appearance, as the largest SUV model under Audi, the Q6 has enough aura and a full and solid overall shape. The official said that the details borrow traditional Chinese elements, including the name of the car, which fully reflects its special car identity. The car series provides two appearance styles: Yulin suit and Feiqi suit, which correspond to the common ordinary version and sports version types respectively. The difference is mainly reflected in the center net, front and rear surround, and other details. In comparison, the Yulin suit looks more stable, while the Feiqi suit looks younger. The front part of the Audi Q6 has carried out local designs for domestic consumers' preferences, and the details also incorporate some latest family elements. While strengthening the brand characteristics, it also highlights its own recognition. The octagonal large-mouth central mesh grille has a slightly embedded effect around the border, which looks more three-dimensional. The interior of the central mesh of the Yulin suit is a grid composed of vertical chrome spokes, which brings a straight waterfall effect. The central mesh of the Feiqi suit is a more youthful and sporty honeycomb mesh design. The high and low beam headlights are designed for the first time. The daytime running lights above are Audi's current family-style dotted line style, and the car's front turn signal strip is integrated, and the effect is exquisite and vivid when lit. The Qiyun-type high and low beam light groups all use matrix LED light sources, which support rich functions such as automatic headlights, adaptive high and low beams, steering headlights, , headlight rain and fog mode, delayed turn-off, headlight cleaning and height adjustment.
The side of the car body is filled with a strong streamlined design, and the full high waistline adds a undulating style to the rear door handle, which not only makes the sides look slender, but also adds a bit of muscle to it. A large area of silver trim is added to the D-pillar of the body. After being linked to the bottom frame of the window, a floating roof effect is created, while giving the sides a higher recognition. Audi Q6 is positioned as a medium-to-large SUV, with a body length exceeding the domestic BMW X5 and Mercedes-Benz GLE, and its wheelbase is close to 3 meters and has fully reached the level of medium-to-large SUV. The rearview mirror integrates LED turn signal strip and car side camera, supporting functions such as electric adjustment, lens heating, electric folding, memory, and automatic reversing and turning. The front and rear doors support keyless entry, and there is a keyless start system in the car.

rear part can be said to be concave and convex, presenting a certain three-dimensional feeling. The taillights are kept up with the current trend and adopt a thicker horizontal through-type design. The internal LED light strip has a high recognition after lit up. It is also matched with the thick chrome spokes at the bottom of the rear, making it look more layered; the model adopts a hidden double-sided exhaust layout. The entire series is equipped with front and rear parking radar and reversing images. Except for the two low-end models, the other versions are upgraded to 360-degree panoramic images. In terms of interior, the Audi Q6 car has added more personalized design based on the current family layout, and the center console shape is more three-dimensional, which is much more fashionable than other models of the family. In terms of workmanship and materials, the upper part of the center console is covered with a large area of soft material, and the wood grain decoration, painted frames and chrome frames on the panel create a good luxury atmosphere. The design of the upper and lower dual screens of the center console is not inferior to the common horizontal dual screens nowadays, and it is more original and personalized.

The buttons on both sides are responsible for auxiliary functions such as driving computers, Bluetooth voice, multimedia adjustment, etc. The cruise control is controlled by a separate lever at the rear.

Thanks to the second row of seats supporting front and rear movement, although the leg space is not too cramped, it is not very suitable for long-term rides. The rear two rows of seat backs support proportional folding. After the third row of seats is folded, it can reach full flatness with the floor. When the third row of seats is used normally, the trunk volume is 286L, and the maximum expansion to 2398L after the rear seats are folded; the model is equipped with trunk electric tailgate , tailgate open position memory, and more advanced induction tailgate functions.

Summary: As a domestic special model of a luxury brand, the appearance and interior design of SAIC Audi Q6 have no nesting dolls at all. From the side, it can be seen that the manufacturer is concerned about this car. Compared with the current Volkswagen Touron, the Audi Q6 has not been extended in terms of wheelbase, and the interior space and riding comfort are well guaranteed. Many consumers in China should pay for such medium and large SUVs that come from first-tier luxury brands and are extremely "concerned" in this country.
