Friends who bought a car last year must have mixed feelings when they see the current market trend? Especially consumers who buy luxury brands spend a lot of money. You may use "buy early and enjoy early" to comfort yourself, but it is not easy to make money this year. I think "buy early and enjoy early" is not as good as "buy late and enjoy late and benefit late", right?
Last year, it happened to catch up with the "chip shortage" of car companies, especially luxury brands, because many of their chips are imported from abroad. If they are short of chips, the production capacity of will definitely be affected. The car sources in dealers are very scarce. If the car sources are scarce, the discounts of models will be tightened, and there will not even be any discounts. If you buy a car at this time, not only will the pick-up time become very long, but the price and discounts of the models can also be imagined.
Take Audi Q5L 40T fashion and dynamic model as an example. I remember that the landing price last year was about 380,000 yuan, but what about this year? It can be implemented for about 340,000 yuan, with a price difference of 40,000 yuan. In addition to the increasing discounts of this car, it is also related to the "big red envelope" of halving the purchase tax this year. Choosing the standard model of Audi Q5L can save about 15,000 yuan in purchase tax. In other words, this year's discounts are about 25,000 yuan more than when the "chip shortage" was last year. Overall, the 40,000 yuan spent is almost the salary of a working class for a year. How do you feel when you bought luxury brand models last year? Or, do you regret it?
Today, if we don’t talk about Audi Q5L, let’s talk about the Audi A4L created on the same platform as Audi Q5L. I personally think that this car is an entry-level model of the Audi brand. You may say that Audi also has A3, Q2L and Q3. Are these three cars cheaper than Audi A4L? In terms of price, Audi A4L is indeed not the lowest among Audi brands, but from the platform perspective, A3, Q2L and Q3 are all built on the MQB horizontal platform. Although they are equipped with Audi logos, their "foundation" is Volkswagen. From Volkswagen Polo to Volkswagen Touron, they are all "all" MQB platforms. The essence of Audi is the MLB vertical platform. Audi A4L is the lowest-priced model created by the MLB platform. So I said that A4L is an entry-level model of Audi. Do you agree with this statement?
Of course, there is also a "foundation" among the Volkswagen brands that are Audi models. As far as I know, among the models on sale now, only Pyeong and Touareg are created by the MLB platform. "Big guys" such as Touareg and Lanjing are still created by the MQB platform.
Let’s continue to talk about Audi A4L. Are there any disadvantages of this car? On the mechanical level, it performs very well. Although it is a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, Audi has been adjusting this transmission for many years, and there is no problem with gear shift logic and gear shift speed. In addition to the slight pauses when stopping and stopping in congested roads, the gearbox is still very smooth under other operating conditions. Of course, in low-speed congestion, the 8AT gearbox of BMW and the 9AT gearbox of Mercedes-Benz also have a sense of jerk and drag. It does not mean that the AT gearbox is smoother than the dual-clutch . The disadvantages of Audi A4L are mainly reflected in its design, such as its small front storage space, high bulge of the rear floor, and straight back of the rear seats. In addition, when buying a car, it is best not to buy black car paint, as it will affect the vehicle's value retention rate. In terms of price
, we learned from Hefei dealers that the maximum discount for Audi A4L at this stage is 89,900 yuan, but it is limited to 40T Jinxiang Life Edition one model, and the discount for the other models is basically below 70,000 yuan. In terms of sales, Audi A4L 40T models are the main force. There are generally no existing cars in the 35T model store, and the manufacturers produce very few. The terminal prices of 45T models are above 330,000 yuan. You can also buy the Audi A6L 40T models at the same price. The cost performance is not high and there is no volume.According to the data provided by the China Passenger Car Association, Audi A4L sold a total of 122,369 units from January to October this year. Compared with the same period last year, increased by 13.6% year-on-year. I think it was caused by the fact that chips are not so short of chips, increased discounts, and halving the purchase tax. Finally, what do you think about the Audi A4L?
