New car competitiveness version 2.0 still uses a hundred-point system for scoring, evaluating the appearance, power, configuration, and fuel consumption of each car in four dimensions. The proportions of the four dimensions in 100 points are 40 points for appearance, 25 points for power, 25 points for configuration, and 10 points for fuel consumption (power consumption). In order to further improve the new car evaluation mechanism, the original score is divided by the price coefficient as the final score.
A4L, the first to implement the lengthening strategy, has been the most popular model among domestic luxury brand mid-size sedans for a long time, but with the continuous updating of Mercedes-Benz C-class and BMW 3 series, The advantages of Audi A4L are constantly being reduced, Mercedes-Benz is luxurious, BMW is sharp, and the A4L of the mean has even experienced a period of "confusion." Nowadays, the new Audi A4L has come with a new look. This time, as if it were a new generation, it has clearly defined its new direction-sports.
On April 10, the all-new Audi A4L was formally completed on the market. There are a total of 9 new cars with a price range of RMB 30.58-39.68. It can be seen that this time the change is not a small move, the original 1.4T model was cancelled, and the quattro four-wheel drive option was added to the mid-range, which enriched the technology configuration. So what is the ability of the all-new Audi A4L to compete with other luxury B-class mid-size cars?
To sum up, the models we selected in this competitiveness analysis are:
2020 new Audi A4L 40TFSI luxury and elegant (340,800 yuan);

一. Face value
Appearance praise:
1. For the first time, Audi has directly used Audi sport on a B-class car, or the style language of the most sporty series "RS". The lights, front brackets, taillights and many other parts have adopted new designs;
2. In terms of the color matching of the models that can be selected, the sky cloud gray color matching appears for the first time;
3. The diversion openings at the fog lamps on both sides are not a good thing, and can indeed play a certain role in reducing air resistance and diversion.
4. The headlight adopts a full-LED form, the previous model is a xenon lens, and the new top configuration is even equipped with a matrix headlight.
5. One of the representative elements of Audi's performance car series is undoubtedly the "white fungus". Although the new A4L does not use the "tremella" design, the top two 45TFSI models also use a contrast black design that is different from the body color.
6. 245/35 ZR19 Pirelli P ZERO specification tires, built-in a bright 4-piston bright red sports caliper (top with two models), with micro side skirts, even if it is The elegant version has also become dynamic. The 40TFSI model uses 18-inch tire specifications, which also does not run badly.

, the through-type waistline of the body is changed to a segmented style. Compared with the straight and sharp lines of the previous model, it reduces the cold mechanical beauty of the previous model. However, the lines of all Audi cars are becoming softer. The brand new Audi A4L that continues the family gene is understandable.
Interior praise:
The whole series of models are divided into dynamic type and elegant type. The former center control, door panel and handle are covered with imitation Carbon fiber and Alcantara veneer, while the elegant type is wood veneer, which is more stable and mature.
Interior bad review:
The new A4L interior is a more confusing place. It is said that it has changed, but the overall situation is not much compared to before. Change, but if there is no change, in fact, the interior of the new model has indeed undergone many upgrades. However, if you only take a "far view", you will find that the interior changes of the new Audi A4L are not as obvious as the exterior, and it is easy for consumers to think that the upgrade does not include the interior.

2. Power
The new Audi A4L also uses The previous third-generation EA888 series 2.0T turbocharged engine high, medium and low three tuned versions, the difference is that all models are 2.0T engines, and the previous 1.4T models are cancelled. This is undoubtedly This is good news for domestic consumers who prefer face.
The compared model is a 2.0T mid-power version, which is a 40TFSI model, with a maximum power of 140kW (190Ps) and a peak torque of 320N·m. Among the five models, they are in the upper midstream and score 18 points.
Power score: 18 points (out of 25 points)
Three. Configuration
Highlight configuration:
1. Because it is a mid-term change, the screen does not use the new A6 and A8. Screen linkage system, but at least the screen area has been further improved, the picture quality is also clearer, and the built-in system has evolved to the latest version of MMI. The most important thing is to cancel the front touchpad and change it to a storage slot. The touch-sensitive central control LCD screen appeared on the Audi A4L for the first time. I believe this is a great boon for domestic consumers.
2. The previous "center-mounted" LCD instrument panel has also been fully upgraded to become a "real" 12.3-inch full LCD instrument panel, which supports multiple screen displays and displays information. More abundant.
3. The front row is equipped with a USB interface and a 12V power interface, the central armrest box is equipped with a TYPE-C power interface and another 12V power interface; the rear row is equipped with 2 USB Interface, and a 12V power interface. In other words, the whole car has as many as 7 external interfaces, and it is relatively convenient to connect external devices and use electricity.
Missing configuration:
The most popular configuration at the moment, most of the new Audi A4L needs to add money, such as the 8,000 yuan parallel assist , Lane keeping at 4600 yuan, 360-degree panoramic image at 3700 yuan, and adaptive cruise at 16,200 yuan.
Configuration score: 15 points (out of 25 points)
Fourth, fuel consumption
As can be seen from the chart, the new Audi A4L belongs to the upstream level among competing models, one The 2.0T engine has reached the fuel consumption level of the Mercedes-Benz 1.5T engine, which is commendable, so it scored 8 points.
Fuel consumption score: 8 points (out of 10 points)
5. Overall evaluation
final score = total score / price factor = 77/0.9 = 85 points (rounded)
(price factor = new car price / average price of five cars)
头条说: Mercedes-Benz C-class luxury, BMW 3 series control, every luxury brand of mid-size B-class sedan must have its own exclusive features to be able to base itself on the details. Sub-market. Prior to this, A4L was characterized by large space and a sense of technology, but with the rapid changes in its opponents, these two advantages no longer exist. This time, Audi has injected a new gene for it-sports. It is believed that the brand-new A4L, which has undergone a new look and upgraded the pain points of users, will also recapture the hearts of domestic consumers.
