Bitauto original If you want to buy a luxury medium-sized car, choose the 34C, and if you want to buy a luxury medium-sized or large car, choose the 56E. This has long been the default fact among Chinese consumers. However, with the arrival of SAIC Audi A7L, we undoubtedly have a more comprehensive choice in the luxury medium and large car market. The lengthened A7L can improve the space inside the car, while also retaining sporty elements such as frameless doors. It can be said that it is better able to adapt to the more diversified needs of many consumers.
Appearance design
The front face of the Audi A7L basically continues the shape of the imported version, but the air intake grille adopts a crisscross style, which is different from the Audi A7 and Audi A6L’s horizontal air intake grille looks more sporty, and also creates a sense of personality.
All A7L series are equipped with high-definition matrix LED headlights with dynamic turn signals as standard. The light cavity is composed of 32 LEDs to form a lighting module. By turning on or off some LED modules, sufficient lighting can be achieved under different road conditions, while also avoiding Cause light interference to other vehicles.
On the side of the body, Audi A7L adopts a staggered segmented waistline design. The undulations of the body shape are integrated into the changes of light and shadow. The high and low waistlines are combined with three-dimensional sharp side skirts to highlight the sharp and dynamic style. . There are also S-line side markings on the front doors on both sides of the car body. The large wheels starting at 19 inches also add a lot of sportiness to the vehicle. The maximum 21-inch wheels set a new rim size record for the domestic Audi product line.
In terms of body size, the lengthened A7L has a body length of 5076mm and a wheelbase of 3026mm. Compared with the imported version of the A7, they have grown by 100mm and 98mm respectively, which will also effectively improve the seating space in the car. If you refer to the A6L's 5038mm body length and 3024mm wheelbase, the A7L is actually a standard C-class sedan. This will also allow it to have a sporty appearance while taking into account more business attributes.
Although the body size has been lengthened, causing the A7L to become a standard sedan, and the hatchback tailgate has been cancelled, the frameless doors have been retained, making the vehicle look more elegant. A sense of movement. In order to improve the quietness and driving quality of the vehicle, double-layer laminated glass is also specially used, which also plays a positive role in improving the vehicle's NVH performance.
Interior design
The interior adopts a three-screen design, which not only greatly improves the quality of the interior, but also highlights a strong sense of technology. The interior is also very kind in terms of workmanship and materials.Three large screens standard on the entire series form an enhanced virtual cockpit, namely a 12.3-inch full LCD instrument panel, a 10.1-inch central control touch screen and an 8.6-inch air conditioning panel.
The 12.3-inch full LCD instrument panel has a clear display and can switch to multiple display modes. In addition, the A7L is also equipped with a HUD head-up display function. Although it is not as rich in information as the instrument panel, it can also help with navigation and other content. . The upper and lower screens of the central control are 10.1 inches and 8.6 inches respectively. These two screens also form the third-generation MMI system. The upper screen is mainly used to control in-car functions, while the lower screen is used to control the air conditioner. And although it is a touch screen, when you operate the screen buttons, there will be strong feedback to tell you that you have indeed pressed the virtual button to prevent misoperation.

The rear seats have electric seat back adjustments and aviation headrests.

As for the extended space performance, it should be one of the issues that consumers are most concerned about with the A7L. An experiencer with a height of 174cm sits in the front row, with head space of only one fist and two fingers. Coming to the back row, the experiencer's legroom is much more than two fists, and the headroom is only one fist and two fingers. It can be said that the improvement in the passenger space in the car of the fully lengthened SAIC Audi A7L is obvious. I think this A7L, which has become more practical, can better meet the actual needs of many consumers.

When the body is in the lowest state, the gap between it and the tire is only two fingers. , then approximatelyAccommodates four fingers. At the same time, DAWS dynamic all-wheel steering technology will also be standard equipment for all 55TFSI models. When the vehicle speed is not higher than 60km/h, this function will turn the rear wheels in the opposite direction to the front wheels to reduce the turning radius; when the vehicle speed is higher than 60km/h, , the rear axle is steered in the same direction as the front wheels, thereby improving straight-line driving and track stability.
