As early as last year, Audi broke the news SAIC to develop domestic A7L, to date more than a year has passed, the domestic version A7L after the news broke, so this year-long silence models once again into our line of sight.
simple and crude to the space behind the B-pillar longer, and will also A7 had the most beautiful fastback styling damage, abruptly added a trunk, although and still can not determine whether there exists hatchback shape, but look at this design, the estimated probability becomes large traditional way to open the trunk.

Metro, the elderly, the phone
I believe that most people first saw A7L test vehicle or body in white when the spy photos, we are like the title of this expression package, I believe that if the tail block, then edit professional car first saw this car, killing him did not recognize this is the Audi A7 is extended Version. Indeed, the domestic version of the extension is so do not take heart.
to lengthen it, the Audi has roots in this area for many years, over the years, whether A4L, or A6L, in the market have made relatively good response, so let’s take a look at home and abroad contrast A6 and A6L parameters.
Therefore, according to this momentum, domestic version A7L car length and wheelbase is expected to exceed 5 meters and 3 meters mark, and so an increase in space for longer absolutely huge, and reference A6 avant A6L rear space would have a clear understanding, but the question is: A7 longer really need it?
02
A7 L really need it?
is different from the positioning of the A6 executive saloon, A7 since the beginning of the design, the Mercedes-Benz CLS is the benchmarking of a model five-door hatchback styling is enough sexy, plus four free added the door frame, color values directly to a public beating and hanging A7 of competitors, the mind can move people to buy A7, basically able to meet the family car in the premise, but also to pursue its own unique personalityPeople.
In general, people can buy A7, and do not care about the trunk space and rear space in the end how much, but driving a car to go out, keep them coming back in the end how high? This car can bring added value or some other label to me.
want a big space, comfort can choose A6L, manipulation may want to choose TTRS, may want to choose high-powered S5, personality may want to choose A6 Allroad, but set in one of these attributes, and only perhaps the A7. So for the space, the people are not buying conditions A7 valued for some cars, the large space can indeed allowed extra points, but for some vehicles, large not a good thing.

extended to A7 really okay?
I do not think so, first of all for the A7, although now the whole system has become a 2.0T version of the model, but positioning it sporty hatchback is still in the face of such a car it is hard not to someone he will open soon, but for ancestral Tuitou Audi, the longer bound to affect the original handling, while increasing the weight, so the poor handling A7L certainly is an inevitable trend.
at the same time pricing, domestic A7L prices in a more awkward position, domestic A6L 40.98 – 65.38 million, import A6 wagon 44.98 – 56.08 million, import A7 57.38 – 70.48 million, that is to say domestic A7L price is expected to be 52 – between 630,000 yuan.
But this is only the MSRP, the current preferential import A7 is about 6 million, that is to say the terminal price has dropped to 51–64 million, while prices of basic terminal A6L also 34–60 million, so according to this momentum point of view, A7L the terminal price may be below the 50 mark.
Therefore, fromAngle of goods, domestic A7L release will indeed lead to a wave of car boom, but this is for the A7 this car, maybe not a good thing, for A7L, its change compared to the A6L on A6, A4L is to the A4, this really makes the gap between the moment it difficult to accept.
summary
Mo people jade, son of the World Warriors, A7 such an extremely gentle and elegant models, have forced “adaptation” of the so-called China’s domestic car habit and longer, this allows Jia around every day with the stove for cooking, what difference does it make?
a car since the beginning of its design, it has its own unique positioning, from the 2010 sale of the 10 years since, A7 fastback styling has been popular, and now the country is magic to change in this way, we do not know after the chief designer Marc Lichte see A7 would feel?
