before the non-formal contact with Audi Q8, if you want me to recommend a car for today’s society elite, I guess not think of it. Because all along, the Audi family, the most popular, but also the most representative of the A6 (L) model to the people of “Founder” impression is too deep, plus the Audi SUV in the field and started relatively late (in 2005 it launched the first family SUV models Audi Q7), so the face is now a little too picky and like the pursuit of personalized social elite, I recommend S-Class or the Audi RS possibility Department will be higher.
My colleagues have before me on the Audi had some more in-depth experience of Q8, in his words, the Audi Q8 in addition to the Audi family is truly the flagship SUV, or best embodies the German extraordinary “craftsman spirit” of the model. Audi flagship little doubt that, after all, is the Lamborghini Urus, more Tim Bentley and other top models share the same platform (MLB Evo) production of noble descent born, without saying; coupled with the flagship sedan Audi A8L, sports car flagship R8 belong to the same vein, Audi Q8 “family SUV flagship” perfect sense.
but rather evaluate Audi Q8 is the most representative “craftsman spirit” of the Germans this, I am very interested. As we all know, Germany is not only rich in poets, thinkers and composers, more rich scientists, engineers and technicians, and its culmination in manufacturing, especially machinery and automotive industries worldwide reputation. However, to explore the history of the “Made in Germany” is not the focus of our article, but we have to look at the Audi Q8 flagship SUV, the symbol of German manufacturing “instrumental reason” level “focus ism”, “Standard ism “,” precision doctrine “,” perfectionism “,” order doctrine “, is how surly feedback out.
I said: “World affairs will be in fine ……” “Made in Germany” robust durable, there is a profound “value rational” basis, that is, once known as the Prussian spirit, and then toFor the whole spirit of the German people “a sense of responsibility, hard work, obedience, reliable and honest.” It is with this once lowly status of “Made in Germany”, in an era dominated the UK industry, decided to rise and replace. One of the “sense of responsibility, reliable and honest” with our Chinese “thick spirit” exactly the same. This makes “Made in Germany” in the design and use of materials, and that they consider the interests of users, pay attention to the intrinsic quality, better than looks and flashy features. Case of cars, the German automobile safety factor, reliability and durability, significantly more than some competitors.
However, I also feel faint, Audi Q8 who want to taste the kind of German “artisan spirit,” not some “Erbinsimo” the effort estimate is not enough, and probably have to be 360 degree dead experience ……
positioning examine: “focus doctrine “
” focus “, the German” intellectual rigor “national character behavior. German manufacturers, “small masterpiece, small enterprises of the Republic”, not for large-scale, strong but realistic. “Big” is not an end, but “strong” the natural result of this thinking is the philosophy of Lao Tzu: “World affairs will be in fine, ……, sage end is not large, which gives it great.” For example, in Germany WMF in 100 years of the development process has always focused on kitchen appliances, and now is the world’s most five-star hotels, specify the preferred upscale restaurants, and is in the kitchen “ABB”.
Audi Q8 locate family flagship, but it is not our usual thinking has 6-7 seat luxury full-size SUV, but a coupe SUV. So, Audi Q8 is not a traditional function-oriented flagship SUV, but a “focus” to highlight the distinctive personality of the Audi models. In other words, although Audi Q8 is medium to large SUV, but it is clear that it is not even the main rear seat passengers of the third row of the vehicle ride, but a moreYounger, more sports, more fun and have some off-road capability of a large SUV, while the whole system is only set five layout also confirms this “stubborn” from the side.
MLB Evo platform, 3.0T V6 + 48V mild hybrid transmission speed tiptronic +8, 6.2 seconds break hundred, nearly 5 meters body + nearly 3 meters wheelbase …… plus the Lamborghini Urus, Tim Bentley of the same exquisite workmanship and quality, this series of factors have been enough to make the user feel a premium SUV brought sense of dignity and the unique charm of the king. Many people would like me, has shown signs of Audi Q8 can not help but be shaken by the kind of aggressive atmosphere, but after some familiar, you will soon understand: This looks slightly aggressive big, in fact, is a funny, fun, but also intelligent measure “sunshine big boy.”
However, from a practical side to consider, with a coupe SUV as the brand’s flagship, it is not that this is a relatively bold attempt, but we also have to admit that today’s consumer trends in the past has been greatly changed, put yourself think, if I were a luxury SUV one million target consumers, first, I would definitely consider buying a car you like, and not to bring children to buy food and buy a compromise to elect Alpha MPV Seine or the like (except for business purposes), or to many people take into account while selecting a driving feel slightly inferior car. From this perspective, the Audi Q8 “top” or the idea of focusing on the tree one million new standard of luxury SUV, the ambition is big enough!
Design: “standard doctrine”
“intellectual rigor” is the German national character, even though Germans are everywhere in daily life and workInseparable from the “standard doctrine”, always neatly, Germany more companies are “standard-respect”, in German manufacturing, the “standard” is the law. German auto industry but there is a “standard as the first” quality culture, through the improvement of the standard components of every aspect and detail as possible in order to achieve “zero defect” goal, this for a second is fine by “standardized” , all enterprises, brand-name products will have their own very distinct family imprint.
Audi Q8 is design “standard” Audi, even blocking the logo, most people can recognize that this is an Audi, the most obvious, from the front pair of piercing, ultra HD with a sense of technology matrix LED headlights, taillights and rear through-type OLED makes it easy to recognize this is an Audi, but not cheap. Audi Q8 both design heritage is also innovative, the blend of both, brought us a near-perfect design of the new car. Part of the heritage from the 1980s have been in the game killing four Audi Ur-quattro, Audi Q8 inherited from a lot of classical elements; there are many innovations, we are in the next anything in detail.
HD matrix headlights and taillights through application and undoubtedly stunning at the cost, but for playing lights Audi, it is what makes sense, I’m not here to write a great book. I would say first of all is octagonal in the network, due to the current Audi Audi Q8 almost family widest in the body, that there is a problem when the front face design, that is, if the mesh size will make people irrational that blind or uncoordinated large, but not the designer with a great size, and supported by spokes and matte gray decorative chrome octagon network surrounding huge air intake sides of the front fitting, in while creating a sufficiently aggressive front, but also will not be too “arrogant and bossy.”
Next, the four doors Audi Q8 have adopted bilateral frameless design and soundproofing glass, open quite pull the wind, high force grid, but also to ensure the proper level of sound insulation. Then there are carLast year Audi Coupe quattro styling is classic design, but the process is more gentle on Audi Q8, which to some extent also to ensure that the head space of the rear passengers inside the car. In addition, I get this 55TFSI enjoy sporty top model 22-inch twin five-spoke alloy wheels section, 285/40 R22 horse brand tires ContiSportContact 6 to 6 on the front and red paint piston calipers, etc., in herald the big man not to be trifled.
Interior Process: “precise doctrine” [123 ]
reliance on the “standard”, pursue and adhere to, will inevitably lead to the pursuit of “accurate”, while the “precision” of the pursuit, in turn, will inevitably turn Forced “standard “accuracy. Thus, two-thirds of the world’s international machinery manufacturing standards from the “German Institute for Standardization standards”, DIN things can become among the world’s highest industry standards also makes sense. German “precision doctrine”, is bound to bring its manufacturing. The “precise doctrine” Made in Germany and brought directly to the precise characteristics.
Audi car “use technology to interpret luxury” has long been a known fact, Audi Q8 on this flagship model is more Needless to say, get in the car, the first is the most cited eye virtual cockpit atmosphere formed by the three liquid crystal screen, but in fact the Audi Q8 technological properties of more than 12.3 inches in full LCD instrument panel, 10.1 inches in the control multimedia touch screen and intelligent control touch screen 8.6 inches, also includes HUD head-up display, rear air conditioning control system with color display, and lighting control systems, inside and outside the car, the Audi forefront of this cold wind from the doctrine Technology into one group, the perfect realization of the three-screen linkage function, bursting with a sense of science and technology, yet practical. It is worth mentioning that the three large screens (including built-in intelligent vehicle systems MMI), an enhanced version of the package interior mood lighting and so are the whole system comes standard.
At first, my Audi Q8 almost kind of touch to achieve a complete virtual cockpit is not entirely acceptable because the past is concerned, a lot of touch is difficult to design models with traditional buttons (button) feedback and responsiveness on a par, but this Audi two-touch control screen performance is reversed my understanding. Frankly speaking, the Audi Q8 touch screen feedback is so far the best I have experienced before, no one, the screen is not only virtual function key is pressed sense, as well as vibration feedback, basically comparable with the feedback of physical keys; Meanwhile, the touch precise positioning, responsive, and does not lose ease of use physical keys, 8.6 inches screen supports handwriting input function; and whichever one screen, the display definition, functional, logical and richness impeccable with a look at all comforting.
However, the Audi “technology” attribute Q8 I have heard, there are psychologically prepared, Audi Q8 car but there is a bright spot, but I did not expect that highlight Germany “precise doctrine” of the work process, Audi Q8 in the car, you can see the details of the work is very fine, every process at all fit so well, of course I know the exquisite sense of the interior of the Audi brand is its advantage, but in the Audi Q8, this exquisite sense and always feel fit to give me a surprise. For example, the surface covered with perforated leather steering wheel grip ergonomic shape ring, grip is quite good. One motion seats, large thick package of excellent, electric control / heating / ventilation / massage readily available, even the second row of seats is also electrically adjustable and heated support, can be described as very user friendly. In addition, within reach of a soft material coated, glossy piano lacquer or silver trim, and application turn fur material, in full compliance with Audi Q8 sense of luxury cars Audi 8 character positioning.
In addition to these “science and technology” property and work processes, Audi Q8 to amaze me, there are two things have to say, first, you’ll enjoy the Audi original entry Bangamp; Olufsen 3D sound system, the whole car 23 speakers, the sound is very high density, dynamic control is also very good, even if large-scale classical music playback time will not feel chaotic, large-scale cooperation, wide range, for routine often heard music or lyric rock music, much smaller scale, you can say that the sound quality of this sound has been standing on the peak of a car stereo. Second Audi Q8 interior atmosphere of light using a special optical fiber, when the cabin air temperature changes, the profile will flash, and different regions may also choose to sit Ambient Light car colors car …… night, gentle moonlight , years of quiet good, unconsciously will feel a better life.
Power Driving: “perfectionism” [123 ] “perfect to Zhen” is the fundamental characteristic of Germany, the German pursuit of the perfect job behavior is “meticulous, doing things completely,” this is the German-depth bone marrow character feature. There is a German proverb: “mistakes, too perfect to be guilty.” Therefore, any German work shop products, in addition to the fine characteristics, but also in all aspects has a perfect matching.
We Chinese have a saying: a good horse with a good saddle, is also intended to seek perfection. For example, for a family of flagship models in terms of positioning, if the power does not match the driving control, it would open up like sticks in the throat, certainly quite uncomfortable. However, there is no need to worry Audi Q8 in this regard, at least so 55TFSI models. In fact, experience a few days off, I think there is considerable Audi Q8 “playability” Driving fun and dominate Audi cars off-road capability to the Audi Q8 fairly broad imagination.
look at the equipment level, my hands 55TFSI enjoy this dynamic model 3.0T V6 equipped with a turbocharged engine, the maximum power of 340 horsepower and peak torque of 500 Nm middot; m, and is equipped with a 48V light mixing system, energy can be recovered during braking and coasting; motor can assist the engine running, to improve vehicle performance, improved fuel economy. How about the performance of this power system? We acceleration in 6.2 seconds results will be seen from Audi Q8 one hundred kilometers. 8-speed tiptronic transmission shift logic or whether it can ride pick not go wrong.
Further, before and after the multi-link independent working air suspension structure may vary depending on the driving mode and hardness level 5 body height, the height adjustment range of up to 90mm, the air suspension rose to the highest, the minimum ground clearance 254mm. While the rear steering servo function is not absent, at low speeds, the steering wheel can be reversed with up to 5 degrees to the front wheel turning radius is reduced, so that the vehicle is more flexible at low speed; high speed when the front wheels will be the same rotation, improving the tracking of the rear. In addition to this, including the Audi Q8 it is also equipped with comfort, automatic, all-road and off-road driving, etc., seven kinds of modes to choose from, covering almost daily car during all road conditions, is very convenient smart.
Audi proud quattro four-wheel drive is also the biggest highlight Audi Q8 one, but it is worth mentioning that, with the electronic center differential different from the prevailing Audi Q8 and uses a more pure hardcore mechanical center differential, the output torque can be transmitted in a ratio of 40:60 to the front and rear axles; if necessary, may be most preferred power transmission to the traction axle, the front and rear axle torque split under extreme conditions up to 30:70, or even 15:85. This can be said to have a reliable and powerful four-wheel drive system, combined with excellent dynamic performance, the Audi Q8 rescue capability can be described as quiteGood, general cross-axis, the shell hole, Butterfly Valley, bread bags, fine sand, and the side of the groove within the road so wading 500mm mention, except some of the extreme off-road conditions, such as climbing or the like (22-inch Bigfoot is not allowed), otherwise all is not a problem. Audi Q8 its capability in the field of performance will no doubt bring more young users “car ownership” fun.
the face of paved roads, Audi Q8 can also show a distinct “every three years” it may be popular agitation “speed machine” can also be gentle gentleman male host, but either state, Audi Q8 is a very obedient and easy to control the “iron beast.” These days I drove the Audi Q8 parade back and forth in the city and suburban road, and it impressed me the most profound places, one steering feel, and whether or bend lines, Audi Q8 steering feel are as smooth and silky, damping moist and delicate. The road feel and steering torque opportunity interference filter clean, leaving only accurate pointing and ease and comfort. Further, thanks to the consideration of noise from the source with a double laminated glass blessing, Audi Q8 silent performance at high speeds is quite good.
The second is power, and you do not have to worry about its power reserve, after all, the basis of displacement Well, that is used within the legal speed limit most gentle comfort mode, each step on the foot throttle will also make this nearly 5 meters big aggressive forward, strength enough but not too violent, in most cases, Audi Q8 will be in a very calm and elegant way to force the release of the wheels, and the speed will unknowingly rush high. When driving mode is switched to “dynamic”, steering, throttle and gearbox would like to play with blood, like become very aggressive, powerful acceleration could have been cool to excessive speeding, once excited at high speed in this state, Audi Q8 can even become a second performance car, air suspension this time will be reduced to a minimum, then open up the Audi Q8 SUV has no feeling, more like a large steel gun, but still feels very at ease.
The third is the air suspension and four-wheel drive, the former can bring rough roads smooth pieces vibration, rapid lane change or turn support efforts of the body is adequate, flexible body movement is quick and sharp, and ultimately, of course, there is also rear-wheel steering servo credit. The latter allows the entire body in motion more robust, especially on wet or low-friction road surface, the other when after some loop or curve, will demonstrate the advantages of four-wheel drive system, the control of body posture is very Yes, let the driver feel very calm, full of a sense of security. The piston 6 and the front brake system is also very easy to use, powerful deceleration efforts pedal feel smooth, linear, without special care subconscious action alone can control the intensity of the reduction was very smooth.
There 48V light mixing system is also worth mentioning, this lithium ion battery and a 48V light mixed starter generator belt system (BAS) consisting, during running the entire body will open up more light, but also good to avoid the turbo-lag and frustrated; and the system will brake the vehicle or recovering energy during coasting, the BAS 12 kilowatts maximum recoverable energy, may be stored in a battery. This energy can be used to drive an electric motor to assist the engine is running, more compact at low speed start. Meanwhile, with the aid of this system, when the vehicle speed at 55-160 km / h in this range, if the driver turns off the engine, release the throttle, Q8 coasting maximum 40 seconds. Then, BAS quickly, smoothly restart the six-cylinder engine, restore power, and the whole intervention process, hardly aware of; In addition, this hybrid system of co-operation, the Audi Q8 maximum per hundred kilometers a decrease of 0.7 liters of fuel consumption.
vehicle interior space: “order doctrine”
[123 ] “standardDoctrine “time dimension performance is” Program doctrine “, while the performance of the spatial dimension is” order doctrine “There is a German proverb:.” Order is half of life. “Spatial order doctrine performance is the rational placement of items.
car in the Audi Q8 inside, you can see this “order doctrine” in miniature, tell you the truth, to 4986 * 1995 * 1702mm body size Audi Q8 owned, 2995mm wheelbase up to the same level, as well as the entire department five settings, most people simply no need to worry about driving space. As a result, I am here to Audi Q8 will focus on vehicle interior space on storage performance level, to see how such a big guy with thoughtful consideration and design to meet the occupants of the car glove demand.
to tell the truth, Audi Q8 vehicle storage space to no more dazzling, did not like some of the models that try hard, but the individual compartments (or box) but had very neat, and very handy to use, which in everyday experience is good. Moreover, the rare Audi Q8 fastback styling did not let the disappointment show people the trunk, deep long, large space, regular shape, the inside of the press Key can also raise or lower the air suspension helps to transport goods daily; regular 605 liters, the largest volume of 1755 liters is enough for daily use, while adding power tailgate makes up the trunk with a very convenient [. 123]
written in the last:
[ 123] “spirit of civilization and barbarism that physique,” I finished the first test drive the Audi Q8 impressed, this is a most advanced civilization, then there should emerge a flagship SUV product phase, standards and social status and models. Yes, you can still find wild side at Audi Q8 body, but it is good for the heart without losing balance, But without losing the elegance move specification. When Audi Q8 strongest martial arts to show their own people, nor off the “focus ism”, “standard doctrine”, “precision doctrine”, “perfectionism”, “order doctrine”, etc., but also a complete picture of German manufacturing culture the “instrumental rationality” level category.
At the same time, when you look around the car, and can be seamlessly switched Audi’s most proud of the sense of science and technology to modern civilization, in the body of the Audi Q8, design, technology and materials, etc., are all real consider the interests of users, pay attention to the intrinsic quality, better than looks and flashy features. You can be admired in recent years, Japanese people “ingenuity” culture influence, and how not to be “craftsman spirit” of this Ashkenazi impressed by it?
Today, Audi Q8 already on the market, with its latest flagship identity and “equipment” standard platform for old BMW X6, Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe and other models, I think it has an absolute advantage, but also for love young people in terms of individuality, perhaps Audi Q8 Yunwenyunwu better meet their needs, so from this point of view, I think Audi Q8 with a bright future.
