last month or so, after another test drive several vehicles of the Volkswagen Group, Lamborghini Urus, Audi Q8 and Porsche Cayenne Coupe.
coincidence, these three cars are from the MLB evo platform, but the driving experience, the three vehicles of the same platform, their personality is really not the same.
Q8 most boring, Urus most divisive, Cayenne Coupe can be said that these three best car open, most are willing to open that table.
MLB evo platform like A dream of universal pocket, made from this platform out there Volkswagen Touareg, Bentley add more. Audi sedan and SUV series now comes from this platform, so the applicability MLB evo platform, how strong it goes without saying.
Of course, this platform is not only making high-end luxury car, unaware, and general and longitudinally mounted platform a little different, this platform also A4L this type of front-drive, yes, longitudinal engine, precursor set.
Here I will not start a chat platform, this article would like to talk more or three cars each to open up some of the subjective feelings.
Q8, and looks to open up not the same thing
In these three car, select the driving mode is very rich, Q8 is the worst, and more up to 6 species.
Q8 is looking at quite a gas field in the car, looking at than the Cayenne Coupe to exercise, but Q8 driving experience, styling and presentation style is still pretty big contrast, this feeling I do not consciously think of Lexus, the car often give their home this psychological gap. Acceleration
Q8 is not slow, zero one hundred 6.2s regarded as a good result for this SUV’s physique, you will feel the power when accelerating emboldened Yes, there are push back, but it is very difficult to give you the thrill of acceleration.
fans have this very feeling is captive for three reasons, one is still biased in favor of the comfort adjustment trend, the output of the linear nature. The second is the vehicle weight, while also acceleratingYou can really feel the sense of weight of the vehicle. The third is 48V light mixing technology to join, more conducive to smooth power output.
Q8 in the comfort mode number there are some feeling lazy, the vehicle body in response to change lanes is not fast, supporting partial suspension is soft setting. It is a very good use, good driving a car can put the whole family to take care of. Just want to have fun at it this, a little difficult.
Even in sport mode, the intense accelerating operation, although the power steering, the chassis settings are most Q8 motion state, indeed better than a lot of radical comfort mode. But the body’s sensory stimuli can still feel some of the radical again.
Of course, there may Q8 shape gives the feeling of how much is sporty, leading up to it on the movement of psychological expectations too high. Because the experience down, even feel qualified Q8 is a very high value of the Yen Daddy car, but also in economy mode upshifting thief positive, seventy 8 per hour on the block, this block 8 could have been maintained at more than sixty per hour.
It is worth mentioning that, Q8 although frameless doors, but the cabin quietness but to do good, than a lot of wind noise suppression this frameless models better.
used to think with the frameless doors, the cabin quiet nature can maintain the good, the only Lexus, Audi Q8 did not expect to give this feeling is a little surprise.
Cayenne Coupe, slotted point also remains true incense
Cayenne Coupe, not only as platforms and Q8, powertrain also agreed, however, does not finish that two cars have any contact.
Normal mode, to open as long as normal, comfortable Cayenne Coupe is a carriage, the linear power output, good strength, little feeling of self-absorption. Just under intense throttle action, dynamic response is excessively bureaucratic enough about 1s delay the window period, although the power did not come, the meter from the eight-speed gear would have dropped to third gear, high speed all the way to go.
To the moment
power, which immediately makes you feel the force of the turbine or turbines, is not civilized, it is this uncivilized, virtually to grip the steering wheel of the driver a little pleasure, and Q8 or not the same, I would not say there is 48V light mixing technology, secretly let the power output performance more smoothly.
shift logic
8AT quite good, smooth pursuit, but the kickdown operation, the instantaneous speed of response, and also immeasurably PDK, because you really feel it belated. In addition to this, the Cayenne Coupe driving mode switching, the dashboard is also no change to create this atmosphere of how many people will feel almost mean.
However Cayenne Sport Plus mode, Normal mode, and the difference is obvious, Normal mode may be hanging in the 8-speed cruising speed of over 60, and Q8, as the rotation speed is about 1000 rpm.
In the Sport Plus mode 120 are still came 6 speed gear, there is a further Cayenne Sport Rseponse function, even if you are in Normal Mode , press down just like to play with blood, like, forced Sport Plus mode, speed is also forced to hang high, this state only 20s, but almost is enough. Including the G value display, turbo pressure, etc., display these settings and in fact can see Cayenne Coupe is a sport more than the pursuit of Q8 car.
Cayenne Coupe driving mode Q8 although not so much to look at, but there is a very special, no matter what mode you are in, you can adjust the ride height and chassis for itself, even if you in Sport Plus mode, you can crank up the high-speed chassis, the chassis can be set to Normal.
seem strange to it, but the driver did so to operate, with such rights also means the driver can fully in accordance with their needs accordingly set, even if the demand is very weird.
Cayenne Coupe is a very stable open up a sense of confidence in the car, although most of the time will be a rear-drive bias setting exercise, but as long as the action up the throttle, the driving force is gradually began to feed on the front wheel, let four wheels driving force more uniform, this time back to the feelings of the driver’s vehicle is stable.
these three inside the car, Cayenne Coupe is I think the most easy to grass in one of the fans who, a hundred million for about the price, the sense of distance but also not so far away Urus, brand appeal has been online, the most critical is the driving experience, very easy to build goodwill.
even if it is a beggar version of the Cayenne, Porsche is still also allows you to open up and think: Well opened the car is not the same feeling.
Urus, a strong super SUV
Finally come to talk Urus, because it is a month before the opening of some experience already do not remember the details clear, and so we talk about this car give me the impression of a few points.
Comfort mode really comfortable like a Lamborghini, in this mode even if deliberately to take liberties with the throttle, Urus still have a good affinity, is really a family can share, can Shu comfortable clothes driving a car.
at Corsa mode and very mad, some people are not controllable, really split. Noise worthy of the brand, tempering the sound is quite in place, it can be said is a very deep-fried type of ultra-running SUV, sports car to go home and just than, or less certain on the sound.
are MLB evo platform, Urus and the previous two is not really a middleweight player, Urus is a very fighting spirit of the car, from outside to inside is, as long as you restless drive, you how violence, how it can be violent. But sultry really fast car, but it’s fast is emboldened, direct carbon-ceramic brakes as standard, full braking on one word: stability.
Lamborghini Urus is a very wonderful experience, with a typical two-sided character, is really fragrant incense, but looked at the prices, you’ll antiAsked RS Q8 does not smell?
AL Channel Summary
these three cars together, they do not go to comparison, mainly want to share the same platform models, open up what differences are not so big, there is no similar driving experience. The answer is no, the same platform models, in some design details do have in common, such as Urus rearview mirror, steering wheel, some of the key lever and Q8 are indeed exactly the same, but as long as the open up character between them or unrelated. That is, using the same power Q8 and Cayenne Coupe, also remains the same.
