SAIC Audi new car progress has been a lot of attention, according to official news, SAIC Audi model planning will be different from FAW Audi, the former will launch more medium and large-scale products. Not long ago, Chen Hong, chairman of SAIC Group, said that the first SAIC Audi model will be launched in 2022.

A few days ago, some netizens shared a group of suspected SAIC Audi A7L road attempts. From the point of view of the road, as a long wheelbase version of the A7L, the whole vehicle basically follows the design style of the cash Audi A7, its body ratio is longer, and the rear lines are also adjusted.

The Audi A7 locates medium-sized four-door sedan models, but judging from the latest exposure of real cars, SAIC Audi A7L may give up the sedan style and prefer the ordinary car style. In addition, due to the change in the proportion of the body and the shape of the tail, the car may have a unique degree of identification.

In the rear, the new taillight set and lines basically follow the styling design of the cash model, thus proving that the car is SAIC-Volkswagen Audi A7L.

It is reported that the current Audi A7 body length, width and height are 4976/1908/1414mm, wheelbase is 2928mm, and as an extended model, SAIC Audi A7L is very likely to break through 5 meters and 3 meters in body length and wheelbase in the future.

In terms of power, the current A7 is based on Audi's latest MLB Evo platform and is equipped with a 2.0TFSI engine that matches a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Among them, the maximum engine power of the 40 TFSI model is 190hp, the peak torque is 320Nm, and the 0-100km/h acceleration time is 8.3s; the 45 TFSI engine has the maximum power of 245hp, peak torque of 370Nm and 0-100km/h acceleration time of 7 seconds.

In terms of price, the current starting price of imported A7 is 573800, while the starting price of domestic A7L may enter the range of 500000 yuan.

In addition to the Audi A7L, SAIC Audi's second model will be a medium-and large-scale fuel SUV. According to relevant government documents, the Ningbo branch of SAIC-Volkswagen Motor Co., Ltd. applied for Audi C-level SUV technical renovation project, with a planned annual production capacity of 75000 vehicles. At present, Audi's automobile / diesel medium-sized SUV only has two models, Q7 and Q8, and which model will be put into production in the future remains to be confirmed.

According to Audi's plan, it plans to launch seven local models in the next five years, and sales in China will double to 1.2 million in six years. Audi sold 688800 vehicles in China in 2019.

The birth of SAIC Audi has further enriched Audi's product lineup in China, and from the point of view of product planning, SAIC Audi products will be obviously different from FAW Audi, more inclined to medium and large-scale models.
