AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)05/16 Report--

Audi Q2L is a small SUV under FAW-Volkswagen Audi, which was introduced into China in 2018. Compared with the overseas version of Audi Q2, the domestic Audi Q2L lengthens the car body. More than two years have passed in the blink of an eye, this model will also usher in a medium-term revamped model, and the new car is scheduled to go on sale in the third quarter.

Recently, the undisguised spy photo of Audi Q2L has been exposed. As a medium-term revamped model, the new car is slightly different from the one exposed in the previous declaration. The silver decoration on both sides of the new car is connected by a crossbar and equipped with newly designed LED headlights, which makes it more athletic than the current model. The family's iconic big-mouth intake grille has not changed, but the details of the net are different.

The rim style of the modified model is also slightly different from the cash model, using multi-spoke design, simple shape, tire specifications are expected to be consistent with the cash. As for the rear part, it maintains the same design style as the front face, and the rear is connected by a through crossbar.

According to the previous declaration, the medium-term revamped Audi Q2L will be equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged four-cylinder engine produced by FAW-Volkswagen Co., Ltd., with a maximum power of 110kW (150hp) and a seven-speed dry double-clutch transmission.

At present, the Audi Q2L sold in cash is priced at 21.88-265000 yuan, and there is a discount range of 40-50, 000 yuan in the market, which is an entry-level model of the Audi brand. In the BBA, only Audi layout small SUV, while Mercedes-Benz and BMW have not yet launched the corresponding domestic models. In other words, in the front-line small SUV market, Audi brand still has certain advantages.

However, Audi Q2L does not contribute much to the Audi brand as a whole. The Audi brand sold 726300 vehicles in China in 2020, of which Audi Q2L sold 47000. Audi sold 207400 vehicles in China in the first quarter of this year, of which Audi Q2L was 13429.

Compared with other Audi models, the sales performance of Q2L is still poor. Although it can buy Audi models within 200000 yuan, there is still a certain gap between its performance and the sense of luxury. In contrast, consumers are more willing to buy mainstream models with higher positioning and the same price. As for whether sales can be boosted after the launch of the medium-term revamped model, it remains to be tested by the market.
