At the same time, with the development of China's automobile market, many luxury medium and large SUVs have put down the "million dollars" in the past and become relatively close to the people. Even the once arrogant BBA. In addition to BBA, the rapid rise of luxury brands such as Lincoln has also become the best choice for people to buy luxury brand models.
For example, Lincoln aviator, which is very popular recently, in the eyes of many people, just moved the "cheese" of BBA, because BBA always seemed to bear the brunt of medium and large luxury SUVs in the past. But since Lincoln's aviator "Wolf Warrior" entered the war, it not only set a new example with unique American luxury, but also put the whole 3.0T? The power layout of V6 makes BBA, which is equipped with 2.0T four-cylinder power, look awkward. ...
Maybe you will say that BBA brand is powerful! Not bad! However, brand power can never represent the brand heritage, what's more, for rational consumers, it must be worthwhile to spend hundreds of thousands to choose a luxury medium and large SUV. So, today we might as well have a head-on confrontation between Lincoln Flyer and Audi Q7, which has just finished the mid-term redesign, to see who will not regret buying it.
For the sake of unification and convenience, we will refer to Lincoln Aviator 2020 based on the budget of 700,000 yuan. 3.0T？ V6？ Four-wheel drive executive edition with Audi Q7? 2020? 45TFSI？ quattro？ s？ Line? Sports limited edition is a representative model. The guide price of these two cars is exactly 689,800 yuan, and this car is the most recommended among Audi Q7 cars. ...
5 meters "big guy" duel, see who only plays superficial kung fu?
At the beginning, we mentioned that one of the biggest advantages of luxury medium and large SUVs is the "gas field", which is first expressed by "showing muscles". Although Lincoln Aviator and Audi Q7 are very big, 5 meters long, but really put them together, you will find that Audi Q7 has become "humble". Tell you, this is not poor eyesight, but a real gap.
In fact, Lincoln Aviator not only has the largest wheelbase in its class, but also basically has the largest "volume" in its class. This pair of body panels of Lincoln Flyer can basically enter the category of large SUV, while Audi Q7 is a standard medium and large SUV. Therefore, it is reasonable that the two cars are put together, and the gas field of Lincoln Flyer is bigger.
In fact, not only the body size, but also the design of Lincoln aviator perfectly reflects the luxurious and gorgeous expression used by American luxury brands. Lincoln's latest family-style design language, through the design of roof line, waist line and threshold line, creates the modeling characteristics of yacht and airplane wings. Full body lines, huge starlight chrome-plated mesh, novel headlight layout, high ground clearance of 206mm and large wheels of 265,438+0 inches create a very dignified and elegant visual effect with a sense of luxury.
The Audi Q7, which was redesigned in the mid-term, is more like a slimming design. The latest family-style face looks more exquisite, and the angular sports kit creates a good sense of movement. However, because it is a low-profile model, the double five-spoke 20-inch wheels (optional) damage some of the exquisiteness of the body. In addition, the Audi Q7 does create a sense of movement, but it loses a sense of luxury. Of course, this preference varies from person to person.
"Starting from the face value, loyal to talent", and a large part of this "talent" is in the car. The interior of Lincoln Flyer won the 2020 Ward Top Ten Interior Award. Behind this honor is Lincoln's unique interpretation of "luxury". The interior of the pilot highlights luxury and tranquility. When you enter the car and close the electric suction door, you will have a broad sense of space created by the horizontal widening design, as well as a luxurious temperament created by leather and soft materials. In addition, you will upgrade the SYNC+ car system and have a 12.8-inch high-definition touch screen. A sense of luxury and technology arises spontaneously. As for serenity, the real sense of body will tell you the truth, and your cognition will be strengthened through double-glazed windows, active noise reduction in the car, and even the alarm sound from the symphony. Bottom line: Lincoln Flyer is a car that allows consumers to place orders only by the interior.
Compared with the old model, the interior of Audi Q7 is brand-new, adopting Audi's latest "three-screen" family interior design, and the sense of technology is not lacking. Piano plaque+metal texture wrapping is also a common method, and there is no sense of disobedience by adding wood grain. However, Audi Q7 just lacks a sense of class. You should know that this is a medium and large luxury SUV with a price close to 700,000. You can't send consumers away with more than 200 thousand interiors! Then, perhaps because of the width of the car body, the interior of the Audi Q7 is obviously not as spacious as that of the Lincoln Flyer, but rather "petty".
As medium and large SUVs, both Lincoln Flyer and Audi Q7 pay attention to practicality. After all, this "volume" can naturally accommodate six or seven seats. However, Lincoln aviator gives three seat layouts at a time, which is the only model in its class that provides three seat layouts. Moreover, the 6-seat layout of 2+2+2 can be divided into "two rows of long seats with central armrests" and "two rows of long seats with corridors", and there is also a 7-seat layout of 2+3+2. The four-wheel drive executive edition comes standard with a six-seat seat layout of "six-seat double-row seats with central armrests", and the other two seat layouts are optional, as are other models. The Audi Q7 only adopts the 7-seat layout of 2+3+2, and it is not allowed to choose 6 seats. Here, Lincoln Flyer's convenience in policy (six-year exemption from inspection) is nothing more than ink. Audi Q7 should be ashamed of its seat flexibility, seat functionality and humanized functional design.
The reason is that the wider body and longer wheelbase lay the foundation for Lincoln flyers to create a leapfrog ride experience in the car. This executive front seat not only supports 30-way electric adjustment and heating/ventilation/massage functions, but also widens the cushions of two independent seats in the second row by 67mm, which is spacious and comfortable. Moreover, the second row of seats is not only equipped with hands, but also with switches for independently operating the sunshade, which also supports heating/ventilation in function, and is called "captain's seat"; The seat is covered with semi-aniline high-grade leather from North America, which is first-class and comfortable. More cars? Air? Refresh the "fresh air housekeeper" air conditioning system and standard ANC active noise reduction system to offset noise. Enjoy VIP-level courtesy in the second row of the car.
Audi Q7 seat adopts genuine leather+imitation leather splicing mode, which is comfortable, but its function is not as good as that of Lincoln aviator. The front seats only support 12 electric adjustment and heating functions. The second row of seats only supports front and rear adjustment and backrest adjustment. At the same time, Audi Q7 adopts three independent seats in the second row, which improves the comfort in the middle position, but at the cost of narrowing the cushions on both sides; Moreover, the central platform in the second row is relatively high, and the legs are "frustrated" after riding for a long time.
It is worth mentioning that the care of the third row by Lincoln pilots was not hasty. In addition to semi-aniline high-grade leather seats from North America, the second/third row can be electrically lowered with one button, and the third row is comfortable to enter and exit. The Audi Q7 is only equipped with the third row of electric reclining seats, and the second row of seats only supports manual reclining. This design is very unfriendly to ladies. And to be honest, in daily use, it is a bit embarrassing to think about the scene of an Audi flagship model manually putting down the second row of seats.
Lincoln was a aviator, powerful and touching.
For luxury medium and large SUVs, in addition to the advantages of "what you see is what you get" and the luxury interior of "what you feel is what you get", users also pay attention to the comfort brought by the detailed experience in daily use. Lincoln Flyer and Audi Q7 are both outstanding luxury medium and large SUVs. However, if you really look at the functional configuration of the two cars, you will find that the strength of Lincoln Flyer is more abundant, which is also the touching place.
Lincoln Flyer comes standard with as many as 100 excellent configurations, which is really a luxury masterpiece. The four-wheel drive executive edition model enjoys a textured black roof, matrix LED headlights, 265,438+0-inch wheels, three rows of six-seat "captain's seat" (with central armrest) and Air? Glide air suspension ("bow to welcome guests" function), CCD adaptive suspension with road prediction function, Revel? Ultima？ 3D immersive audio (with 28 speakers), 30-way electronic control exclusive seat (with massage/heating/ventilation function), electric suction door, HUD head-up display, smart phone key, the most full co-pilot 360? Luxury configuration, such as advanced intelligent driving assistance system, when all this is gathered on Lincoln Flyer, the user's daily car is always "full of happiness".
Except anything else, like air? Glide air suspension and CCD adaptive suspension with road prediction function, the former automatically descends 15mm after the vehicle is turned off in the parking state, and then descends by 35mm when the door is opened and the welcome induction is started, and the function of "bowing to welcome guests" is realized with a descending height of 50mm, which is not only convenient for getting on and off, but also convenient for loading goods, and can bring extremely respectful experience to users.
During driving, the camera installed behind the front windshield monitors the front 15m road surface in real time, collecting potholes 2-20cm deep on the road surface, and then these information will be transmitted to the sensor. Finally, the system controls the suspension system to adjust the damping of the shock absorber, thus improving the driving comfort. CCD adaptive suspension collects real-time information including body posture, steering, acceleration and deceleration through the vehicle 12 sensors, and finally independently adjusts the shock absorbers of each wheel at the speed of 100 times per second. Moreover, CCD adaptive suspension will be adjusted adaptively according to different conditions of vehicles. For example, when the system detects that the vehicle speed is lower than 56km/h and it is in complex road conditions, it will automatically enter off-road mode and the suspension will be lifted by 30mm；; When the vehicle speed exceeds 120km/h or the vehicle speed remains at 1 13km/h for more than 20 seconds, the suspension height will be automatically lowered by 15mm to ensure higher stability.
Another example is Revel? Ultima？ 3D immersive sound system, with up to 28 speakers and 20 channel amplifiers of the same level, realizes an immersive 3D surround sound experience. With Clari-Fi sound quality restoration technology, the sound quality of compressed formats such as MP3 is perfectly restored, allowing users to enjoy the natural sound experience.
It is no exaggeration to say that Lincoln Flyer has reached the level of a million luxury SUVs in configuration, which is a veritable "luxury". In contrast, although Audi Q7 is a luxury brand on the surface, it has no air suspension, no adaptive suspension, no sound insulation and noise reduction, no privacy glass, no HUD, no brand stereo, and even the active safety configuration related to consumers' life safety is missing. This kind of "luxury" cultivation is really unsatisfactory.
3.0T？ vs？ 2.0T, what's the difference between them?
At present, energy conservation and emission reduction is the main theme of the world, and China has issued an extremely strict "double integral" policy. Due to this form, luxury medium and large SUVs began to "castrate" in power, and 2.0T four-cylinder engines became the mainstream. Even some models of the same class are 2.0T four-cylinder engines. Although I dare not say that the power is weak, it is actually inconsistent with the "identity" of medium and large luxury SUVs.
The appearance of Lincoln Flyer makes the "stealing" behavior of medium and large luxury SUVs look disgusting. Especially Lincoln Flyers are all 3.0T? The V6 power layout is of positive significance for actively enhancing its competitiveness in the medium and large luxury SUV market, seeking to rebuild the market reputation, and pushing the Lincoln brand into a benign development channel.
For consumers, when your budget reaches 700,000 yuan, facing Lincoln Flyer and Audi Q7, I think you will definitely join the embrace of Lincoln Flyer. If nothing else, the power of 3.0T twin-turbo 355 HP 553 Nm is exciting enough. The front double wishbone and rear multi-link four-wheel independent suspension structure adopted by the aviator, plus CCD adaptive variable suspension, will make you feel the road when you go up a flight of stairs; Coupled with the standard ESE active sound enhancement system, after professional adjustment, the sound generated by engine operation during acceleration is more linear and full, which is perfectly combined with outstanding power, bringing more surging driving experience and adding passion to driving control.
In contrast, the Audi Q7' s slightly weak power performance, biased steering wheel and "straightforward" driving experience are really difficult to excite drivers. It can be said that Lincoln Flyer is like a magic mirror, which not only makes the 2.0T on Audi Q7 feel humiliated, but also makes BBA's aura gradually dim.
Write at the end:
As the best embodiment of "Lincoln Way", aviators have become the best choice for buyers with good taste. Undoubtedly, it is a luxurious medium and large SUV with a sense of luxury, sports and technology. It not only echoes the brand charm, but also makes Audi Q7 lose the technology and advantages that BBA should have. With a budget of 700,000 yuan, the top ten courtesy that car owners can enjoy, the answer is self-evident.
