Recommended S line sports, Audi’s new Q7 car purchase manual

[Autohome car purchase manual] Through our previous reports on the new generation of Q7, I believe that everyone has gained a deeper understanding of its various performance, functions, and driving experience. This article will start from the most down-to-earth car purchase perspective, for consumers who really want to buy Q7, which model is the most cost-effective.

There are 5 models listed this time, two 40TFSI models are equipped with 2.0T engines, and three 45TFSI models are equipped with 3.0T engines. The price ranges from 753,800 to 1.0988 million. Before looking at the following content, it is recommended that you write down the names of the 5 models.

appearance introduction

The appearance of the new generation Q7 has indeed caused a lot of controversy. The reason is that the new model is not as domineering as the old model. The body size of this generation Q7 has been shrunk in all directions, and the side of the body looks even like a station wagon.

The new Q7 offers 11 regular colors for consumers to choose from. It should be noted here that consumers who want Sepang blue car paint must also choose the PQD S line sports appearance set (optional price 31,100 yuan). Other colors do not have this demand. In addition, Audi also provides exclusive personalized body colors (optional price 98,500 yuan). Consumers can choose any color they like as a car paint, but the booking cycle for personalized car paint may be extended.

The Q7 offers a total of 7 types of wheels from low to high, but not all models can be equipped with these seven types of wheels, and the optional prices of different models are also different. Here is a table for your reference.

In the table above, "○" represents the rims that can be replaced without adding money, "●" represents the standard, "-" represents the non-optional, and "¥xxxx" represents the optional price. Because the rims standard on each model itself are different, the price of choosing the same rim for different models is also different.

Interior introduction

The interior design of the new Q7 does bring us a lot of freshness. The use of a large number of horizontal lines plays a role in widening the visual effect. The full LCD dashboard is full of technology. Audi also provides a variety of options for the interior. I will briefly introduce it to you below.

In addition to the standard comfortable seat on the top model, the other four models are equipped with standard seats. The standard seat does not include seat heating, ventilation and powerful massage functions, but the comfort seat includes these functions. There are materials on the back of the sports seat to increase friction. All models can be equipped with comfortable seats and sports seats, and the optional prices are 33,900 yuan and 7,400 yuan respectively.

The new Q7 provides 8 different styles of interior decoration strips. I marked the standard color scheme of the model with yellow font in the picture. Of course, you can also choose different styles of trims according to your own needs, just like the rim. Because the price of the original trim is different, different models choose the same style of trim, and the price is also different.

Audi’s basic configuration only has 5 models. On this page, we will analyze which model is the most cost-effective according to the 5 models currently officially announced.

40TFSI Comfort

Price: 753,800

The 40TFSI Comfort model is the entry-level version of the Q7. If you don’t choose anything, it is the most basic version of the Q7. It starts at 753,800 yuan and is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine and an 8-speed manual transmission.

As a model with a starting price of 750,000, the basic configuration is definitely enough, and the safety configuration is also quite complete, but there are no bright features on the promotional page (such as LED headlights, full LCD dashboard, B & O audio, etc.), and the interior is less. Various decorative parts also highlight no sense of luxury, but considering its starting price, I think it is still cost-effective.

40TFSIS line Sport

Price: 798,800

In addition to the addition of the S-line package to the appearance of the 40TFSI comfort model, the 40TFSIS line sports model also adds some technical configurations, but Audi has a lot of optional configurations. We can also buy a cheap 40TFSSI comfort model and choose it as a 40TFSIS line sports model. Which one is more cost-effective?

Through the above table, we can clearly see that all the configurations of the 40TFSIS line sports type can be selected, and the headlight cleaning is thrown out (because the headlight cleaning included in the S line sports appearance set). If all the above configurations are selected, it will cost 82,300 yuan, and the price difference between the two models is only 45,000 yuan, so it is more cost-effective to buy the manufacturer’s configured vehicle. 45,000 yuan can be exchanged for LED headlights, virtual meters and S line appearance kit and other assembly, not only in line with the current mainstream level on the configuration but also decorated the appearance, cost-effective or very high, in addition to the lowest model although the price is attractive, but no key into such a configuration, most consumers may not be able to accept, so this 40TFSIS line sports is very worthy of recommendation.

45TFSI technology type

Price: 855,800 yuan

45TFSI technology type is the entry version of the new Q7 3.0T model, which is 57,000 yuan more expensive than the 2.0T high-end model, but the configuration is not as high as the high-end 2.0T model, and the expensive price is used in the engine upgrade.

In terms of configuration, the 45TFSI technology model is indeed not as good as the high-end 2.0T model. There are no LED headlights, no keyless entry, no more luxurious interior matching, and no more high-grade wheels, but the power advantage of the 3.0T engine is unquestionable. If there is a higher demand for power, it is recommended to consider the 3.0T model, but the configuration of this 45TFSI technology model is indeed not particularly high. Except for the full LCD meter (optional price 8800 yuan), the rest of the configuration is consistent with the lowest 2.0T model. The cost of 93,200 yuan is just to upgrade the engine from 2.0T to 3.0T. I think the price is a bit high, so it is not recommended as a key object.

45TFSIS line Sport

Price: 929,800 yuan

The 45TFSIS line sports model belongs to the Q7 sub-top model, and the price has also reached 929,800 yuan, which is 74,000 yuan more expensive than the 45TFSI technology model, and it is similar to the 40TFSIS line sports model in terms of configuration.

If all take 45TFSI technology type for optional, need 92,300 yuan to match 45TFSIS line sports, the price difference between the two models in 74,000 yuan, although still buy the manufacturer configuration of the model is more cost-effective, but the cost performance is not 40TFSIS line sports so prominent, but spend 74,000 yuan to upgrade LED headlights, 20-inch wheels, four-zone air conditioning and S line sports appearance kit, I think the price is reasonable.

45TFSIS line premium type

Price: 1.0988 million yuan

45TFSIS line premium model is the top model of Q7, the official price is also over one million, with many promotional color pages on the configuration, but its price difference with the previous model also reached 169,000 yuan.

The configuration of the top matching model is already very rich, and the cost of 169,000 yuan can be exchanged for the configuration of matrix LED headlights, head-up display, adaptive air suspension, electric suction door, etc. For the pursuit of configuration of the top matching control can be recommended, because if you choose to spend 234,600 yuan, cost-effective, but the overall price is also high, this model is suitable for consumers with high configuration requirements.

However, it should be reminded that although this model is the top version of the Q7, its configuration is not the highest in the entire Q7 series, because equipment such as rear seat heating, B & O audio, night vision system, and four-wheel steering need to be re-installed.

Optional package:

Audi offers a lot of options for consumers to choose from. As can be seen from the table above, we can buy a car with a lower configuration and match it with a high-end model. However, through analysis, we can also see that it is not cost-effective. Unless there is a special demand for a certain configuration, it is not recommended that you choose a large number of options, because not only is the price uneconomical, but the ordering cycle will also be extended. However, Audi also provides several options, which I believe is what most consumers are concerned about. Let’s analyze the price of the options together.

The price of each optional package is also cheaper than that of each configuration. You can choose from the above optional packages according to your own needs. 4S stores may also match some optional packages for new cars that are about to be sold. When buying a car, you can also check the price to avoid being fooled.

Advancement index: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

The configuration of these two S-line sports models is actually similar, but the 45TFSIS line sports model has larger wheels and higher-end interior decoration strips. The basic configuration, comfort configuration, and technological configuration of the two models are all available, and compared with the lower configuration models, the upgraded equipment and the added price seem very cost-effective (but the above analysis also shows that the 40TFSIS line is more cost-effective). If the power requirements are not high, it is recommended to buy the 40TFSIS line sports model. If there are certain requirements for power, consumers who want to buy a six-cylinder engine can consider the 45TFSIS line sports model.

Recommended index: ★ ★ ★ ★

The 45TFSIS line premium model is the top model of the Q7. It has many functions such as matrix LED headlights, electric suction doors, four-zone air conditioning, seat massage, air suspension, etc. Compared with the previous model, its growth in configuration and price increase are more valuable, but because of its overall high price, there may not be too many consumers who buy the car model, so I recommend it as the second recommended model.

Summarize:

After ten years of replacement, the new Q7 has undergone qualitative changes compared to the old models, and is competitive enough in terms of technological configuration, interior design, and driving experience. Through the analysis of the article, the two S-line sports models are more cost-effective. However, it is necessary to remind everyone that there are many optional configurations of the Q7. According to our national market, the existing cars in the 4S store may have already been equipped with some configurations for everyone, so when buying a car, you have to determine with the 4S store what specific configuration has been added.
