Beautiful parabolic roof, digital cockpit full of science and technology, Audi Q3 coupe model analysis and shopping guide.

In recent years, coupe SUV has gradually developed into a new market segment, which is loved by young consumers. The layout of BMW and Mercedes-Benz in this field is faster and more perfect, while Audi is relatively backward but catching up. On May 29th, Audi released the Q3 Coupe version of its second sliding back SUV, with the price range of 28.73-36.10.8 million yuan, which is divided into two-wheel drive version and four-wheel drive version. Today, we take Q3 2020 Coupe 45TFSI quattro (hereinafter referred to as Q3 Coupe) as an example to plant various kinds of grass for everyone.

Model characteristics:

First of all, it is based on MQB platform and is Audi's first domestic coupe SUV.

Second, the front face is replaced by a honeycomb mesh, and the coupe shape is full of cross-border wind.

Third, the materials of the carriages are rich and varied, and the double large screens create a virtual cockpit atmosphere.

Fourth, equipped with 1.4T and 2.0T low/high power engines, matching with 7-speed DCT powershift.

Five, provide two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive versions, of which the four-wheel drive version is equipped with Audi quattro full-time four-wheel drive system.

Based on MQB platform, Q3 coupe was launched in the world at Frankfurt Motor Show last year, and it is Audi's first domestic coupe SUV. At first glance, the appearance is quite "small Q8", which can enhance the psychological superiority of car owners. The new car offers atoll blue, glacier white, gold-plated orange, bronze brown, tango red, crocodile green, legendary black, sweat green, Sepang blue, Tian Yun gray, brilliant purple * * *1/to meet different individual needs.

The front face is still a large hexagonal mesh, but Audi replaced the Q3 coupe with a more sporty honeycomb grille. Small silver banners are added inside each grille, surrounded by octagonal closed-loop silver decorative strips to enhance the sense of exquisiteness. The left side of China Net is marked with "quattro" four-wheel drive logo, which will make Audi fans happy.

Audi's title of "lighting factory" is also well reflected in Q3 coupe. The matrix LED headlights are sharp in shape, and the shark gill-shaped LED daytime running lights are very eye-catching. The whole system is not equipped with front fog lights, but is replaced by a visually enhanced ventilation duct shape, and the silver matte trim is used to highlight the visual effect, which looks very stereoscopic and sporty. In addition, it can be seen that the bumper part under the lamp group has also been made into a convex-concave shape, which has a strong three-dimensional effect.

Side modeling, the length of the front and rear suspension is symmetrical and moderate, and the whole is still short and lean, but the inclination angle of the front and rear windshield is increased compared with the ordinary version, making the roof a complete parabola, and the symmetrical A-pillar and D-pillar are more harmonious. In addition, unlike the regular version, Q3 coupe adopts segmented double waist line. The curved upper waistline begins with the headlights disappearing at the junction of the fender and the front door, reappears at the rear door handle, and is outlined to the taillights. The lower waistline passes under the door handle, and with the concave bottom skirt line, the curved surface of the side of the car body is rich, which brings the changing light and shadow effect.

The body size is 4518/1843/1573mm, and the wheelbase is 2680 mm ... As can be seen from the above table, compared with the luxury compact crossover SUV of the same class, the Audi Q3 coupe has a leading edge in length, width and height, and the wheelbase has reached the middle and upper reaches of the same class, with remarkable geometric advantages. This is different from the concept of our recent test drive BMW X2. BMW pursues the ultimate sense of control, while Q3 coupe obviously needs to balance the internal space.

The exterior rearview mirror adopts a black base+body color shell, with a small area LED side turn signal and a side camera below. The top model has 360 panoramic image function (other models need 5000 yuan). In addition to the entry-level models, the exterior rearview mirror comes standard with the functions of electric adjustment, folding, heating, reversing and locking, and optional automatic anti-glare function (1000 yuan), which is quite rich in functions.

The door handle is the same color as the car body, and the whole system comes standard with keyless entry in the front row, which improves the convenience of using the car.

The specifications of the front and rear wheels are 235/50 R 19 (the entry model is 235/55 R 18), and there are up to seven styles of wheels to choose from. This car is equipped with strange bright black aluminum alloy wheels, which are as energetic as branches. With Goodyear Eagle F 1 series tires, the wet grip and braking performance are excellent.

At first glance, the tail shape is also a "small Q8", with rich horizontal lines and clear levels of upper and lower parts. The height of the tail window is compressed very low, and the stamped duck tail is raised very much. Coupled with the tail of the roof, the aerodynamic effect can be effectively improved. The taillights are sharp and the internal light group is also layered. The rear bumper area is raised, so the height of the car body is also compressed, which makes it more compact. The huge lower enclosure of the four-spoke diffuser is very thick, and the visual effect is good with the striking curved silver trim. The bottom adopts a hidden exhaust pipe layout, which looks clean and tidy.

Inside the carriage, Q3 coupe version continues the layout of the ordinary version, has a brand-new family interior style, and adds a highly acclaimed virtual digital cockpit, which is decorated with a large number of metal materials, piano painted panels and Alcantara materials, which is more scientific than BMW X2 and Mercedes-Benz GLA. The high-profile models are also equipped with Bang &;; With Olufsen audio and 30-color indoor atmosphere lights, the sense of luxury atmosphere is no less than that of competitors.

The three-spoke multifunctional steering wheel is wrapped in leather, with moderate thickness and delicate grip. The Audi-style flat-bottomed shape not only looks sporty, but also helps to master the steering angle. The silver hollow decoration of the lower spoke, the perforated leather on the left and right sides, and the conspicuous red "S" logo are all elements that young people like.

Audi's virtual digital cockpit has been widely welcomed by users, and it has not left here. Using 12.3-inch full LCD instrument panel (except for the top model, the rest are 10.25 inch), the display of white characters on black background is very Audi, which can not only display conventional vehicle information, but also support the comprehensive projection of navigation information, which is very easy to use.

The main interactive interface of the virtual digital cockpit also includes a multimedia touch panel of 10. 1 inch (8.8 inches except the top model). In addition to supporting the interconnection of Apple CarPlay and Baidu CarLife mobile phones, it also supports voice control of multimedia, navigation and Bluetooth mobile phones. The UI interface is also a square button box with white characters on a black background. When pressed, there will be feedback, and the touch of the screen is smooth, and the overall user experience is excellent. At the bottom of the screen, the air-conditioning control entity buttons with high frequency are retained, which is still a familiar style for Audi fans.

The layout of the bar has not changed, and the top of the coarse bar has been decorated with black piano paint and silver, which enhances the sense of exquisiteness. Place the vehicle assist button above the front storage box, which makes it easier to press it. The large-area mobile phone storage compartment below has a wireless charging module, and the side has a Type-C and USB interface.

The inner space of the central armrest box is square, and the bottom is intimately added with a non-slip pad. There are two water cup holders with plugs and a small storage rod in front, which can basically meet the storage requirements.

The front seats are made of leather +Alcantara fabric. The seat cushion and backrest are made of leather, and the side support is Alcantara. The leather surface feels soft, the inner filler is slightly hard, and the supporting force is sufficient. In order to adapt to users with different leg lengths, leg rest adjustment is also added. Functionally, the front and rear seats, backrest, leg rest, height (4-way) and waist (4-way) of all models can be electrically adjusted. The top model is also equipped with front seat heating function, and the rest models cost 2500 yuan.

The rear seats are made of the same material as the front seats, and Alcantara material is added to the side wings to provide better lateral friction. The angle between the seat cushion and the backrest is relatively straight, the length of a good seat cushion is enough, the leg support is enough, and there are three independent telescopic headrests. In terms of space, the wheelbase of 2680mm brings more spacious space to the rear row. Candy is 175cm tall, with one punch on his head and room for two punches on his legs, which is quite enough. However, the comfort of the middle passengers is not high, except for the horizontal space, the middle cushion is also short, and the slightly raised platform is not suitable for long-distance riding. A foldable central armrest with two water cup holders is provided.

The rear row is equipped with floor-standing air conditioning air outlet, two Type-C interfaces and 12V power supply. It will be more convenient to add a USB interface.

Electric skylights are standard in all departments. There is an obvious depression at the top of the back row, which expands the overhead space.

The transverse space inside the rear compartment is occupied by wheel arches on both sides, and the longitudinal distance looks good, but the height gradually decreases outward, which still has an impact. Under normal circumstances, the volume is 450L, which is basically enough for four people to travel long distances. The rear seats can be laid down at 4:6 and completely leveled, and the load can be increased to 1400L, which supports the "stall economy" mode. A non-full-size spare tire and a tire changing tool are arranged below the bottom plate.

In terms of power, it is equipped with 1.4T and 2.0T engines. The maximum power of the former is110kw (150ps)/5000-6000rpm, and the maximum torque is 250 nm/ 1750-3000 rpm. The latter is divided into low/high power versions. The maximum power of the low power version is137 kw (186 PS)/4100-6000 rpm, and the maximum torque is 320 nm/ 1500-4000 rpm. The high power version is162 kw (220 PS)/4500-6200 rpm, and the maximum torque is 350Nm/ 1500-4400rpm. The whole system matches 7-speed DCT powershift.

In terms of chassis, the suspension combination with front McPherson independence and rear multi-link independence is adopted, providing two driving layouts of front front drive and front four-wheel drive, among which the four-wheel drive version is equipped with Audi quattro full-time four-wheel drive system.

In terms of configuration, Q3 coupe is divided into two two-wheel drive versions and two four-wheel drive versions. Let's compare the two-drive version first.

1. Comparison of two-wheel drive vehicles

The entry-level version of 2020 coupe 35TFSI costs 287,300 yuan, and the high-end version of 2020 coupe 40TFSI costs 307,300 yuan, which is 20,000 yuan more expensive. Configuration is equipped with a 2.0T low-power engine, 19-inch wheels, fatigue driving tips, cruise control, steering wheel shifting, 30-color interior atmosphere lights, electric folding of exterior rearview mirrors, and so on. The cost of 20,000 yuan is mainly increased on the 2.0T low-power engine. As a coupe SUV for young users, Candy believes that power is an uncompromising factor, and the addition of steering wheel shifting and 30-color interior ambience lights improves the convenience and feeling inside the car, so the high version is still very cost-effective.

Brother Kan comments:

Audi Q3 ushered in a new generation of products from MQB platform last year, which opened its popularity and reputation with rising sales, and Q3 coupe, as a brand-new car series, has also become the biggest beneficiary. The new car is endowed with a more dynamic slip-back shape, which is more similar to the flagship SUV Audi Q8. The use of virtual digital cockpit and the blessing of quattro four-wheel drive system make this car more comprehensive in product strength, perhaps not as extreme as BMW X2, but more in line with the needs of ordinary users. Model selection, the two-wheel drive version recommends the 2020 coupe 40TFSI fashion model of 307,300 yuan; The four-wheel drive version recommends the 2020 coupe 45TFSI quattro luxury model, with a price of 366,5438+0.8 million yuan.
