What are the differences between imported and domestically produced Audi vehicles?
2 Answers
Audi imported and domestically produced differences are: 1. Different wheel sizes: Imported Audi models are equipped with 20-inch wheels; domestically produced models come with 17-inch and 19-inch wheels. 2. Different wheelbase: The wheelbase of imported Audi is 2800mm; domestically produced models have a wheelbase of 2733mm. 3. Different front grilles: The imported Audi's front grille and fog lights feature chrome plating; domestically produced models lack chrome treatment on these parts. Here are some introductions about Audi vehicles: 1. Main models: Audi A3, Audi A5, Audi A6L, Audi Q3, Audi S4, etc. 2. Taking Audi A6L as an example, its front suspension is a five-link independent suspension, rear suspension is also five-link independent suspension, equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine producing maximum power of 190PS (140kW) and maximum torque of 320Nm, matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I've always felt that Audi's imported cars have more refined craftsmanship, being original German products with smaller body panel gaps and higher-grade materials, making them exceptionally stable to drive. While the domestically produced versions are also good, some details like interior stitching or paint gloss may be slightly inferior due to cost-cutting measures in localization production, and there might be more minor issues. German engineering standards are stringent, with engine assembly being meticulous; domestically produced Audis are optimized for the Chinese market, such as softer suspension tuning to suit local road conditions and enlarged space for better family use. The higher price of imported models is justified by their superior quality. However, domestically produced Audis have made significant progress in recent years, with improved reliability and better value for daily use. If you prioritize an authentic driving experience, the imported version is worth the extra cost; otherwise, the domestically produced version is comfortable enough and offers more convenient maintenance. I think the main differences lie in the refinement of craftsmanship and the sense of brand pride.
