Ngokusekelwe ekuziphendukeleni kwemvelo kwakamuva kweplathifomu ye-MLB, isizukulwane sesine se-Audi A8 (isizukulwane se-D5) ekugcineni sidalula ubuso baso, ngemva kokugconwa okungapheli mayelana nokuqanjwa okusha kwezobuchwepheshe kwemodeli entsha.
Kulesi sizukulwane esisha, ukufakwa okujwayelekile kwesistimu kagesi ye-48-volt (njengaku-Audi SQ7) kuyagqama, okuvumela ukwamukelwa kwezixazululo ezithuthuke kakhulu zobuchwepheshe, ezifana, isibonelo, ukumiswa okusebenzayo kwe-electromechanical (bona ukugqamisa). Kwa-Audi baphinde bamemezela ukuthi i-A8 kuzoba imoto yokuqala ukungena emakethe ngobuchwepheshe bokushayela iTier 3 autonomous driving.
ukuziphendukela kwemvelo hhayi uguquko
Mayelana nomklamo, lena imodeli yokuqala eklanywe ngokuphelele ngaphansi kwesibopho sika-Marc Lichte. Kodwa ungalindeli uguquko. Naphezu kochungechunge lonke lwezici ezintsha, igama lokubuka lihlala liziphendukela kwemvelo. I-A8 entsha iwukusetshenziswa kokuqala okungokoqobo kwakho konke esikubone ku-Prologue, umqondo ka-2014, lowo, ngokusho kukaLichte, owawuyinhlanganisela yalokho esingakulindela ezizukulwaneni ezintsha ze-A8, A7 kanye ne-A6.
Kusuka kulo mqondo, i-A8 entsha ithatha ifa legrille entsha eyi-hexagonal, enwebeka cishe yonke ngaphambili. Ngenkathi singemuva siphinde sithole izici ezintsha, nama-optics manje ahlanganiswe nebha yokukhanya ne-chrome. Njengoba ubungalindela, ama-optics ngaphambili nangemuva ane-LED, ngaphambili, abizwa nge-HD Matrix LED, equkethe ama-laser.
I-Audi A8 entsha ingama-37 mm (5172 mm) ubude, 13 mm ubude (1473 mm) kanye no-4 mm (1945 mm) incinyane kuneyandulelayo. I-wheelbase ikhula kancane ngo-6 mm ifike ku-2998 mm. Njengoba kwenzeka manje, kuzophinde kube nomzimba omude, i-A8L, enezela u-130mm ubude kanye ne-wheelbase.
Ubukhulu bomzimba kanye nesakhiwo sisebenzisa izinto ezahlukahlukene. I-Aluminium kuseyiyona nto esetshenziswa kakhulu, ibalwa ku-58% wesamba, kodwa singathola insimbi, i-magnesium ngisho ne-carbon fiber engxenyeni engemuva.
Wonke ama-A8 angama-hybrids
Ekuqaleni sizokwazi ukukhetha phakathi kwezinjini ezimbili kwi-Audi A8 entsha. Zombili zinezakhiwo ze-V6 kanye nomthamo wamalitha angu-3.0. I-TFSI, uphethiloli, ithuthukisa amandla amahhashi angu-340, kuyilapho i-TDI, i-Diesel, ithuthukisa amandla angu-286. Kamuva, ngo-2018, ama-V8s azofika, nama-4.0 amalitha, futhi uphethiloli kanye ne-Diesel, ne-460 hp ne-435 hp, ngokulandelana.I-6.0 litre W12 nayo izoba khona futhi, vele, ngeke sikhohlwe nge-S8, okuzodingeka iphendukele enguqulweni egcwele amavithamini ye-4.0 V8 TFSI. Okujwayelekile kuzo zonke izinjini ukusebenzisa engu-8-speed automatic transmission kanye nedonsa ngamasondo amane.
Isistimu engu-48 volt, ekhona kuzo zonke izinjini, iguqula yonke i-A8 ibe yinhlanganisela, noma ama-mild-hybrids angcono (ama-semi-hybrids). Lokhu kusho ukuthi imodeli entsha ingase ibe nemisebenzi ethile eyingxube, njengokucisha injini ngenkathi ushayela, ukuyimisa ukuze isetshenziswe isikhathi eside kanye nokuthola amandla e-kinetic ngesikhathi sokubhuleka. Ngokusho komkhiqizo, kungasho ukonga uphethiloli ofinyelela ku-0.7 l/100 km ezimeni zangempela zokushayela.
Lokho uhlelo lwe-48-volt olungakuvumeli noma yiluphi uhlobo lokuzimela kukagesi. Lona uzobe ephethe i-A8 e-tron quattro – “full-hybrid” hybrid – ezoshada ne-3.0 litre V6 TFSI enenjini kagesi, evumela ukufinyelela ku-50 km wokuzimela kukagesi.
41 izinhlelo zokusiza ukushayela
Asisho futhi: izinhlelo zokusiza ukushayela amashumi amane nanye! Kodwa lapho siya khona… asiqale siye ngaphakathi.
Ingaphakathi lilandela amathrendi amancane esesivele sawabona ku-Prologue. Futhi okuqaphelayo cishe ukungabikho kwezinkinobho nama-analog manometers. I-A8 iphuma ne-Audi Virtual Cockpit futhi ihambisana nesikrini esisodwa kodwa ezimbili ku-centre console. Iphansi, 8.6 amayintshi, igobile. Kukulezi zikrini lapho sizothola khona i-Audi MMI (Audi Multi Media Interface), engacushwa ibe namaphrofayili afika kwayisithupha, okuvumela ukufinyelela kumafunction angama-400 ahlukene.
Kodwa ngeke kube ngama-touch screen kuphela lapho sizokwazi ukufinyelela khona imisebenzi ehlukahlukene ye-MMI, njengoba i-Audi A8 entsha iphinde ivumele imiyalo yezwi futhi imisebenzi esemqoka ingafinyelelwa ngezilawuli ezisesondo lokushayela.
Phakathi kwezici eziningi sinesistimu yokuzulazula ehlakaniphile, enomsebenzi wokuzifundela, ukumiswa kwekhamera noma isistimu yomsindo ye-3D.
Kukhona nezinhlelo eziningi zokusiza ukushayela, ezingaphezu kwama-40 (akukho phutha... kunezinhlelo zokusiza ukushayela ezingaphezu kuka-40!), okugqamisa lezo ezivumela ukushayela uzimele, njenge-Traffic Jam Pilot enakekela «imisebenzi» ezimeni. yesiminyaminya sezimoto noma ukuhamba ngesivinini esiphansi (esifika ku-50 km/h emgwaqeni). Uhlelo lusebenzisa amakhamera, ama-radar, izinzwa ze-ultrasonic futhi, okokuqala emhlabeni wezimoto, isithwebuli se-laser.
Uhlelo luvumela imoto ukuthi izivule noma izivale yodwa, isheshise futhi ibhreke, futhi ishintshe indlela. Nokho, ngenxa yokuntuleka kwemithetho eqinile ezimakethe eziningi, akuyona yonke imisebenzi yesistimu engase itholakale kulesi sigaba sokuqala.
Lapho upaka i-Audi A8 entsha, ezimeni ezithile umshayeli angakwazi futhi ukuphuma emotweni futhi alawule imoto ngomakhalekhukhwini, ngemisebenzi ye-Remote Parking Pilot kanye ne-Remote Garage Pilot.
Ifika nini?
I-Audi A8 entsha izongena ezimakethe ezihlukahlukene ekuqaleni kwekwindla, futhi amanani entengo eJalimane kulindeleke ukuthi aqale ku-€90,600, kanti i-A8 L iqala ku-€94,100. Ngaphambi kwalokho, kulindeleke ukuthi yethulwe esidlangalaleni embukisweni wezimoto iFrankfurt Motor Show ngasekuqaleni kukaSepthemba.
