Audi A3 new technology outlook

Audi A3 will a new generation in the 2012 Geneva motor show the official launch, the first full of the MQB platform technology to bring us new car what new things? And the public-audi models before the than technology, it is the highlight of said what? Next, we will serve for you the sole analytical.

What is MQB?

MQB is the group's latest exhaust engine Modular platform (Modular Querbaukasten), hereinafter referred to as MQB. It will replace the current PQ25, PQ35 and PQ46 platform, the modular platform will be in public, audi, skoda and maaseiah, the four brands get extremely extensive application, and production from A00, A0, A to B four levels of the models.

MQB platform for the research and development of the new platform of the mass group more achievements in research, such as the MLB longitudinal buy audi engine modular platform and porsche MSB modular standard platform, MQB platform with becomes tapped engine development manufacturing mode the turning point of the models. MQB will be a lot of auto parts realizes standardization, make they can in different brands and different levels of models in sharing. So, the application of this technology will greatly reduce the models of development costs, cycle and the production process manufacturing cost.

On the other hand, the application of MQB platform will also change the traditional concept car production line. In the new platform under the help, Volkswagen and audi future only need to differentiate MQB and MLB two different product line can, it will greatly enhance the public in the vehicle production flexibility and flexible production line. In the foreseeable future, even the audi TT and golf such two paragraphs, the performance of the obvious difference appearance models, also can be in modular platform with the help of technology, achieve easily total production line.

Because MQB the workbench models from the beginning of the design using modular train of thought, so in appearance, interior design style, also used the same brand of car MQB mode between each will also reflect a more distinct family-based style, popular said, whether Volkswagen and audi, or skoda (XiYaTe due to go movement and individual character, perhaps a little a route is better), later as long as it is MQB mode of, is all sizes of the German "sets conditions".

In the body of the A3, we can see that the new face of A3 before and percentile, the new A6 (A6 from longitudinal inverted MLB platform, but many design is also very approximate) and other types of high similarity, flying wing type headlights and DaoTiXing front grille are these new models altogether, and LED lights appear daytime driving is not like audi designers that said only "difference models" needs, also better highlighted the simple sense. And relatively more long tail lights and also in these new car reflected, let the characteristics of family-based very outstanding. The new face of A3 before and the new A6 (left) and car DVD player percentile (right) and other types of high similarity. This new car tail lights of several kinds of audi modelling style also very approximate.

In fact, the future for MQB platform vehicles with the difference between the main focus on wheelbase, suspension, car camera, 

the choice of the ways of set-up, powertrain, driving mode (two/raider) and so on, and in these differences behind the 60% of parts can be used as a general parts are Shared by all MQB platform vehicles.
