Default Exploring Beijing by Audi A4L

A quick glance will not note anything special about this white 2010 A4L. The extra 2.36 inches leg room for the back passengers doesn’t impact the dynamic roof line and the original well proportioned sporty silhouette. Unless there is a standard A4 next to it, most people will not even notice the difference. However, once we sit in the back, the extra leg room is greatly appreciated. Since 2000, Audi has been very successful in selling A6L in China. A4L is definitely following its brother’s footstep. For 22 years, Audi has been the number one premium brand in China. In 2007, China became the largest Audi export market surpassing UK and US. In 2009, there are about a total of 600,000 Audi cars. Based on the increasing number of yearly sales, China is poised to become the largest Audi export market in the world…

The temperature today is 82 Fahrenheit and humid. We sit outdoor at Olio Dome Asia-meet-West fusion restaurant. Just in front of the restaurant, our Audis – A4, A5, RS6, TTR - are parked in a military formation. The number of highways in this 270 square-mile island country is small and the speed limit is fully enforced by speed cameras and police force in Subaru WRX’s. So, Audi Club Singapore organizes track events and social driving vacations to the neighboring country, Malaysia. Social gatherings are held frequently at different venues around town. Additionally, the club organizes European driving vacations and Audi factory tours. Over tropical drinks and fusion appetizers, we exchange our Audi driving experiences. It is a perfect way to complement our 3 day Singapore exploration by car...

Traffic during commute hours in Beijing can be very tiring. Long waits and bumper to bumper cars moving at a snail’s pace are daily occurrences. The weather in Beijing can be draining to its inhabitants. Bone-chilling temperatures with arctic wind chill factor in the early spring can be made worse by a sand storm coming from the desert. Thankfully, in this apocalyptic weather, our A4L isolates us from the nature’s wrath. The front and back silky-smooth leather seats, the extra leg room in the back, the noise reduction material used in the car interior, and the concert-hall quality audio system create a tranquil oasis for us. The rear passengers can adjust the rear temperature separately from the front by adjusting the controls found just behind the middle front-passenger hand rest. Being driven in an A4L, I experience what the Chinese market wants; exceptional comforts, abundant interior space, superb quality, unparallel luxury, and dynamic design…

Wow, this reads like its right out of a J. Peterman catalog!

Will the extra 2.36" allow one to wear an Urban Sombrero while sitting in the backseat?

Without digging through all the galleries, is there a direct link to what the extended length A4 looks like? Only seeing front view.
