With the liberalization of the two-child policy, 6-seater/7-seat models have gradually entered people's car purchase lists. In the early years, the only MPV you wanted to buy was almost exclusive of MPV, but many people would feel that the more business-oriented MPV drove like a driver, and if you don't like this feeling but have higher ride demand, you might as well consider an SUV.
A 6/7-seat SUV couldn't be more suitable. However, the third row of the 7-seat SUV model below the medium level is not optimistic, so if you want the people in the car to have a comfortable riding environment and meet their needs for advanced driving status, then the medium and large SUV seems to be the only choice. At present, in the price range of 300,000-500,000 yuan, the German Geminis of FAW-Volkswagen Lanjing and SAIC Volkswagen Tuon have obviously changed their identities to form a competitive relationship, so how to choose in the end?

FAW-Volkswagen: 380TSI four-wheel drive luxury Jiajing Edition Pro edition, official guidance price: 336,900 yuan
SAIC Volkswagen Tourang: 380TSI 4WD Premium Deluxe Edition, official guidance price: 342,000 yuan
FAW-Volkswagen uses the SMV Concept car model, the stout chrome decoration runs across the front of the car, and the chrome trim from the A column to the D column is a colorful work, and the refinement effect is remarkable. The front and rear are designed with through-line light sets, which are elegant and just right.
The front face of SAIC Volkswagen Tuang after the mid-term revamp of Tuang is much more fashionable than that of the old model, but the overall design language is still based on straight lines, and the slightly square shape visual effect is more stable, which is completely two styles with the landscape.
The design level has its own characteristics, the scope is newer and more avant-garde, while Tuon still maintains a calm design feature. However, the exterior part of the main sales model of the Frontier is equipped with 20-inch rims, while the main sales model of Tuon is 19 inches optional; the Lingjing has 8 body colors to choose from, while the Tuon only has 4 options. In addition, the models in the package are equipped with 8 external atmosphere lights, welcome light blankets and other configurations, which is undoubtedly a plus in terms of luxury creation.
It is worth mentioning that the IQ.Light intelligent LED matrix headlight system equipped with the environment will automatically switch the lighting mode according to different conditions such as driving, overtaking, high speed, bad weather, etc., such as automatically avoiding direct shooting at the driver of the car when the car is held; when the user is driving, IQ. Light automatically adjusts the low beam range based on the steering angle, while the steering assist light further extends the illumination range to provide the driver with a larger illumination area.
From the Volkswagen MQB platform, it is The largest SUV in the world, with a body size of 5152/2002/1795mm and a wheelbase of 2980mm. The wheelbase of Tuon is consistent with the boundary, and the length, width and height are 5052/1989/1773mm, which is smaller than the boundary.
In terms of actual perception, it is obvious that the aura of the territory is more sufficient. I have not understood why The Territory is larger than Tuang, and through the public insiders, it has been learned that the original product positioning of the Territory in the interior is higher than that of Tuang, which explains the problem of larger size, and there is also a more comprehensive and rich configuration.
The latest digital cockpit style adopted by The company adopts the dual screen design, of which the 10.25-inch full LCD instrument has excellent clarity and fluency, the benchmark of the same level; the 12-inch central control screen is built into volkswagen's latest CNS 3.0 system, which has a high degree of integration, rich functions, and optimized UI design. It is worth mentioning that wireless CarPlay, voice recognition and other interconnection functions are not absent.
The changes in the interior of the new Tuon have also been changed compared to the old models, further improving the sense of technology, and the co-pilot is also equipped with glowing trim in front, but the overall style can be seen, still walking in the simple style. Tuon's central control screen is 12.3 inches, built-in MOS 3.2 intelligent system, running smoothly, and the functionality is completely without problems.
The floating center console design, which is very rare in the same level and the same type of product, is more integrated in operation and functionality, and more importantly, it can bring larger and richer storage space, as well as "special sense" and "freshness" than the traditional center console design of Tu Ang.
In addition, many small functions and small details can also reflect the different characteristics of the two. The environment is equipped with 30 colors of adjustable translucent mood lights (except the entry-level version), relying on the design style of the wrap-around type, compared with the traditional atmosphere lights of the Tuang light belt, the light effect will be softer, and the atmosphere will be more warm.
In addition, the soft wrapping and real stitching design of the dashboard and door panel (Tuang part of the plastic material), whether it is feel or luxurious creation, the border is more in place. And the front door of the corridor adopts multi-layer soundproof glass, which is more quiet.
Touron upgraded both powertrains to the Harman Kardon sound system, but Lanjing has delegated this configuration to more models.
Taking the main sales model selected this time as an example, The Frontier is equipped with Travel Assist full-journey driving assistance system, including lane keeping, road traffic recognition, active braking and other functions, which Are not available to Tuon.
This is a pity for Tuon, the current Volkswagen equipped with the Travel Assist full-journey intelligent driver assistance system integration features are very rich, such as lane keeping, through the body around the camera to identify the lane line, the body is firmly fixed in the center of the lane line;
The road traffic identification function can transfer the road traffic signs that are moving from the external environment to the dashboard, allowing users to go to some unfamiliar cities or roads, which can avoid traffic rules;
The collision alarm and active braking can be put together to say that the vehicle will monitor the safety distance of the surrounding vehicle through the radar probe around the body, such as too fast may lead to a rear-end collision with the front car, then the active braking will be one step ahead of you.
FAW-Volkswagen And SAIC Volkswagen Tourang both adopt a 7-seat layout, but all of them support 6/7 seat selection, which are divided into different consumer needs. Among them, the 6-seat version of the independent executive seat and the 16mm super low platform are the highlights, and the ample legroom makes the second row comfortable and convenient for the third row passengers to get on and off.
The 7-seater model focuses on a variety of use spaces to meet just needs. Due to the difference in size and design emphasis, the trunk space ranges from 357-2451L to 286-2415L in the Tuon, and the third row of seats is reclined, and the boundary has an absolute bearing space advantage.
Even if the third row of seats is opened normally, the trunk still provides a good load carrying capacity, so that you no longer have to worry about "sitting people" or "putting things". With the advantages of body size, the territory can not only meet business needs, but also take good care of the family.
In addition, the B-pillar is also intimately equipped with air-conditioning outlets to bring more comfort to the rear passengers, while Tuon is not equipped with this function. In terms of safety configuration, both cars have performed well, Tuang vehicle 7 airbags, and the border is further upgraded, the vehicle 9 airbags fully wrap the passengers in the car.
Both models are equipped with 2.0T and 2.5T two kinds of displacement three kinds of power engines, taking the main sales model as an example, the same 2.0T high-power engine (380TSI), maximum horsepower 220Ps, peak torque 350N ·m, German car tradition, the actual acceleration level is faster than the data calibration, so driving two medium and large SUVs has no problem at all, even in the full state.
However, it should be emphasized that since FAW-Volkswagen has won the first advantage of volkswagen group's latest DQ501 gearbox, Lanjing has become the first model to be equipped with a seven-speed wet dual-clutch transmission (domestic) as standard in the whole series. So what's so good about this gearbox? Just more "1" than DQ500?
First of all, as the top gearbox matched by volkswagen's transverse platform, the DQ501 can carry a torque transmission of 600 N·m, secondly, the old version of the bearing scheme has been improved, and finally the dual pump system (mechanical + electronic) and the latest controller equipped by FAW-Volkswagen can greatly improve transmission efficiency, transmission speed and improve the cooling system.
The territory is equipped with a 4Motion constant-time four-wheel drive system, that is, a full-time four-wheel drive system, and Tuon uses a timely four-wheel drive system. It can maintain full four-wheel drive stage driving, and has a variety of driving modes such as sports, comfort, off-road, and snow.
These configurations are only reflected in the main sales models of The Frontier and the Tuon respectively, and the price of the Territory is even lower.
Summary: After comparison, in the case of lower prices, the main sales model has a richer technology configuration, driving assistance functions, driving modes and comfort configurations that can improve the texture of the whole vehicle, and the comprehensive strength is relatively better, which may include "newcomers" and "internal positioning", I hope that this content can bring you some car selection help.
