Volkswagen has been studying Chinese consumers for decades, and there are very few cars that it can't sell. But in this video, we found a niche model with no sense of existence from the Volkswagen. Is the public miscalculated?
The following is a text version
Just looking at the front face of this car, you will think that this is not a Magotan? But when you get to the side, the inside smell of the station wagon comes out. This car is the travel version of Magotan - imported Volkswagen Weilan. This car has undergone a small makeover not long ago, the overall appearance of the change is not much, the most amazing is the new Phantom blue car paint, with the R-LINE sports kit, it looks really a bit of R36 flavor.
To the car, it is still the smell of Magotan, the air outlet that runs through, the ancestral gear lever, the only thing that is somewhat new is the steering wheel of this new shape, in addition to the new Volkswagen logo, you can also see the full speed adaptive cruise, steering wheel heating These functional buttons, for a top model, it is a qualified performance.
There is also a small detail, the position of the table before, is now replaced by a decorative plate printed with a Passat, and the letters added to the rear of the car are superior, but added here, for the owners of the station wagons who pursue personality and style, it may be a bit of a spoiled atmosphere.
The first thing to explain when opening this new Weilan is that the new model only offers a low-power version of the 2.0T engine. Still mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission with a maximum horsepower of 190 hp and a maximum torque of 320 Nm. Listening to the data may be a little disappointing, but it actually drove up the overall performance is still good, I got on the car on the adjusted to the sport mode, this time the throttle response is very positive, low speed with the car will be a little channeling, is the Volkswagen's fierce force, the acceleration process is powerful and brisk, there is no obvious sign of fatigue within the speed limit.
At the same time, the chassis will be relatively hard in sport mode, the road sense is rich, and you can even feel the small seams of the road surface. More critically, WEILAN can bring different driving experiences through the differentiated settings of the throttle and DCC variable suspension in different driving modes.
Switching to comfort mode, the throttle changes from sensitive to a lazy feeling, the power becomes Buddha-tied, the chassis becomes softer, and the road sense becomes blurred. It also has a custom mode, you can match your favorite driving mode at will, I think this kind of personality, personalized driving experience is the biggest highlight of Weilan.
There are also some shortcomings in driving, first of all, the sound insulation is more general, the engine sound is more obvious when driving, and then the speed of ATUOHOLD unlocking is a little slow, and it is easy to be cut in line when following the car.
This experience of WeiLan made me feel that this station wagon is not only unique in appearance, but more importantly, the personalized settings of different driving modes can not only make you feel comfortable on the way home from work, but also let you have a little passion when you are in a good mood. Finally, it is time to return to reality to talk about the price, the guide price: 26.48-33.88 million, if we really like it, or steadfast and other preferential treatment.
