Hello everyone, I am the owner of Volkswagen Bora, my own Bora is 2021 1.5 liters automatic comfort intelligent version, half a year before the car when the naked car price is 108,000 yuan, now has opened more than 5,000 kilometers, for the use of the vehicle experience has a certain experience, recently just saw colleagues mentioned a Yidong top version, That is, the 2021 1.4T flagship version, after the discount, the price was less than 100,000 yuan, and it was already known that the domestic model was cost-effective, but after driving, it was found that the gap between the joint venture car and the domestic car was so large.
In terms of appearance, Volkswagen Bora adopts the iconic banner type mesh design, the chrome trim strip in the middle is simple but not simple, the entire front and side of the car are used with tough lines, the rear bumper is prominent in addition to the conventional taillights, the whole car gives people a sense of stability, the front face of the Yidong PLUS adopts a family-style design, and the S-style red mark is added on the fully blackened grille to create a sense of movement, while the design of the double waist line on the side of the body lengthens the body transverse vision, and the rear uses through-type taillights. Personally feel that this design manufacturers are somewhat deliberate to create a young sports atmosphere, not as simple and atmospheric appearance as Bora more durable, buy Yidong must choose cement gray body color, and the overall appearance of the shape is more compatible, and the manufacturer's main red appears too ostentatious.
In the interior workmanship materials, Yidong PLUS to pull back a round, first of all, Dalian screen, narrow air conditioning outlet, bright plastic decorative board for the car to add a lot of high-tech atmosphere, the central control screen and seat are wrapped in leather, riding experience and touch material are very comfortable, not blindly push the configuration, and The interior of Bora is too simple, although the co-pilot also uses a black bright plate, the shift area uses a bright edge design, and the leather steering wheel also supports multi-functional control. But the overall configuration and workmanship materials are really not flattering, especially the longer the time, the more you will find that this car is similar to the Jetta, and the feeling of being old is very strong.
Yidong PLUS uses a 10.25-inch full LCD color display, and volkswagen Bora's driving display is still a small size semi-mechanical screen, a larger display needs to add money to choose, in the central control of the car machine, Bora also only used 8 inches without navigation, GPS car control, for which some people will say that Bora than Yidong PLUS more car play and car life function, but think about it, you will find that these two functions only apply to the car machine screen itself is not good models.
As a traditional model, Bora originally did not feel any problem in daily road driving, but when you drove through the escape, you know how important the lane departure warning, the front car collision warning, the adaptive cruise, the 360 panoramic image of these driving assistance functions and safety configuration are, when you use an active braking function, you will find that the comfortable and safe configuration is far more important than the brand, of course, under the effect of the current Volkswagen brand, Bora is more normal than the Yidong premium of tens of thousands of dollars. And there are indeed many small problems in the late reputation of Yidong PLUS, which brings no small test to users like me who are loyal to traditional brands.
In terms of power and driving experience, volkswagen Bora, code-named DMB engine, has a maximum horsepower of 113 hp and a maximum torque of 145 Nm per meter, while the Yidong PLUS, which is famous for its Blue Whale engine, is a 1.4T engine with a maximum horsepower of 160 hp, and a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission is also superior to Volkswagen in transmission efficiency. The biggest feeling of the overall driving experience is that Bora in the low-speed stage and Yidong PLUS is almost the same, belongs to the very comfortable and resilient chassis tuning, once mentioned in the medium and high speed, the self-priming engine of the small horse-drawn cart will be reflected, and even under the same displacement, the current model that is more meaty than Bora has been rare, and the Yidong PLUS can do zero hundred acceleration for 9.3 seconds, although there is still a certain gap from the "steel cannon" performance car, but the daily overtaking is enough, and there is no need to worry about power when traveling. However, there is a point in after-sales maintenance that is very surprising, that is, the domestic Yidong PLUS conventional maintenance price and replacement accessories are not less than those of the joint venture brand Volkswagen.
Conclusion: After driving Volkswagen Bora, and then driving a friend's Yidong, finally found the difference between domestic and joint venture cars: "Bora as one of the representative models of Volkswagen's fuel vehicles, sales, brand, word of mouth, reliability, durability have been fully tested, is a model that can hardly make mistakes after selection, while Yidong PLUS, although it is topped with a stronger blue whale engine, a higher power configuration and a lower price, there is still a long way to go, of course, This is also the only way for every international first-line manufacturer to take."
