Today's mainstream car consumers, mainly or pay attention to practical and comfortable two aspects, the best price is not expensive, so such as Toyota Corolla, Nissan Xuanyi these models have a relatively hot sales, and Volkswagen's Langyi and Sagitar models are also very popular with consumers, of course, Volkswagen also has a relatively niche personality model, some people say that it is a cross-border hatchback model, some people think that it belongs to the category of station wagons, this controversial model is the C-TREK Weiling to be introduced today.
C-TREK is currently selling 2020 models, divided into two versions, namely the 1.5L automatic fashion model with a guidance price of 125,900 yuan, and the 1.5L automatic comfort type with a guidance price of 135,700 yuan.
In terms of appearance, from the front face, the appearance of the Volkswagen model is very "cookie-cutter", but the C-TREK Wei neck still has certain characteristics, at least its grille inside the added undulating chrome trim, it seems to be a lot more lively, and the shape under the bumper is also closer to the SUV's spoiler design, so it is a crossover model without any problems. The 1.5L automatic comfort headlights are still made of halogen, and there is no difference between the low-end model, but the more steering auxiliary lights.
Come to the side, C-TREK Wei neck is more maverick, its D pillar tilt angle exceeds the average SUV, and is more dynamic than the general hatchback, of course, from the front wing through the waist line design to the tail, stretching the visual length of the body side, but C-TREK Wei neck only 4559mm body length, and the 2614mm wheelbase is not long. The 17-inch multi-width alloy wheels are the exclusive configuration of the 1.5L Automatic Comfort and match the 205-width tires. Above is a black wheel arch that only SUV models have, which stands out.
Coming to the rear of the car, the C-TREK Wei neck adopts an LED tail light similar to the L type, and the visual effect after lighting is very colorful, and the small tail wing above is also very natural, there is no sense of violation. The spoiler design is still used under the bumper, and the off-road style is full.
Entering the car, the interior design of C-TREK Weiling is not as personal as the appearance, but reveals a familiar public flavor, and the T-shaped center console layout is also a decent style, and uses black plastic materials and a small number of bright surface trim wrapping, which is not prominent in workmanship. The 1.5L automatic comfort model is equipped with a 6.5-inch central control touch screen, although it is much better than the low-end model, but whether it is the screen size or functionality, there is a certain gap with the mainstream level.
Entering the main driver's seat, you can see that the C-TREK veget has adopted a multi-function steering wheel with a flat bottom style and added a leather material wrapping, which is softer to the hand, but this is a configuration only available in the 1.5L automatic comfort type. In the safety configuration, there are more front side airbags, front and rear head air curtains, and reversing images, and the basic functions can still be satisfied. Of course, the traditional instrument panel design can also be seen in other Volkswagen models.
The C-TREK wei neck in the 1.5L automatic comfort type wrapped leather and fabric mix of seats, the touch is better, but still only supports manual adjustment of the seat mode, it seems a bit cheap. Fortunately, the comfort of the rear seats is still guaranteed, and the central headrest has been added, and there is no obvious bulge in the central platform under the feet.
The C-TREK collar is equipped with a large panoramic skylight overhead and supports opening to accommodate both lighting and ventilation needs. The rear seat support is proportionally reclined, so that the 499L conventional volume of trunk space can be further expanded, the maximum depth of 1820mm, coupled with the wide tailgate opening, practicality does not lose many larger size SUVs, which is also the advantage of the C-TREK Weiling.
In terms of power performance, C-TREK Weiling is more general, still equipped with Volkswagen 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, can output 82kW peak power, as well as 145N·m peak torque, the gearbox matches the 6-speed manual structure, the parameter performance is not obvious, but the advantage is that the stability is good, and the fuel consumption performance is also excellent, the comprehensive fuel consumption under NEDC conditions is only 6L/100km, Basically, the travel cost per kilometer is about 0.42 yuan, which is still very attractive for long-distance travel.
In terms of chassis, C-TREK Weiling adopts a front McPherson type independent suspension, and a rear torque beam type non-independent suspension, in today's market, this structural performance is relatively backward, and the driving texture and sound insulation and noise reduction performance are very general, but the advantage is that it can save space and maximize the ride and loading space in the car.
Write at the end:
From today's point of view, the comprehensive strength of C-TREK Weiling is not strong, and even the driving texture brought by the older platform has lagged behind the trend of the development of the times, of course, its configuration performance is also difficult to say rich, but with a more personalized wagon appearance, and not to lose the space practicality of SUV models, C-TREK Weiling can still get the favor of some consumers, but if it can reflect the sincerity in price, it will make the competitiveness of C-TREK Weiling better. In terms of specific models, although the 1.5L automatic comfort model is nearly 10,000 yuan more expensive than the low-end model, the extra practical configuration is completely worth the difference, so it is more worth recommending.
