It is interesting to choose to push this manuscript on January 10th. Because seven days later, that is, January 17th, this will be the replacement model of Volkswagen After a gap of seven years. The new SAIC Volkswagen Lingdu is definitely a novel, or "strange" new car, it seems to be more like a "China special car" based on a new platform, because it does not seem like a Volkswagen family model.
First of all, after so many years of replacement, the new SAIC Volkswagen Lingdu is a new car built on the MQE evo platform, and the current Golf 8 generation and Skoda Octavia Pro belong to the "same door". Its appearance will also allow Volkswagen to appear a new A+ level, the purpose of which can be benchmarked against FAW-Volkswagen Sagittarius. Since it is necessary to benchmark the A+ level, it is not enough to just extend the new platform and size, come and see what other highlights the new car has.
I believe that everyone has guessed that this is a Volkswagen with a completely different appearance. The new car uses the same through LED strip as the Volkswagen Golf in terms of light source group, and is matched by two huge and charming LED headlights. And it can be seen that the shape of the engine cover of the vehicle is tilted from high to low, showing a relatively low front shape. Paired with the two front face design styles of the same model as the Volkswagen Passat, the new Lingdu has a "joyful" but stunning feeling.
Previously, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's declaration map had exposed the taillight shape of a new generation of Lingdu. It can be seen that the new car adopts a transparent shell of blackened red taillight design, and the area of taillights is larger, and the middle is decorated with Volkswagen logos. The hidden exhaust layout below, a closer look, is not difficult to find that the width of the new car far beyond the waistline on both sides, the streamlined feeling and visual effect presented are quite good.
Since there are two front faces, it must be available in two versions like the new Passat. As can be seen from the latest MINISTRY of Industry and Information Technology declaration chart, the new generation of Lingdu will also be available with an "L" version, and the wheelbase and size will increase. In terms of size, the new generation of Lingdu is 4784/1831/1469mm in length, width and height, and the wheelbase is 2731mm. For reference, the current Lingdu has a length, width and height of 4615/1826/1425mm and a wheelbase of 2656mm. The wheelbase has increased by 75mm.
In terms of interior, the new generation of Volkswagen Lingdu will adopt a new interior design style, and this new interior style is also the first fuel model equipped with A-class Lingdu. And from the spy photos we can see that the new car will use a three-frame multi-functional steering wheel, a wrapped large-size LCD + central control integrated touch screen, and the use of yacht-style small gear handle shape, unlike the traditional in-line stall bar design of Langyi.
In terms of power, the new generation of Lingdu will be equipped with a 1.4T engine, which is matched by a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The powertrain has a maximum power of 110 kW. Among them, the new car is also expected to be equipped with a 1.5T evo engine, which may be the first in China, with a maximum power of up to 118kW, a maximum horsepower of up to 160 horses, and a maximum torque of 250N·m.
At the same time, the car can also provide 16-inch, 17-inch and 18-inch rims, and is equipped with front front dual airbags, front seat side airbags, head air curtains and driver's knee airbags. For safety does not need to think too much, if the new generation of Volkswagen Lingdu in the configuration and power of the improvement, while can accept the new appearance of the design, the new generation of Lingdu is a good choice.
