As early as last year, the new generation of Lingdu real cars was exposed.
Once exposed, the new car is full of topicality. The reason is that the new car can not see the shadow of the current model from the design, and it can even be said that the design of the new car is quite bold.
Recently, we learned that the new car will be officially unveiled on the 17th of this month and is expected to be officially launched in the first quarter of this year.
The front face design of the new generation of Lingdu is very un-popular, and instead of using a larger size of the net like more and more Volkswagen new cars, only a thin slit is left. This also makes the new car look more like an electric car from the front face.
Not only that, the headlights of the new car adopt the design of picking outwards and upwards, so that the front face has a little spirit in the middle of the cuteness. However, the size of the water tank grille under the logo is quite large, which is similar to the design of many sports cars.
It is not difficult to find that the new generation of Lingdu tries to make the sport more thorough, which is actually in line with the positioning of Lingdu's car.
Since its listing, Lingdu has become one of the few sedan sports cars in China, and has ushered in a short-term highlight. However, over the years, Lingdu has not been replaced, and only a small upgrade has been carried out on the basis of the original.
At the same time, with the listing of a large wave of joint venture compact sports cars, Lingdu's advantages no longer appear. In particular, the rear space has become a big slot point for Lingdu.
The new generation of Lingdu has been increased in size, its length, width and height have reached 4784/1831/1469mm, and the wheelbase has been extended to 2731mm. It is not difficult to find that the new car has increased a lot in size compared to the new model, especially reflected in the length and wheelbase. It can be guessed that the problem of small space in the rear of the new car has been solved.
According to the exposed real car map, the trunk of the new car is likely to use a hatchback opening method consistent with CC, which greatly improves the practicality.
In terms of interior design, the new car continues Volkswagen's latest family design, using instruments and central control screen screen design, and the gear handle also adopts a paddle design similar to the new Golf.
It is worth mentioning that the new car adopts a frameless door design, which is rare in the same class. Hatchback + frameless doors, the new generation of Lingdu can be said to have further strengthened the sports and personalization, in line with the demands of young consumers.
Unfortunately, the new car will continue the current model, equipped with a 1.4T engine, a maximum power of 110kW, and a peak torque of 250Nm. We speculate that when the mid-term rebranding comes, the new car is expected to be equipped with the new EA211 EVO 1.5T engine, which can be exchanged for lower fuel consumption.
As one of the few sports-conscious sedans in China, the new Lingdu will now face competition from the new Civic, Hyundai Fiesta, Lynk & Co 03, Buick Veyron and other models. With many advantages such as frameless doors, hatchback compartments, and large space, the advantages of the new generation of Lingdu are still quite obvious.
