What does it mean to be a sports coupe? Some people say that it looks cool, what runs through the taillights, four exhausts, blackout kits, can be used all have to be used; some people say that the power is strong enough, how to be more than 250 horsepower 2.0T engine, 7 seconds within 7 seconds "break hundred"; others say that the hardware to pass, the plate car suspension is definitely not OK, the wheel hub is 18 inches, the four-piston brake caliper can only barely pass. All of the above, we can already see in the family cars within 200,000, and the threshold of the four words "sports coupe" seems to be getting lower and lower.
However, sports coupes such as the Volkswagen CC, Audi A7, and BMW 4 Series have one unique skill - frameless doors!
Nowadays, frameless doors, as the exclusive aura of high-end coupes, are finally broken by the new generation of "luxury wide-body coupes" wide-body Lingdu launched by SAIC Volkswagen, which is also the only frameless door sports car with domestic/joint venture cars within 150,000.
The latest news shows that the new generation of Lingdu will debut on January 17 and will be listed in the first quarter of this year.
Other details, the new car also redesigned the headlights, the overall outer outline is no longer the public's usual rectangular style, but the use of bionic lines outlined, with two sets of LED light sources and LED light strips (suspected flowing water turn signals), showing a more flexible visual effect.
The third trailer focuses on the design of the tail C-pillar, first of all, the chrome border is added to the edges of the window to enhance the sense of high-grade, and the inclination of the entire C-pillar is also larger than that of "grocery shopping cars" such as Langyi and Sagitar, and the feeling of slipping back is more sufficient.
If you refer to the Skoda Octavia Pro (also the Volkswagen MQB Evo), this Lingdu may also be a hatchback tailgate.
From the previous declaration diagram of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, SAIC Volkswagen's design for the new Lingdu is indeed quite "self-indulgent", especially the front face design, the front grille style visual effect of "opening and laughing" is quite magical, with black net filling, it looks very visual impact.
As a local model built by the auto-Volkswagen joint venture company for the Chinese market, the new generation of Lingdu does not seem to have to maintain commonality with Volkswagen's active models in terms of design, which is not only more radical in the joint venture brands that pursue family characteristics, even independent brands are not willing to use such an alternative front face shape on their models.
Of course, after all, it is a four-door coupe, SAIC Volkswagen still uses a lot of sports features for Lingdu, especially the down-pressing engine canopy design, so that the "VW" logo presents a beveled arrangement, rather than the Middle Net, which can't help but be reminiscent of Volkswagen Shangku, Audi TT, Toyota 86 and other small sports cars.
From the rear, the new car adopts a similar through-type taillight design as the Passat, under which is the popular "LAMANDO" mid-letter logo, the exhaust is hidden, and the lower surround is decorated with bright black horizontal stripes, and the entire tail looks very sporty.
At present, SAIC Volkswagen has not announced the interior, but it does not prevent us from obtaining its interior map from unofficial channels, low pixels do affect our appreciation of volkswagen's "sense of high-end", but like what suspension double screen, electronic barrier, new style steering wheel, through-air conditioning outlet and other functional module design layout, or clearly visible.
Worthy of being a localized model, SAIC Volkswagen has made efforts in figuring out the consumer psychology of Chinese.
The size of the new generation of Lingdu has also increased slightly, with a length, width and height of 4784/1831/1469mm, and a wheelbase of 2731mm, of which the wheelbase has increased by 75mm and the length has increased by 169mm, which is the standard of the proper A+ class sedan.
It is worth mentioning that the slogan of the overhead "wide-body coupe" and the body width of the new generation of Lingdu are also "expanded" by 5mm compared with the previous generation.
SAIC Volkswagen EA211 1.5TSI rolled off the line
As for the power, the version declared by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is still equipped with the EA211 1.4TSI engine, with a maximum power of 150 horsepower and a maximum torque of 250 Nm, which is also matched by the popular DQ200 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
As for the new generation of EA211 1.5TSI Evo engine, it is estimated that it will have to wait until the mid-term modification of FAW-Volkswagen launched in the first half of this year.
Summary
SAIC Volkswagen Lingdu, which has been "skipping tickets" for a long time, finally ushered in an iterative model in the first quarter of this year, 1.4T+DSG is still the original recipe, familiar taste, but the new electronic architecture from the MQB Evo platform will bring a better intelligent experience.
From the perspective of the market, the "magic front face" of the new generation of Lingdu makes it the most unsatisfactory public, although it makes people feel a little difficult to say, but it does attract the super high heat and network traffic that does not lose the "wide-body coupe" of that year.
What do you think about that?
