Remember Volkswagen Lingdu? The body that was blackened because of the promotional term "luxurious wide-body coupe" has recently been replaced.
A new generation of the new Lingdu L was recently officially unveiled, this car is based on the MQB EVO platform to build, the size of 4784/1831/1469mm, wheelbase 2731mm, on the basis of the old model has a certain degree of lengthening, the width of the car has not changed much, in addition to the design of the great changes.
Looking at the front face first, the old Lingdu uses the front face of the Volkswagen family-style horizontal chrome front grille, while the new model adopts a "big mouth" type air intake grille, which integrates a black honeycomb mesh inside, which looks more sporty, and the IQ.Light light group inexplicably adds some joy to the car.
The body line on the side is more slender, using a small slipback design, the A-pillar is moved forward, and the double waist line design makes the whole car appear more low and sporty. What's more, the car also features a frameless door design, a bit like the small Volkswagen CC.
The tail adopts a penetrating LED tail light, which is close to the Volkswagen ID series, and adopts a blackened design, the Volkswagen LOGO can be lit, and the lower part is also added with THE LAMANDO L English letter, and the tail is slightly upturned in the design, which enhances the sense of movement.
The interior changes are also very large, compared to the conservative interior design of the previous Volkswagen model matryoshka doll, the new generation of Volkswagen Lingdu L adopts a dual-screen design, a 10-inch full LCD digital driving instrument, a 12-inch touch LCD central control screen together, which is more youthful than Volkswagen's previous models, and the gear handle is also replaced with a delicate small gear handle, a three-spoke racing-style multi-functional steering wheel, based on a new flat-bottom shape, the interior appears more technological and younger.
In terms of power, it continues to be equipped with a 1.4T engine, which can output up to 150 horsepower and peak torque of 250 Nm, matching a 7-speed dry dual-clutch transmission. In this regard, nothing has changed in the new Lingdu L.
Volkswagen Lingdu in recent years in the Chinese car market has been in a tepid state, last November, Volkswagen Lingdu monthly sales of 5882 vehicles, January-November cumulative sales of 47239 vehicles, and the same level of Sagitar gap is far.
The main reason is because the price of this car is high, and in terms of design, powertrain, and ride space, there is no essential gap with models such as sagittarius with lower prices, taking the market guidance price of 21 models as an example. Lingdu's 1.4T top version has reached 186,900, far more than the same level of Sagitar's 165,900, in fact, this price has been almost the same as the 1.4T version of the Price of The Magn, but the 4615mm length and the wheelbase of 2656mm do not have any advantages, known as wide-body coupes, but the width of 1826mm, in today's small advantages.
And the advent of Volkswagen's new generation of Lingdu L may be able to solve this problem, although it is still familiar with 1.4T with a dual-clutch transmission, but the new product design, the design of frameless doors, may make this car harvest a wave of good market heat.
