When it comes to the most beautiful coupe of volkswagen, I believe that many people will definitely jump out of the beautiful figure of Volkswagen CC in their minds, its slippery back line, very forced frameless doors, the car once it came out, immediately received countless praise around the world, after all, the Volkswagen designer who holds the ruler to draw can create such an elegant coupe.
Therefore, after tasting the sweetness of Volkswagen CC, Volkswagen also launched a so-called "wide-body luxury coupe" Lingdu to the Chinese market, the new car in the early stage of listing, with the price of the people, and the frequent appearance in the national variety show "Run", it also won the recognition of many consumers, and it also gained the nickname of "Spicy Steamed Buns" (Lamando harmonic), which shows how hot Lingdu was at that time.
However, with the rise of independent brands, they have also launched many coupe models that meet the preferences of young consumers, and they are far superior to the current Lingdu in terms of comprehensive product strength such as power and comfort, which in turn leads to the decline in the sales volume of the latter in this market segment, and it is no longer glorious.
In fact, SAIC Volkswagen has been thinking about solutions, and the replacement and upgrading of the current Lingdu is also imminent. On January 17, SAIC Volkswagen officially released the new Lingdu L, which not only ushered in a comprehensive update in appearance and interior, but also improved in body size, so the name also carried "L".
Specifically, we can clearly find that the front face shape of Lingdu L adopts the latest design language of the Volkswagen family, which is somewhat similar to the design style of the pure electric ID family, the traditional middle grid grid is moved down to the bottom, and the dot matrix decoration is used to create a visual perception of "opening the mouth to laugh". At the same time, the headlight group of the new car is connected to the illuminated car logo by a penetrating LED strip, which is quite recognizable.
In the side part, the body posture of Lingdu L is more low than that of the current model, and the design of the double waist line is matched with the sneaky back line of the roof and the double five-frame sports wheels, which further increases the dynamic posture of the whole vehicle. What must be said here is that thanks to the 4784mm length and 2731mm wheelbase, Lingdu L was able to borrow the C-pillar design of the "family big brother" CC, and the two cars looked very similar on the side, which also confirmed the name of the new car "Little CC".
Lingdu L's rear shape echoes the front face, but also adopts a design language similar to the ID. family, the new LED through-type taillight group with the luminous VW logo, further stretching the visual effect of the tail, with the upturned ducktail tail and the following through-type chrome strip, the layering of the entire rear is not bad, and the recognition is also there.
In terms of interior, Lingdu L also adopts a new center console design, 10-inch full LCD instrument and 12-inch central control screen composed of dual screens, rendering a good sense of science and technology for the car, and the gear shift mechanism is also replaced by the previous mechanical gear handle to the lever-type electronic gear, the entire interior design is a simple style, in line with the preferences of young consumer groups now.
In terms of configuration, the new car also showed full sincerity this time, frameless doors, hatchback tailgates, 30-color streamer mood lights, Beats audio (8 speakers), IQ. Drive L2 driver assistance system and more. In particular, the addition of frameless doors and L2-level assistance systems will undoubtedly attract the attention of consumers more than the current Lingdu.
In terms of power, the new Lingdu L is equipped with the golden powertrain of the EA211 1.4TSI engine and the 7-speed DSG dual-clutch transmission, which has a maximum power of 110 kW, a peak torque of 250 N·m, and is equipped with four driving modes to fully meet the differentiated needs of users.
Write at the end
In general, in addition to the front face design of Lingdu L, the appearance of the whole car is undoubtedly a huge improvement compared to the current Lingdu, and the addition of the back shape and frameless doors and other configurations further improves the market competitiveness of the car. It is believed that if the new car can maintain the starting price of the current Lingdu, Lingdu L is bound to get back its own share in the sports car market segment. The question is, as a consumer, can you accept the strange "smiley face" of the new Lingdu L?
