All along, most of the car companies are working hard for the family car market, they want to launch a model that meets the needs of the public to meet consumers, after years of precipitation, now exists and develops well car companies have one or two cars are relatively excellent, so in the partial home positioning of the market has tended to a stable. However, because the migration of the current consumption stage has led to a large number of young consumers pouring into the market, so for young people, there must be a relative target model, so as to leave this consumer class. Like the first two years of the modern listing of Fiesta is typical, it through the exaggerated design rendering of the sports atmosphere, has made it a fire in the market, followed by their own Elantra, can be regarded as catching up with this "dividend", so after they tasted the "sweetness", more and more car companies have begun to explore their sports style cars. And the car I want to introduce today is one of them, this time Volkswagen is finally "young", the new car frameless door + through the double screen, with 1.4T is cheaper than CC.
This car is volkswagen Lingdu L, speaking of Volkswagen Lingdu I believe that everyone is not unfamiliar, but with the addition of an L suffix many people are not very familiar, in fact, it is the latest Lingdu, after upgrading the product. For the previous generation of Lingdu, I myself still have some understanding, because at that time, when my friends around me bought a car, they considered Langyi and Lingdu, but after comparison, it was found that Lingdu's cost performance was not high, the specific reason is that Lingdu and Langdu are actually A-class cars, but different from Langyi, The appearance design of Lingdu is more fashionable, especially the shape of the coupe, which is very popular with young people. However, on the premise of the same power (both are 1.4T with seven-speed double clutch), Lingdu's configuration is lower, the price is a little higher, so it is not a person who is particularly obsessed with appearance, at that time I did not recommend choosing Lingdu, so at that time my friend also chose a 1.4T Langyi.
And time to now, Lingdu's advantage in appearance has been very small, because in the year when Lingdu was just listed, there were not many coupes or young sports cars on the market, so Lingdu naturally harvested traffic with its wide-body coupe style and the endorsement of the Volkswagen brand. But now, we look at the market, within 100,000, there are MG 5, Changan Yidong PLUS, and more than 100,000 are Elantra, Geely Xingrui, Honda Civic, etc. The performance of these models in terms of appearance has been distanced from Lingdu. Therefore, Lingdu can only enhance its product strength through new generation upgrades, and then obtain new market recognition. So the new Lingdu L returned, in the appearance and interior have been upgraded, the use of frameless doors, and is also SAIC Volkswagen's first through-double screen model, using Volkswagen's MQB Evo platform as a paving, the new model is still very competitive advantage in the market.
And now we will first take you from the appearance to take a brief understanding, first of all, the front face, the front face of the public this time changed the traditional style of the past, the choice of a "big mouth" style of air intake grille, similar to the mesh processing is very sporty. The top of the grille is the car logo, the car logo is embedded in the hood, and there are light strips on both sides to penetrate, combined with the illuminated car logo, so that its overall fashion atmosphere has risen a lot. In terms of headlights, the headlights of Lingdu L are relatively full, and there is a sense of sight of a sports car, both the atmosphere of Porsche and the aura of Aston Martin, I personally feel that the volkswagen design this time is very bold. Body side, in the treatment of the waist line is still very popular, smooth stretch with slippery rendering, the overall beauty is not missing, and with the same level of rare frameless doors, it makes its competitive advantage greater. The design comes to the tail, and the through-type light strip is not absent, and likewise, the logo of the tail can also shine, which is cool to light up. Finally, there is the body size, the length, width and height of this car are 4784/1831/1469mm, and the wheelbase is 2731mm.
Into the car, the interior design is also very young, but also broke the traditional pattern of Volkswagen, first of all, this car is a through-type double screen, which is the first time in the SAIC Volkswagen model, although we see more through-style design, but put on the Volkswagen model, all of a sudden really uncomfortable. At the edge of the display for the air conditioner air outlet, the stretch processing interacts with the display, personally feel that the sense of premium is still very strong. In addition, the gear handle has also been replaced by a new electronic gear of volkswagen, and the shape of the gear is very mini, so it can save a certain amount of space. In terms of configuration, because this car is not officially listed, so many things have not been specifically announced, but what is known now is that this car has a car network, reversing images, automatic parking, HUD head-up display, etc. It should be equipped with a very rich configuration on the top model, and the low-end and entry-level models are unknown.
Powerly, the car is expected to be powered by Volkswagen's classic EA211 engine, with a displacement and type of 1.4T and a maximum of 150 horsepower, matched by a seven-speed dry dual-clutch transmission. For Volkswagen's power system, I do not deny its power output, because I have driven 1.4T Langyi, the speed of that car is not bad, the power reserve as a home is enough, but the seven-speed dry double clutch setback is also true, because now many car companies in order to reduce costs, generally will use a dual clutch transmission, but most of the car companies use wet double clutch, so it is better. However, Volkswagen's car is dry double clutch, dry double clutch in the smooth driving is fine, if in the big city commuting rush traffic jam, stop and go, I will really be afraid of dry double clutch temperature is too high and broken, although this possibility is not very large, but you are dry double clutch will always give people this kind of concern.
In general, the product strength and products of the Volkswagen brand are beyond doubt, after all, it is the first batch of joint venture brands to enter the domestic market, not only has traffic but also has strength. And this time Volkswagen wants to enter the young people's coupe market, because in the field of family cars it already has Langyi, single month sales can reach tens of thousands of units, which is very stable. However, Volkswagen does have a certain product lack on the younger model, although the Volkswagen CC is very good, but it is too expensive and not acceptable to the average consumer. So the listing of this new Volkswagen Lingdu L is to fill this market gap, I have to say that this car in the appearance and interior design of the innovative component is very high, but also let us see the Volkswagen model of a new form, I personally think it is quite personality, now I just don't know how much positioning this car is, you all say that the positioning is more appropriate?
