After slightly lengthening the body Chinese name has also added an L, the front face has been greatly changed to break through the previous Volkswagen matryoshka design style, and the frameless doors, hatchback tailgates and other elements in the appearance of the model emphasize its main young personalized market.
Volkswagen Lingdu's original English official name is lamando, on the car friends forum, this word reads a bit like spicy steamed buns, so car owners usually refer to Lingdu as spicy steamed buns, and when the new generation is released, a nickname voting campaign was done. In addition to "spicy steamed buns", there are several alternative voting names such as "spicy tiger tiger", "spicy hot", "spicy spicy", "romantic", etc., although the name results may not be announced tomorrow, if there is no accident, from the current voting results, it is in line with the traditional name "spicy steamed buns". Of course, the main reason is that other alternative names are not very attractive, if the "hot girl" and so on are added to the list, netizens will definitely cooperate with the prank.
From the point of personalization, Volkswagen Lingdu seems to be learning from local manufacturers Great Wall Motors. Haval big dog, Haval first love, Haval divine beast has now been played to everyone familiar, January 3, Great Wall Motors also gave a group of Haval new SUV model "X DOG" name for people to vote, the official selection includes two dogs, iron dogs, small wolf dogs, fun dogs, strong dogs, cool dogs, hot dogs, star dogs, Yan dogs and puppies A total of ten names were shortlisted. Finally, on January 9th, Haval finally decided to use "Cool Dog" as the final name. Of course, the design of these activities is more because of the release of links designed to strengthen interaction with consumers, otherwise, it is really named after the routines that netizens have always been spoofed, in fact, the owner of the car driving the "two dogs" and "little wolf dogs" on the road must be a high probability thing.
The new generation of Volkswagen Lingdu L is based on the MQB Evo platform, with a length of 4784 mm, a width of 1831 mm, a height of 1469 mm and a wheelbase of 2731 mm. The exterior adopts a new language, slip-on shape and bezel-less door design, the large front grille is very personal, different from other Volkswagen models, and the rear also uses a new style of through-type taillights. The interior is equipped with mainstream dual screens, a steering wheel similar to the ID. family, a penetrating air conditioner outlet and a small electronic barrier design. The suspension is a combination of front McPherson + rear multi-link suspension, powered by a 1.4T engine, with a maximum output of 150 hp and a peak torque of 250 Nm, matching a 7-speed dry dual-clutch transmission.

On the one hand, the market demand in the general environment has changed, caused by the decline in its own competitiveness, on the other hand, the model has not been updated for a long time, and the replacement of Lingdu L has reiterated its market positioning, and has also made quite a lot of changes, seeing that SAIC Volkswagen will support a sales support point, and for a new beginning, whether it will be accepted by consumers, it may be more to wait and see the intention of the follow-up price.
