If you want to talk about the hatchback coupe in the joint venture brand, then many people can definitely think of Lingdu, which was also the precedent of the compact coupe of the joint venture brand at that time. Even the limelight is similar to that of the Civic. However, with the passage of time, Lingdu's product strength has gradually failed to keep up with the pace of development of the times. Coupled with the good sales of the 10th Generation Civic, Volkswagen has two particularly best-selling models in the compact sedan market, The Londez and Sagittarius.
Coupled with the fact that Lingdu adopts the Design Style of volkswagen family, many people see that he looks similar to Langyi and Sagittarius, so Lingdu's competitiveness is getting lower and lower, but recently a new generation of Lingdu official figures were released. And renamed Lingdu L. This model finally does not adopt a family-style design style, and has its own design characteristics. So can this model bring Lingdu's product line back to life?
First of all, from the appearance point of view, this new car finally no longer adopts the Design Style of the Volkswagen family. It gives people a bright feeling.
However, the shape design of the front face is very controversial, especially the style of the big mouth under the front of the car is similar to a smiley face, and it feels that the shape of the new car is more fashionable, and it is not very related to sports. However, in terms of styling, it is still very technological, such as LED headlights, including the design of the front and tail through the taillights.
On the side of the body, the very smooth body line of the previous generation model is still maintained, and the transition from the roof to the rear of the car is very smooth, and it is natural to slightly tilt an angle on the rear of the car.
The through-type taillights and the exhaust port shape of the bilateral single outlet are very sporty. However, to a large extent, the exhaust outlet should be a decorative exhaust outlet, not a real exhaust outlet.
As a sports coupe, sports elements are certainly indispensable, so the two necessary sports elements, one is a frameless door, and the other is the hatchback tailgate, which is well reflected in the new generation of models.
I believe that many people buy this car for these two typical design features.
In terms of interior design style, the new model also has bold innovations and breakthroughs, that is, the design of the horizontal large joint screen, which is still relatively rare in the past Volkswagen family models. It reflects a very strong sense of technology, but the overall layout is still the design style of the Volkswagen family, especially the design of the electronic gear with a very small size does have a lot of similarities with the Golf.
As for the suspension and powertrain, everyone is very familiar with it, and they don't even need to repeat it too much. 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.
So after the new car is listed, the benchmark model is definitely a sports car like Civic, so do you think that the new generation of models can surpass Civic in terms of product strength?
