On January 17, the new generation of Lingdu officially debuted and attracted great attention in the media circle, the new Lingdu will be renamed "Lingdu L", the car debut caused so many people to pay attention, what are the highlights to see? Can it win a turnaround battle for SAIC Volkswagen? As a soldier in the media circle, he got a new information in advance, and I will take you to analyze its highlights below.
It is reported that Lingdu L uses Volkswagen's latest MQB EVO platform to build, the new car is positioned as an A+ class sedan, from the appearance point of view, Lingdu L adopts Volkswagen's new design language, the appearance is not lost to the Civic, type and other similar cars.
From the front face, Lingdu L has a super spacious shark grille mouth, the middle net has a large and small nebula-like element embellishment, which looks very unique, the grille with a certain curvature of the low-lying engine canopy, the entire front face shape is ten years younger than the old model, there is a middle-aged uncle into a "small fresh meat" feeling, the sense of movement is more intense.
But the most interesting is the LED headlights, daytime running lights, LED near and far headlights integrated in a light group, and independent of each other, it seems very personalized, this headlight group and then with the entire front face design, the new Lingdu L is very pleasing.
Although the new Lingdu L adopts a new design language, from the side, it still retains the universal language of Volkswagen, such as the sense of power highlighted by the design of the upper and lower waistlines. However, what can be shown is that Lingdu L adopts a sneakback design, and there is a visual feeling of a coupe. In terms of wheel hubs, Lingdu L medium and high equipped will be equipped with 18-inch wheels.
Of course, in addition to the big slip, large wheels, Lingdu L also adopted a frameless door design, such a design has good and bad, the advantage is to enhance the forced grid of the whole car, the luxury tone is more intense, look more advanced, the lack is that the vehicle sound insulation effect is the weakness of the frameless door.
Looking at the tail, the tail of the new Lingdu L is very symmetrical and looks very young. The most recognizable is its through-LED taillights, which not only look particularly advanced and cool, but also effectively widen the visual width of the whole vehicle, making Lingdu L look more atmospheric and calm.
Entering the interior, the most recognizable is the 10-inch full LCD instrument + 12-inch central control screen dual screen design, and the visual effect is presented with a very high sense of technology. Moving down from the center control screen, you can see that the new Lingdu L uses the same small paddle design as the Golf 8.
The interior gives me the feeling that, in addition to the slightly technological atmosphere of the central control display, the other aspects of the upgrade do not seem to be as stunning as the appearance. Regarding the interior aspect, we say so much for the time being. The body size, the new Lingdu L has a length, width and height of 4784/1831/1469mm, and a wheelbase length of 2731mm. From the data point of view, Lingdu L is not bad compared to Civic.
In terms of power, the new Lingdu L will be equipped with a 1.4T EA211 engine with a maximum power of 150 horsepower and a maximum torque of 250 N·m, and a transmission system, which will match the 7-speed DSG transmission. However, there is news that the new Lingdu L may also be equipped with Volkswagen's new 1.5T engine in the later stage, and further confirmation of such news is needed.
In the end, for Volkswagen in recent years, the proportion of market quota has been decreasing, Volkswagen needs a car that can reverse the current predicament to save the market, and the new Lingdu L is obviously sent by Volkswagen to a very big expectation, for this car, do you think there is a fight with Civic after the listing?
