After spy photos, declaration maps, real pictures and other rounds of preparation, the new generation of the public Lingdu came, this time also added a suffix after the name, the full name is Lingdu L. As the pioneering work of SAIC Volkswagen in 2022, this car is built using the MQB Evo platform, let's take a look at its official map and find out what highlights there are.
I have to say that after the rendering of the official picture, the front of the car seems to look better than the plain face photo seen before. The headlights are narrow and long, and the entire design language is not like the Volkswagen gasoline vehicles of the past, but close to the ID. family. A slender strip of lights connects the left and right headlights, and the middle net moves down, with dense dot matrix elements inside. This front face does take some time to digest, and I don't know what the difference will be with low-end cars.
The proportion of the side shape is still quite harmonious, the hood is not short, the center of gravity has the feeling of moving backwards, and it feels like the designer tries to portray the proportion of the rear drive car. The curve of the roof is rounded, creating a coupe painting style, the most attractive of course is its frameless doors, which should be the only existence at the same price, and the design of the wind is bound to attract the attention of young people.
The rear shape is also a new style, it is very full and compact, the through-type taillights are late but arriving, and the logo will also shine. In addition, the hatchback tailgate also appeared on the Lingdu L, and the opening was very large after opening, reminiscent of the brother octavia Pro of the same group.
The interior design of the new Lingdu L is also a rebirth, with elements such as dual screens, a new style steering wheel, touch buttons, and the 911 same gearbox shift mechanism to create a high-tech, simple visual effect. In addition, it also provides functions such as wireless charging of mobile phones and built-in ETC. The seat shape is also very sporty, the waist wrapping is also very in place, and the material has been punched to make it more breathable. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new car are 4784/1831/1469mm, and the wheelbase is 2731mm, which is an increase compared with the previous generation.
There are no surprises in the power part, still equipped with the familiar 1.4T turbocharged engine, and the transmission part is a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. However, SAIC Volkswagen will introduce a production line of 1.5T engines in the future, and it is estimated that it will be replaced by Lingdu L when it is remodeled. If you're not in a hurry to buy a car, you can wait, after all, that 1.5T engine is more technically and environmentally friendly.
GO Chejun comments: When peugeot 508 was introduced into domestic production that year, the frameless door and hatchback door design were cancelled, and it was complained about by netizens. Now Lingdu L in order to meet the needs of young consumers, take the initiative to add these two elements, in exchange for a more personalized sports effect than Sagitar, if you can accept its front face, then this Lingdu L is indeed a good candidate.
