I don't know if everyone is the same as the brother, I am most impressed by the volkswagen Lingdu, probably staying at the beginning of its listing, the vigorous promotion of "luxury wide body coupe" selling point.
"As a wide-body coupe, it is OK for a family to travel in the front row, so as to show the width of the car."
"A couple broke up because they bought a volkswagen Lingdu, and the reason why the girl felt that the co-pilot and the main driver were too far apart and couldn't stand the long-distance relationship."
"The rear seat of the Volkswagen Lingdu, because the body is too wide, so it can fully put down the next 8 seats, not to mention the family travel, that is, three families travel, it is no problem at all."
The above content is the spoof content of netizens on LingDu at that time, and everyone should watch a joke. Although from the perspective of the manufacturer, the marketing of this wave of "luxury wide-body coupe" is a thorough overturn, but this does make Lingdu's car a fire in the car circle that year, and the sales are quite good. However, with the passage of time, Lingdu has not been replaced for a long time (it has been 7 years), coupled with a more awkward positioning, and its presence in the Volkswagen system has gradually declined.
There is a reason for this, why do you suddenly want to talk about Lingdu, which is a relatively unpopular model in the Volkswagen car series, because it has recently been replaced, and there are still many controversies.
By the way, the new Lingdu has changed its name, the name has kept up with the trend, the suffix has more "L", the correct name is Lingdu L.
Of course, the point of controversy this time is no longer the "luxury coupe" that was played badly by netizens, but its appearance, to be precise, should be the front face.
If you remember correctly, the earliest brand that widely used the "matryoshka doll" front face design in its own new car was Volkswagen. Believe it or not, you put together the pictures of the front faces of all volkswagen cars, and I can guarantee that even if you are a person who understands cars, you will have to work hard to distinguish which car is a Passat, which is a Langyi, which is Sagitar...
Just when everyone thought that the front faces of all Volkswagen fuel vehicles looked the same, Volkswagen officials seemed to start to be more real, quite a kind of rebellious boy "I am not biased" persistence. Looking at this front face design, covering the car logo, I thought which Korean car was new? If you look closely, isn't this front face "venom"? I don't believe you compare and contrast.
The inverted trapezoidal style grille, with the luminous Volkswagen logo, the through-type light strip and the willow leaf light group, is like an object grinning at you at all times, whether it looks good depends on the personal aesthetic, but the personality is absolutely full. Of course, if it is a black appearance, the grille and the body "blend", the visual impact will be slightly weaker.
Compared to the extremely personality of the front face, the side and rear design of the Lingdu L will look much more conventional, and you can think of it as a small version of the CC.
The sporty slipback roof, the stylish multi-segment waistline, and the low and slender body design elements are all in place.
The frameless doors missing from the previous generation of models have also been supplemented by the new model, and the degree of pulling wind has risen again. Fingers crossed, the new Lingdu L should be the cheapest fuel car with frameless doors you can buy.
Of course, this generation of Lingdu L is not only attracted by the frameless doors, but also its hatchback tailgate, which is also the envy of the old owners. The hatchback tailgate can be summarized as two benefits, the first is definitely to pull the wind, and the second is to have a stronger carrying capacity.
There are drawbacks too. Models with hatchback tailgates are sound insulated, which is worse than traditional sedans and has a greater test of body rigidity.
Entering the car, the new Lingdu L abandoned the previous generation design and adopted the latest family design language, but with further improvements. The most obvious is the double screen design in front of you, but if you look closely, it is not the graphic design adopted by most car companies, but with a folded angle, slightly inclined to the main driver, which is also a snack. In other aspects, the whole interior design is not much to say, the overall design is well-behaved, and the lines are straight forward.
Golf 8 with the same electronic gear lever praise, understand the brother has always felt that the electronic gear rod, whether it is the overall shape or the elegance of the operation, is far better than the mechanical gear l, and now Lingdu L are popular, is a good thing.
In terms of power, first of all, it is regrettable to tell everyone that the latest overseas 1.5T engine is still not available, which is really disappointing. The new car still uses the familiar 1.4T + 7DCT power combination, the maximum power is 150 horsepower, the maximum torque is 250 Nm, I can say it with my eyes closed. Nothing else to say, I hope Lingdu L hurry up on the 1.5T engine, after all, its own mid-term modification Sagitar has to confirm the installation, your new car actually did not follow up, how to say it can not be said, right?
Write to the end
Let the brother simply summarize the new Lingdu L, that is, six words: "Do not play cards according to the routine". Whether it is the abandonment of the matryoshka front face design, and the use of a very personal and flamboyant shape, or the use of a 1.4T engine in a very ironclad manner, it is a bit confusing. In other aspects, the brother understands that it is quite good, and there is nothing to complain about.
Finally, I would like to ask you a question, in the case of similar prices, will you choose Lingdu L, or choose Civic or Type? Feel free to let me know in the comments section!
