Speaking of Volkswagen's most beautiful models, I believe that many small partners first think of FAW-Volkswagen CC, Volkswagen's previous old-fashioned appearance design in the CC is gone, so CC has won the reputation of "Volkswagen's most beautiful coupe" in the minds of consumers. In the era led by the coupe trend, SAIC Volkswagen was not willing to accept the people, launched a sports coupe Lingdu, and formed a north-south duet with volkswagen CC. At that time, it also aroused widespread public attention, and the sporty appearance and shape, coupled with the 100-kilometer acceleration performance of about 6 seconds, also let many people know the young "warrior" under SAIC Volkswagen. However, this model was not upgraded in the future, allowing it to slowly leave people's sight.
Just when everyone is about to forget it, on January 17, 2021, a new generation of Lingdu was born again, and renamed Lingdu L, and the new car has made a comprehensive renovation in appearance and interior, just like a new coupe presented in front of our eyes. For the "comeback" Lingdu L will penetrate the interpretation of beauty into every detail of the design, with a large mouth "smiley face", through-type headlights, sneaky back shape and frameless doors, the new design language makes Lingdu L reach a new height in the expression of appearance.
First of all, from the perspective of the front face design, Lingdu L does not feel like a fuel vehicle, and is closer to the communication of personality elements by new energy vehicles. The new Lingdu L front face features a large through-view dazzling starry sky grille, and the internal dot matrix design is matched with slightly raised ribs on the hood, which is very dynamic.
The new headlight design is also completely out of the Volkswagen's previous family style, the through-type IQ.Light light group runs through the front of the car, together with the Volkswagen logo on the front face also adds a lighting effect, which can be lit together with the headlights, showing an electric vehicle-like sense of technology.
Coming to the side of the body, the overall body line is more agile, whether it is the side window or the entire body length has increased compared with the current model, making the sporting posture of the coupe more obvious. In addition, the new car also adopts a multi-waist line design, and the changeable line structure makes the body visually more three-dimensional, especially under the illumination of outdoor light, and the sense of layering is more prominent. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new car are: 4784/1831/1469mm, and the wheelbase is 2731mm.
In addition, Lingdu L can be said to be a model of the same level, which rarely adopts frameless door glass design, which truly embodies the shaping of sports coupes to every detail. Moreover, the use of the 18-inch Phantom flower blade wheels makes the new car's interpretation of sports play a "finishing touch".
The rear of The Lingdu L has also been redesigned, which not only reflects the sports elements to the fullest, but also brings a sense of fashion of new energy models. The slightly upturned ducktail tail provides a better wind resistance coefficient, and the through-blackened LED taillight group and the light strip that can light up the public logo echo back and forth with the front face. The bottom of the rear of the car has added a black rear surround design, and chrome trim is added to it to embellish it, further enhancing the fashion atmosphere of the new car.
In addition to the eye-catching exterior design, the interior is also dedicated to the creation. Like the eighth generation of golf, Lingdu L adopts a digital design, the design of the twin intelligent suspension central control large screen is very highly technological, and the gradually reduced button system makes the interior more simple. The same electronic gear shift mechanism as the golf has also been used, and the atmosphere of the overall interior has become more sporty and technological.
With the help of a more efficient digital intelligent architecture, the performance of Lingdu L's intelligent technology level is naturally not bad. In addition to being equipped with sensing devices such as cameras and various radars, Lingdu L is equipped with IQ. Drive L2 level driver assistance system, as well as intelligent technologies such as PLA's all-round intelligent automatic parking system.
In terms of configuration, Lingdu L provides a three-spoke racing multi-function steering wheel, based on a new flat bottom shape, with high-gloss black touch buttons, and the sports atmosphere is straight and full. Shell-type contrast sports wrapped seats, sporty side wrapping, providing a strong wrapping feeling, immersive driving experience. In terms of entertainment configuration, it is also equipped with Beats+8 audio with a total power of up to 300W, using 8 speakers and 10 channel sound field settings, bringing the ultimate listening feast.
In terms of power, the new car will launch a 1.4T version (280TSI) for consumers to choose from, with a maximum power of 150 horsepower and a maximum torque of 250 Nm, and the drivetrain will continue to be equipped with the 7-speed dry dual-clutch transmission that we are more familiar with, and adopt the front McPherson + rear multi-link suspension combination. Such a combination of power believes that the driving performance of Lingdu L is definitely expected.
Write at the end:
When we felt that Lingdu would fade out of people's sight, it returned to the market again with a new "species" Lingdu L. The comprehensive renewal from the outside to the inside also makes people see the full sincerity of SAIC Volkswagen, not only adding a lot of "electrification" elements to the exterior design, but also compared with the same level of models in the expression of the interior technology, especially the dual intelligent suspension central control large screen, sports seats, electronic gears and other configurations. It can be said that Lingdu L has made the most radical transformation towards digitalization and rejuvenation, and with the dynamic performance of sports models, we have reason to believe that the new car will achieve good results in the coupe segment.
