Introduction: "Small Volkswagen CC", "Luxury Wide Body Coupe" and how many brothers remember these two titles? How many brothers recognize the public Lingdu? If you want to talk about the models with a low sense of existence in Volkswagen, I estimate that Volkswagen Lingdu and CC are definitely among the best. Recently, LingDu has changed generations, with the blessing of "L", I don't know if I can turn the tide and turn the tables against the wind! Let there be a glimmer of light in this dark day...
Lingdu is a compact new car launched by Shanghai Volkswagen at the Chengdu Auto Show in August 2014, and it is officially defined as "the first wide-body coupe", because of this title, it has attracted a lot of black to Lingdu. But as the saying goes, "Where you fall, you have to get up!" On January 17, SAIC Volkswagen officially released a new generation of Lingdu L. Pre-sales of new cars are expected to start at the end of February, so it's the first shot of the new year! It was officially launched at the end of March. As a replacement model of Lingdu, the new car is built based on Volkswagen's MQB-EVO modular platform and will usher in a comprehensive update.
Specifically, in terms of appearance, the front face of the new car is very affinity, is a "smiley face" design, can't help but sigh: Hey, now which line is not easy to do, but also to give people a smiley face. The new Lingdu is equipped with a sharp headlamp set, and the interior of the central network is also different from the common design of the Volkswagen brand, with a black honeycomb grid integrated inside and a sharp deflector on both sides. The front face gives people a kind: although I accompany the smiley face, my eyes are still proud, and the big husband can bend and stretch!
The sides of the body are designed with a double waistline, which is very smooth. The new car's engine canopy is a clamshell design, and its side edges can also bear a certain front fender shape, which reminds me of the Volkswagen CC. No loss is "trumpet mass CC", the title does not appear out of thin air, there must be a cause and effect, its retribution is not easy to say... But fortunately, the new car will be equipped with a new rim, visually highlighting a certain sense of sport. In terms of size, the new car has a length, width and height of 4784/1831/1469mm, and a wheelbase of 2731mm. The wheelbase has been lengthened, and the overall difference from the mid-term sagittarius is not much. It is worth mentioning that the new car adopts a bezel-less door design that is rare in the same class, which is very advantageous.
The design of the rear of the car, a new style of through-type taillight set, the rear surround with a black skid panel, lamando logo will appear below the brand LOGO. Good fellow, let me see the shadow of the Volkswagen ID. series model, weakly asked is this to play a mashup wind?
How to say about the design of the interior? Do you think the word "violation" is appropriate? This double screen itself highlights the sense of technology, but somehow gives people a feeling of forced addition to Ling Du. But fortunately, the line of sight in the car will be widened by the air outlet of the through-channel air conditioner, and the steering wheel design similar to the Volkswagen ID. family is also familiar to us. In general, I don't think the interior looks comfortable as the old one, so there is no need to blindly pursue a design that is not suitable for yourself, and simplicity is also an attitude.
The new car is also a bit new in power, and will launch a 1.4T version of the model (280TSFI) for consumers to choose from, with a maximum power of 150 horsepower and a maximum torque of 250 Nm. The drivetrain will be matched with a 7-speed dry dual-clutch transmission. The suspension features a front McPherson rear multi-link suspension combination.
Summary: It may be because Lingdu did not have a good start at the beginning, or perhaps because it was snatched up by the tenth generation of Civic, resulting in no place in the sports family car market, so the Launch of Lingdu L simply rose to the challenge and completely made a makeover. Perhaps such behavior may look like an "outlier" in the history of mass brands, but the so-called unbroken and unbroken, risks and opportunities coexist. So this time let's see what kind of new confrontation Lingdu L will have in the sports car market!
