Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are interests, there is a struggle, and the same is true for the SUV market that is now in turmoil. The major automakers are obviously unwilling to give up this piece of fat meat to the mouth, and the real money and silver in their pockets are put into the SUV market like flowing water, just to seek a foothold in this "jianghu".
As a "river dragon", if Volkswagen wants to get more capital in this bloody rain, it needs to continuously enrich the SUV model matrix. This is exactly what happened, from 3 models in 2018 to 12 models in 2021. Not only let us see the public's emphasis on the SUV market, but also let us see its amazing performance in hybrid technology. Today, we bring you the Tanyue GTE 2022 1.4T Premium, which is FAW-Volkswagen's first plug-in hybrid and faw-Volkswagen's "façade". Next, let's take a look at its product strength.
As FAW-Volkswagen's first plug-in hybrid model, the Tanyue GTE uses appearance elements, which not only continues the rigorous atmosphere of German cars, but also shows the youth movement of new energy models well, and is a strong Sino-German "mixed-race" model. For example, for the design of the front face, the Tanyue GTE is based on the family's classic semi-closed chain grille. A novel through-the-grille under the bracket is also adopted, so that the youthful atmosphere of the front face is significantly improved. In addition, the integrated "C" LED light source and the silver front lip with rich color ratio are all responses to popular designs.
In the side styling design, tanyue GTE obviously draws on the "cross-border style" of the current fire, and the sneakback roof + through-waist line makes the sUV model's burly feeling and the line of the car have a good sense of integration. The side skirts, windows, and wheel eyebrows decorated with black chrome trim strips are colorful and the otherwise calm sides become colorful. But unfortunately, the blackened wheel eyebrows make the rim more narrow in visual effects, making the otherwise harmonious body somewhat unusual.
Compared to the featured front face, the tail design is slightly flat. Through the curved surface and bilateral exhaust gases to form a penetrating design that echoes the front face, although the idea is wonderful, it still gives people a little drag in the details. The taillights do not adopt the popular through-line design, but choose to integrate the parking lights, brake lights, rear fog lights and other light sources into the design, and the effect after lighting has a strong recognition.
Overall, the exterior design of Tanyue GTE has the arrogance and passion of young people, as well as the rigor and innovation of German cars. Although compared with the new domestic forces that love skin bags, there is a little less personality, but it is also in line with the young group that has just entered the workplace and has the dual roles of "office workers" and "new generation".
In the SUV market of "more wolves with less meat, more monks and less porridge", if you want to make the young group have a feeling of excitement, the interior design must be a big household. Tanyue GTE adopts a classic dual screen design, which has a good improvement for the sense of technology. Touch-screen air conditioning design, play a good role in adding points. Leather-wrapped seats and an all-soft interior create a sophisticated, high-end ambience. The only thing that is criticized is probably the mechanical handbrake, which is a bit outdated in the current popularity of electronic handbrakes. But overall, the interior of the Tanyue GTE is still more in line with the trend, especially the classic dual screen + touch screen air conditioning, which basically makes it in the same level of T1 ranks.
In terms of configuration, Tanyue GTE is still relatively complete in this regard. It is equipped with common tire pressure alarms, active brakes, front and rear parking radar, reversing images, cruise control, parallel assist and other configurations, which basically adapt to various life scenarios. In this redesign, the top model will add lane keeping system and RTA rear traffic warning system. Overall, the active driving function of Tanyue GTE can only be said to be decent, and there is no millimeter wave radar and camera, which is really a bit "OUT" in the current domestic market.
In terms of power, the Tangaku GTE will be equipped with a 1.4-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 150 horsepower and a maximum torque of 250N .m. The maximum power of the electric motor is 116 hp, the maximum torque is 330 N.m, the maximum power of the integrated system is 211 hp, and the maximum torque is 400 N.m. The capacity of the battery pack is 13 kWh, and the pure electric cruising range under NEDC conditions is 56 km. This set of power output is basically enough for daily life, and under the blessing of the motor, the driving feeling is particularly brisk. The only discomfort is that the brakes are soft and the oil effect is slightly loose. The official 100 km/h acceleration time is 8.2 seconds, but in actual cases it will be significantly longer, starting with a more meaty start, but the late explosive force is still good.
From a personal point of view, Tanyue GTE can be regarded as a second-rate master of "both internal and external cultivation" in this jianghu, and there is more than enough than the upper and lower. The appearance of the combination of classic and trendy not only retains the youthful publicity, but also has the calm after entering the society, which is just in line with the new generation of people who have just entered the society. Although the configuration is the most important pulling point, if it were not for the old problem of "winding in" in the SUV market, this configuration could also rank among the top few. In summary, I think this model is still very suitable for purchase.
