Langyi last year has lost to Nissan Xuanyi by more than 100,000 vehicles, and recently because of the "reduction" incident, it has been at the top of the complaint list, because the car and machine system of the original factory of Langyi has been secretly replaced by a three-party Android machine, and the point of consumer irritation is not only because of the reduction of the configuration of The Langyi product itself, but also the false publicity of the manufacturer, this way of hanging sheep's head to sell dog meat is to say that the consumer is treated as a leek who does not understand anything, and no one is happy. And this matter is also very fermented on the Internet, it is difficult to say that it will not affect the sales of Langyi.
However, SAIC Volkswagen quickly released the official map of the new Langyi in recent days, which may also be an opportunity to divert attention. The new Langyi provides two different appearance styles, and the design is very similar to the mid-term revamped Passat, living off a small Passat, and this practice may be more useful for the Chinese, invisibly pulling up the sense of rank of Langyi.
The starry sky version of the LangYi front grille uses a dot matrix chrome fill with a chrome trim through the middle to enhance the sense of layering, and the front bracket design is also quite moving, with a blackened mesh inside. In addition to the nuances of the fog light area, it is actually difficult to distinguish whether it is Lang Yi or Passat just by looking at the front face. However, Langyi uses a more sporty blackening treatment in the rearview mirrors, roof, etc., and the rear of the car also provides a small black tail wing, while equipped with more dynamic wheels, in line with the preferences of young people.
The regular version uses a more conventional popular style, with the front grille filled with chrome strips of classic banners and the sharp front bracket. But on the whole, it will still look much calmer, and the wheel hub also uses a multi-banner design. In addition, the rear encirclement has become more coordinated, and a red strip of red lights throughout has been added to increase recognition.
Although the interior is still the T-shaped center console, but for the first time added a floating central control screen, while simplifying the layout of the physical buttons, the overall scientific and technological atmosphere has been improved a lot, and the upgrade of the material is also visible to the naked eye, the stitching at the leather + details highlights a stronger texture, and the steering wheel is also a new shape. In addition, the starry sky version uses red embellishments in the air conditioner outlets and other places to highlight the difference.
The new Langyi model has a length, width and height of 4678/1806/1474mm and a wheelbase of 2688mm. Except for the 8mm increase in length, there is no difference, and there is no impact on the space, but the gap caused by the design. In the compact car, the space of Langyi can only be regarded as decent.
In terms of core power, LOND will continue to use three engines of 1.5 liters, 1.2T and 1.4T, with a maximum power of 83 kW, 85 kW and 110 kW respectively, matching the 5MT, 6AT, 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
At present, the main change of Langyi is the internal and external design, closer to the current trend, and the style of the starry sky version of the small Passat is also a big highlight of it, and it has to be said that the public has thought through the consumer psychology. At the same time, it is expected that the performance of smart technology configuration will be better than the current model. The last mid-term change of Passat listed SAIC Volkswagen to reduce its price, it is not excluded that Langyi, which is on the cusp of the storm, will also do so to gain a wave of goodwill. However, whether this can save a little reputation, it is difficult to say. Do you think this kind of Lang Yi is acceptable? Will it still have a chance to surpass its old rival Xuan Yi in the future?
