In the early years, SAIC Volkswagen Lingdu came out with the concept of wide-body coupe, which won the favor of young consumers, but the unchanged appearance for many years made Lingdu's sales worse and worse, and it was imperative to change the model, and finally, in early 2022, SAIC Volkswagen launched Lingdu L, which was called "small CC" by consumers as soon as it was unveiled. It is reported that the new car will open pre-sale at the end of February and officially launch at the end of March.
In terms of appearance, Volkswagen Lingdu L adopts a new design language, the visual effect of the front of the car is very low and flat, and the introduction of the Design Elements of the Volkswagen ID series, such as the LOGO that will emit light and the through-type LED light strip, full of sense of technology, high recognition, large size intake grille is also very public, like an evil smiley face, the grille inside the use of starlight dot elements embellishment, fashion sense is also in place.
The side lines of the new Lingdu L are smooth and slender, the visual effect is also very low, the overall silhouette is very similar to the Volkswagen CC, especially the back shape looks very dynamic, in addition, the new car also adopts a frameless door design, which is a big killer in the same level of models, and the process of getting on and off the car is indeed more windy. In terms of body size, the new Lingdu L has a length, width and height of 4784/1831/1469mm and a wheelbase of 2731mm.
The rear design is individualistic, stylish, and the line layering is excellent, and the hatchback rear tailgate is also a highlight of the car, which is obviously more practical than the traditional sedan. Lingdu L adopts a through-type taillight design, and the overall style can also see the shadow of the Volkswagen ID series, and the effect after lighting up is very cool. The rear surround is under the black skid plate, and is embellished by chrome decorative strips, unfortunately, the new car adopts a hidden exhaust design, and the overall sports atmosphere is a little less interesting.
In terms of interior, the new Lingdu L also adopts a new design, the dual screen design changes the conservative and moderate design style of the public, the overall sense of science and technology has been significantly improved, and the car is equipped with MOS 4.0 mobile online service system, integrating the Internet of Vehicles, mobile phone mapping and other functions. As the main young, sporty model, Lingdu L will also be equipped with multi-color atmosphere lights, and the top model will also be equipped with the Beats speaker that young people like.
In terms of power, the new Lingdu L will be equipped with the 1.4T engine that we are very familiar with, with a maximum power of 150 horsepower and a maximum torque of 250 Nm, and the transmission system is matched with a 7-speed dry dual-clutch transmission, and the latest 1.5T engine is bound to be replaced later.
The launch of Volkswagen Lingdu L, I feel that it will have a relatively large impact on the Honda Civic, after all, volkswagen's brand influence is obvious to all, and the new Lingdu L may be more in line with the aesthetics of the current young people in terms of appearance and styling, and in the end it may only be a matter of price, so what do you think the pricing of the new Lingdu L will be?
