With the fame of the previous generation of Civic, civilian coupes seem to have become a new weather vane in the automotive market.
Indeed, in the environment where consumer groups generally tend to be younger, the strong visual impact of coupe models will often make people shine, especially based on a more people-friendly guidance price, which will naturally become the user's heart.
If it is only from the perspective of appearance, it is no exaggeration to say that the car can be called the "ceiling" of the civilian coupe, after all, it is equipped with frameless doors, front and rear through the LED light group and luminous Logo and other exquisite designs, the whole vehicle is more beautiful than the Civic, it is SAIC Volkswagen's new Lingdu L.
Although the car is not yet officially listed, but there are also many dealers to get the existing car, we may wish to combine the new car information that has been finalized and the real picture to carefully plan the comprehensive strength of the new Lingdu L.
After 7 years of replacement, the public has not rushed to do anything
In fact, the new Lingdu L has been exposed in the network some time ago a lot of patent design drawings, many people say that the design of Lingdu L is somewhat out of touch with the public aesthetics, and even a lot of extreme remarks accuse the volkswagen design team, but now when the real car is exposed in front of the eyes, Lingdu L's excellent appearance design I believe is enough to seal the mouth of this part of the people.
The new Lingdu L is also from Volkswagen's new MQB evo platform, the biggest change is that the design no longer references the form of "matryoshka dolls", and there is basically no trace of design about Volkswagen on Lingdu L.
Specifically, the front face of the new Lingdu L seems to have a Porsche smell in it, mainly because the two glowing "triangular headlights" are similar to the Headlights of Porsche Paramela, and at the same time connected by a penetrating LED daytime running lamp, coupled with the blessing of the luminous Logo, the sense of technology in the front half of the face of Lingdu L is still sufficient.
In the lower part is a complete intake grille, and does not use an independent lower bracket design, which also makes the front face look more concise and neat, while the inside of the grille is filled with dot-shaped "stars", which is very close to the current Passat form, which can further highlight the high-grade and exquisite atmosphere of the front face.
Visible to the naked eye on the side of the vehicle is a typical coupe-style body structure, the silhouette is very linear, while the low-lying front face posture and the slightly upturned tail wing at the rear make it look extremely smooth. It is worth mentioning that the car also adopts a frameless door design, which is rare in civilian coupes due to the high cost factors, and there is a full sense of ceremony between opening and closing doors.
The most eye-catching thing in the rear of the vehicle is still the through-type LED taillights and the luminous logo, and the front face of the light group to achieve the same effect, but the rear light group is slightly more exquisite, its internal light point structure is very complex, not only to meet the visual effects at the same time is also very recognizable, can play a very eye-catching warning role in the rear driving, set a variety of exquisite details design in one, so that the appearance of Lingdu L looks more beautiful than the civic.
Inside the cockpit, the same is true, the popular dual screen design is applied in Lingdu L, and the internal integration of the new interactive CNS 3.0 intelligent car navigation entertainment system, support intelligent navigation, voice interaction and Carplay/Carlife and other functions, at the same time, we speculate according to volkswagen's new generation of MQB evo platform has been born a variety of models, the future of the new Lingdu L equipped with the configuration can also reach the mainstream standards, such as air purification system, mobile phone wireless charging, Configurations such as Bluetooth keys are available.
In terms of space, the length, width and height of the car are 4787/1831/1469mm, and the wheelbase is up to 2731mm, and the A+ class body will naturally bring more affluent seating and storage space. In fact, the creation of A+ class products is also the development direction of many joint venture models today, which is mainly due to the pressure of domestic cars, forcing them to optimize product strength, of which the most used is the lengthened body, after all, this is the most intuitive product force improvement.
The advantages and disadvantages are obvious, although it is more beautiful than the Civic, but this point should be complained about
Space, appearance, interior and configuration, the new Lingdu L can hardly pick out any shortcomings, but there is a little crotch to pull it, that is, the application of the power structure, according to relevant news, Lingdu L will continue to be equipped with 280TSI engine, 1.5T maximum horsepower 150 horses, peak torque of 250 Nm, transmission matching dry 7DCT gearbox.
We can understand the 1.5T evo engine that users expect, but the use of dry 7DCT transmission is somewhat surprising, after all, the congenital problem of dry dual-clutch transmission can still not be solved, perhaps the early use is not bad, but the setback of the later dry transmission will affect the user experience to a certain extent.
As for the price issue, we can speculate based on the competitors, the current starting price of the same brand of sagittarius is 133,500 yuan, according to Volkswagen's consistent pricing style, the new Lingdu L will also remain at about 130,000 starting prices, which not only meets the pricing rules of the dual brand dual car, but also can be balanced with competitors such as Honda Civic.
Summary: In recent years, civilian coupe models have become fragrant in the market, competitiveness has become more and more large, the joint venture field has a Civic, Veyron GS and other models over the air, the domestic field also has shadow leopard, UNI-V, Xingrui and other new stars looking at the tiger, in this field of the Red Sea, the emergence of Volkswagen's new Lingdu L can be said to be "the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers", although the brand has a strong base disk user support, and the vehicle's appearance, configuration, space and other performance is excellent, However, the application of dry double clutch still makes the comprehensive strength of the product more or less reduced, so whether it can stand out in the market of a red sea in the future, or let us wait for the sales data after a period of time to judge it.
