As we all know, Volkswagen, as the joint venture brand that best understands the car buying habits of the Chinese people, will basically cater to the trend of the mainland automobile consumer market to the greatest extent when formulating the future product orientation. No, in the current wave of compact coupes led by the Honda Civic, the new compact coupe Lingdu L built by SAIC Volkswagen is a strong proof of this. Moreover, because the public's brand appeal is strong enough, it also made Lingdu L pay attention to it by thousands of consumers when it was released last year. And SAIC Volkswagen obviously does not intend to let us wait too long; after all, some netizens have recently photographed the scene of the new Lingdu L arriving at the store. Without further ado, let's take this opportunity to take a look at this new compact coupe.
Only from the front face, we can basically feel the full power of the public in design. After all, whether it is a narrow headlight or a semi-closed wide middle mesh, the Lingdu L is a design that has never appeared on the previous Volkswagen model. Even, the eerie atmosphere exuded by its front face has been jokingly called "venom" by many netizens as the character "venom" in the "face-bumping" film and television drama!
If you think that the surprise on the appearance of Lingdu L only exists in the front face, you are wrong! Because the design expression of its side face and tail is what it should be as a coupe. It is worth saying that design elements such as slipback and hatchback have appeared many times in domestic or joint venture compact coupes before; but the frameless door design is the only one of the same type of products in existence. At this point, the exterior design performance of SAIC Volkswagen Lingdu L, Xiaobian personally feels that it is enough to reach a level higher than the American Honda Civic.
Turning to the interior cockpit, the large-size screen design used in the interior of Lingdu L, with the toggle of the electronic gear, a large number of blackened paint elements and the touch-type air conditioning panel, etc., reveals a technological charm similar to the interior of the Volkswagen pure electric ID series model.
At the spatial level, due to the new Lingdu L compared to Lingdu is replaced by the MQB Evo platform product. As a result, its size will be comprehensively improved. The specific values are 4784mm long, 1831mm wide, 1469mm high and 2731mm wheelbase. In this way, it also directly allows Lingdu L to evolve into an A+ level product; therefore, its internal spatial performance will not be inferior to the honda Civic and other similar products.
As for power, the available news indicates that the new Lingdu L will continue to be powered by a 1.4T turbocharged engine; its maximum power is 150 horsepower, and the maximum torque is 250 Nm. This will be matched by a 7-speed dry dual-clutch transmission.
Finally, I would like to say that the appearance of Lingdu L is undoubtedly an important factor that the outside world will look forward to this new car. Of course, in addition to the appearance, its interior design and space performance will not be inferior to the existing products of the same type. In this way, if Lingdu L wants to truly become a volume product, its price factor will become a decisive link.
