The medium and large MPV weiran undertaken by SAIC Volkswagen is the first attempt of Volkswagen in this segment, and it is also a "special supply" product. At the beginning of its birth, it basically undertook the heavy responsibility of restricting the Buick GL8. But unfortunately, with the gradual deepening of Weiran's sales, its average monthly sales performance of about 2,000 units. Compared with the Buick GL8, a regular visitor of the "Wantai Club", let alone pull it off the horse, not even a "threat". Of course, it is precisely because Weiran's sales situation is not optimistic, and now it has joined the domestic Toyota Xena and Kia Jawa and other similar types of competitors; directly led to Weiran's restructuring process had to be advanced.
Thanks to the approaching period of the new Weiran on the 22nd of this month, the pre-sale period is approaching; a few days ago, netizens have photographed its real car figure at the local distribution office. Below, let's also follow the lens of netizens to see what improvements the new Weiran has.
It is worth mentioning that although the new Weiran is the product of the replacement of the new MQB EVO platform, its appearance has not been adjusted too obviously. As can be seen from the picture, the front face of the new car still has a large multi-spoke mid-mesh filled chrome filled; and the through-type front surround also adds chrome trim strips that resemble claws on both sides. So that the front face not only still has a strong sharpness, but also has the exquisite feeling that high-end models should have.
The side part of the body, smooth and with an upward trend of the waistline, can not only stretch its overall visual effect, but also sublimate the dynamic beauty of its side face.
In the design of the tail, the new Weiran will continue to use a fuller structural layout, and use the penetrating chrome between the taillights and the bilateral exhaust pendant of the rear surround to divide the neat layering.
As for the interior part, it is a major highlight of the new Weiran. Because, the new car will use a combination of large-size full-LCD instruments and suspended central control screens and toggle electronic gears; its interior has a strong scientific and technological atmosphere. In addition, the operation table composed of brown-lined rigid material and stretch metal panels and piano black baking paint panels further highlights its high-end positioning.
In terms of space, since the exact dimensional parameters of the new Virun have not yet been released, it is not clear whether its internal space has been adjusted. However, after all, it is the product of the replacement of the platform, and the overall rigid structure has also been improved; it has made its self-weight have been improved to a certain extent.
In terms of power, the new Vierant will continue to offer a low/high power 2.0T engine with a maximum power of 186 hp, 220 hp (162 kW) and a peak torque of 320 Nm and 350 Nm respectively, and still match the 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
Overall, the interior adjustment and platform upgrade of the new Weiran, if you want to say surprises, there should still be. Of course, Wei Ran's strength is not weak, and a major factor in poor sales is probably due to pricing. Therefore, if the new Weiran can give a more reasonable price, it should still have the ability to increase sales, right?
