As the A-class family car market that is most closely related to the general public, from the beginning of its birth, it has become a fragrant feast in the eyes of major car companies, and any company that can get a share of the pie here is a boutique model that has been tested by the market. With the introduction of the "new four modernizations" policy, cars are given more functions and expectations by society. In order to adapt to the trend of the times and not be kicked out of the booming A-class car market, upgrading and innovating have become the norm in the market.
Even Lei Ling and Lang Yi, who are firmly in the top ten of the sales list, do not dare to slack off, and release a new version on the front and back feet. This can't help but make Uncle Che very curious, as the two major generals of the German and Japanese systems, who is more cost-effective, and who is more capable of the reform trend of the "new four modernizations"?
Veteran duels, who is more tender?
Lei Ling and Lang Yi, who are also ivy, are fully called "classic cars" according to their age at the moment of rapid development of the trend. But "Love Beauty" regardless of age, under the knife of the years, Lei Ling and Lang Yi burst out of a different kind of beauty.
Lei Ling has a distinct Toyota face, and the large size of the black grille, the eagle eye three-dimensional headlights, and the integrated heat dissipation hole all give him a sense of youthful passion. Silver chrome trim trim bumpers and lower front ends perfectly showcase the elegance and mechanical violence of the sedan.
The side body adopts the "flying" double waist line design corresponding to the lower body, although it does not have the three-dimensional feeling of the multi-level lines of the New Era model, but it also has a good simplicity. The blackened windows and mirrors contrast with the white bodywork and the visual effect is richer.
The tail is consistent with the radical front face, and the protruding tail wing, the rich structure of the taillights, and the layered rear of the car allow it to retain the Japanese sense of maturity while also lacking in the vitality of young people.
Langyi will provide two sets of front face designs, the ordinary version and the starry sky version, which not only have the atmospheric mature style loved by office workers, but also have the fashion trend sense loved by young people. Among them, the Starry Sky Edition changed the conventional banner grille, adjusted to the starlight design, with a honeycomb grille front surround, and under the modification of chrome trim, it looks more delicate and sporty.
On the side of the body, the lines are used more boldly and aggressively. On the basis of retaining the straight double waist line, the multi-fold line design is added at the rear of the car, and the visual effect is more distinct. The hubs are adjusted to fancy bladed wheels, which have a more powerful increase in the movement effect.
Compared to the front face and side, the tail design is decent. Matrix headlights, chrome trim trim trim underwing, hidden exhaust and black ducktail in the trunk, although the effect is also brilliant, but it does not have the dazzling taste of the front face.
In summary, the exterior design of Volkswagen Langyi is more innovative. Not only taking into account the different flavors of different groups, but also daring to break through the status quo and change the previous design. This can be said to be a dangerous move, not necessarily to please new users, but also may lose existing users. But now, these crises have been snuffed out by the "double front face" design. Although Leiling's design also corresponds to the current trend, it is still too moderate to break through the existing situation.
Smart showdown, who is more human?
In the context of the "new four modernizations", intelligent networking has become an inevitable topic. If we compare it with the vehicles of the past, we will find that the most obvious change is the vehicle system, which is also the killer weapon of each major model.
After optimization and upgrading, the 2022 Ralink locomotive system has been significantly further consolidated. It still provides an entry-level model with an 8-inch central control screen, and a medium and high-end 9-inch and 12.1-inch central control screen. Only in the interior of the new CarPlay, HiCar function, the whole series of standard equipped with Fengyun Yuexiang Toyota Zhixing interconnection, not only can communicate and interact with the on-board system, but also can achieve remote opening and closing air conditioning, further narrowing the distance between users and the car.
In contrast, the 2022 Volkswagen Langyi series is equipped with an 8-inch central control screen as standard, successfully achieving "equal treatment" at different prices. Compared with the exquisite appearance, the intelligent configuration of Volkswagen Langyi is really a bit rotten to the home, the Internet of Vehicles is not, OTA is not, gesture face control is even more nonsense, and the lack of smart products makes the configuration of Volkswagen Langyi still stay in the last century.
In summary, I recommend Leiling, which has unparalleled advantages in intelligent configuration and is also a strong product strength in the same level of models. In contrast, the degree of intelligence of Langyi is indeed a bit unsatisfactory, and this seems to have become a common problem in German cars.
Uncle Che summed up
In my personal opinion, Uncle Che recommends users to choose Leiling. Although its appearance performance is not as prominent as Volkswagen Langyi, it can also keep up with the trend of the times and can be regarded as a product with a qualified appearance. In addition, compared with the "vase" Langyi of the outer strength and middle dryness, Leiling's intelligence has a strong advantage, even if the intelligence level generally exceeds the standard, it can also be squeezed into the "T1" ranks. Therefore, compared with Langyi, Leiling is a qualified product of the new era.
