Volkswagen's dominance in the car market is obviously not as solid as in the past, Passat and Maiten are constantly surpassed by Japanese rivals Accord Camry Tianlai, even Langyi is always some distance away from the championship position, repeatedly losing at the feet of Xuanyi. Santana did not even break the 10,000 in January, and Bora has already fallen from 30,000+ to more than 10,000 vehicles per month, and its performance has been cut off. Although sagittarius in the A+ class field has not yet surpassed its opponents at the same level, if it is actually lagging behind compared with itself, its annual sales in 2020 exceeded 310,000 vehicles, while in 2021 there were only more than 230,000 vehicles, but the once brilliant Lingdu was selectively forgotten by many people.
However, after the public that has stood in China for many years is naturally reluctant to yield to people, this year's revamp and new actions are also more frequent. Langyi's mid-term revamp has been declared some time ago, and the style of the double-front face small Passat has made a great breakthrough in design, and it is worth looking forward to whether it can compete with Xuanyi again. In addition, in the A+ level field, the public is also a heavy blow, and the new Sagittarius and the new Lingdu L have been eager to try.
First of all, the new Sagitar, as a medium-term modification of the product Sagitar changes are not small, the front face also has some "small Passat" style, the dot-like grille is more youthful, and the entire front of the car looks more layered, in addition, Sagitar is also equipped with full LED lights with IQ.Light technology, while providing flowing water steering and cornering light filling configuration. The internal structure of the taillights is also more complex and delicate, the through-chrome exhaust holes are more refined, and many details have been improved to make the appearance of the new Sagitar look much more advanced.
The interior follows volkswagen's latest family style, the digital cockpit is more in line with the current young consumers' habits and aesthetic trends, equipped with a 12-inch floating screen, full LCD instrument, touch air conditioning operation area, and replaced with a new steering wheel, the entire space appears more neat, technological, and the current Sagitar's old style is completely two contrasts.
However, the most anticipated thing about the new Sagitar may be the power system, the long-hyped Volkswagen 1.5T EVO engine is finally going to take the lead in applying to sagittarius, the maximum power is 118KW, the power parameters are not much different from the current 1.4T, but as a new engine, it actually uses the new technology that is not on the 1.4T, 350bar direct injection technology, the cooling technology controlled by the electronic control unit, etc., to achieve higher efficiency and lower fuel consumption. So for this point the new Sagitar is still worth looking forward to. In fact, this engine has been the first in 2017 on the European version of the 7th and a half-generation Golf on the mounted, the domestic delay of about 5 years is a bit regrettable, but the reliability and stability of a different angle basically do not have to worry.
Compared with Sagittarius, the new Lingdu L has become more thorough, and the innovative design may also refresh many people's inherent impressions of the public, and the smiling grille with the rear headlights on both sides is very aggressive. In addition, the front and rear of the car use a through-type headlight design, and equipped with a luminous car logo, which has a strong sense of the future.
However, the most surprising place of Lingdu L should still provide frameless doors and hatchback tails, and there is currently no second vehicle in the compact car of the same price that uses frameless door design, which is very high. Thanks to the hatchback tailgate, the trunk opening has also become more spacious and practical.
Lingdu L is undoubtedly a pioneer in science and technology in the field of Volkswagen fuel vehicles, and the integrated suspension screen composed of central control screen and full LCD instrument should be the first time to appear in the fuel vehicle family, and also uses electronic shifts similar to golf, and the steering wheel is consistent with Sagittarius. Lingdu is 4784/1831/1469mm in length, width and height, and has a wheelbase of 2731mm, which is much higher in size than in the past, and it is also very similar to Sagitar.
The new Lingdu L is equipped with a combination of 1.4T engine and 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, with a maximum power of 150kW and a peak torque of 250N·m, this powertrain has no surprises, it is very familiar, whether it will take a 1.5T engine is still unknown.
The overall improvement of the new Sagitar and the new Lingdu L is not small, and it has also changed the usual moderate and stable image of the Volkswagen brand in the past, even if it is two bombshells dropped by volkswagen in the A+ level market, especially the new Lingdu L has a great momentum to return to the glory of the past, whether it can be as desired, we also wait and see.
