On February 22, SAIC Volkswagen's medium and large MPV - New Weiran officially opened pre-sale. As a mid-term redesign, the appearance of the new Weiran basically follows the design of the previous model, and only adjusts for some details, bringing freshness to domestic consumers. In contrast, the interior adjustment is still relatively large, replaced by the latest design of the current Volkswagen family, and the eye-catching suspension central control screen size has been upgraded to 12 inches, and I believe that fluency and clarity will usher in a qualitative improvement. In terms of power, the new Weiran will be equipped with a 2.0T engine, and divided into two versions of high and low power, and the transmission system matches the 7-speed DSG dual-clutch transmission.
As early as last year's Guangzhou Auto Show, SAIC Volkswagen New Weiran completed its debut, based on the MQB platform to create it, in order to keep up with the wave of intelligence and the trend of consumers gradually younger, through this upgrade to achieve a great breakthrough. In terms of appearance, the new Weiran basically continues the design style of the old model, but it has been adjusted for the details and looks more youthful. From the front face, it is still the popular family layout that we are familiar with, and the large number of horizontal chrome trim strips inside the front grille makes the new Weiran look good and delicate and fashionable. On both sides of the front face, the sharp and energetic headlights are very eye-catching, and the interior uses LED light sources, which is expected to bring good lighting effects. Nowadays, young people's choice of vehicle appearance is more and more personalized, too single has been unable to attract all young people, so new Weiran provides two different front face designs for consumers to choose, one with a classic flat design, and the other with a more prominent sense of layering and fashion.
On the side of the body, as an MPV model, the new Weiran did not adopt the traditional boxy design, which greatly reduced the greasy and business sense of the MPV model. The roof streamline starts from the A-pillar and forms a graceful arc to the rear of the car, which looks very elegant and also ensures the head space of the second row of passengers. At the same time, the new Weiran also applies the electric sliding door design used in other MPV models, which can allow the vehicle to get on and off the rear passengers even though it is in the narrow rear. Judging from the picture, the new Weiran also has a small ground clearance, which is very friendly to children and the elderly with inconvenient legs and feet. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new Weiran are 5346/1976/1781mm, respectively. It lays a good foundation for the space inside the car.
In the rear part of the car, SAIC Volkswagen's new Weiran basically did not have much adjustment, or the iconic design style of the Volkswagen family. Straight lines and surfaces intersect to achieve a combination of rigidity and softness. The taillights on both sides are narrow and long, and the blackening treatment is added to the surrounding area, and a chrome trim strip in the middle is used to form an effect similar to that of the penetrating taillights, which effectively widens the visual tension of the tail. Chrome trims and hidden exhaust are also used under the rear to enhance the overall feel and luxury of the rear.
Coming to the car, the changes in the new Weiran are still very obvious, as an MPV model conveys a sense of IKEA atmosphere. Looking at the front row, the most obvious change in the whole vehicle is that the new Weiran has been equipped with a larger floating central control screen, and the independent air-conditioning touch panel below has also been cancelled, making the entire interior atmosphere look simple and more technological. Shifting its gaze to the central channel, a large number of piano paint trim panels are very delicate, and compared with the mechanical gear shift mechanism of the current model, the new Weiran has been equipped with a more compact electronic gear lever, which not only enhances the overall sense of refinement, but also makes up a very abundant storage space for the central channel.
In terms of seat layout, the new Weiran series adopts a 2+2+3 seat layout, and the second row of seats is wrapped in very advanced materials, and provides a number of electric adjustment functions, and also supports seat heating and seat ventilation, which can improve ride comfort for both commercial and domestic use. In addition, the rear seat provides a separate air conditioning control panel that consumers can adjust to the right temperature when they sit in the back row.
In terms of power, the new car will be equipped with a 2.0T engine, which will provide two different types of power. The high-power version has a maximum output of 162 kW and 350 Nm. The low-power version has a maximum output of 137 kW and a peak torque of 320 Nm. In terms of drivetrain, the new Virun will match the entire series with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
Write at the end
Overall, SAIC Volkswagen's changes in the overall interior layout and configuration can be called drastic, and the appearance has also been adjusted in detail, and two different appearances are provided, which are not only more selective, but also bring a good sense of freshness. I have to say that SAIC Volkswagen's "operation" is indeed sincere in place, I believe that many consumers are also moved, then the most critical thing now is the final price, if the price can also be sincerely in place, it will certainly be able to attract many household or commercial consumers. It is worth mentioning that the listing time of the new Weiran is also set for March 13, so let's look forward to it together.
