Which is the most anticipated market segment in 2022? The answer is undoubtedly the MPV market, the long-dormant MPV market has become lively since last year, under the leadership of domestic Toyota Syna, domestic Kia Jawa and other blockbuster models, the attention of the MPV market has increased significantly. In 2022, MPV is still the key market for many car companies, taking the high-end joint venture MPV, there will be a new car launched soon, it is SAIC Volkswagen's Weiran.
Mention of SAIC Volkswagen Weiran, we should not be too strange, as the saic motor Volkswagen brand of the first high-end MPV model, the birth of Weiran can be said to be high hopes by SAIC Volkswagen, and based on SAIC Volkswagen's super brand power in China, Weiran was praised by many people as "GL8 Terminator" when it was not listed. However, because the foundation of GL8 is too deep, the newcomer Weiran did not completely pick it off.
Now, SAIC Volkswagen will also make a realignment of Weiran. So, in the case of GL8 before and after Xena, what is the probability of the success of the new Weiran? We also have to look at the product. It is reported that the new Weiran will be officially listed for sale in March.
In terms of appearance, as an annual revamp of the new car, the design will not change much, the front face of the new Weiran is still the standard public style, what is unforgettable is its front net, the design of the multi-banner chrome strip effectively enhances the sense of business and grade of the whole vehicle, with the chrome decoration surrounded by the front, it looks very stable, which is also the main theme of Weiran product positioning.
On the side, Weiran also maintains the general design of the current model, and the overall appearance is very rounded, which is different from the ordinary flat and stable "square box" MPV. Because of this, Wei ran looks taller than the average MPV model from the side. In fact, its chassis is indeed slightly higher than other models, which is understandable, and the slightly higher chassis has no impact on the overall comfort, but it is a major weakness that improves the MPV's easy bottom.
The tail is my personal favorite place. Weiran's tail design as a whole is still a rounded and stable style, and the LED taillights on the left and right sides are linked by a chrome strip, with the exhaust chrome decoration above and below, and the grade is full.
In terms of interior, it is also the focus of this Weiran update. If you pay attention to volkswagen's recent new products, friends will find that the Volkswagen family has begun to use the floating central control screen. The new Weiran is no exception, in the interior of the new style of large screen, and in the co-driver in the console position added Weiran English logo, the sense of grade once again improved.
In terms of space, Weiran still adopts a 7-seat layout of 2+2+3, and the second row of high-end models has a fairly rich configuration, such as massage, heating, ventilation, leg rests and other functions, all of which are not to be mentioned, and the comfort is not lost to the first class. Power side. Weiran is equipped with a 2.0T engine, which is divided into two versions of high and low power, matching a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
Conclusion: There is no doubt that in the mid-to-high-end MPV market, the status of GL8 is obviously not easy to shake. This point, as the "god car" Ofsa has come to a conclusion. However, with the increasing abundance of high-end MPV categories, consumers have more and more choices, and it is not impossible to divide the market. So, if you had to choose, would you consider this Volkswagen Weiran?
