Pay attention to the hot spots in the automotive circle that I shared with you for the first time
With the advent of the three-child policy, many people's car purchase needs have also changed, and we do not care whether the three-child is born or not, but the second-child seems to have been popularized by many families. Under such circumstances, the choice of a multi-functional one-car MPV that focuses on large family travel has also entered the list of more first-time buyers or exchanges and additional purchases. Of course, it is also based on this background that the outside world has also given the voice of "there is a huge space in the MPV market, it is a new track, and the MPV market may usher in the spring".
However, it is a pity that "the ideal is very beautiful, but the reality is very bone". According to objective sales data, in 2019, before the invasion of the environment, the domestic MPV market sales were 1.372 million units, down 18.2% year-on-year; the cumulative sales in 2020 were 1.09 million units, down 20.8% year-on-year; after two years of sharp declines, the market seems to have reached a peak, and in 2021, stimulated by many models such as Xena, Kahua and Kustur, a total of 1.079 million units were sold throughout the year, compared with a 4.4% year-on-year increase in the passenger car market. MPV still showed a slight contraction of 1%.
Indeed, in the past three years, the MPV market has shown a downward trend, and the polarization of the MPV market has become more and more serious, among them, the low-end MPV market such as Hongguang and Fengxing has shown a continuous weak trend, but the proportion of the mid-range model market such as GL8 and Odyssey has shown a steady increase, of which one model has finally occupied a place in the "fairy fight" MPV mid-range model market. And it also listed the MPV retail sales list from January to December 2021, which shows its extraordinary strength, and this model is SAIC Volkswagen Weiran.
It is worth noting that in order to cope with the market environment and competitors continue to innovate at the moment, just on February 22, 2022, the most "loving" day, SAIC Volkswagen based on the MQB platform of the new Weiran also officially opened pre-sale, as a medium-term redesign model, the biggest change in the new Weiran is the upgrade of the interior, it is understood that the new car will be officially listed on March 13. In addition, the official also launched a four-fold lifetime courtesy (including lifetime free basic maintenance, lifelong warranty of important components, lifelong maintenance door-to-door pick-up car, lifetime free roadside assistance), it can be said that although the pre-price is not announced at present, but in the policy of lifetime courtesy, it is still quite powerful, then, as a new Weiran model, what are the specific highlights? Let's take a look at it together.
The appearance continues the main design of the cash model, but it will still make you feel excited
As the saying goes, "people rely on clothes and horses to saddle", and appearance is an evaluation dimension that a car cannot avoid. First of all, in terms of appearance, the new Weiran as a whole still follows the main design of the current model, in terms of overall shape, the atmosphere is stable, there is a strong business atmosphere, specifically, the front face part can still see the various design languages of the Volkswagen family, its huge grille has a number of banner chrome trim loads inside, the overall look is very atmospheric, and the LED headlights on both sides are also integrated with the entire network, highlighting the strong visual impact and sense of the whole.
The side of the body shows a trend of high and low front, the streamlined body line outlines a wonderful light and shadow effect, and the transition between the roof and the tail window is also relatively smooth and harmonious. Of course, the electric side sliding door is the standard of high-end business MPV, Weiran is no exception, the new Weiran huge body uses a double-sided sliding door design, convenient for passengers in the car to get on and off, in this regard also shows the calmness of business travel. In terms of body size, the new Weiran body length exceeds 5.3 meters, wheelbase is 3.18 meters, and the body size is in the leading position in high-end MPVs.
The design of the new Weiran rear is still in line with Volkswagen's consistent design style, although it does not use the popular through-type taillights, but the use of a chrome decorative strip across the left and right taillights, is still an overall streamlined design element, in addition, the flat LOGO and the integration of English letters also further enhance the visual width of the new car.
Interior upgrades are the focus
The design of the interior part of the car has not been adjusted much, and it is still the familiar Volkswagen family layout. However, the biggest change in the interior of the new car is to replace the current popular suspension large-size central control screen, the suspension touch screen with wireless CarPlay, car networking and voice recognition and other functions, in addition, the gear shift mechanism is also changed from mechanical to electronic, so that the utilization rate of the front middle position is more reasonable, not only that, in front of the co-driver, the new car also added Weiran's English letter logo, improving the overall interior of the sense of grade. As for the interior materials, the new car still has a solid and delicate workmanship, a large area of soft wrapping and chrome trim loading, all of which ensure the overall exquisiteness of the interior.
The most important thing about the MPV model is the layout of the space, the new Weiran still adopts a 2-2-3 cockpit layout, and the luxurious 7-seater space can meet the needs of business and family cars. Among them, especially mentioned is the Captain Chair Executive Level two-row concierge seat, which can provide electric adjustment, comfortable headrest, pneumatic massage, concierge armrest, electric leg rest, etc., with comprehensive and powerful functions, and the leg rest adjustment angle has been upgraded and expanded, and the maximum can be adjusted to the horizontal position.
In addition, New Weiran also reflected "good sitting" in the interior design and more technology configuration. Headlights, reading lights, rear air conditioning control panels, etc., have been upgraded to touch switches, humanized operation is not only convenient, but also enhance the use experience. The two and three rows of USB ports in the car are switched to Type C, with the existing mobile phone wireless charging function, integrated storage space, three-zone automatic air conditioning system, etc., which is convenient for each driver and passenger. What's even more surprising is that the new Virun also introduced the second generation of virtual pedals (which can realize the induction opening and closing of the luggage compartment cover), and the HARMAN Kardon advanced sound system with 12 speakers, which further enhances the convenience of the car.
Driver assistance upgrades are smarter
In terms of power, the new Weiran is equipped with a 2.0T engine, which is available in low power (330TSI) and high power (380TSI) versions according to the configuration, with a maximum power of 186 hp (137 kW) and 220 hp (162 kW) and a peak torque of 320 Nm and 350 Nm respectively. In terms of transmission, the engine is matched by a 7-speed DSG dual-clutch transmission. The new car is equipped with a front McPherson independent suspension and a rear multi-link independent suspension.
Buying an MPV in addition to daily commuting, is to take a family out on a self-driving trip, and it is inevitable to face a variety of working conditions, and "easy to drive" has also become a just need for many people to travel. On the one hand, thanks to SAIC Volkswagen's MQB EVO digital intelligent architecture, the new Weiran communication speed has increased by 4 times, which means that the user experience is smoother. Including ACC Adaptive Cruise System, Lane Change Assist, front Assist Front Assist (with automatic braking), the driving assistance function has been comprehensively improved. For example, the applicable speed of ACC is increased by 1.3 times (0-160km/h to 0-210km/h), which ensures smoother driving in a wider speed range; Stop & Go's follow-up and stop time is also increased by 5 times (3 seconds to 15 seconds), which is more worry-free in congested road conditions. At present, the new Weiran has reached L2 level driving assistance, which can realize cruising, automatic follow-up, lane keeping, etc. in the full speed domain, making driving worry-free and more labor-saving.
Write at the end:
Overall, as a modified model, this Weiran remodel is mainly for the interior and details of the corresponding adjustments and changes, although the current official did not announce the pre-sale price of the new car, but for the current increasingly competitive MPV market, if the new Weiran in the official listing can give a reasonable and enough attractive price, I believe that with its own excellent product strength and strong Volkswagen brand endorsement, its future market performance is still very exciting.
