Lingdu believes that domestic users are strangers, and its popularity is still very good when it is just listed in China. As a model created by SAIC Volkswagen for domestic users, the shape of the Lingdu wide-body coupe and the lower price compared to CC have made it the choice of many young Volkswagen fans. However, in terms of market performance, it does not seem to have reached our heights, so for a long time after that, it also fell silent.
With the rise of the young market in the past two years, many models that focus on young users have gained a good report card, obviously SAIC Volkswagen also saw this opportunity, so a new generation of Lingdu came into being, and the official also added an "L" suffix to it, which is often used in the introduction of domestic longer models from overseas, perhaps can provide a certain physical bonus to the new generation of Lingdu L.
The new generation of Lingdu L was released at the end of 2021, after the release attracted a lot of attention, first of all, this appearance, netizens still have a lot of views on it, of course, this belongs to radish greens, but we can clearly see that it is not a "volkswagen" product that we are familiar with, the appearance design of the whole vehicle is very radical, especially the shape of the front face, I believe many friends have taken the time to adapt. However, the new car also retains a lot of the classic design of the old Lingdu.
The front face of Lingdu L adopts the latest digital front face design of the Volkswagen family, the oversized middle net, and the interior adopts a dot matrix design. The shape of the headlights on both sides is also very sharp, and connected by a chrome decoration, the overall look is closer to the new generation of golf, both are based on the MQB EVO platform to build, but the shape of The Lingdu L will appear more radical and exaggerated, perhaps this is also the adjustment made by SAIC Volkswagen for the domestic environment.
Compared with the front face, the side of the car is much better, perhaps this is why many young users choose it, the low-lying front with the back-lining roof design, creating a very good sense of movement, from the front wheel eyebrow upward extension of the waist line also allows the whole car to have a feeling of forward swooping. Of course, the new Lingdu L is still equipped with its iconic bezel-less doors and hatchback tailgates, which is a relatively rare configuration in this class of models, and it is one of the reasons why everyone likes it.
In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new generation Lingdu L are 4784/1831/1469mm and the wheelbase is 2731mm, which has a certain length compared with the previous generation model and has certain advantages in the same level of models. The design of the tail is also very compact, the overall design is very layered, and the taillight is the design of the latest style of the public, and the through-type shape is very recognizable.
But the new car features a hidden exhaust layout, leaving only two false exhaust ports, which is a little more low-key for a model that focuses on young sports. In addition, the new car offers 6 body colors to choose from, namely cigar gray, pepper red, pepper white, rock tea ash, mint blue and agave blue.
Coming to the car, the new Lingdu L also basically follows the digital design of Volkswagen, and the overall appearance is not much different from the new generation of golf, of course, this is also the tradition of Volkswagen, the purpose is to maintain family unity and increase recognition. The overall design is driver-centric, and the hidden air conditioner outlet is very technological.
Dual screen car machine in the volkswagen is still relatively rare, but the internal is still equipped with the Volkswagen MOS 4.0 mobile online service system, and the previous ID series is closer, and our own brand of these models compared to the use experience will be slightly worse, but for the public requirements are not too high, like the conventional multimedia function is still available, and there is a wireless CarPlay function, basically can meet daily needs.
In the power part, the new car is naturally equipped with the familiar EA2111.4T series engine, the maximum output of the engine is 150 horsepower, the maximum torque is 250 Nm, and it is matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. Don't look at the data in general, this set of power is very good in terms of responsiveness and fuel-saving durability, which is quite enough for home users.
summary
Overall, the new generation of Lingdu L still gives us a good sense of freshness, and a more personalized design coupled with the original classic elements should be able to attract the attention of more young users. For many users who like volkswagen or like CC, but are limited to budget, the new generation of Lingdu L is a good choice. It is understood that the new car will be officially launched in late March, let us look forward to it together.
