Admittedly, Volkswagen has indeed become more and more radical in its design style recently. In this regard, Volkswagen's new generation of Lingdu L can be described as vividly displayed. On the evening of March 1, SAIC Volkswagen's new generation Lingdu L officially opened pre-sale, and the official only announced the new car to open the reservation, but did not directly announce the price.
The new generation of Lingdu L is based on the MQB Evo platform, compared with the current model, the new car not only has a change from the appearance to the interior, but also the power, the new car is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine. At the same time, the new car also has a Chinese nickname that is very suitable for the image of the whole car - "spicy steamed buns". In terms of body color matching, there are always 5 kinds of body colors, mustard green, ginger flour, ice mellow blue, cardamom powder, and juniper green.
Although the power is unchanged, the digital cockpit Level Up
The first thing to mention is the new generation of Lingdu L's intelligent cockpit, as a model using the MQB Evo platform, using intelligent cockpit domain Ethernet technology, bidding farewell to the previous brick car machine system. The transmission efficiency of its core functional modules has reached 100M/s, and the functionality and ecological richness of the infotainment system have been greatly improved. This change is like replacing Nokia with Android, and from now on you can enjoy a huge number of Android application ecosystems, and you can also constantly upgrade and update the system.
In terms of technology experience, the new Lingdu L is equipped with a 10-inch full LCD digital instrument and a 12-inch touch LCD central control screen composed of dual screen design, built-in Volkswagen MOS3.2 intelligent vehicle connection system, integrated vehicle settings, online real-time navigation, online real-time navigation, telephone calls and other operations. In addition, it can also interact through voice, touch, gesture three ways, through the MOS3.2 intelligent vehicle connection system blessing so that Lingdu L's digital cockpit has a more intuitive interpretation.
In addition, Lingdu L also has a very high-tech W-HUD head-up display system, which can achieve three-screen linkage with the central control screen and LCD instrument, and project simple information such as navigation road conditions and vehicle information onto the front windshield, which also enables drivers to avoid distracting themselves from navigating during daily driving, which greatly improves safety.
For now, the new generation of Lingdu L full range of models is still equipped with a 1.4T engine, the maximum power of 150 horsepower, the peak torque of 250N·m, matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The official acceleration of 100 kilometers is 8.5 seconds, and the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is only 5.92 liters.
A new "smiling face"
As we all know, Volkswagen models have always adopted a family design on the front face, although the shape is mature but lacks a trace of agility. The front face of the new Lingdu L has changed dramatically, using a design language between the ID series of electric vehicles and traditional fuel vehicles. The front of the lid slips down significantly, creating a very low visual center of gravity, and the sharp headlights on both sides are connected by through LED strips, giving a very sharp feeling. The lower grille has a "smiley" design, somewhat similar to the Ferrari Portofino design, and the inside of the grille is a honeycomb structure.
The body of the new Lingdu L adopts a double waist line design, which brings a more stretched visual experience to the vehicle, and the frameless door is a double-layer laminated design that is also more advanced, and the 18-inch Phantom flower blade wheels enhance the fashion sense of the new car. The size of the new car has naturally become larger, with a length, width and height of 4784/1831/1469mm, and a wheelbase of 2731mm, laying a good foundation for the space inside the car.
Compared with the front and side of the car, the rear of the new Lingdu L emphasizes the sense of technology, and even makes Che Yun bacteria think of the ID series models. The taillights on both sides are eye-catching, and the LED strips form a penetrating design, which also echoes the front of the car. The slip-back roof line extends above the trunk, thus creating a "ducktail" that not only enhances the sense of sportiness, but also brings significant downforce to the rear.
Che Yun summary
I believe that there should be many people who are not receptive to the design of the new Lingdu L, and there are also voices that say that it is not like the public! Yes, in today's era of change, the public is also constantly seeking breakthroughs, getting rid of the shadow of the "nesting doll" label, and using a new look to maintain the status of the volkswagen brand in the hearts of the Chinese people, and this "new" is not only limited to the appearance, but from the inside to the outside to the comprehensive transformation of youth and digitalization. At present, the new car has officially opened for booking, so let's see how the price of the new Lingdu L will be after its launch!
