North Volkswagen's CC has always undertaken the family's "face value" responsibility, and is known as the most beautiful Volkswagen. But even so, as a niche car in China is far less popular than the volume of models, to know that the same level of Magotan, landing can be much cheaper than CC.
However, just recently, South Volkswagen has launched a new Lingdu L, also as a niche model with borderless doors and a sneaky body shape, which is lower in price than CC. So, would you choose this so-called "little CC" because you didn't have enough budget?
Before answering this question, let's take a look at the situation of the previous generation of Lingdu in China, its cumulative sales last year were 55713 vehicles, lower than in 2020, and the monthly sales were 8,000 vehicles a month at its best, which is such a data compared to Volkswagen CC or much better, so how will the new Lingdu L perform?
Based on the above, let's first take a literal look at the model name suffix plus "L" means a change in body size, the body size of the new Lingdu L is 4784× 1831×1469mm, and the wheelbase is 2731mm, which is indeed much larger than the previous generation.
The second is the platform, the new Lingdu L has been upgraded to the MQB EVO platform, the direct advantage is the overall active and passive security performance and intelligent improvement, especially in this era, many independent brands have done well enough, as a century-old brand, the public naturally has to keep up with the pace.
In addition, the latest family design of Volkswagen is adopted in the appearance, but the front face is not so comfortable, and the exaggerated grille and headlight shape are slightly obtrusive.
The side part is much more harmonious, and the borderless door is the highlight. Comparing the side and front of the car, the design of the tail ducktail and the through-type taillights really enhance the texture of the whole car.
However, this is the first time that Volkswagen has designed such a bold design on a fuel vehicle, and the original Lingdu is not a volume model, so the new Lingdu L can also be seen as a bet on it by SAIC Volkswagen.
Secondly, another advantage brought by the MQB EVO platform is the digital cockpit, the overall layout is similar to the new Golf 8, using a combination of dual screens, and also equipped with a new style of steering wheel and touch buttons in the car. It is not particularly amazing, but compared with the public in previous years, it can be said that there is still a qualitative breakthrough.
In terms of configuration, 30-color ambience lights, AR-HUD head-up display, as well as full LCD dashboards, multi-functional entertainment systems, etc., will not be absent on this new Lingdu L. It is worth mentioning that it also adopts the same gear shift structure of audi A3, which gives people a strong sense of freshness.
In terms of power, the new Lingdu L is still equipped with an EA888 1.4T engine matching 7DCT gearbox, the maximum power is 110kW, the peak torque is 250N·m, and the official acceleration time of 0-100km/h is about 8 seconds, which can only be said that the power can meet the basic travel needs.
Write at the end:
The design of volkswagen Lingdu L, especially the front face part, is slightly obtrusive, of course, other aspects other than this factor are still relatively satisfactory, and based on a new platform, so the intelligent and active and passive safety configurations still have a more mainstream performance, but the power of 1.4T is slightly not particularly strong. Finally, let's talk about the price, the price of the new Lingdu L will naturally not exceed 200,000, so it seems that in fact, at this level, I want to choose a bezel-less and more worry-free and durable model, it seems that it is the only one.
