The medium and large MPV segment is a market segment that can achieve strong growth under the background of the overall growth of the traditional fuel vehicle market in recent years. Last year, after the listing of Toyota Sai Na, it often increased the price by 50,000 yuan, and it could also sell more than 4,000 units a month, which heated up the market to an unprecedented level, which also showed that the earning power of Chinese dads was still very strong.
Immediately after that, the mid-term redesign of the Volkswagen Weiran 2022 model came. So the purpose of our visit to the store this time is to see if Weiran is stronger after the mid-term change.
First of all, the appearance of the mid-term revamped model has remained largely unchanged.
The front face continues the family design, because the original model of Weiran was only launched in 2020, so the front face design is still very new, and the IQ.light adaptive headlights are also new, so the front face has not changed.
On the side, Weiran has a full sense of volume, slender proportions, and the rigidity of the body lines is rigid and soft, and the sense of business is strong. Compared with Japanese MPV models such as Xena, Weiran has a natural difference in style - the Japanese MPV has a strong sense of family use, and if it is a family that occasionally doubles as a reception, Weiran's temperament will be more appropriate, that is to say, Weiran can fit the use of the scene more abundantly.
The interior section redesigned the instrument panel.
The overall style of the new Weiran car is very similar to the ID. series models. The instrument panel structure has been slightly adjusted on the basis of not much change, mainly because the central control screen has changed from the previous embedded to the current suspension type, the top and sides are wrapped in matte metallic gloss material to enhance the refinement, and the curvature of the corners is rounded, which are the detailed features of the control screen in the ID. series models.
The central handrail area, formerly a traditional structure, is now a suspended design with a new cut-out storage table at the bottom. On the functional arrangement, the gearbox gear lever adopts the short and lean gear handle commonly found in the MQB EVO platform model, which feels good and saves more space in the design, and you will find that it is very convenient to put the mobile phone without the traditional grip bar when the mobile phone is placed in the front storage compartment. The right cup holder has a long lid, and it is also convenient for the co-pilot passenger to put the mobile phone when the water cup is not placed.
These are the first visual changes after entering the car, my feeling is to retain the more suitable for business color and luxury on the basis of weakening some of the straight and regular sense of seriousness, the sense of technology and home sense enhanced a little. It tends to be believed that the change in design thinking stems from the heat of the medium and large MPV home market, and perhaps the public hopes that Weiran can form a more attractive attraction for the household consumer group - this adjustment is very timely and reasonable.
In addition, after the mid-term redesign, the new Weiran architecture has been switched to the MQB EVO digital architecture. One of the main benefits of the new architecture is the increased data transfer capability, which I saw earlier increased by a factor of 4. Therefore, under the new architecture, the car-machine system has also evolved.
In terms of power, new Weiran still provides high and medium power 2.0T two-gear power. Nothing new, but mature, reliable and powerful. In particular, the power matching of the 380TSI is very suitable for such a large car. In terms of intelligent driving configuration, due to the upgrade of MQB EVO digital architecture, the performance of its L2 driver assistance system has also been further improved. Now more and more MPVs into the family, the driver is usually the male host, take the family out to play back, on the highway is often more tired, this time the driving auxiliary system is more useful.
The driver concluded with >>>
After upgrading the interior and switching to the MQB EVO digital architecture, the new Weiran has changed from "8 points of business and 2 points of home" to "6 points of business and 4 points of home", and it is better than the old model in terms of technology, intelligence, affinity, etc. If the new Weiran plays properly, the hot price increase will still have to converge a lot.
