In the car market, Volkswagen has laid out a number of models, such as Sagittarius, Maiten, Langyi, Bora, etc., of which Langyi and Bora can be regarded as stable contributors to Volkswagen's sales. It can be seen that Among the many compact cars, Langyi is one of the few models that can compete with Nissan Xuanyi in the monthly sales part, like in January this year, Langyi sold 45,000 units per month, approaching nissan Xuanyi, which achieved 49,000 monthly sales. The strength of Bora is not bad, often with Langyi, Xuanyi in the top three fuel compact car sales, and in January this year, Bora's monthly sales also have more than 20,000 vehicles.
In order to improve the competitiveness of their own products, Langyi and Bora have also ushered in the mid-term remodeling of models, and the new Langyi real cars can be seen in many 4S stores. Of course, the update speed of the new Bora is not slow, on March 8 this year, the new Bora has officially rolled off the line, which means that the near future can see the real car. Since it is a medium-term change, in general, the price change is not large, plus the new Bora is expected to be listed in 2022, then, for friends with a budget of about 100,000 yuan, they can wait.
From the perspective of appearance, the front of the new Bora has not changed much, the middle grid is still flat design, and integrated with the headlights on both sides, the double light strip inside the headlights is connected with the silver decorative strips on the surface of the middle mesh, creating a clear through design. The through-type grille on the surface of the front bumper is divided into two by the body, and the outer edge of the heat dissipation decorative panel at both ends of the upper floor is also inlaid with irregular silver decorative strips, and the overall design widens the visual width of the front of the car, which is also quite sharp.
The changes on the side of the body are not large, you can still see the two-color rearview mirrors, the body surface layer adopts a multi-line design, and the low waist line under the door creates a three-dimensional feeling. The multi-spoke wheels at the front and rear are not special, and the personalization seems to be less obvious than the front of the car. The rear of the car comes with a small ducktail, irregular style taillights, embedded in both sides of the tailgate, to be honest, this part of the design is not very distinctive. Fortunately, the surface of the rear bumper is inlaid with penetrating black decorative panels, and the outer edge is also inlaid with silver decorative strips, which to a certain extent, widens the visual width of the rear of the car and also adds a lot of sports atmosphere.
From the perspective of size, the new Bora has 4672/1815/1478mm three-dimensional circumference, as well as 2688mm wheelbase, compared with 4663/1815/1462 (1473) mm three-dimensionality, 2688mm wheelbase of the 2021 Bora, it can be found that the new Bora will be the car length, the height of the car has been slightly adjusted, because the general has not changed, so the use of the new Bora space, will not change much.
The interior of the new car has not been officially announced, however, from the information exposed in the past, Bora may be equipped with a three-frame flat-bottom steering wheel, and the screen size on the right side will also be increased, and the suspension is on the center console, adding a lot of technology. The air conditioning control panel below may still be dominated by physical buttons, and there are many physical buttons on both sides of the gearbox control station, although it lacks a high-end sense, but it is also in line with the public's usual methods.
From a dynamic point of view, in the sale of Bora respectively provided 12. T, 1.4T, 1.5L three engines, of which, the maximum power of the 1.5L engine is 113 horsepower, and the 1.2T engine brings the maximum power of 116 horsepower, the performance gap between the two is not large, combined with the current turbocharged engine is more, therefore, I think the new Bora may cancel the 1.5L engine, directly equipped with 1.2T and 1.4T engines, the gearbox may also continue to carry 7-speed twins.
To sum up, from the perspective of Volkswagen's plan at the beginning of the year, in addition to the mid-term redesign of Bora and Langyi, hot-selling models such as Tanyue, Maiteng and Sagitar will also usher in their own remodels this year, which can also be regarded as a major innovation of Volkswagen. I remember the last time Volkswagen launched a number of new cars in a short period of time, or in 2018, it launched more than 10 SUV models in the SUV market, instantly improving its voice in the SUV market. So, Volkswagen chose to launch so many modified models this year, is it not satisfied with last year's performance, and wants to win back a round this year?
