As a replacement product that has only been waiting for 7 years, Volkswagen's new Lingdu L is undoubtedly the most concerned model for consumers in the recent car market. The new car has begun the pre-sale of two high-end models a few days ago, with a price of 185,900 yuan and 206,600 yuan. Recently, the authoritative media exposed the price of the remaining models, it is reported that the new Lingdu L is expected to launch a total of four models, the price range of the whole series or in the range of 162,500-206,600 yuan, low and low prices or 162,500 yuan, 173,000 yuan.
The starting price of the previous generation of products is 149,900 yuan, and the top match is only 186,900 yuan, in comparison, the price increase of the new Lingdu L is not small, and the low match has risen by 12,600 yuan.
However, from the exposure of the configuration information, the configuration of the new Lingdu L will indeed be much thicker than the previous generation of models, the new low-end version provides a keyless start, 10-inch LCD instrument and 10-inch central control screen, and frameless doors, hatchback tailgates are also standard in the whole series, and also added side air curtains, practicality, sense of technology are greatly upgraded.
The sub-low version of 173,000 yuan adds functions such as large sunroof, adaptive cruise, reversing image, leather seat, leather steering wheel, lane keeping assist, and traffic sign recognition on this basis.
The version of 185,900 yuan is upgraded to a 12-inch central control screen, the 17-inch wheel hub is upgraded to 18 inches, and with mobile phone wireless charging, interior and exterior atmosphere lights, dynamic welcome effects, and electric folding rearview mirrors, etc., the presentation of the sense of premium is more in place.
The configuration of the top version is naturally more abundant, including a more complete safe driver assistance system, HUD head-up display, seat heating and ventilation, brand audio, electric tailgate and so on.
The configuration goes hand in hand with the price, and it seems understandable. However, Lingdu L as a compact car, this pricing has actually reached the scope of medium-sized cars, The starting price of The Accord is 169,800 yuan, peugeot 508L is 159,700 yuan, and the starting price of Volkswagen's own Passat is only 179,900 yuan, plus many regions are about 10,000-20,000 preferential margins, and the starting price may even be lower than the new Lingdu L.
Although the new Lingdu L gets rid of the middle and stable design style of the public in the past in appearance, it completely gives people a refreshing feeling, the interior of the dual screen is more technological and bold, and there are two major killers of frameless doors and hatchback tailgates, but the positioning of the Lingdu L A-class is always there. If you can buy a Passat or Accord for the same price as the Lingdu L, will anyone really be willing to give up a mainstream B-Class car for the sake of design? The question is questionable.
