When it comes to the public, for domestic consumers, it is a household name. With its convincing German quality and long-term market reputation, it is still a brand that the majority of people cannot avoid when choosing family cars. So we can find that Volkswagen has always been a best-seller in the family car market, such as Santana, Langyi, Bora, Sagittarius and so on. So, does Volkswagen have a model that can't be sold? The answer is yes, such as the Langyi pure electricity that we are going to talk about today.
Langyi pure electricity is a product launched by SAIC Volkswagen for the development of the new energy market, because the early technology and strength are not perfect, so it is only an oil-to-electricity model. Due to its poor sales, Langyi Pure Electric is no longer sold. Today we will take the 2019 Premium Edition model as an example (priced at 148,900) to review how the car's product performance is.
First of all, the appearance of the face value part, intuitive visual effects, we can see that Langyi pure electricity is still using a family design, the public's brand recognition can be said to be very high. Of course, in terms of details, compared with the fuel version of the model, Langyi pure electricity also has certain changes. For example, the front grille part is decorated with white spokes, and the hollow air intake below is also decorated with chrome material, bringing a delicate and technological feeling.
In the body part, Langyi pure electricity also adopts slender and simple lines, the front fender part has decorations, and a straight waist line runs from the front of the car to the rear, creating a visual layering. In terms of configuration, the aluminum alloy wheels of 205/55 R16 specifications are adopted below the pure electricity of Langyi, which matches the front ventilation disc type and rear disc brakes.
In terms of the tail, Langyi pure electricity is designed to be quite three-dimensional and full, and the taillights on both sides are more conventional, and they can also have a certain degree of recognition after lighting up at night. The logo of e-LAVIDA in the lower right corner highlights the positioning of its pure electric model. The rear enveloping part is decorated with chrome trim strips, adding a certain texture.
In terms of interior, Langyi Pure Electric adopts the familiar family language, and the center console adopts a T-shaped layout, equipped with baked lacquer trim panels and chrome trim strip decoration, which brings a certain sense of refinement. Among them, the air conditioning physical button we have reservations, convenient for the driver blind exercise, the middle is equipped with an 8-inch central control screen, can support CarPlay, CarLife, voice recognition control and other functions, the interactive experience is relatively intelligent and convenient.
In terms of other configurations, Langyi pure electricity also has a relatively comprehensive performance, such as the driver's seat part is with a three-frame multi-function steering wheel, the seats are made of imitation leather material, and the front seats also have a heating function. In terms of auxiliary functions, Langyi Pure Electric also has functions such as active braking, rear reversing radar, and automatic parking. And like the electric sunroof, automatic air conditioning, rear seat air outlet these configurations, Langyi pure electricity is also equipped. It's just that Langyi pure electricity does not have a key to start, and there is no L2-level intelligent auxiliary driving system, which is still a bit unsightly in today's 150,000-level price market.
In terms of size space, the length, width and height of Langyi pure electricity are: 4670/1806/1474mm, the wheelbase is 2680mm, taking the passengers with a height of 178cm as an example, sitting in the front row head space can have four fingers left, keeping the seat unchanged to go to the rear row, the head space is a punch, the leg space is about two fists, and the driving space performance is quite spacious and abundant. However, the platform part is still raised, and the ride will be slightly uncomfortable.
In terms of trunk, the opening of Langyi pure electricity is also relatively large, and the conventional volume is 510L to meet the needs of ordinary households, which is basically no problem. In addition, the rear seats of Langyi Pure Electric can also be reclined proportionally, which has a certain degree of expansion, which is enough to cope with the use of some unexpected scenes.
Finally, there is the power performance part, which is equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous motor drive, which can have a maximum power of 100 kW (136Ps) and a maximum torque of 290 N·m. In terms of battery pack, it uses a ternary lithium battery, NEDC endurance is 278km, and the performance performance is decent, but the endurance is indeed a bit insufficient to be honest. In terms of chassis, Langyi Pure Electric adopts the front McPherson-rear multi-link independent suspension, matching the drive mode of the front front drive.
Summary: Through product force analysis, we can find that Langyi pure electricity is actually an oil-to-electricity model, and the configuration and space are basically not much different from the previous fuel version of Langyi. But in terms of battery life, the ability of Longyi pure electricity is indeed very poor, 278km of endurance may now be better than some pure electric scooters, coupled with its high price of 148,900, it is obviously a very low cost-effective choice, and it is no wonder that now Langyi pure electricity has not been sold.
