Following the SUV, the MPV market began to "fairy fight", and the new Volkswagen re-entered the game. As SAIC Volkswagen's second MPV product, the new Weiran will be based on Volkswagen's latest MQB EVO platform and will be given a new configuration and interior. SAIC Volkswagen's new Weiran officially listed, the new car launched 5 configurations optional, the price range of 286,800-39.98 million yuan, the new Weiran is an annual redesign, the interior part of the change is obvious.
Nowadays, MPV models have long been rid of the identity of tool cars and officially entered the homes of ordinary people. With the increase of new entrants, the baton of the inner volume was handed over to the MPV market, and the MPV market, which once loved to close the door and build cars, became a "fairy fight". Even the three major players in the MPV market, Buick GL8, Odyssey and Alexon, have been forced to be replaced by the impetus of the inner volume, facing endless challengers with a new attitude.
The new Volkswagen Weiran basically follows the current design, using an inverted trapezoidal banner grille + through-grid under the bracket. But the difference is that the two-wing matrix headlights of the new car are more integrated with the grille. Compared with the current model, not only is the design more advanced, but it can also effectively stretch the horizontal visuality. In addition, the size of the chrome banner has been further widened to show the suffocation of the MPV model.
The side body completely follows the current design, the suspended roof + through the double waist line, the visual center of gravity extends backwards, with a good sense of extension and slenderness. The tires are still multi-frame design, decent.
The rear is still a matrix LED light group and lower bracket with chrome trim trim, without too many highlights.
The exterior design of the new Volkswagen Weiran can only be "more than the top is less than the bottom", no new product is good-looking, but it is more fashionable than the old car.
Compared with the current model, the interior of the new car adopts a new design language. The embedded central control screen was adjusted to a floating design, and the full LCD dashboard became more refined. The center console is adjusted to a wrap-around style, with a minimalist interior and electronic gear lever, creating a nice petty bourgeois style. Not only that, the new car replaces the dark color of the current model with white and brown colors, and the color ratio is more in line with the appetite of young people.
In terms of size, the new Volkswagen Weiran has a length, width and height of 5346/1976/1781mm, and a wheelbase of 3180mm. The length of the car of more than 5 meters, coupled with the wheelbase of 3180mm, is basically in the T1 ranks in the same class, and even the nearest "small fresh meat" Sai Na can only avoid its sharp edge.
In terms of configuration, the new car has received the "BUFF blessing" of the MQB EVO platform. Built-in MOS 3.2 intelligent vehicle connection system, which can realize the positive interaction between home and car. In terms of active configuration, it is equipped with ACC adaptive cruise, L2 level driver assistance function, lane keeping and other functions, allowing users to adapt to the driving mode of MPV models faster. In terms of comfort configuration, the new car is low-end (330TSI business version model) is still not discussed. The remaining four models are equipped with the second-generation virtual pedal, electric folding exterior mirrors, adaptive cruise system, knee airbags, in-car pre-ventilation, etc., and are exclusively configured with the 380TSI flagship version as the HARMAN Karton sound system. The fun has changed drastically compared to the current model.
In terms of power, the new Volkswagen Weiran continues the current configuration and is still equipped with a 2.0T engine. Among them, the 330TSI model is a low-power version, with a maximum power of 137 kW and a peak torque of 320 Nm. The 380TSI model is a high-power version with a maximum power of 162 kW and a peak torque of 350 Nm, matched with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. The power is decent, the surging power is certainly not to talk about, more suitable for urban transportation, focusing on fuel economy and smoothness.
The main task of the new Volkswagen Weiran is to make up for the shortcomings, it does not have too many deficiencies in appearance and power, although it is decent, but it is very in line with the positioning of MPV. The adjusted interior and configuration not only raise the comprehensive strength of the product, but also can pull in the distance with the young group. How competitive do you think it is?
