As a German car Volkswagen, its popularity in the domestic automobile market is not bad, and it has also cultivated many "Volkswagen fans". However, in the past two years, Volkswagen, quality control seems to be negligent, its new and old models, there have been various quality problems, so that the overall sales have also declined, especially last year, the annual cumulative sales champion, almost gave up to Toyota. In order to save its own image, Volkswagen has also exerted its strength to list 4 new cars this year, and Langyi, Bora, and Sagittarius are all in it.
The first paragraph: Volkswagen Langyi
Langyi is a veteran of Volkswagen's layout in the compact car market, and is also one of the main models of Volkswagen's sales, such as in January this year, the car achieved monthly sales of 45,000 units, and Xuanyi, which won the championship position, only 0.4 million units of sales difference, becoming the second place in the car sales market.
As one of the main models of Volkswagen, Langyi naturally will not miss the power period of Volkswagen, so Langyi will also usher in its own mid-term remodeled version this year, although it has not been listed for the time being, but it can already see the real car offline.
Although it is a mid-term redesign, but the change is not small, such as the appearance, the new Langyi subdivided into the starry sky version and the basic version, the former's grille uses starry sky design, further close to the aesthetics of young people, the latter's grille uses a banner design, from a distance like a small Passat, compared to the sale of Langyi, the changes are not small.
The change of the interior is also quite large, the three-panel multi-functional steering wheel, as if to be bolded, the periphery is also wrapped in leather, the center console of the straight design is also wrapped in leather, and the red stitching can be seen at the joint, combined with the red decoration at the air conditioner outlet, which improves the sense of technology in the car. The LCD central control screen originally embedded in the center console is suspended on the surface of the center console, and the screen size seems to have increased.
As for the power side, the new Langyi may directly cancel the 1.5L engine, equipped with a 1.4T engine, and match the 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, bringing a maximum power of 150 horsepower.
The second paragraph: Volkswagen Lingdu L
Lingdu and Langyi belong to the same SAIC Volkswagen camp, and the former is also a veteran of SAIC Volkswagen, positioning itself in the compact car market. From the performance of the car after entering the market, Lingdu was also a regular customer in the ranks of monthly sales of more than 10,000 vehicles earlier, but today's monthly sales are only 4 figures, compared with Volkswagen Langyi, it is a drag on Volkswagen's hind legs.
In order to change the current downturn in Lingdu, Volkswagen is also preparing to list a new generation of Lingdu L this year, and the new car has opened pre-sale in early March this year, and the price is suspected to be 162,500-20.66 million yuan.
Because it is a new generation of models, the overall change of Lingdu L is even greater than that of Langyi. The appearance of Lingdu L is integrated into the style of the ID era, the sagging curve of the cover is very large, the sharp headlights are embedded at both ends, the middle of the car logo can be lit, combined with the extension of the slender light strip, can bring a good lighting effect. A large grille is designed at the front bumper, and the dense dot matrix mid-mesh inside also brings a strong visual impact.
Lingdu L is from the MQB Evo platform, so the sense of technology in the interior part is not weak, like in the front of the steering wheel, you can see the slightly angled double screen, from the layout point of view, Lingdu L seems to be biased towards the driver's feelings, because, in the center console opposite the co-pilot, you can only see the air outlet of the through-through air conditioner.
As for the power, Lingdu L is equipped with a 1.4T engine, matching a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, bringing a maximum power of 150 horsepower, compared to the sale of Lingdu, may cancel the entry power of 131 horsepower, to know that in the sale of Lingdu to provide 150 horsepower maximum power model, the starting price is more than 170,000 yuan, if so, the starting price of the new car of more than 160,000 is not incomprehensible.
The third paragraph: Volkswagen Bora
Bora is a veteran of FAW-Volkswagen's layout in the compact car market, and it can also be regarded as Langyi's sister car. And The monthly sales of Bora can also be stabilized in the ranks of tens of thousands of vehicles, and often rank among the top three together with Langyi. Although Bora did not rank among the top three in the car sales market announced in January this year, Bora also sold more than 20,000 vehicles that month, and its strength should not be underestimated.
The new model that Bora is about to usher in is also a mid-term revamped version of itself, and in early March this year, the first car has officially rolled off the production line and will be listed within this year.
Different from the new Langyi appearance, the big changes in the interior, the new and old Bora changes are not big, like the front face part, still by the headlights and grille to create a penetrating design, the front bumper at the through grille, is divided into two, the upper grille and the two sides of the decorative grille into one. The rear bumper surface at the rear of the car is equipped with a penetrating black trim strip, and the outside is also inlaid with silver trim strips, which widens the visual width of the rear.
The pure black interior looks quite sporty, and the size of the LCD central control screen has also increased, and like Langyi, it chooses to be suspended on the surface of the center console. The gearbox gear handle belongs to the ordinary design, and many physical buttons are inlaid on both sides, although it reduces the sense of technology, but improves the sense of mechanics.
As for the power, Bora may also cancel the 1.5L engine and use the 1.2T engine as the entry power, and the gearbox may still be a 7-speed dual clutch.
Fourth paragraph: Volkswagen Sagittarius
Sagitar's positioning will be slightly higher than Langyi and Bora, and different from the starting price of Langyi and Bora of about 100,000 yuan, and the starting price of Sagittarius in the sale is more than 130,000 yuan. Not only that, Sagitar's voice in the compact car market is not bad, can achieve more than 10,000 monthly sales, like in January this year, Sagitar with 27,000 monthly sales, ranking third in the car sales market.
The new Sagitar that Volkswagen plans to list within this year is actually a mid-term revamped version, and the new car is mainly changed in subtle places, such as the front face part, the large-size grille is divided into two, the upper and lower nets are dotted designed, and integrated with the headlights on both sides, the black grille and decorative board at the front bumper, with black bright board as the main decoration, looking more advanced than the general frosted black decorative board.
The interior still follows a simple design, and the center console seems to be like the Lingdu L, using a corner design, so that the large size of the LCD suspension central control screen, slightly facing the main driver's seat. The air conditioning control panel below is composed of a small LCD screen and a touch panel, although it adds a lot of science and technology, it is not convenient to blindly operate to open, close and adjust the air conditioner. Of course, it is also possible that the screen has a built-in intelligent voice interaction system, which issues instructions through the way of speaking, and then realizes the control of the air conditioner.
As for power, the new model still offers two four-cylinder engines, 1.2T and 1.4T, matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, which brings a maximum power of 116 hp and 150 hp respectively.
Summary: Volkswagen's new Langyi, Lingdu L, Bora, Sagitar these four models, are all laid out by Volkswagen in the compact car market, and are also the main source of sales of Volkswagen, therefore, Volkswagen will choose to launch a mid-term redesign and replacement model for these four models this year, in fact, it is understandable. From the perspective of their changes, Langyi and Lingdu L are the most obvious, and the changes between Bora and Sagitar are not very large, but in any case, there are different degrees of upgrades, so I think that friends who are ready to start a compact car can wait.
