Uncle Che summed up
As a regular annual redesign, the 2022 Volkswagen Weiran vehicle changes are still relatively obvious, the new car is equipped with the latest interior of the Volkswagen brand, enhancing its competitiveness, and the improvement of the detailed design also optimizes the daily use experience. Among the 5 configurations launched by the new car this time, the 2022 330TSI Deluxe Edition, which belongs to the second lowest configuration, has a more comprehensive functional configuration in the case of low price, which can well meet the needs of daily cars and the overall cost performance is higher.

This has a lot to do with its high price, in terms of the head model Buick GL8, the starting price of the car is only 232,900 yuan, and the price gap between the two entry-level models has reached more than 50,000, so Uncle Che believes that if the car wants to further enhance its competitiveness, it is necessary to further reduce the price.
