Recently, we learned from saic-Volkswagen that the new Volkswagen Tuyue will be officially launched on March 21. As a product of volkswagen group's "north-south Volkswagen" strategy, SAIC Volkswagen's Tuyue and FAW-Volkswagen's Tange belong to the MQB-A1 platform and are a pair of brother models. If Tange is a test model of FAW-Volkswagen in order to open up the compact SUV market, then Tuyue is the product of SAIC Volkswagen in order to challenge the Japanese Sanjie - CR-V, Rongfang and Qijun, the emergence of Tuyue is to break the Japanese three-legged situation, and wants to occupy a place in the fiercely competitive compact SUV market. Tanyue also did not live up to the expectations of SAIC Volkswagen, since its listing in 2018, it has sold 10,547 units in November and 10,178 units in December, and the SUV market competition in 2018 has been quite fierce, and Tuyue has achieved good results of selling more than 10,000 units in two consecutive months just after its listing. In last year's cumulative sales of 125129 units, especially in the context of chip shortage, the average monthly sales can exceed 10,000, which shows the excellent strength of its products.
The new model will introduce five configurations, and the entry configuration has been upgraded
The Currently on sale Touryue was listed in September 2020, and the Touring On March 21 this year is an annual facelift, so the exterior interior will not change much, focusing on the upgrade and optimization of the configuration.
Judging from the exposed data, the 2022 SAIC Volkswagen Tuyue will launch 5 models, namely the fashion version, the comfort version, the luxury version, the R-Line and the flagship version of the five configurations. The style version of the entry-level configuration has been upgraded in configuration, adding an eight-inch full LCD meter, AEB active braking system, head airbags and front side airbags. A 17-inch wheel hub is also available as an option. Since the Fashion Edition TL is the entry-level model of the entire series, this means that these configurations will be standard in the entire series, and the Deluxe Edition CL+ also supports the electric adjustment of the main driver's seat, and the R-Line and flagship HL support the 12-way electric adjustment of the main and secondary seats. Configurations such as reversing images, adaptive cruises, and panoramic images will be available on select models.
The exterior interior as a whole does not change much, and only the subtleties are adjusted
In terms of appearance, the front face still adopts the family-style design style, the change is more obvious is the exaggerated air intake decoration under the front face, two thick air intake grilles connect the matrix headlights on both sides, the size of the headlights is not small, the structure in the lamp cavity has a slight adjustment, and the recognition is very high. The front face as a whole looks a little more domineering than the current model, and the other changes are not much. The side and tail are not much different from the current model, the side adopts a through-waist design, the line is tough, and the blackened taillights at the tail are designed with a blocky taillight design and a flat single square exhaust. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the 2022 Tuyue are: 4453/1841/1632mm, and the wheelbase is 2680mm, which is consistent with the current model, and the overall feeling to the editor is a miniature version of Tuang.
It still uses two engines, 1.4T and 2.0T
In terms of power, the 2022 Tuyue will still use two powertrains of the current model, one is the 1.4T engine of the Volkswagen EA211, with a maximum horsepower of 150 horsepower and a maximum torque of 250 Nm, matching a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. The other is volkswagen's EA888's 2.0T engine, which has a maximum horsepower of 186 hp and a maximum torque of 320 Nm, matched with a seven-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. High-end models will be provided with a full-time all-wheel drive system.
Tuyue's listing is to fill the market gap after the delisting of Tiguan
At the beginning of the first generation of Tiguan's listing, it occupied the high ground of the joint venture compact SUV market and quickly occupied the market, and the Tiguan at that time could be described as unlimited scenery. However, with the increasingly fierce competition in the market, Tiguan can only rely on continuous preferential treatment and upgrading of allocation to support. The launch of SAIC Volkswagen Tuyue is to fill the market gap left after the delisting of Tiguan and strengthen the competitiveness of SAIC Volkswagen in the market segment of compact SUVs.
Auto Network Review: The pricing of the new Tuyue is an important influencing factor in its market performance
From the above information, the 2022 Model Ofuyue has been upgraded in terms of configuration, coupled with its inheritance of the word-of-mouth gene of the family god car, so that its market competitiveness has been further enhanced, but the road is ten thousand to ten thousand, and finally it has to return to the price, after all, it is not the era of Tiguan, consumers are particularly sensitive to price, and consumption is more rational. In addition, this level does not lack competitive models with excellent product strength, the downward exploration of the price of joint venture brands, and the entry of independent brands into the high-end market. All are development trends that Tuyue cannot ignore. Therefore, reasonable pricing is an important factor in whether the new Tuyue can gain competitiveness in the market.
