As an important model in the medium and large MPV market of SAIC Volkswagen's layout, Weiran is "of the same origin" as SAIC Volkswagen Tuang. Now we have ushered in the 2022 new Weiran, in the medium and large MPV level, its attention and SAIC-GM Buick GL8 and GAC Toyota Sai Na comparable, March 13 SAIC Volkswagen new Weiran officially listed, the manufacturer announced the official guidance price of 28.68-39.98 million yuan.
A total of 5 models were launched in the whole series, and 1 new model was added compared with the 2020 model. Among them, there are 2 330TSI models and 3 380TSI models. In the face of the new configuration, we will immediately bring you the new Weiran car purchase manual, if you are interested in the new Weiran, I believe that after reading the car purchase manual in this issue, which one to choose you will have a number in mind.
In terms of power, the 2022 new Weiran series is equipped with the EA888 2.0T engine, of which the 330TSI model is equipped with a low-power tuned 2.0T engine, the 380TSI model is equipped with a high-power 2.0T engine, and the entire series is matched with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission.
New Weiran Car Purchase Manual | Basic information
The 2022 Weiran model has made adjustments in the model configuration structure, adding a new 380TSI Zunchi edition, filling the large price span between the 330TSI model and the 380TSI model before the redesign, giving consumers more choices.
As the entry configuration of the new Weiran, the 330TSI Business Edition has a rich basic configuration, with a standard 10.3-inch full LCD instrument, keyless entry/start, front and rear parking radar, tire pressure monitoring and a 10-inch touch screen with CarPlay function. In addition, the 330TSI Business Edition is also very powerful in safety configuration, in addition to the basic safety configuration, the standard lane departure warning, lane keeping, active braking, knee airbags and so on.
It is a little regrettable that as a relatively large medium and large MPV, the entry-level model is not equipped with a reversing image, and parking is slightly difficult for novices. Then there are the sliding doors on both sides that are manually opened, which is a little bit "decent".
330TSI Deluxe Edition, as a sub-low-end model, made a leak check on the configuration of the entry-level model and filled in the gaps, and completed the regrets just now. Although the guidance price is 20,000 yuan, but in exchange for reversing images, adaptive cruise, electric luggage compartment opening, induction luggage compartment opening, leather steering wheel, front mobile phone wireless charging, 10-color atmosphere lights and other rich configurations; the side sliding doors on both sides are upgraded to electric opening and shutting, the main and auxiliary seats are also upgraded to electric adjustment, and the front row also increases the seat heating function. Personally, I think that the difference of 20,000 yuan, the configuration growth of the exchange is worth the money, even if the later installation of 20,000 yuan can not be taken down.
As a new configuration of the 2022 Weiran model, the 380TSI Zunchi Edition has a guidance price difference of 15,000 yuan from the 330TSI Deluxe Edition, and there is no difference in configuration from the 330TSI Deluxe Edition. The biggest difference is the improvement of the power system, and the Zunchi version is based on the deluxe version, which is equipped with a 2.0T high-power engine. Personally, I think it is the most recommended configuration in the whole series, that is, it has a configuration that meets the needs of daily use, and the powertrain is in line with the top configuration. Although the MPV like Weiran basically does not drive fiercely, the "power is like a deposit", which must be used when it is used, and the high-power engine pushes the "big man" of Weiran to be more relaxed when fully loaded.
The difference between the 380TSI Premium Edition and the 380TSI Zunchi Edition is 38,000 yuan, mainly in the improvement of the comfort configuration, adding parallel assist, driver's seat memory, co-pilot boss key, rearview mirror heating, tire pressure alarm upgraded to tire pressure display, in addition, the rim was also upgraded from 19 inches to 20 inches, but the tire width did not change.
Then there is the focus of the upgrade in the second row, adding the second row of seat heating, ventilation, massage functions, while the second row of seat adjustment functions are more abundant, adding leg rests and waist support, and also adding manual window sun blinds on both sides for the second row of passengers. Personally, I feel that unless there is "obsession" with these new configurations, the difference of 38,000 is ok but not necessary.
The 380TSI flagship version, as the top match of the whole series, has increased the price by 40,000 yuan compared to the premium version, and the configuration is naturally the icing on the cake, adding 360 ° panoramic image, Harman Karton audio, driving mode selection, exterior mirror anti-glare and other functions. If you are absolutely configured to control, then the top configuration of these configurations should be able to make you satisfied, but if there is no need for the above new configurations, then the difference of 40,000 yuan is indeed a bit high.
Editor's Comments:
Medium and large MPV was originally the only Buick GL8, but as the segment continues to have new players to join, it has gradually become lively, weiran is one of them, it has gained a wave of attention with the reputation of the mass brand in the domestic market.
Speaking of the product itself, the size of Weiran is larger than the GL8 and Xena of the same level, and the wheelbase is also the longest of the three cars, and the advantage of the size allows it to naturally gain the favor of potential consumers of medium and large MPV. At the same time, the power combination of Volkswagen TSI + DSG has been fighting in the domestic market for many years, and the reliability and post-maintenance costs are obvious to all. It is believed that after this redesign, the re-sorted configuration structure will make Weiran's performance in this market more competitive, and become a new choice for consumers in addition to SAIC-GM Buick GL8 and GAC Toyota Xena.
