As a brother model of SAIC Volkswagen Tiguan L, FAW-Volkswagen Tanyue has become the sales champion of domestic medium-sized SUVs for many consecutive months at the beginning of its listing, with monthly sales of 24,800 units at the peak of 2019 and 186,000 units in 2020. However, in 2021, Tanyue's performance seems to be a bit weak, with cumulative sales of only more than 80,000 units throughout the year, compared with 2020. In order to save "face", in 2022, Volkswagen Tanyue also had to exchange price for volume.
According to the quotation of the owner's home, at present, Tanyue generally has a terminal discount of about 40,000 yuan in many places, and even some regions have a preferential range of 70,000 yuan, such as the 2022 280TSI two-wheel drive luxury intelligent version of the model The reference minimum price is only 134,700 yuan (different regions have different price reductions, please consult the local dealer for details). This price is not much more expensive than domestic compact SUVs such as Haval H6 and Changan CS75 PLUS, and it is precisely because of this that Tanyue's sales rose to 9898 units in February this year. So, next we will see, at the price of a high-end domestic SUV to buy a joint venture mid-size SUV, is the Volkswagen Tanyue worth buying?
Since it is a volkswagen SUV, Tanyue naturally maintains a very popular atmospheric and stable image, but compared to Tiguan L, Tanyue is more exquisite and fashionable. The mesh grille and headlights in the front face form a through pattern to make the front of the car very wide, and the internal honeycomb chain chrome elements enhance the details. The lower bracket three-stage air intake creates a sporty atmosphere, and the two sides are equipped with luminous light strips, which is very technical atmosphere. The side shape of the body gives an urban SUV atmosphere, but the wheel arches that rise up at the front and rear and the undulating high waist line create a tough and strong sense of power. The blackened taillights and the two exhaust tail throats on both sides also bring more momentum to the body.
The interior is still designed in the style of the Volkswagen family, although "old-fashioned", but it is better than practical. The driver-centric wrap-around cockpit enhances the modern feel of the car through the three-dimensional folding design, and the black paint and chrome decoration at the details make it look classy. The 10.3-inch full LCD instrument + 9.2-inch central control screen, with touch-type air conditioning buttons, brings a good technology atmosphere to the car, and supports CarLife and CarPlay mobile phone interconnection, voice recognition control and Car Networking and other mainstream functions.
In terms of other configurations, such as 8 airbags, active braking system, fatigue driving tips, cruise control, keyless entry/start, panoramic sunroof, electric trunk, leather multi-function steering wheel, leather/flip-up mixed seat, main/passenger seat electric adjustment, automatic three-zone air conditioning, interior mood lights, automatic headlights, rearview mirror electric adjustment/lock car automatic folding, rain sensor wipers and other intelligent and comfortable configurations are standard in the whole series, which can be described as quite thick. Of course, including full-speed adaptive cruise, parallel assist, and 360-degree panoramic images, more intelligent safety assisted driving systems are not absent in high-end models.
As for the space that consumers care about, its length, width and height are 4589/1860/1660mm, respectively. There is a saying that although Tanyue positions medium-sized SUVs, the body size is even inferior to compact SUVs such as Haval H6 and Changan CS75 PLUS. In fact, Tanyue adopts a long-axis short suspension design, the wheelbase of 2731mm makes the rear space spacious enough, and the rear seats support 180mm adjustable front and rear, as well as a key to regurgitate the rear seats, cloak rack hiding and other functions. It also provides practical configurations such as central armrests with cup holders, independent air conditioning and power interface, and with wide and full seats and Tanner brand audio, the comfort is self-evident.
Finally, in terms of power, Tanyue continues to carry the well-known 1.4T and 2.0T high and low power versions of the engine, the maximum power is 150 horsepower, 186 horsepower and 220 horsepower respectively, the whole series is matched with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, and the 2.0T high-power model is also equipped with a four-wheel drive system. The chassis uses a front McPherson, rear multi-link four-wheel independent suspension system, which takes into account both handling and comfort. It has to be said that under the balanced product force, the hot sales before Tanyue are not unreasonable, but the serious decline in sales is inseparable from the quality problem of its outbreak particle trap blockage, resulting in high fuel consumption, weak power, and automatic start-stop failure.
I know that There is a design absence in Tanyue, but why do nearly 10,000 consumers pay for it? In fact, the quality problem mainly occurs in the 2.0T low-power 330TSI model, the situation of the 280TSI and 380TSI models is not serious, and the 4S store also gives the "symptom" upgrade plan. Not to mention that the terminal market has given a lot of preferential treatment, as the saying goes, under the low price, there will be brave men, under the strong brand appeal, resist the pressure to complete the counterattack. So, what do you think about the public tanyue, welcome to leave a comment.
