I understand that many things are sometimes not the same as "taking an attitude" and "acting". Attitude is verbal, and action requires actual costs, most of us stay on the attitude of the station wagon, "feelings, likes, the most beautiful shape" praise continues, as for the real money and silver is not easy to say.
In the face of the increasing proportion of new energy sales in recent years, as well as the electric vehicles that play the leading role at major auto shows, the momentum of internal combustion engine cars is like an ongoing "history of the demise of romanticism". It can be said that every station wagon that can be bought in China may be the last generation of songs, because it is not certain when they will give way to electric vehicles.
As we all know, the Passat sedan has announced the suspension of production in the American market and its hometown in Europe, and wei lan with the name of Passat Variant has become the last product of this medium-sized sedan. While Volkswagen already has the Arteon hunting version, it still retains the traditional shape of the Wei Lan, which represents that this traditional style station wagon is still irreplaceable for the European market.
It just so happened that there was a travel version of Santana in my neighborhood, and when the two were put together, I couldn't help but feel sorry for the relationship between the past and this life, and also made me feel a little guilty about the station wagons that had passed by. "If you're not crazy, you're old," I want to say, "If you don't catch it anymore, it's gone."
We have included Weilan in the recommended list before, as the cheapest imported station wagon, it must have a place here in the car, and a medium-sized station wagon off the line of the Emden factory in Germany can 100% support the four words "car has a model".
The most lackluster thing about Weilan is the front face, which is almost indistinguishable from the domestic Magotan, of course, the imported Weilan is relatively simpler in details, and it is relatively not as mature as Magotan. The latest daytime running lamp design is also a highlight of the new Weilan, the standard matrix headlights in the whole series are excellent in brightness and illumination range at night, and can automatically avoid oncoming cars, this group of headlights is really more advanced.
All eyes are focused on the sides of the car and the position at the rear of the car. The reason why the Wei Lan is the most orthodox traditional station wagon is because of its straight roof and nearly vertical tailgate. The corresponding straight window lines and the large opening of the D-pillar provide excellent visibility and lighting inside the cabin. On the spring journey, the warm spring sun outside the car almost spills into the car from these windows.
Eliminating the previous generation of Alltrack kits, the so-called "black edges", is definitely a wise choice. I understand the functionality of this type of CROSS kit, but for SUVs that are already all over the street, this anti-wipe kit makes the station wagon lose its attitude and become inflamed. Being as good as possible with suvs is not a good medicine to please the public, and being different from SUVs is the reason why station wagons are loved.
I admit that it is indeed a pity to cancel the quartz watch on the center console, after all, it is a symbol of class, especially in the tradition of European car brands, the car quartz watch is like a gentleman's suit cufflinks, the sense of ceremony and the rigor of detail is an attitude. The "Passat" decorative panel in its place is a bit too simplistic.
After the release of the new Weilan, many people have a lot of criticism of the power system. The past 280TSI and 380TSI were eliminated, and the entire series was powered by 330TSI, which is most commonly referred to as a low-power 2.0T engine. Is this really a problem? The EA888 Gen3.5 engine, code-named DUN, although classified as "low power", has 190 horsepower and 320 N·m of torque, with a 7-stop dual clutch, and is equipped with hybrid injection technology, which is often referred to as "complete body", without any technical castration.
Weilan power parameters and Audi Q5L 40TFSI is exactly the same, but few people complain about the Audi Q5L low power, BMW 3 Series 325's 184 horsepower is also rarely complained, how to Weilan 190 horsepower is not enough? Moreover, the evil device of the particle trap did not appear on the wei lan, which is a great blessing for gasoline engines. The global version of the DQ381 gearbox is also relatively mildly tuned, which is more suitable for easy driving rhythm, and the gear shifting feeling is infinitely close to the experience of the AT gearbox.
The cabin structure of the station wagon will bring disadvantages in terms of NVH, after all, the entire carriage is like a resonance cavity, whether it is wind noise or road noise, it will appear larger than the car in the cockpit throughout the body. But this is basically the source of all the noise of WeiLan, Wei Lan's engine compartment sound insulation is very good, normal driving in the engine noise is almost imperceptible, unless you step deep on the accelerator pedal, the gearbox from 7 gears instantaneously reduced to 3 gears, the speed of the speed is raised to more than 5000 rpm, will hear the noise of the engine. And for this engine, the sound in the high-speed range cannot be called noise, because the thick, linear sound wave can even bring a small stimulus and will not make you bored in the slightest.
The texture of the chassis has the heavy and flexible feeling characteristic of Volkswagen, and the performance is mild compared to its own small steel cannon. However, compared with domestic long-wheelbase cars, the sense of support of Weilan's suspension is significantly stronger than theirs. THE DCC adaptive chassis adjustment system has changed from the past three-stage adjustment to a more delicate 15-level adjustment, allowing you to experience the joy of driving more carefully.
From the pragmatic point of view, the station wagon can be completely replaced by the urban SUV, the two functions are highly overlapping, the difference is minimal; from the romantic point of view, just this slender roof and full hip shape, enough to hit the aesthetic, it is too incomprehensible to see it as a "means of transportation", only the beauty of the station wagon can not be disappointed.
