In the compact sports car market, Civic has always been the "imaginary enemy" of many models, and now in order to break the "monopoly" position of Civic in this level of market segmentation, SAIC Volkswagen's new Lingdu L is finally officially listed.
As a brand new model, Lingdu L is priced at 149,900-18.99 million yuan, and the new car is not only equipped with frameless doors and hatchback tailgates, but also has a new design in terms of exterior interior. Coupled with the halo blessing of the Volkswagen brand, it is definitely a boutique model in the compact sedan market, so let's take a look at what highlights it has.
Since it is a brand new model, it must adopt a new platform. No, the Lingdu L is a model based on Volkswagen's MQB Evo platform. In terms of appearance, the new car looks very fashionable, the front face is composed of sharp headlights and through-led led light strips, with a large-size dot matrix grille below, the overall is also a sexy.
On the side is a smooth coupe-style body, with frameless doors and hatchback tailgates, properly sporty "runners". In terms of size, the new Lingdu L has a length, width and height of 4784/1831/1469mm and a wheelbase of 2731mm. Compared with the new Civic 4674/1802/1415mm of length, width and height and 2735mm of wheelbase performance, the overall size of the three dimensions is more dominant.
In the rear part of the car, the new Lingdu L is equipped with a penetrating LED taillight, which can not only connect the logo in the middle to light up, but also have a cocked ducktail on the trunk cover, which also adds a strong sense of movement to the rear.
Entering the car, the new Lingdu L adopts an integrated dual screen design, with the through-line air conditioning outlet and silver trim in front of the co-pilot, which is both simple and high-level overall. The size of the central control screen is not small, and the built-in car machine functions are also very rich, which is a major progress of Volkswagen in the field of digitalization and intelligence.
Looking further down is the same electronic gear design as the Volkswagen Golf, which is not only very delicate and compact, but also saves space in the storage area and improves the overall aesthetics.
As for power, the new Lingdu L continues to be equipped with the familiar 1.4T engine (280TSI), the new car has a maximum power of 150 horsepower, a maximum torque of 250 Nm, and a drivetrain that matches the 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
Competitive analysis: Compared with Honda's new Civic, the new Lingdu L gives people a better texture in terms of appearance and interior, which is also the confidence that Lingdu L has as a German car. Secondly, Lingdu L is also equipped with two personalized configurations of frameless doors and hatchback tailgates, which not only makes the car more unique, but also has a much larger storage space in the trunk, so the practicality is also very good.
Finally, the 1.4T engine of Lingdu L has been tested by the market for a long enough time, whether it is power performance or fuel economy, there is no problem. Therefore, even if the contrast Civic is not dominant in power parameters, the new Lingdu L is not vain in terms of reliability and driving experience.
Written in the end: In general, it is worth it in my opinion to buy a high-quality compact sports car of the Ashkenazi brand for around 150,000 yuan. On the one hand, the original popularity of Volkswagen Lingdu is very good, which makes it accumulate a lot of popularity. On the other hand, from the performance of the new model in all aspects, Lingdu L is definitely worthy of the price that is now on the market. So overall, we think that if young people want to buy high-value models, then look for the new Lingdu L. (Text/Univision Auto Dazhuo)
