Xena ushered in a strong opponent, Volkswagen Weiran strength is not bad, upgrade the electronic file to put + suspended large screen
Over the years, buick GL8's outstanding performance in the domestic MPV market has eclipsed other MPVs. But all along, there have been car companies in the continuous layout of the MPV market, after all, now more and more family users began to buy car targets at MPV, this segment of the market has appeared more new models, although there is no comparable to the Buick GL8 sales, but for consumers there is another choice.
Weiran is an important product layout of Volkswagen in this market segment, from the listing to now about 2 years, the sales performance after the listing is average, so it is urgent to improve its product strength through upgrading. Recently, the new Volkswagen Weiran officially listed, and the same as the old model launched 5 configuration of the model, the official guidance price of 286,800 yuan, the top model price of nearly 400,000 yuan, compared with the same level of models, there is no advantage in terms of price.
The exterior design of the new Weiran has not changed, and it still has a "public face", which still looks very aura. The large banner front grille is accented with a large number of through-through chrome metal strips to help enhance the sophistication of the front face. The front grille is connected to the headlights, and the lower heat dissipation port is also connected together with the deflector through the through-type metal bar, which are very classic Volkswagen design elements, not to make people shine, but there is nothing wrong with it, after all, for MPV models, it is still necessary to be calm and atmospheric.
The body size is the same as that of the old model, with a body length of more than 5.3m and a wheelbase of more than 3.1m, which is at the middle and upper level compared with the same class. The straight body contour also does not affect the driving space, and chrome metal strips are simply embellished around the windows. The upper waistline is slightly raised above the rear wheel eyebrows, in addition to a straight decorative line under the door. The spoke wheels help to enhance the body's sophistication and optimize wind resistance during driving.
The rear of the car is layered, the tail lights are decorated with blackened decorative strips, and finally connected by slender chrome metal strips, and several through-line lines are added to the lower half of the rear, and the blackened surrounding surface replaces the traditional exhaust port with chrome metal strips. The exterior design of the new model has not changed much, and the focus of the upgrade is mainly on the interior.
The light-coloured interior creates a warm ride-by-home atmosphere, with a large panel of light wood grain wrapped around the centre console accented by bright blackened strips. The details are also modified by the brand's English text, once again enhancing the texture of the interior. Equipped with a new car system, the 9.2-inch embedded central control screen on the old model has been cancelled and replaced with a 12-inch suspended central control screen, which helps to enhance the sense of interior technology.
It's just that there is a circle of black edges around the screen, and the shape is not very thin, so the visual effect is still bulky. A row of air conditioning touch buttons is retained below the screen, the visual effect is good, but it is not convenient for users to blindly control, and the practicality is not very strong. The air conditioner outlet was moved to the bottom of the screen, in addition to the gear shift system has also been optimized and upgraded.
The mechanical and electronic gear handle has been replaced with a very small electronic gear lever, which is visually good and helps to enhance the technical atmosphere and storage space of the interior. However, some car owners said that the practicality is not strong. Behind the electronic gear handle are a few commonly used driving buttons, the right cup holder adds a cover design, and the entire central channel is hollowed out to help store more belongings.
As for its driving space performance, it will not disappoint, the two independent seats in the second row are equipped with rich electric adjustment functions, bringing users a first-class ride experience. The powertrain is still equipped with a 2.0T engine, available in high and low power versions, and the driving experience is biased towards calm and comfortable. Overall, Volkswagen Weiran can still give the owner a good face, but it is still difficult to become a blockbuster model.
