The last day of March 2022 is destined to be an extraordinary day, this evening, the Chinese car market has ushered in two new cars, one is BMW Brilliance domestic X5, the other is the protagonist we are going to talk about today, that is, "SAIC Volkswagen new Lingdu L" (spicy steamed buns). Based on the MQB Evo platform, SAIC Volkswagen's new Lingdu L, the official guidance price range of 149,900-189,900 yuan, a total of 4 models have been launched, all equipped with the well-known "1.4T (280TSI) + 7-speed dual clutch" power combination. What we want to talk to you about today is actually to help you figure out how to buy this new car.
※ SAIC Volkswagen's new Lingdu L model and price composition
As mentioned earlier, the new Lingdu L of SAIC Volkswagen on the market has a total of 4 models, and all of them use a completely consistent power equipment (1.4T (280TSI) + 7-speed dual clutch), which also reduces the difficulty for potential customers of the new Lingdu L to make purchase decisions. To put it bluntly, there are a total of 4 models, and there is always one that is suitable for you. Let's first review the price composition of the new Lingdu L, as shown in the following figure.
Just as the new Lingdu L is affectionately known as "spicy steamed buns", SAIC Volkswagen also fully drew inspiration from "spicy" when naming the four models of the new Lingdu L, and according to the official guidance price, from low to high, it is "280TSI Hot Spicy Edition", "280TSI Hot Spicy Edition", "280TSI Hot Spicy Edition" and "280TSI Super Spicy Flagship Edition".
Among them, in addition to the price difference of 20,000 yuan between the top model, that is, the "280TSI Super Spicy Ultimate Edition" and the sub-top model "280TSI Hot Spicy Edition", the price difference between the entry model "280TSI Hot And Spicy Edition" and "280TSI Hot And Spicy Edition", as well as the "280TSI Hot And Spicy Edition" and "280TSI Cool Spicy Edition" are all 10,000 yuan.
From this, as long as we figure out the degree of configuration difference between each model, we can easily analyze the most cost-effective car.
※ SAIC Volkswagen's new Lingdu L configuration difference analysis
(1) "280TSI Hot Hot Edition" with a guidance price of 149,900 yuan
After the listing, the new Lingdu L maintains the same starting price as the previous generation model, so the configuration level of the entry-level car can not only reflect the overall configuration level of the entire Lingdu L series, but also an important embodiment of whether the new Lingdu L has significant progress over the previous generation model.
What's more, if the entry-level car of the new Lingdu L has a relatively good degree of configuration richness, then even if consumers are sure that they want to buy an entry-level car, they can still get a relatively good car experience. Since this is the case, let's first take a look at what functions and configurations of SAIC Volkswagen's new Lingdu L belong to the standard category of the whole series.
As listed in the table above, even the entry model of the new Lingdu L, the "280TSI Hot Edition", already has a relatively rich basic configuration, especially the touch reading light, external rearview mirror electric adjustment, external rearview mirror electric folding, exterior mirror heating, reversing automatic rolldown, automatic folding of the lock car, rain-sensitive wiper, automatic air conditioning and rear seat air outlet, etc. have been included in the standard category.

(2) "280TSI Hot Edition" with a guidance price of 159,900 yuan
Of course, I believe that the vast majority of consumers who like the new Lingdu L are not willing to buy only the door car, not to mention that from the entry car to a higher configuration grade, it is only necessary to increase the car purchase budget of 10,000 yuan.

Since the new Lingdu L can get a rich configuration upgrade from the entry model upwards, for potential customers with a more adequate car purchase budget, is it a "280TSI Cool Hot Edition" with a guiding price of 169,900 yuan to upgrade the configuration grade to the top of the car, which is a higher cost-effective choice?

※ Editor's Comments:
It is estimated that most friends will feel that honda Civic must have pioneered the concept of sports family cars. In particular, the previous generation of Civic (the tenth generation) not only has a sporty shape design, but also has outstanding power performance, so it has won the title of "God Car" and obtained satisfactory market performance. However, it is precisely because Civic took the lead in eating crabs and ate well, in the past year, even independent brand car companies have been unable to stand up and have begun to launch their own sports cars, such as MG 6, GAC Trumpchi Shadow Leopard, Changan UNI-V and so on.
For such a market pattern, SAIC Volkswagen, which created Lingdu in 2015 for the needs of young consumers, will inevitably have high hopes for the new Lingdu L in the face of a stronger market demand than in previous years. It is precisely for this reason that saicid volkswagen officials have provided consumers with sufficiently sincere prices and a series of preferential policies to bless them at the moment when the new Lingdu L is officially listed. So, do you think the new generation of Lingdu L is worth such a fare? Welcome to leave a message in the comment area to discuss.
