Seeing the Volkswagen models on the road, there does not seem to be much difference, only the recognition of CC is still higher, Bora, Langyi, Maiten, Passat and other models make people silly and confused, which also leads to the first impression of netizens on the Volkswagen is matryoshka dolls. Just when everyone was thinking about when volkswagen would be able to terminate the nesting doll, the arrival of Lingdu L made the market bright, and at this time, Volkswagen once again became a hot spot in the market. So, is this "spicy steamed bun" worth our hands on?
Born on the MQB EVO platform, its appearance looks more personal. The front face adopts the design method of placing the grille underneath, the car logo is connected to the middle of the headlights by the LED light group, and the through-type LED lights are lit at the same time as the car logo, which brings a certain recognition effect. In fact, the appearance highlight of this car is not the appearance, but the door and tailgate, the door adopts a borderless design, in addition, the tailgate also adopts the hatchback opening method, only these two points have a high competitiveness in the same level of models.
In the interior part, Volkswagen introduced a combined screen to highlight the sense of technology, and a large number of physical buttons were eliminated in the car, and most of the functions were operated in the central control screen. However, this set of designs did not please too many netizens, the reason is that the design of the conjoined screen has been applied for a long time, and now it only appears in the Volkswagen Lingdu L, which seems a little too late. In addition, most of the functions are operated in the car machine system, which will affect the convenience, on the one hand, many functions should be selected in the secondary menu, on the other hand, the screen does not have the feedback of the physical buttons, which is not very friendly to the operation when driving, of course, everyone experiences differently.
The 10-inch LCD dashboard and the 12-inch central control screen do have a good performance in terms of display, but the car machine system is more general in terms of optimization, open some software, and the system will be slightly stuck.
The wheelbase of the old model is 2656mm, but the wheelbase of the new model is 2731mm, in fact, this car is more in line with the A+ level, and on the basis of wheelbase optimization, the rear space has been improved. However, the slip-back design also brings some problems, that is, the head space in the back row will be insufficient, and people with a height of more than 180cm will have a certain sense of space depression when sitting in the back row. However, the seat comfort is still relatively good, some models of Volkswagen are designed to be straighter in the rear seat angle, but the rear angle of the Volkswagen Lingdu L is relatively large, and the comfort has been improved.
When you see its appearance, you will feel very strange, but when you open it, it will give you a very familiar feeling. The EA211's 1.4T turbocharged engine with 7-speed dry dual-clutch transmission has been used in many models, and this powertrain is relatively mature. Its biggest feature is that the acceleration of the front section is very strong, and the acceleration of the middle section is relatively good, but due to the reason of the displacement, the acceleration of the back section will obviously not keep up with the rhythm.
In fact, this is also one of the manifestations of Volkswagen's understanding of the mentality of the Chinese people, in China, most of the car families are driving in the urban area, so the driving time in the low-speed range accounts for the main proportion, then the adjustment in the low-speed aspect has become the focus, the high-speed aspect is limited by the highest 120km standard, so the rear acceleration does not seem to have much significance, so the Volkswagen will adjust the low torque of this engine more sufficiently.
summary:
See the above details, perhaps everyone has a new understanding of this car, but whether this car can become a hot spot depends on its actual performance, on the one hand, this dry double clutch is one of its pain points, although the frustration is much smaller than before, but there will still be, and the stability compared to CVT gearbox and AT gearbox does not have too many advantages. Therefore, after the car is listed, it seems too far-fetched to expand the market share by relying only on the appearance value. How volkswagen Lingdu L specifically performs, let's wait and see.
