SAIC Volkswagen's new Lingdu L is finally listed, and the price range of 149,900 yuan - 189,900 yuan is basically the same as that of the old model, and it is also within the expectation range of most media. The price of this thing to be honest, will not make everyone satisfied, there are always people feel expensive, but the competitive price of a car is one aspect, but aside from the price, where is the competitiveness of Lingdu L?
Lingdu is a compact coupe model independently developed by SAIC Volkswagen 7 years ago, at that time some people said that it was benchmarked cc, in fact, in the strict sense of 7 years ago, Civic was not so hot at the moment, the concept of coupe is still relatively high-end existence, and the emergence of Lingdu is actually the price of the joint venture coupe to pull down a lot.
But after all, it was 7 years ago, the demand for the coupe market was not high, and SAIC Volkswagen did not take Lingdu as the main model, at that time, whether it was Langyi or Passat or Tiguan, it was a popular model in the market, relying on this troika SAIC Volkswagen was enough to laugh at the rivers and lakes, but time passed, consumer demand for vehicles was increasing, similar to Civic, Unco Sera and other joint venture coupes began to enter the market at low prices, and from last year onwards, domestic coupes also began to exert force, although the shadow leopard, Yixuan MAX, etc. Although the praise and depreciation are mixed, But at least the fame has been broken out, and the domestic low-end coupe market has begun to have a clear wind direction.
The core of this wind direction is that it is cool enough that it is impossible for the public to do ghostly teenagers like Shadow Leopard and Yi Xuan MAX, after all, Volkswagen has its own tonality, but on Lingdu L, SAIC Volkswagen is indeed young enough. Personally, I think that Lingdu L is attractive or its four borderless windows, such a set of things sell you for 149,900 yuan, it is indeed a bit heartwarming.
And Lingdu L slip back streamline roof, casual hatchback tailgate are full of elements of the coupe, coupled with the redesign of the large mouth shape and through-led head and tail lights, the stacking of fashion elements is indeed very in line with the needs of the current youth, the front and back luminous LOGO also shows such a lost ghost fire temperament, to be honest as a coupe at this price, Lingdu L's appearance is still a battle.
Of course, for the coupe, the power part is still very much looking forward to, but the fuel engine is already thinning, even Volkswagen may not develop a new fuel engine, so it is still the EA211 1.4TSI engine. However, the high power of the whole series is acceptable, the maximum horsepower is 150 horses, the peak torque is 250 Nm, and some people may say that the dry double clutch is the biggest failure, but for a car that pays attention to control, the shift speed of the dry double clutch is really powerful. And after so many years, will the public not make up for the defect of dry double clutch? This question can only be verified by the market after the listing.
However, for Lingdu L, and Audi A3L with the same platform may be its biggest pride, at least from the chassis point of view, Lingdu L uses the front McPherson independent suspension after the multi-link independent suspension can see the Audi A3L, plus the frameless window that the A3L does not have, when a small A3L is still a very good existence, if the driving control experience can be aligned with the A3L, the cost performance of this car is indeed very high.
Finally, in terms of intelligence, Lingdu L is also a good existence, first of all, it is equipped with L2 level automatic driving, which is also the mainstream configuration of the moment. Thanks to the MQB-EVO advanced digital architecture, this set is called IQ. Drive L2 level intelligent escort system, can be in a variety of different road conditions, actively help users to deal with multi-dimensional driving scenarios, Travel Assist driver assistance system can monitor the surrounding environment conditions in real time, intelligent and stop, etc., if the voice can be better, there may be more people who are satisfied.
Overall, looking at the appearance, power and related technical parameters of Lingdu L, this car is still good from 149,900 yuan, after all, it is a 1.4T high-power model, compared to the old entry is a low-power model, SAIC Volkswagen really showed sincerity. But this year SAIC Volkswagen has a lot of new cars, in addition to Lingdu L, the new Langyi is also about to debut, the publicity focus on which car may be SAIC Volkswagen needs to choose.
