Lingdu in the Volkswagen series, has always been a special existence, this special in the design of the Dingxin Revolution, to put it bluntly, the design is novel enough, is a "look" is not much like volkswagen Volkswagen. It is precisely because of the positioning of the main sport, since the launch of Lingdu, a number of young users have been harvested in the market, and its earlier monthly sales have also exceeded 10,000 units.
But no matter how different, the current Lingdu has been in the market for many years, lacking a little freshness, Lingdu L was born in this context, the car has been officially listed on March 31, the price of 149,900-189,900 yuan.
As a replacement model, Lingdu L is based on the MQB EVO platform to create, its appearance has undergone a subversive change, the front face grille is very individual trend, the interior central control abandons Volkswagen's consistent symmetrical design, the introduction of dual screens, enhance the sense of science and technology; the length of the body increased by 169mm to 4784mm; the power follows the Volkswagen classic EA211 1.4TSI engine.
As for whether Lingdu L can win the favor of young users? Is it worth getting started? We need to have a more comprehensive understanding of the design, space, intelligence and other product performance of this car.
Can non-mainstream design cater to younger audiences?
Lingdu L is the most discussed is the front face shape, it is different from the regular large size intake grille, the lower grille with a curved line surface, so that the entire visual presentation is more personality avant-garde, with slender headlamps, frontal view, visual impact is relatively strong, and we recognize the Sense of Stability emphasized by Volkswagen.
But coincidentally here, the body line of Lingdu L does not adopt an angular cut edge treatment, but pays more attention to the sense of streamline, which weakens the visual aggression to a certain extent. In the design of the headlamp shape, Lingdu L adopts a through-line light strip, and even the LOGO can dynamically emit light, enhancing the sense of science and technology.
The bigger attraction of the new car is the bezel-less door, the slipback roof and the hatchback tailgate, the superposition of these elements further strengthens the identity of the Lingdu L sports coupe, which has also become one of the few sports coupes in the same class to provide a frameless door design, and the doors are double-layer laminated.
The benefits of the bezel-less door are obvious, filling the stylish atmosphere of the whole car, while the hatchback tailgate takes into account a certain degree of practicality and is convenient to pick up and place items in the trunk.
Overall, the appearance design of Lingdu L is completely running to the aesthetics of young people, fashion, personality, are its labels, personality design if properly grasped, not only can attract attention, but also stimulate young people's desire to buy, Toyota Camry with "radical" instead of "conservative" is a ready-made example, obviously, this is the advantage of Lingdu L.
Can asymmetric central control be recognized?
In terms of interior design, the new car echoes the appearance of the shape, emphasizing the sense of movement, the central control introduces the "asymmetrical" element, speaking of this unconventional design, it is also very elaborate designer's skills, a detail is not considered, and it will present a disorganized effect visually.
Therefore, Lingdu L adopts a suspended double screen, the use of straight lines, and the hidden air conditioner air outlet design, making the entire central control look simple. In addition, the large area of chrome trim that runs through the central control also makes the interior of Lingdu L look less dull, while the steering wheel is decorated with silver chrome trim.
It is worth saying that Lingdu L has also made great efforts in the creation of a scientific and technological atmosphere, including electronic gear levers, gesture operation central control screens, 30-color atmosphere lights and so on.
Does the shape of the coupe sacrifice space?
Because of the sneaky design of the coupe itself, it is bound to lead to some concessions in space, so Lingdu L has one more question in front of consumers: does it sacrifice space? Is it suitable for home use?
From the official data, the length, width and height of Lingdu L are 4784/1831/1469mm, and the wheelbase has reached 2731mm, which is the level of the A+ class car, with an almost flat platform, the rear leg space is basically guaranteed, and in order to make passengers not have too much pressure, Lingdu L can also choose to install a high-permeable large-size sunroof to broaden the field of vision.
In addition, the storage space of Lingdu L is also more powerful, with a conventional volume of 523L, and the rear seat can be expanded to 1446L, which is slightly superior to mainstream compact cars.
Obviously, Lingdu L not only meets the needs of young people to show their individuality, but also stays at home.
Are there intelligent systems that keep pace with the times?
For a newly listed model, it seems that it can't pass without talking about intelligence, does Lingdu L have an intelligent system that keeps pace with the times? Yes.
Talking about the basic car machine intelligence and driving assistance, the MOS 3.2 intelligent car machine system equipped by Lingdu L, in addition to the basic voice and navigation services, also adds some online services to improve the user's interconnection experience.
In terms of driving assistance systems, it includes ACC adaptive cruise, AEB emergency automatic braking, LKA lane keeping, etc.; from the configuration table, the sub-low matching price of 159,900 yuan has been basically completed. In general, the intelligent configuration of Lingdu L can also be regarded as a basic level that others have and I have.
In my opinion, the highlight of Lingdu L in terms of intelligence lies in the equipment of the headlights, and its entry-level model is equipped with automatic headlights, adjustable headlights, LED daytime running lights, etc., which is really aesthetic and practical.
Write at the back:
As a sports sedan, the advantages of The Lingdu L include personalized styling, good space and rich intelligent configuration.
Slightly insufficient is that Lingdu L in the power system, the use of conservative EA211 1.4TSI engine, this engine has its benefits, such as has been tested by the market for many years, reliability is guaranteed, and the fuel saving effect is outstanding, 100 kilometers of fuel consumption is less than 6L, but it is inevitable that the shortcomings of freshness, if you can upgrade the power, Lingdu L's subsequent market performance will be more worth looking forward to.
