"I have a car" original shopping guide: After 7 years, the former "luxury wide-body coupe" finally ushered in its replacement model - Lingdu L. In addition to the official recognition of the nickname of "Spicy Steamed Buns", the new car has also replaced the MQB EVO platform, and at the same time, it has also been completely renewed in terms of interior and exterior decoration, in order to meet the expectations of young users for sports compact cars.
On March 31, 2022, the new generation of SAIC Volkswagen Lingdu L was officially listed, and the official guidance price was 149,900 to 189,900 yuan. In addition, the official also gave the right to buy a new car, including 2 years 85% off / 3 years 20% off value preservation repurchase, 3 years 3 free maintenance, up to 10,000 yuan replacement subsidies, etc.
▲ What kind of volkswagen is the new generation Ofduz L?
The new generation of Lingdu L uses a new exterior design, the flat front of the car to create a subduction posture, with a large size grille, the coupe flavor is full; the rear of the car uses a cross taillight, of course, from the C pillar to the rear is still a familiar back design, which can ensure a stronger sense of movement at the rear.
Next we will mainly talk about the highlights of the appearance level. The new generation of Lingdu L is equipped with IQ.LIGHT matrix LED light group in the front part of the car, which is more advanced than the competitors of the same level in terms of intelligent lighting, and the front face also adopts an integrated LED daytime running light design, and this time the front Volkswagen LOGO of the new car will also shine.
The rear of the car has a LAMANDO L English model logo, but I feel that this wave is too forced, and I want to make the tail look more concise in the later stage, and I will wash the label directly after the car. In addition, like the front of the car, the Volkswagen LOGO at the rear of the new car will also shine, and when the taillights are lit, the LOGO will also be lit, and the recognition is higher at night.
In order to highlight the coupe style, the new generation of Lingdu L is also equipped with four frameless doors, which is also one of the most obvious features of the car that is different from the same class; in addition, the new car is also designed with a hatchback tailgate, and the opening and closing angle is huge, while ensuring that it is handsome enough, it will also be directly full of practicality.
The car uses Volkswagen's latest smart cockpit design, the whole is based on digital style, good look or not varies from person to person, of which the new generation of Lingdu L in the center console part is set up with a 12-inch central control screen and 10.2-inch full LCD instrument, the resolution is very good, but the central control screen built-in MOS 3.2 intelligent car machine system is good to be further confirmed in the future.
In addition, the new generation of Lingdu L also provides automatic parking, Travel Assist intelligent driving assistance and other configurations, such as lane departure, active braking, adaptive cruise and other functions are fully equipped, with L2 level intelligent auxiliary driving capabilities. In addition, the new high-end models are also equipped with HUD function, with intelligent driver assistance and full LCD instruments to use for daily driving can improve a lot of safety factors.
As for the power part, the new generation of Lingdu L is equipped with the EA211 1.4T turbocharged engine, the maximum power is 150 horsepower (110 kW), the maximum torque is 250 Nm; in addition, the gearbox is still the full range of 7-speed dry dual clutch, even if this car has a sport mode, but unfortunately the entire series of the car lacks paddle shifters.
▲ Which one is the new generation of Lingdu L worth buying?
Since the power configuration of the new generation Lingdu L is consistent across the series, it is enough to compare the configuration differences between the versions. The 149,900 yuan 280TSI hot version is an entry-level model of the new car, with full LED headlights, through-line daily running lights, frameless doors, rear parking radar, 10.2-inch full LCD instrument, 10-inch central control screen, CarPlay/CarLife mapping, Internet of Vehicles, rear seat air outlet, etc.
Although the Lingdu L entry-level model can indeed meet the needs of basic cars, it is obviously almost interesting in terms of comfort configuration, such as seats or fabrics, a plastic steering wheel and no sunroof, which will make most consumers who care about the quality of life slightly mind.
If you spend 10,000 yuan more, you can upgrade to the 280TSI cool version, compared to the entry-level version, the former mainly upgraded the whole car seat belt is not tied reminder, lane departure warning, lane keeping, road traffic sign recognition, active braking, full speed domain adaptive cruise, electric sunroof, leather steering wheel, imitation leather seat material, main driving electric adjustment, rear central armrest, rear cup holder, it can be said that the increase of 10,000 yuan in exchange for the configuration is still quite cost-effective, can further enhance the daily car experience.
The 280TSI cool version priced at 169,900 yuan is already the sub-top version of the new generation of Lingdu L car series, compared with the cool version, the price of the car has increased by 10,000 yuan, in addition to the main rim increased by 1 inch to 18 inches (the tire is upgraded to 225 tire widths), but also increased the front parking radar, economy mode, comfort mode, electric trunk, induction trunk, electric trunk memory, front wireless charging, 12-inch central control screen, 30-color interior mood lights, temperature zone control, Although this 10,000 pieces is worth a lot, but the configuration improvement mostly stays at the emotional level, it is better to use this extra 10,000 yuan to pay the purchase tax, so the cool spicy version can only be ranked second in this issue of recommendation.
In addition, the cool spicy version compared to the hot version, we recommend the latter reason is actually another reason, in fact, the new generation of Lingdu L has such a personality of the appearance is indeed not bad, coupled with a variety of bright paint options, it seems that this is what young users should look like when buying sports compact cars. The power combination of 1.4T+7DSG is indeed one of the best in the same level, but the move to install a small displacement supercharged EA211 engine is also doomed to have no sports driving passion, compared with the more sporty 2.0T GTS version is the final answer to this type of personality car.
In the same way, the super spicy flagship version priced at 189,900 yuan is actually completely unnecessary, compared to the sub-top model, the version directly increased the price of 20,000 yuan, mainly added IQ.Light matrix headlights, HUD head display, Beats audio, steering wheel heating and other configurations, and even the front seat ventilation is given, the vehicle configuration performance is indeed in place, but considering that the addition of these configurations is only the icing on the cake, the mechanical quality has no actual improvement, Therefore, when buying a car in the future, you can directly pass it off.
Of course, if you have a good budget, you can consider buying the super spicy flagship version. However, since it is a choice of personalized cars, it is better to add some money to the golf GTI with a budget that is better than to add some money directly to the golf GTI, which includes personalized expression, mechanical quality and playability.
"I have a car" summary: the new SAIC Volkswagen Lingdu L is indeed particularly prominent in terms of personalized expression, and including space, configuration and other aspects can also achieve a very balanced performance, but because the new car this time did not give the GTS version, we think it is not cost-effective to buy a high-end configuration version, directly choose to buy the second low match seems to be the most correct choice, of course, if you have a special pursuit of power, it is recommended that you may wish to wait.
