Without bragging about "cowhide", if you plan to spend more than 100,000 yuan to buy a family car, then Volkswagen Langyi must be the choice that most consumers can't avoid. As one of the benchmarks of compact cars, the heat of Langyi has always been very high, in addition to the brand blessing of the Volkswagen LOGO, its own space, cost performance are good, and the cost of the car is also very cost-effective.
But in the context of rising oil prices, is It still cheaper to raise Langyi? Today we took a 2019 old model on sale, the "most rural" automatic Langyi to run the "100 Mile Challenge".
【Static Experience】
Of course, before we go, let's briefly review the static experience of Langyi. First of all, from the appearance point of view, the front face of Lang Yi is very popular, multi-strip chrome front grille, the left and right ends are directly connected to the headlight group, and it is known from a distance that it is a public, at least at the brand level.
In the side part, Langyi uses a lot of straight lines, so the side looks very tough, in terms of size, the length of Langyi is more than 4.6 meters, and the wheelbase is 2610mm (length, width and height are 4613/1765/1460mm), which is a relatively medium level in the same class of models.
In the rear part of the car, Langyi uses split headlights, and the lower bracket adopts a hidden exhaust design, and the overall look and feel is relatively simple.
Entering the car, the "public taste" of the Langyi interior is also relatively strong, first of all, the interior tone is dominated by black tones, and the standard T-shaped center console is so familiar. In particular, the dashboard and gear lever completely reveal a sense of age.
As a family car, spatial performance is the part that everyone cares about. Lang Yi's wheelbase is 2688mm, according to Teacher Qin's space challenge, the back row space performance is indeed good, but the middle platform is relatively high, and the three people sitting in the back row will be more cramped. At the same time, because the front/rear seats of this Lang Yi are all fabric seats, the ride texture is average.
【Dynamic Experience】
Now we're driving this One. The rule of our "100 Mile Challenge" column is to fill up the oil, run two laps on the 2.5 ring road in Chengdu, just 100km, and then fill up the oil to see the actual fuel consumption performance.
In terms of power, this Langyi is equipped with a 1.5L 4-cylinder naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum power of 112 horsepower, matching aisin's 6AT gearbox, and the acceleration time of 100 kilometers is about 14 seconds, so for young consumers who pursue performance, it is basically not your dish.
Of course, the overall performance of this 1.5L+6AT powertrain will be a bit lazy, but the power output is still linear, so the smoothness is no problem, and there will be no "one channel and one channel" feeling.
In terms of chassis suspension, Lang Yi uses the front McPherson type and the rear torque beam type non-independent suspension, and the overall adjustment is still hard, supportive, and the road sense is relatively clear. The advantage of non-independent suspension of the torque beam is that the cost is lower, the structure is simple, and the models of this level and price point are basically used in this way, of course, if you can get more connecting rods, the driving texture is definitely better.
In terms of sound insulation, Langyi's performance is OK, in the same level of the car, the sound of the engine is small, usually daily commuting, this noise level is not a big problem.
However, the configuration of this Langyi is too low, it does not have the information of the apparent fuel consumption, and can only see the small mileage, so this time it can only calculate the actual fuel consumption performance of Langyi according to the actual refueling amount.
brief summary:
In general, the reason why Langyi can sell well, in addition to the brand aura, its own strength is not bad, cost performance, space, use costs have highlights, so it is certainly no problem to take home commuting. But if you're a young consumer who values design, performance, and handling, you might want to look at other models.
