With the liberalization of the three-child policy, MPV models have begun to enter the vision of more home users. Compared with the 7-seater SUV, the MPV model is more spacious and comfortable, and the utilization rate of space is also higher, so for families who plan to have a second or third child, the MPV model is a more reasonable choice. Various car manufacturers also look at this, have launched the brand's MPV models, of which SAIC Volkswagen launched a new medium and large MPV Weiran after the listing has been welcomed by many consumers, in early 2022, Weiran launched an annual redesign model, although the appearance has not changed, but the interior upgrade is obvious, the configuration is more abundant. Compared with the old models, the price range has not changed, which is equivalent to increasing the amount without increasing the price, and after the price performance is improved, it has more advantages in the competition with the same level of models.
The 2022 SAIC Volkswagen Weiran launched a total of 5 models, with a price range of 286,800-399,800 yuan, compared with the old model, a new 380TSI zunchi version. The configuration of the entry-level version of the 330TSI Business Edition has been improved under the condition that the price remains unchanged, which can be said to be an increase in the amount without a price increase. So how to choose these 5 models? Which one is the best value for money? Today we will take a look at how to choose the 2022 Weiran from the perspective of the car purchase guide.
First, a brief description of the model
In terms of appearance, the 2022 Weiran model has not changed much compared to the old model, the front face is still the Volkswagen family design, the large-size inverted trapezoidal grille with the sharp LED headlight group on both sides, the entire front of the car is still a calm and atmospheric feeling. In addition, in the external configuration, the steering auxiliary lighting equipped with the headlights and the functions such as adaptive near and far light are not missing.
From the side, the new car continues the design of the old model, and outlines the layering of light and shadow flow through the design of the upper and lower waistlines. At the same time, in the front fender position, the top model has added an exclusive FLAG SHIP body logo, creating an exclusive sense of honor.
In terms of the rear of the car, the design of the 2022 Weiran model still maintains a simple and layered design style, and the chrome trim through the rear and the logo in the middle position are flattened to widen the visual effect of the rear. The shape of the taillights remains unchanged, and the interior still uses a number of different shapes of the lamp beads to form the light strip, coupled with the blackening effect on the outside of the lampshade, making the new car look more refined.
The 2022 model offers five body exterior colours, two interior colours for consumers to choose from, namely Danxia Red, Corona Gold, Glacier White, Basalt Black and Icelandic Silver, while the interior is standard brown with an optional beige interior. From the perspective of color, although there are not many choices, it can also meet the needs of home use.
In terms of rims, the business version is equipped with 18-inch rims (235/60 R18), the deluxe version is equipped with 19-inch rims (235/55 R19), and the other two models are 20-inch wheels (235/50 R20), which is rare in the same class.
In terms of interior, the 2022 Weiran change is still relatively obvious, replaced by a new family design style, the interior layer is more abundant, the new steering wheel plus the large-size suspension central control screen design, the overall young a lot. At the same time, the new car also adopts a small electronic barrier to make the interior of the car more concise.
In terms of details, the 2022 Weiran eliminated the independent touch air conditioning panel, adopted a connectivity design between the center console and the central armrest box, and formed a hollow storage space, which improved the practicality as an MPV and was a good change.
In terms of vehicles and machines, the 2022 Weiran is equipped with the latest Volkswagen MOS3.2 operating system, and the new system has greatly improved its voice control, online functions, and running fluency compared with before.
The powertrain has not changed, and the 330TSI and 380TSI are still available in both power-equipped models, both with 2.0TSI engines, the former with a low-power version of 137 kW and 320 Nm, and the latter with a high power of 162 kW and 350 Nm. The transmission is mated to a 7-speed DSG dual-clutch transmission, code-named DQ500.
Second, the model configuration highlights and recommendations
Compared with the 2020 330TSI Business Edition, the 2022 330TSI Business Edition adds driving assistance functions such as cruise control, lane departure warning, lane keeping and active braking under the condition of constant price, and the car machine system is also equipped with navigation functions. However, like reversing images, electric sliding doors, electric trunks and mobile phone wireless charging, these are still not equipped, so although the 330TSI business version has been improved, it is not the most cost-effective choice.
Third, the difference between the recommended model configuration analysis
Looking at the whole series of models, it is obvious that the 330TSI deluxe version with a price of 306,800 is the most recommended, although the guidance price is 20,000 yuan higher than that of the entry-level business version, but the increased configuration can be said to be a qualitative leap, the external configuration is upgraded to a 19-inch rim, and there are double-sided electric sliding doors and electric induction tailgates. Intelligent technology configuration, from the recommended model to be equipped with 12-inch central control screen, 10 color mood lights, mobile phone wireless charging, full speed adaptive cruise, leather steering wheel, leather seats, front seat electric adjustment and heating function, I believe that consumers who choose to buy the new Weiran, will not refuse to spend more than 20,000 yuan to get the above configurations. The 19-inch rim makes the vehicle more upscale, and many additional features are added to meet the usual daily demands for comfort and convenience.
Let's look at the 380TSI Zunchi edition, which is also a new model of Weiran, compared with the recommended model, in addition to the price of 15,000 yuan, there is only the difference between power and maintenance quality, the former is equipped with a 2.0T high-power engine, the overall configuration level of the two models is exactly the same. Therefore, if you are not particularly demanding power, there is no need to spend an extra 15,000 yuan to buy this high-power version. After comprehensive comparison, the 330TSI Deluxe Edition has the most comprehensive configuration and relatively suitable price, which is the most cost-effective of the 5 models, and it is recommended to give priority when purchasing.
