Civic ushered in a new opponent, is the comprehensive innovation of Lingdu L more worthy of choice?

The market for joint venture compact cars is strong, which means that latecomers need to have strong strength to have the opportunity to challenge opponents who have already established themselves. On March 31, saicki Volkswagen Lingdu L, a high-profile joint venture compact car, was officially launched, with a suggested retail price of 149,900-18.99 million yuan, which partially coincided with the price of the 11th generation Civic (price: 12.99-16.39 million yuan). So, does Lingdu L have the ability to snatch the cake from civic hands? Or, spend more than 100,000 yuan to buy Lingdu L or Civic? Today, the car buyer will tell you the answer.

Appearance: Civic is very sporty, but Lingdu L is more eye-catching

As a new replacement model, Lingdu L adopts a very personalized front face design, exaggerated down intake grille and sharp headlight combination, can bring people a strong visual impact. However, being too individualistic often means that the audience will be narrower, and I am afraid that some people are not very interested in such designs. However, such a bold design is already a big innovation for the public.

In fact, in addition to the fully personalized front face, the frameless car door and hatchback tailgate are also the highlights of the Lingdu L, and these designs are undoubtedly more attractive than the through-line taillights. In addition, the presence of the hatchback tailgate can further enhance the practicality of the trunk, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. Unfortunately, the exhaust of Lingdu L is hidden design, and the sense of movement is slightly lacking.

In terms of the personality of the front face, the Civic is not as good as LingDu L, but the sporty design is still good. For example, civic grilles, wheel hubs and other places are blackened design, coupled with the bilateral double exhaust layout, significantly improving the sporty atmosphere of the vehicle. If you like conspicuous sporty design, then the eleventh generation Civic is undoubtedly more suitable for you.

In terms of lighting configuration, Lingdu L is equipped with LED headlights, LED daytime running lights and automatic headlights as standard, and the top model also has adaptive far and near light functions. Civic is equipped with LED daytime running lights and automatic headlights as standard, and the top model is also equipped with adaptive far and near light function, but there is no standard LED headlights, which is not as good as Lingdu L thick road.

As can be seen from the size data, the body of Lingdu L is a circle larger than the Civic, but the wheelbase is slightly inferior, which is really a bit surprising. However, with a similar wheelbase, a larger body can indeed further improve the comfort of the ride. In the eyes of consumers who love large bodies, Lingdu L should be more attractive.

Interior: Lingdu L's sense of fashion is stronger

In the interior part, Lingdu L adopts the popular dual screen design, coupled with exquisite gear shift levers and other designs, the overall look is more stylish than the Civic. In addition, the size of the central control screen of Lingdu L can reach 12 inches, while the central control screen of Civic is only 9 inches. As for the dashboard, the full LCD dashboard of both models has a maximum of 10.2 inches, and the sense of technology is sufficient.

It is worth mentioning that Lingdu L and Civic both support mobile phone interconnection functions, which can bring users a variety of car and machine experiences. However, Lingdu L supports CarPlay and CarLife in its entire range, while Civic only supports CarLife, which is slightly insufficient.

As for the overall configuration, it can be seen from the comparison between the Lingdu L 280TSI Hot Edition and the Civic 240TURBO Edition that in the case of similar prices, the overall configuration of the Civic is often richer, which is because the Contrast Civic is closer to the top match, and the configuration is naturally richer. Although the Lingdu L 280TSI hot version is not a high-end model, the overall configuration is not bad, even the driving assistance functions such as active braking and lane departure warning are also available.

Motivation: The Civic has more choices and more motivation

In terms of the most important power, Lingdu L is currently equipped with a 1.4T engine, which has a maximum power of 110kW and a maximum torque of 250N·m, of which the maximum power is greater than the low-power 1.5T engine of the Civic, but slightly inferior to the high-power 1.5T engine of the Civic. In terms of transmission, The Lingdu L is equipped with a 7DCT gearbox, while the Civic is equipped with a CVT gearbox, and neither of which has a manual transmission option.

In the suspension part, Lingdu L and Civic both use the suspension combination of front McPherson + rear multi-link, in which the Suspension of Civic is full of toughness and can give people sufficient confidence in cornering. Lingdu L's suspension is more home-oriented, ensuring comfort and can also play a good role in side-roll suppression. In terms of hub size, the Lingdu L has 17-inch and 18-inch wheels to choose from, while the Civic wheels are up to 17 inches and the minimum is 16 inches.

Through comparison, it can be found that the appearance design of Lingdu L is more personalized, the body is larger, but the power selectivity is less, and the configuration at the same price point is not as good as the Civic. In short, compared with the Civic, Lingdu L cannot achieve full crushing. If you like a personality look, hatchback tailgate and frameless doors, then the Lingdu L is simply a model tailored to you. If you prefer conventional design and care more about the affordability of the price, then Civic will be more suitable for you.
