"The current market is the market of young people, who can grasp the hearts of young consumers, who can succeed", this sentence is the portrayal of the current car market, after 90 or even after 00 has become the main force of car purchase, whether it is Mercedes-Benz BMW or Toyota Honda, or domestic Geely and the Great Wall, are in the design of the effort, how to attract attention how to come, how to exercise how to come.
I am the owner of the Honda Civic, but also a sports car enthusiast, so before the volkswagen new Lingdu L has been listed before the store has run to the store for test drive, I will use my feelings to talk about the characteristics of the two models, to see who is the representative of the 150,000-level sports family car.
Let's talk about the Civic first, my car was purchased in December last year, bought a 1.5T ignition version, landed less than 170,000 yuan, and currently opened 13,000 kilometers. In general, Civic gives me a relatively satisfactory feeling, there are two reasons for choosing this car, first of all, the appearance of the new Civic has changed a lot, compared to the old model is more restrained, although I like sports cars, but the previous generation of Civic is not stable, the new generation of the replacement that retains the sporty design, the overall style is more atmospheric, looks more pleasing to the eye. Then there is its power, the 1.5T engine has a maximum horsepower of 182 horses, a fast start, a good acceleration feeling in the middle and rear sections, and the use of the CVT gearbox is fuel-efficient without any setbacks.
However, the shortcomings of the Civic are not nothing, Honda is known as "buy the engine to send the car" title, after driving the Civic I understand the meaning of this sentence, its interior material is really general, plastic parts are too much, the center console and the door panel are everywhere are hard bang bang material, there is no sense of high-grade to speak of, in addition, civic trunk space is not too large, has appeared more than once to put things on the back seat of the situation, and then honda models are habitual sound insulation, after opening up the sound of the engine, Wind noise and tire noise are also available, especially when running at high speed, and the music in the car needs to be driven to a loud sound to cover.
Let's talk about the 2022 Lingdu L that I tested, from the appearance point of view, it is more dynamic and fashionable than the Civic, because the new Lingdu L has changed too much, it removes the straight and straight lines used by the Volkswagen family, the whole car is round and full, the front face adopts a non-balanced design, the exaggerated grille below is equipped with slender LED headlights, which enhances the recognition of the front face, and the effect is amazing after the dynamic through-beam logo is lit; the side front and rear doors use a borderless design, and the roof to the rear is a sneaky design. Together with the slightly upturned tail wing, the offensive posture is outlined, and the trunk is opened in a hatchback style, and the penetrating rear taillights echo the front face. Like civics, Lingdu L also has a variety of beautiful car paint colors, in addition to mint blue and pepper red and other 6 kinds of car paint, SAIC Volkswagen also provides electro-optical metal couture blue, electro-optical metal rose gold, electro-optical metal gem green, matte ceramic khaki gray, electric metal cherry blossom powder 5 official color change services, for young people, this is very fresh, only from the appearance of the same level of few opponents.
The interior of Lingdu L has also undergone no small changes, the 10.2-inch LCD instrument and the 12-inch suspension central control screen are connected together, taking up most of the area of the center console, three racing-style multi-function steering wheels, small gear shift levers and layered center consoles, the exquisite side is created very well.
In terms of space and power, the length / width / height of Lingdu L is superior to the Civic, the wheelbase is 2731mm, and the Civic's 2735mm is equivalent, the actual internal space experience on the two cars almost a draw, Lingdu L wins in the trunk space, the maximum loading capacity of 1446L can already be compared to some compact SUVs. It is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, the maximum torque of 250 Nm, matching the 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, Volkswagen's power system is equipped with a very wide range, used in the Lingdu L to start strongly, the gearbox shift is very fast, low speed can rarely feel the setback, the acceleration of the rear section is not weak. Focusing on the driving experience of Lingdu L, it uses a multi-link independent rear suspension, whether it is low speed or medium high speed, it can have a very stable body posture, the comfort of the suspension is also good, and the quietness in the car is significantly better than the Honda Civic.
Overall, Honda Civic is still an excellent product, its problem is that after the redesign did not solve the problem of poor sound insulation, and Volkswagen Lingdu L is undoubtedly more comprehensive, its appearance, interior and practicality can be called the leader of the same level, dynamic driving experience also has a good performance. If you have to choose a car to represent the 150,000-level joint venture car, I am more inclined to volkswagen Lingdu L, how will you choose?
