Recently, the new SAIC Volkswagen Lingdu L was officially launched, and the new car contains a total of 4 models, with a price range of 149,900-189,900 yuan. To tell the truth, the pricing of Volkswagen Lingdu L is not low, but combined with the performance of Volkswagen Lingdu L, it can be said that it has the competitive advantage of the A+ market ceiling, and can even cross the level challenge. Of course, there are also consumers with 170,000 in hand who hesitate between the Volkswagen Lingdu L and the lowest Toyota Camry. Today we will talk about it, with 170,000 in hand, the new Volkswagen Lingdu L and the lowest Toyota Camry, who does not regret it?
First of all, the minimum Toyota Camry mentioned here refers to the 2021 2.0E Elite Edition model with a guiding price of 179,800. Since the current model has a price discount of about 10,000 at the terminal, it is obviously the most appropriate to put it together with the 169,900 2022 Lingdu L 280TSI DSG Cool Edition. As for why not choose the top pairing Lingdu L, I personally feel that the performance of the 169,900 Lingdu L in terms of configuration and other aspects is obviously enough, and the cost-effective advantage is more obvious.
Back to the point, let's get back to the product. First of all, in terms of appearance, compared with the Toyota Camry, the design of the new Lingdu L is really too young and too sporty, which can be called the design advantage of the A+ market ceiling. As a replacement product, the new Lingdu L is based on the Volkswagen MQB Evo platform, the entire design is very bold, the front face looks quite low, and even has a small CC feeling. The focus is not only on the sharp shape of the headlights, but also with the through-beam strip and the luminous LOGO, which has the feeling of SAIC Volkswagen ID. series products, and the visual recognition at night is very high.
As for the side styling, the new Volkswagen Lingdu L and Toyota Camry are mainly sports and fashionable, and the lines are gorgeous. However, in terms of tail design, the new Lingdu L still brings a lot of surprises to everyone, using through-type taillights at the same time, but also like the front part, it can be lit together with the LOGO. In addition, the trunk is equipped with an integrated spoiler design, which also adds a sense of sport to a certain extent.
However, some netizens have questioned whether the new A+ level Lingdu L can really compete with the B-level king Camry? In fact, don't look at the new Lingdu L body size is only 4784 * 1831 * 1469mm, but the visual effect is no worse than the length and width of the 4885 * 1840 * 1455mm Camry. And because the new Lingdu L adopts a frameless door and other designs, it looks more pleasing to consumers.
In terms of interior, the design of the new Lingdu L is also full of science and technology, and the dual screen composed of suspended digital instrument + suspension central control large screen is indeed exaggerated enough, but compared to camry, it seems to be somewhat abrupt, but when the actual test drive, everyone will find that the design of Lingdu L is very practical, and there is no need to look down at all. However, in addition to the top W-HUD head-up display system, even the 169,900-strong 2022 Lingdu L 280TSI DSG Cool Edition also needs to be equipped with this configuration.
Don't think that the 169,900 2022 Lingdu L 280TSI DSG Cool Edition has a low configuration, and compared with the 2021 2.0E Elite Toyota Camry, the configuration of the Lingdu L is a complete victory. It should be known that the Camry at this price point does not even have basic configurations such as front and rear parking radar and cruise control, and Lingdu L even brings L2-level intelligent driving assistance.
Then there is the space aspect, many people know that the German car of the same level is larger than the Japanese car, but how does the A+ class Lingdu L perform? In terms of data, the wheelbase of the Volkswagen Lingdu L is 2731mm, which is obviously not as good as the Camry's 2825mm. But in terms of actual riding experience, the gap between the two cars is almost negligible.
Finally, the powertrain, the new Volkswagen Lingdu L will be equipped with the familiar EA211 1.4T engine (280TSI), with a maximum power of 150 hp and a maximum torque of 250 Nm, and the drivetrain is matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The benchmark Camry uses a 2.0L engine, the maximum power is 178 horsepower, the maximum torque is 210 Nm, don't look at the horsepower value is not small, the actual driving up is a kind of small horse-drawn cart feeling.
Overall, although the new Volkswagen Lingdu L currently has no discounts, even so, it is actually more recommended that everyone choose it. If you must buy a Camry, it is still recommended to choose a hybrid version of the model or a 2.5L model, and the 2.0L Camry will be counted, I am really afraid that you will regret it.
