As we all know, now in more than 100,000 A-class family cars, Xuanyi, Corolla, Leiling and other Japanese cars are mainly for home use, large space, low fuel consumption is their selling point, only Civic is an exception, the big slip back shape plus 1.5T Earth Dream engine brought by the good power performance, so that it is favored by many young people, whether the old or new sales are relatively good. However, Civic has recently ushered in a very "hardcore" opponent, that is, Volkswagen Lingdu L, so what is the difference between the two cars? Not long ago, a friend next to me was planning to buy a car, and after test driving two cars separately, he finally chose the latter, so let's listen to his opinion.
First of all, let's talk about the Civic, although the new model also adopts a slip-back body design after the replacement, but the appearance is not as personal as the old model, and the overall style is more inclined to household use, but the interior has made some progress, the workmanship is more refined, and the plastic sense is not as strong as the original. The performance in terms of space is relatively average, although the wheelbase has been increased to 2735mm, but the rear is not very spacious, which is medium in the A-class sedan. Power is still equipped with a 1.5T engine, the maximum horsepower increased to 182 horses, matching the CVT gearbox, speeding up briskly, steering is also more flexible, is still a very good open model, and fuel consumption is not high, but sound insulation is still a short board, tire noise is large.
Let's talk about Lingdu L, volkswagen Lingdu has always been known as "wide-body luxury coupe", due to the low-lying wide-body coupe modeling full of sport, there was a period of time when the heat was still very high, especially sought after by young people, but in recent years due to the same level of opponents have been replaced, and Lingdu has not moved, so the attention is not as good as before, this new model is finally listed, friends are also eager to experience it. Many people know that Volkswagen's models are basically designed with "matryoshka dolls" in appearance, if they are friends who are not familiar with the car, they can't tell what is different between Langyi, Bora and Sagitar, and the new Lingdu L is based on MQB-EVO Volkswagen's new generation of digital intelligent architecture platform, and the appearance characteristics are very distinct.
The front face of this car uses a very exaggerated large mouth grille, the style is somewhat similar to Ferrari's supercar, the lower visual center of gravity makes the front face look very low, iq light digital light group and the middle through light strip integrated, the effect after lighting is very recognizable, and the bulging rib line on the engine cover also highlights its muscular feeling. From the side, the whole car still adopts a large slip-back coupe design, the visual proportions of the 18-inch two-color wheels are coordinated, the rear of the car uses the currently popular through-type taillights, the upturned small tail fins are connected with the lines on the rear wing panels, the bottom is replaced by chrome strips, and the real exhaust pipe is hidden under the car.
It is worth mentioning that the four doors of Lingdu L are all frameless design, and also have hatchback tailgates, which is unique among the 150,000-class compact cars, even if the "AMG Shadow Leopard" comes to give three points.
Coming to the car, now Volkswagen's new car uses a new digital cockpit, Lingdu L is no exception, the 10.2-inch full LCD dashboard and 12-inch central control screen composed of a double large screen is eye-catching enough, only a small number of physical buttons are retained in the car, plus a small paddle shift mechanism, the sense of science and technology is quite in place. In addition, the new car also uses a new style of steering wheel, not only the grip is thick, in the three or nine o'clock position also with punching treatment, the front seats on both sides of the wings are very wide, in the driving time can be a good fixation of people, all this is to better create a sense of sport, and because the wheelbase increased to 2731mm, and Sagitar is consistent, so the rear space has also been greatly improved than the old model.
In terms of configuration, friends think that the cost performance of the sub-low model is higher, in addition to electronic parking, reversing radar, reversing image, sunroof, keyless start, keyless entry, automatic air conditioning and rear seat air outlet these more conventional functions, but also with lane departure warning, lane keeping assistance, road traffic sign recognition, active braking and full speed adaptive cruise and other active and passive safety configurations and driving assistance functions, so that when running high-speed, it will be much more convenient, In addition, the car's car machine supports CarPlay and CarLife mobile phone interconnection, which is friendly to Apple and Android users. Of course, if the budget is enough, it is actually more fragrant with high-end models, because there are electric induction trunks, mobile phone wireless charging, 30-color mood lights, and beats audio.
In terms of power, Lingdu L is still equipped with Volkswagen's classic power combination, 1.4T turbo engine maximum power 150 horsepower, maximum torque 250 Nm, matching 7-speed DSG dual-clutch transmission, don't look at the parameters of the engine is not as good as the Civic, but friends who have driven Langyi, Bora or Sagitar know that this power combination is absolutely grumpy enough, a foot on the throttle down to speed up very fast, but also experience the legendary push back feeling. Friends feel that about the power of this matter, can not only look at the engine parameters and 100 km acceleration time, but also have to go to the test drive, some cars seem to have good data, but the feeling of driving is very slow, which is related to the maximum torque of the engine and the gearbox matching, after all, driving in the urban area and measuring zero hundred acceleration are two concepts.
The above is some of the actual feelings of friends about Honda Civic and Volkswagen Lingdu L, after trying it, I feel that the style of the two cars is still somewhat different, Civic in the pursuit of dynamics at the same time, the bones or to be more family-oriented, power output linear, CVT gearbox is very smooth, and Lingdu L whether the appearance or open up is more aggressive, and the interior is more technological than the Civic look, so in the end he chose Lingdu L, I don't know who you think these two cars are more attractive?
