In general, Lingdu L is a unique personality model, its iconic frameless doors, hatchback tailgate, will make it a topical model at this price point, and with topicality, it has the opportunity to attract consumers. The new Volkswagen Lingdu L has launched a total of 4 models, of which the hot version is the most entry-level version of the whole series. Although it is the lowest configuration, but the basic configuration of the hot and spicy version is still quite rich, such as a very practical full LED headlight, one-key start, keyless entry, multi-function steering wheel, automatic air conditioning, etc. are standard, although the comfort configuration is still missing, but the overall can still meet the needs of some entry-level consumers.

Compared with the hot and spicy version, the price of the hot version is 10,000 yuan, which belongs to its low-end model, but it is worth saying that the safety configuration adds active braking, lane departure warning, etc., which can effectively improve driving safety. The comfort configuration has also been greatly improved, the seat has been upgraded to imitation leather material, the main driver's seat has also adopted electric adjustment, and the material of the steering wheel has also been upgraded to leather material, which has a better feel. In general, the hot version is more than 10,000 yuan expensive, these configurations are still very cost-effective, and it is the most cost-effective of these 4 models. As for the hot version and the top super spicy flagship version, the configuration is definitely more abundant, but the price has gone to 170,000-190,000 yuan, and the top model has landed more than 210,000 yuan, and there will be more other models to choose from.

In the past year, lidar has been very popular in the car circle, just to claim that its product is "the world's first production car equipped with lidar", at least the Xiaopeng P5 and the Polar Fox Alpha S, as well as the Salon car. With the increasing number of models equipped with lidar, especially the new models of new forces, it seems that they do not see people without saying that they are equipped with lidar. So how much does lidar play a role in autonomous driving assistance?

Before the "fire" of lidar, millimeter-wave radar has been widely used in the car industry, it has obvious advantages, but also has obvious disadvantages, that is, it can only detect distance and speed, but can not detect the contour of the object. Therefore, the addition of lidar is to make up for the shortcomings of millimeter-wave radar, lidar has the advantages of high accuracy, good detection timeliness, strong night work ability, etc., so many car companies like to use it as a slogan. In fact, the use of different radars, learning from each other has been recognized by most car companies as a good way, so there is also a kind of ultrasonic radar is also favored by the car industry, this radar has high detection accuracy at close range, but the detection distance is generally only 2 or 3 meters, so it is widely used in automatic parking systems. In general, as long as the model positioning is high enough and the cost is allowed, the three radars are generally to be matched, so as to achieve high-level automatic driving assistance functions.

SUV is not equal to off-road vehicles, ordinary family urban SUVs basically do not have strong off-road capabilities, but have better passability and ability to get out of trouble than cars. A real off-road SUV must have a certain "hard power", that is to say, some off-road parameters of the vehicle itself are good enough. Among them, the "proximity angle" parameter is very important, because the larger the approach angle, the less likely the "contact" situation of the SUV to occur when going uphill and downhill, and the better its passing performance. Most urban SUV have a proximity angle of around 20°, while the Jeep Wrangler can reach a maximum approach angle of 35°. Secondly, there is the departure angle, the larger the departure angle, the less likely it is for the vehicle to hit the rear bumper when it goes downhill, that is to say, the larger the slope can be passed.

In addition, many urban SUVs now have four-wheel drive, such as time-sharing four-wheel drive, time-time four-wheel drive, full-time four-wheel drive, etc. urban SUVs also have, but with four-wheel drive can you "cross the mountains"? In fact, it is not only to see whether it is four-wheel drive, but also to see whether there is a differential lock and a low-speed four-wheel drive mode. First of all, let's talk about low-speed four-wheel drive, this function is also the difference between urban SUV and hardcore SUV. Low-speed four-wheel drive mode can amplify the torque, the general urban four-wheel drive SUV uses a timely four-wheel drive, and does not have a torque amplification function, so the urban four-wheel drive SUV's ability to get out of trouble is general, can not be used for off-road.
