When it comes to the compact sedan with a movement of about 150,000 yuan, many people will think of the Civic, but the image of the latest generation of Civic has become "good". If you want to find a cooler model, don't forget that there is a model in the German camp that is mainly fun, that is, Lingdu, which has the title of "wide-body coupe". After waiting for 7 years, it finally ushered in a replacement model and was renamed Lingdu L.

A Volkswagen with an unobstructed shape

If a model is a fun-loving model, then the appearance must definitely work hard. Lingdu L adopts the design concept of spicy aesthetics, a design style that has not been seen in previous Volkswagen models. Anyway, this design is not to say whether it looks good or not, whether everyone can accept it, but at least it can change most people's inherent thinking about the public "nesting doll" tactics.

Volkswagen's digital cockpit is equipped with dual screens for the first time

Although there is no matryoshka on the outside, the interior part is basically a continuation of Volkswagen's current new car road, using a digital cockpit. However, Lingdu L has a "first", that is, through the 12-inch central control large screen + 10-inch LCD instrument panel connected into a one-piece screen, it can also be regarded as making a little different design elements in the module.

"L" size increases to increase legroom

In fact, Lingdu has an "L" behind it, which actually means that the size of the whole car has increased significantly. According to the manufacturer's personnel, it can bring More spacious riding space and a broader driving vision for Lingdu L. Of course, after the actual experience, if the sitting posture can be lower, then it is more in line with the positioning of this fun model.

Volkswagen's classic power formula

At the time when the Lingdu L first came out, many people would think that the appearance had changed so much, so it should be the first model to use the latest 1.5T engine. But unfortunately, Lingdu L still uses the golden combination of the previous generation EA211 1.4T engine + 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, fortunately, this golden combination has been equipped on many Volkswagen models, and there is no problem with the tacit understanding between the two components. As for whether the 1.5T version will come, the performance of the manufacturer's people, Lingdu L will most likely not be the first "crab-eating" model, but it is certain that the previous generation of 2.0T GTS version will not have this generation of models.

Between the previous generation of Lingdu and high and low power models, when it comes to Lingdu L, it will not play virtual, and it is unified to be a 280TSI high-power version of the model. The power feeling of driving up is close to that of the previous generation model, and the overall adjustment is not radical, and there is no obvious burst point. Daily acceleration favors that kind of circular acceleration feeling. In the case of running at high speed, the rear section acceleration power reserve is sufficient.

If you want to experience the potential of this power combination in depth, SPORT mode + S block can give you the answer, but the acceleration is a little stronger, but it is far from the performance of the explosion. At the same time, when your "floor oil" accelerates, it will take about half a second or so for there to be obvious power feedback. Of course, you can rest assured that the power combination of 1.4T+7DSG is completely sufficient for daily driving.

Volkswagen has been playing with dual-clutch transmissions for more than 10 years, so some people think that low-speed situations will inevitably have a shift setback as a small probability event. In addition, this transmission is more active in daily upshifting, basically not perceiving its gear shift setback, but the big foot throttle wants it to downshift, and its timing opportunity is relatively not positive for upshifting.

The long suspension stroke of the body can absorb daily vibrations from the road surface, and can also be quickly handled in the face of larger shocks from the road surface. And the treatment process retains the tenacity of the German taste. The whole car does not become very sporty because it is a coupe, and the comfortable riding performance is what the car shows.

However, when cornering quickly, its steering ratio, front direction and body tilt control, compared to the Civic model is not particularly top-notch in performance, perhaps the bottom is to make a comfortable coupe that everyone likes, but its performance is much better than that of the same level of family cars, and the Dunlop SPORT MAXX tires also provide a guarantee for the grip of the whole vehicle.

There are concerns that the bezel-less door design will not affect the NVH level in the car, and the answer is no. When running at high speed, the wind noise in the outside world can be suppressed in place, but the tire noise from the road surface becomes the main source of noise, but these will not affect the communication of people in the car.
