For a long time, in the 100,000-level joint venture car market, Volkswagen Langyi has been suppressed by Nissan Xuanyi, so it has won the title of "Ten Thousand Years Old Two". In order to change this situation, Langyi will also carry out a complete revision, not only providing two front face styles, but also upgrading the interior design, configuration and body size. At present, the new Langyi has arrived in the store and is expected to be listed on May 11. Let's take a look at what changes the new car has made, and can the status of the "second in ten thousand years" change?
It is undeniable that today Volkswagen has begun to change to younger, including passats, Lingdu L and other models have no longer the shadow of the past Volkswagen steady and imposing, showing a sporty and fashionable visual effect, Volkswagen Langyi is no exception. The new chrome dot matrix grille is the same as the "Big Brother" Passat Starry Sky Edition, with a chrome trim strip running through the logo and connected to the daytime lights. The two sides of the through-style lower encirclement are also added with "fangs" shaped blackened trim, which is quite imposing and reveals a kind of youthfulness that overflows with words.
The front face of another style, although still a banner grille, was further enlarged in size and removed the thick chrome decoration around it, which at first glance looked quite similar to the current Sagittarius. In addition, the headlight shape of the new car has also been adjusted to a certain extent compared to the current model. The new three-stage lower bracket is more tense, and the outline of the hook-shaped chrome trim further enhances the sporty temperament. Although the front face of these two styles is more stylish, it lacks a bit of stability that a Volkswagen should have, of course, the benevolent see the wise.
The side of the body has not changed much, the straight lines show a tough posture, and the addition of dense spoke wheels brings a lot of luxury. In terms of body size, the new car has a length, width and height of 4678/1806/1474mm, and a wheelbase of 2688mm, which is slightly higher than the current model, and the wheelbase remains unchanged. The tail is mainly adjusted for the rear surround, which echoes the front face.
The interior changes are also renewed, the suspension of the large screen + full LCD instrument to keep up with the trend of the times, but also replaced with the family's latest style of multi-functional steering wheel, creating a good scientific and technological atmosphere. The black + gray-blue interior color scheme, a large number of stitched leather wrapping and chrome trim embellishments add more luxurious texture. The Starry Sky edition model incorporates red elements into local details, and the sports atmosphere is more intense. In terms of power, the 1.5L and 1.4T engines will continue to be used, and 1.2T engines will be added.
According to the suspected price previously exposed, the price of the new Langyi (the PA model in the picture) may be 127,200-160,600 yuan, and 6 models will be launched, including 3 1.5L models, 1 1.2T model and 2 1.4T models. Among them, the 1.5L model no longer provides manual transmission, the whole series is equipped with a 6AT gearbox, the lowest price is 127,200 yuan, compared with the current sale of 1.5L automatic fashion version increased by 2300 yuan. The new 1.2T model matches the 7DSG gearbox and is priced at 142,900 yuan, between the 1.5L model and the top match. The maximum price of the 1.4T model is suspected to be 160,600 yuan, an increase of 1,700 yuan compared with the current price of the DSG luxury version on sale.
On the whole, the more avant-garde design of personality, although it can attract many young consumers, will also lose some middle-aged consumer groups. The improvement of technology configuration is popular with everyone, but the corresponding price is also suspected of rising, so it is not a thick road. It has to be said that after the replacement of Passat and Lingdu L, they have been tepid and obviously not recognized, so it seems that the status of Langyi's "ten thousand years old two" is not guaranteed. Then, for the new Volkswagen Langyi what do you think, welcome to leave a comment.
