The rejuvenation of the automotive market has long been a well-known "secret" of the public, from wide SUVs to bloated and fat MPVs, all kinds of models love to install a set of "sportswear" on their faces. As the largest family car market for young people, it has become the biggest "beneficiary" of sports style, and all kinds of cars have faded their tacky coats and put on the appearance language that conforms to the trend.
On March 31, SAIC Volkswagen officially announced the launch of the new Lingdu L, with a price range of 149,900 to 189,900 yuan. Compared with the previous model, the appearance of the new car incorporates a large number of emerging elements, and the painting style is also changed from a calm uncle to a neighbor sports boy in seconds. In contrast, the 2022 Honda Eleventh Generation Civic, the "top brand" in the sports car market, was listed in September last year, with a price range of 119,900 to 169,900. So, in terms of positioning, price, user groups and appearance of the two models that are quite conflicting, who can better meet the needs of today's young people? Today, let Uncle Che find out for everyone.
The most eye-catching of the two models is the original "sporty" appearance, which is also a must-have for Lingdu L and Civic to fight on the battlefield.
Among them, the new Lingdu L has changed the past grille front face and adjusted it to a closed front face with new energy flavor, with a newly adjusted oblique long split headlight and a luminous LOGO to create a strong sense of fashion and sports.
Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the lower smile-style closed under the encirclement, with the internal structure of the star glow, full of recognition.
Looking at the side, the new Lingdu L adopts a sneaky roof + tough double waist line body + short front and rear overhang design, forming a strong coupe flavor. The newly adjusted cyclone wheels can also further enhance the attributes of the vehicle sports car.
In terms of size, the new Lingdu L has a length, width and height of 4784/1831/1469 mm, a wheelbase of 2731mm, and a pure A+ class product, which can provide users with a comfortable space and provide a comfortable physical foundation for an excellent driving experience.
In terms of the tail, the new Lingdu L is also drastically adjusted. Its use of a penetrating light strip, a slightly cocked ducktail, and the use of chrome trim to create a displacement shape similar to a bilateral total of two, the original mediocre tail, has also become a highlight of the vehicle.
In contrast, the front face of the Civic is also an excellent product of the young age. The use of the grille to form a split headlight with a penetrating effect, a grille-type lower encirclement, a three-dimensional front shovel, and a large number of blackening elements, are full of lethality.
Sideways, compared to the elegant lines of the new Lingdu L. Honda Civic's side is relatively ordinary, although it also adopts a slipback roof, double waist line body and blackened rim design, but the visual effect is relatively average.
In terms of size, the Honda Civic has a length, width and height of 4674/1802/1415 mm and a wheelbase of 2735 mm. The size belongs to the mainstream level of the compact home car market, and the comfort experience is relatively poor.
In terms of tails, Honda Civic is worthy of the title of sports master, blackening matrix headlights, small spoilers, and bilateral exhaust gases, which look different.
After seeing the appearance of the two models, the uncle did not know which one to like for a while, because they both have a strong integration of the popular elements. However, after a comprehensive comparison, Uncle Che still recommends the new Lingdu L, which has a more versatile design and a greater advantage in size space.
Power is what Uncle Che thinks is the biggest difference. Among them, Volkswagen's new Lingdu L is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine with a maximum output of 110 kilowatts and a peak torque of 250 Nm, matching a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The WLTC has a combined fuel consumption of 5.92L/100 km/h and an acceleration time of 8.9 seconds per 100 km/h.
The power output performance is decent, the fuel economy is relatively average, and it is not dominant in the compact family car market. In addition, the new Lingdu L is not equipped with volkswagen's latest EA211 1.5T EVO engine previously predicted, and its 7-speed dry dual-clutch transmission also makes its power performance unsatisfactory.
In contrast, the 11th generation Civic is equipped with a high- and low-power version of the 1.5T turbocharged direct-injection engine. Among them, the low-power version has a maximum power of 95 kW, a peak torque of 180 Nm, and a combined fuel consumption of 5.5 (5.7)L/100 km by NEDC. The high-power version has a maximum power of 134 kW, a peak torque of 240 Nm, a combined NEDC fuel consumption of 5.8 (5.9) L/100 km, and a CVT gearbox as standard in the series.
Civic is worthy of the title of "Farah Domain", not only in terms of power output is one step ahead, but also in terms of fuel economy is also quite eye-catching. Therefore, for users with large power needs, Uncle Che recommends that you buy Civic.
Uncle Che summed up
Whether it is Lingdu L or Honda Civic, it is a rare high-quality model in the compact car market, and it is not a loss to buy any one. But if there are users with sports and speed needs, Uncle Che recommends buying the Honda Civic, and its surging power output package you are satisfied. If there are users who pursue comfort and appearance, Uncle Che recommends buying Lingdu L, and thinks it is a high-end brand without looking at the car logo.
