SAIC Volkswagen confirmed that the new generation Tiguan + Passat will be launched this year
A few days ago, SAIC Volkswagen announced its 2024 product plan, in 2024 SAIC Volkswagen will usher in a number of blockbuster product updates, including two sales products Tiguan L and Passat will usher in a new generation, the overall product strength will usher in a significant jump.
Specifically, Tiguan L will be renamed Tiguan L Pro this year, the official said that the new car will retain the original German quality, which means that the appearance and interior styling design will most likely be transplanted to the German version of the model's configuration, the current German version of the Tiguan has been released, the new car adopts a more modest and stable design concept in the appearance, MQB evo platform to build, and provides two styles: ordinary version and R-Line, of which the R-Line version is more sporty in the surrounding, rims and other details.
In terms of interior, the interior of the new generation of Tiguan basically continues many of Volkswagen's design concepts on new energy vehicles, and it is still a classic T-shaped layout, but the size of the central control screen is significantly larger, and the suspension design is adopted, which can bring better visual effects and cockpit interaction experience, and there are almost no buttons under the middle part of the T-shape, and the integration has been further improved and more concise.
According to the official introduction of SAIC Volkswagen, Tiguan L Pro will usher in a huge upgrade in intelligent experience after domestic production in the future, on the one hand, the experience of intelligent cockpit, we believe that it should be basically the same as the interactive experience and function on the ID.7 that FAW-Volkswagen has listed, which is a relatively good level in the field of traditional joint venture brands.
In terms of intelligent driving, Tiguan L Pro will be equipped with L2+ level driving assistance system, which is more suitable for Chinese road conditions, we predict that functions including automatic lane change with lights and wide speed range AEB will be equipped, although it still looks like L2, but considering the modesty of the joint venture brand in this area and the attitude of the person in charge, the actual functional experience should be relatively easy to use, and it is very possible to be stronger than many new power brand models.
In terms of power, Volkswagen's new generation of 1.5T engines has been installed in batches, Tiguan L Pro entry equipped with 1.5T has not run, but the 2.0T engine mounted on the high-end model can continue to be upgraded is not very clear, at present, Volkswagen in the domestic market hybrid technology, almost belongs to the bottom level of neither quantity nor industry recognition, for many years it has relied on small displacement turbocharged engines to support the market, in the current electrification transformation is more at a loss, looking forward to this year SAIC Volkswagen can make up some new technologies into the product.
Compared with the Tiguan L Pro, where most of the information has been confirmed, the overall mystery of the new generation of Passat is more, because in the German local market, there is no sedan after the Passat is replaced, and only the touring version is left on sale, in other words, the new generation of Passat B9 will be the first sedan model to be launched, but it is more difficult to say whether the German flavor is strong, after all, there is no hometown.
Referring to the German version of the Passat Touring Edition, its exterior design is more modern, but compared with the previous generation of models, it lacks some calm and atmospheric feeling, and the interior is also highly consistent with the design concept of the ID. series of new energy vehicles, advancing with the times, but also slightly lacking in novelty. However, compared to the Tiguan, the appearance of the new generation of domestic Passat has not yet been announced, so there may be surprises waiting for everyone at the rear.
Write at the end:
From the perspective of new products, although there are not many new models of SAIC Volkswagen in 2024, the heavyweight is one top one, the two products are highly positioned, the market value is the largest, and the sales volume has long dominated the top of the list.
