Entering the second quarter of 2024, the midsize SUV market has gone completely crazy. The all-new Touron family has a model that stands out. And this time SAIC Volkswagen is indeed sincere enough, and the starting price of the Tourang series has dropped by 50,000 yuan. The Tourang X seems to have "only" dropped by 16,000, but the entry point is the 380TSI four-wheel drive Dragon version, and the actual drop is also about 50,000, which is really crazy.
Here the president focuses on the new Touron, which is very attractive in terms of price and configuration. This all-scene luxury 7-seater SUV is finally about to start flying into ordinary people's homes.
The 2024 Touron has a total of seven versions, in addition to the entry-level 330TSI two-wheel drive Dragon version with 2.0T medium power, there are also four 2.0T high-power versions and two 2.5T V6 versions, such a luxury power configuration is also unique in the current medium and large SUV market.
Which model of the all-new Touron is the best value for money? Let the president take you to take a look.
As a facelift, the overall design of the all-new Touron has not changed much, with the front end still having a classic rectangular grille with chrome trim trim inside. The headlights on both sides are connected to the grille, stretching the visual width of the entire front face just right, and it looks very atmospheric.
The headlights of the new car use a double-layer design, which is very recognizable. Combined with the three-section lower surrounding, the sense of movement is directly full.
As the parent company of the "lamp factory", Volkswagen's tail light design is also very distinctive. The taillights of the all-new Touron adopt the current popular through-type design, and the entire internal structure can be seen at a glance, and the sense of technology after lighting up is very good. Its foil relationship with the front lights is also obvious, and it also perfectly stretches the visual width.
As for the black trim wrap around the back, combined with the silver chrome trim, it also looks quite refined and dynamic.
The body size of this generation of Tourang is 5052*1989*1773mm, and the wheelbase is 2980mm, which is an absolute giant.
Unlike the general lack of headroom in new energy SUVs (the battery is too thick), the headroom in the front and rear rows of the Touron is more than two fists, and the legroom in the second row is even more convenient to lie down.
As for the third-row space that everyone is concerned about, adults of standard stature still have a fist and a half margin in their legs when they sit up, and the fly in the ointment is that the backrest height of the third-row seats is slightly shorter. But for an SUV in this class, the Touron is already considered a ceiling.
Speaking of the three power configurations of the Tourang, we are all familiar with the 330TSI and 380TSI versions of the third-generation EA888, and now the official names are low-carbon version and high-power version. Both versions are undoubtedly "inspection-free" versions, which are too classic.
The 330TSI version does a very good job of balancing fuel consumption and performance, and the comprehensive fuel consumption of such a large medium and large SUV has achieved 7.89L/100km, which is really good. The fly in the ointment is that the 0-100 km/h acceleration time is 9.9 seconds, which was not a problem before, and it is indeed a little thin in today's era. However, if it is purely for domestic use, it is also very surplus.
The 380TSI version has a maximum horsepower of 220 hp and a maximum torque of 350Nm. The time to complete the 0-100km/h acceleration is 8.4 seconds, and the comprehensive fuel consumption is 8.65L/100km.
As for the top-of-the-line 530 version, it is equipped with a 2.5L V6 engine, which can be said to be very rare in today's era, and it can only be said that Volkswagen is really a fan. The 0-100km/h acceleration time is 7.2 seconds, and the combined fuel consumption is 9.7L/100km.
This generation of Touron still uses a load-bearing body structure, combined with MacPherson front suspension and E-link rear suspension, which is also a very classic combination. It is worth mentioning that in addition to the entry-level model, this generation of the Touron is equipped with a dual-plate clutch differential lock and BorgWarner's timely four-wheel drive system, coupled with Volkswagen's tuning, so that the new car has excellent performance in terms of handling and comfort.
The new car also uses a single-layer stamping steel plate with a length of 1180mm as the front impact beam, and the energy-absorbing boxes on both sides are also equipped with complete punching and collapse sensing devices, and the rear impact beam is also "solid", with a length of 1370mm. Under the current general trend of "cost reduction", the Touron has maintained its pride as a flagship model, and the chassis of the new car has delivered a good report card in terms of safety performance and collision protection.
This generation of Tourang is based on Volkswagen's new MQB EVO digital intelligent architecture, with a 12-inch floating center control screen and a 10.25-inch LCD instrument, which has a very good technological texture.
In other words, I am accustomed to seeing all kinds of jump-out designs of new forces, and then look at the simple business style of Tourang, which has a different flavor. The interior of the new car gives the greatest impression that it is spacious and comfortable, and the seats are very wide and very supportive. The layout of the entire center console is very reasonable, not only easy to operate, but also absolutely praised in terms of materials and workmanship.
This generation of Tourang has also been upgraded in terms of intelligence, the functions of the MOS 3.2+ car machine system are more abundant, and the processing of the entire UI is also very beautiful and atmospheric. The new car not only supports dual-C interconnection, but also adds Huawei's Hicar, which makes it more convenient to use in the later stage.
In terms of intelligent driving, the all-new IQ. The Drive intelligent driving butler is equipped with a full-journey intelligent driving assistance system, and the emergency assistance system has also been upgraded to 3.0, which greatly improves the convenience and safety of using the car.
As we've already mentioned, the first two rows of space in the Touron are really out of perspective, and they're up to a good level in every way. Not only is there a luxurious space, but there is also a dedicated ergonomic chair that is indeed extremely comfortable.
The third row is also equipped with a comfortable two-seater sofa, no longer like a traditional seven-seater SUV, and the third row is only used for emergency use. The all-new Touron's three-row seats can sit long distances without feeling aggrieved.
The height of the trunk of the Touron is 820mm, and the width varies, but the narrowest part is also 1120mm, and if you fold down both rows of seats, it can reach a maximum trunk depth of 2300mm, which is completely suitable for bed.
Putting in bicycles, fishing gear, surfboards, etc. is not a problem at all, and for those who like to travel by car, the practicality is completely assured.
Analysis of differences in vehicle configurations
2024款 330TSI 两驱龙腾版:
Although there are many configurations of the all-new Tourang, if strictly divided, it is actually three power configurations, plus three versions: Longteng version, Longyao version, and Longxiang version. Among them, the entry-level 330TSI two-wheel drive Dragon version has attracted a lot of attention, after all, the price of 249,000 is really too scary, and the previous Tourang was based on the 300,000 level, but now it has become a benchmark SUV of the 250,000 level.
As we said earlier, the power configuration of 330TSI is actually sufficient, after all, the acceleration of 100 kilometers is also less than 10 seconds. And Volkswagen's engine 1000rpm turbo began to intervene, 1500rpm can reach the maximum torque, and continue until 4050rpm, basically the main medium and high speed range can maintain a strong performance output.
In terms of configuration, the entry is equipped with knee airbags and tire pressure display, and it is a 255/55 R19 wide tire, which is indeed generous enough compared to the narrow tires of the 225 in the large SUV of some new forces. Active braking, automatic parking, reversing image, adaptive cruise control are also equipped with these functions, which are quite sufficient for daily household use.
How so? At the price of 250,000, the 330TSI two-wheel drive Longteng version is actually very capable of playing.
2024款 380TSI 四驱龙耀版:
The Longyao version is a mid-range model, but the benchmark is actually the top configuration of many models. Compared with the basic Longteng version, the new car not only adds a series of intelligent driving functions such as 360-degree panoramic image, lane departure warning, lane keeping assist, lane merging assist, automatic parking, etc., but also is equipped with an electric induction trunk and matrix headlights.
Take the 380TSI four-wheel drive Longyao version and the 330TSI two-wheel drive Longteng version as an example, there is a price difference of 50,000 yuan between the two. Among them, the difference between the power upgrade and the four-wheel drive system is 30,000 yuan, and the difference in configuration is 20,000 yuan, which I personally think is still very worthwhile.
For a large-space SUV like the Tourang, even if you don't go off-road, it is inevitable to occasionally drive on dirt roads and mountain roads, and the advantages of four-wheel drive are more obvious.
Let's talk about more realistic, you can take a look at the price of second-hand cars, and the advantage of high power and four-wheel drive is still very large. Although it cost an extra 30,000 yuan to buy a car, it is worth selling at least 10,000 more yuan in the end, plus the enjoyment of the entire car cycle.
In terms of configuration, 360 panoramic image, automatic parking, these are artifacts, matrix headlights and induction trunk are also very practical, for a model of this level of Tourang, the difference of 20,000 yuan is really not big.
2024款 380TSI 四驱青峰龙耀版
Many people are very concerned about this Qingfeng Longyao version, compared with the ordinary Longyao version, the main change is that the wheel eyebrows, side skirts, exterior mirrors and wheels have been blackened, using R21 oversized tires, plus red brake calipers, it is indeed more beautiful, and the sense of sportiness is better.
The official statement is that it is more suitable for consumers with personalized pursuits, but the pursuit of individuality does come at a cost.
The Qingfeng version has no parallel assistance and reversing warning,360The image has also been downgraded to a reversing image,These are very practical configurations,The downgrade is still relatively obvious。 Personally, I think that if you are not particularly interested in this design, there is no need to choose the Qingfeng version in the early stage of the same price.
2024 530 V6 4WD Longxiang Edition:
To be honest, if there is no price limit, then it is actually very suitable to choose the 2.5T version. Not only is it more powerful, but it also performs better in terms of NVH. Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer six-cylinder engines, and even some million-level luxury cars such as Mercedes-Benz Big G have begun to change to four-cylinder. Buying a six-cylinder SUV with a large space at a price of more than 300,000 is actually very cost-effective.
But from another point of view, most of the users who buy the Touron are practical parties (otherwise they will buy BBA), and it seems that there is no need to convince everyone to hard 2.5T.
The biggest change in the top-of-the-line Longxiang version is the addition of some luxury configurations, such as the addition of a driving mode switching function, heated steering wheel and seat massage, as well as a head-up display and Harman Kardon audio. To be honest, the most tempting configuration here is the Harman Kardon audio, but the price difference is 30,000, which doesn't seem to be as strong as the upgrade perception of the Longyao version.
The most recommended model [2024 380TSI 4WD Longyao Edition: guide price 299,000]
For the Tourang, the 2024 380TSI 4WD Longyao Edition should be the most balanced choice. The price is less than 300,000, a large space of more than 5 meters, strong power, and a good configuration. Such a price would have been unimaginable a few years ago, but now it is a dream reality.
Of course, for practical parties who don't care so much about power and don't value four-wheel drive, the entry-level 330TSI two-wheel drive Longteng version is also a good choice; For those who have a very good budget and are looking for a six-cylinder, the 530 V6 4WD Longxiang Edition is definitely the most recommended.
