Volkswagen can be said to be one of the car companies that understand the needs of Chinese consumers best, such as today's protagonist FAW-Volkswagen Lanjing 530TSI four-wheel drive flagship Shengjing Edition Pro (hereinafter referred to as Lanjing). The first impression of this car is that it is big, and it is indeed true from the data point of view. It is the largest SUV under the brand made by Volkswagen on the MQB platform, and the length and height of the body have exceeded that of the BMW X5.
A brief review of the exterior/interior of the FAW-Volkswagen-Lanjing |
The model we test-drive today is a version equipped with a 2.5T VR6 turbocharged engine, and the official guidance price is 399,900 yuan. Aside from the difference in power from the 2.0T model, it's hard to find other differences in appearance.
The front face of this panning still looks more elegant, not as fierce as Tu Ang. The top model has IQ.LIGHT full LED matrix headlights, which are quite rich in functions, and it can adjust the dynamic lighting effect according to different road conditions.
In terms of body size, the positioning of medium and large SUV is 5152/2002/1792mm, and the wheelbase has reached 2980mm, which is a veritable big guy. The rear of the car is visually quite full, and the through-type tail light group and the car logo can be lit, and the recognition is still very high. The 530 V6 logo in the lower right corner also further indicates the identity of its 6 cylinder.
The wrap-around center console design is one of the highlights of the range model, and it is biased towards the driver's side to enhance certain convenience. The combination of paint, chrome plating and leather stitching gives the overall effect a certain sense of grade.
From UI design to operation logic, the 10.25-inch full LCD meter is a strong popular family style, and the technical atmosphere and clarity have excellent performance. In addition, depending on the driving mode, the color of the theme will change accordingly.
12-inch central control screen built-in CNS 3.0 system, the overall fluency is more general, occasionally there will be a caton phenomenon, and do not follow, but the display effect and operation logic is still very clear, many functions also use the image style, but some commonly used functions of the display and operation of the process is too cumbersome.
FAW-Volkswagen the large displacement of the | is still king
Conventional data engine: 2.5T 6-cylinder maximum power: 299 hp peak torque: 500 Nm drivetrain: 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission
The 2.5T turbocharged engine has a maximum power of 299 hp and a peak torque of 500 Nm. This engine combines the inline 6-cylinder and the V-6 cylinder very well, and its length is reduced compared to the traditional inline 6-cylinder engine, while the V-six-cylinder engine is further reduced in width, more compact structure, and lighter weight.
Mated to the 2.5T engine is the DQ501 wet dual-clutch transmission, which can withstand torques of up to 600 Nm. In addition, the gearbox uses the latest controller and dual pump system to increase gear change speed and reduce bearing friction. It is worth mentioning that this car is also equipped with BorgWarner-Henderson's 6th generation four-wheel drive system, the central differential is multi-disc clutch type, and 100% rear-wheel drive can be achieved under extreme operating conditions.
In this day and age, a model with 6 cylinders is definitely a large displacement, so I am still looking forward to the driving experience of this car. In the initial stage, this 2.5T engine performed unhurriedly, and still showed a softer side in the low-torque state, and did not have the sense of irritability imagined. However, the initial adjustment of the throttle pedal actually does not have the feeling of calmness of the large-displacement model, but it belongs to the more sensitive type, and you need to use more delicate footwork to ensure smoothness.
After the turbine is pressurized, the acceleration of the entire middle section can be described as rough, and the push back is called, but the sound of the engine is still slightly thin, and some sense of premium is missing. This 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission is quite tacit with the engine calibration, one foot throttle to the end, can be directly reduced from 7 gears to 3 gears, crisp and clean, after completing the overtaking action, immediately increase the gear to ensure better fuel economy. But this gearbox is not perfect, and there will be occasional breaks when following the car at low speeds.
In terms of chassis, this machine is better at absorbing long-wave vibrations, and the suspension is not ideal for the filtration of fine bumps on the road surface, and you can clearly feel the vibration in the car. However, for large bumps, the shock absorber can be quickly dissolved, and the body will not have excess undulations and shakes. In general, the chassis of this landscape is full of morals, very tight and tenacious, but it is still lacking in the creation of a high-class atmosphere.
This sweeping steering feel is very light, through the city, such a tuning will make you feel that the vehicle is very flexible, the front of the car response speed is relatively fast, in the turn and lane change will not let you feel too much bulky feeling, but for such a car length of more than 5 meters, the width of more than 2 meters of medium and large SUVs, directionality what not to expect too much. The performance of NVH is still good, and normal AC can be performed at a speed of 120km/h. This time, we have replaced the snow tire with the test driving model, and if we change back to the road tire, I believe that the tire noise will further explore.
FAW-Volkswagen | written at the end
The Volkswagen Lanjing 530TSI four-wheel drive flagship Pro version we test drove today is the top model of the whole series, and the price is also 399,900 yuan. Of course, this car will certainly not be the most expensive model in the product sequence, but more for consumers who have a 6-cylinder plot and a higher demand for power. If you were to switch to it, would you choose this top matching environment? Please leave me a message in the comment area!
