In the domestic automobile market, there are many models that have been crowned with the title of "god car", how can it become a "god car"? First of all, there must be super high sales support, and secondly, there must be perennial championship winning strength. Under the banner of Volkswagen, there are many people who can be named "God Car", such as Santana, Golf, Langyi, Passat, etc., and today's protagonist is Langyi.
Strictly speaking, Langyi does not have a long history precipitation, the first model was only listed in 2008, as a special supply car of SAIC Volkswagen in China, Langyi is more of a successor behind Santana. However, in terms of sales, Langyi can indeed be called "God Car", since its listing in 2008, the cumulative sales volume has already exceeded 5 million vehicles, which is the best-selling model of SAIC Volkswagen and the veritable sales king of the car market.
From the perspective of the market, Langyi's biggest opponent is Nissan Xuanyi. However, since the listing of the fourteenth generation Xuanyi, Nissan has gradually pulled Langyi off the altar through the strategy of new and old sales, so that Langyi has lost the annual sales crown of the car market for two consecutive years. Langyi, who once personally beat Xuanyi into the "millennium old two", is now obviously incompetent, and for SAIC Volkswagen, Langyi's redesign is imminent.
Some time ago, SAIC Volkswagen officially released the official map of the new Langyi, we can also call it a mid-term redesign of Langyi, as a mid-term redesign model, the new Langyi in the design is comparable to the replacement. From the official picture, it can be found that the new Langyi highly "bumps the face" passat in the design, and if you only look at the front face, you can't tell who is the new Passat and the new Langyi.
It is worth mentioning that the new Langyi, like the mid-term redesign Passat, also adopts a double-sided shape and increases the choice of starry sky version models to meet the diversified needs of different consumers. From the official picture, it can be found that the appearance of the Starry Sky Edition makes Langyi look more youthful and sporty, and the front bumper shape and blackened rearview mirrors are one of its characteristics. It should be noted that in order to highlight the sense of difference, the Starry Sky Edition Langyi is equipped with a black tail wing, with sports black rearview mirrors, high black light texture roof and so on.
The ordinary version of the model has also undergone no small changes, the multi-banner grille has become more refined, showing a stronger texture, and its shape is also highly consistent with the Passat. Although we have been complaining about the public's "nesting doll face", but in terms of appearance, the Langyi after the mid-term redesign is still quite attractive, but the Passat owner will have some difficulties in his heart after watching it.
In addition to the exterior design, the new Langyi has also made a new breakthrough in interior design, the most conspicuous thing is to abandon the volkswagen model's consistent embedded central control large screen, replaced by a floating large screen design, which even the mid-term redesign of passat has not changed. The suspension of the central control large screen design also makes the new Langyi interior present a stronger sense of grade, as for other aspects of the design continues the public's consistent style.
Finally, in terms of power, the current Langyi has two choices of 1.5L and 1.4T, and the new Langyi will also add the choice of 1.2T models, whose performance parameters are comparable to those of the 1.5L model, and the maximum power is 85kW (the maximum power of the current 1.5L model is 83kW), the difference is that the 1.2T model will match the 7DCT gearbox, which is completely sufficient for A-class family cars.
Only from the perspective of power, the author personally believes that it is still a pity, after all, the latest 1.5T engine has not been loaded on the new Langyi, and Volkswagen's plan is to fully replace the current 1.4T engine with the latest 1.5T engine in the future. If the mid-term redesign of Langyi fails to install a 1.5T engine, it can only wait for the replacement to be loaded, and there is still a long time to go before the replacement.
Write at the end:
On the whole, the changes of the new Langyi are mainly focused on the design, of which the biggest change in appearance, its double-sided shape may also be affected by the Xuanyi double-car strategy. According to the plan, the new Langyi will also be officially listed at the Beijing Auto Show in April. As for the specific price, it is expected to be not much different from the current model, but there is no such generous price reduction discount as the current model. Do you think that the new Langyi can achieve the return of the king in the confrontation with Xuanyi?
