In the 150,000-class sports compact car market, the Civic, which is owned by Honda, can be said to be the best in its class. Whether it is brand recognition, or product strength, etc., there is a remarkable performance. And now, with the upcoming appearance of SAIC Volkswagen Lingdu L, there is no doubt that the pressure on the Honda Civic has doubled. The shape resembles the Audi A7, and many highlights such as the standard frameless door have also become the reason why SAIC Volkswagen Lingdu L has attracted much attention. So as another strong opponent of the Civic, how is the actual performance of SAIC Volkswagen Lingdu L? Let's take a look!
Friends familiar with the Volkswagen brand know that whether it is a low-end or high-end model, the appearance design has a feature, that is, the nesting doll design, but the new Lingdu L has given us enough surprises, if it is not to see the Volkswagen logo embedded in the middle net part, I believe most netizens are difficult to associate with the Volkswagen production. The front part of the face adopts a new design language, the front grille is placed in the enclosing part, and the interior is decorated with starry sky dots, which is very in line with the aesthetic vision of young consumers. The through-line light strip is connected by cross-cutting front and side headlights, creating a strong stylish and avant-garde atmosphere.
On the side of the body, the new Lingdu L also completely draws a clear line with the current model, whether it is the side design of the front low and the back high, or the elements such as slip-back lines and frameless doors, which have become the embodiment of their own sports and grade sense. The length, width and height are 4784*1831*1469mm, and the wheelbase is 2731mm, which is more slender and sporty with the blessing of this leapfrog size data.
Looking at the tail styling, it is also praised. The current popular through-type tail light combination is applied, and the front face of the same luminous public LOGO is not absent, with the lower part of the decorative effect of the chrome exhaust, especially after the night lighting, has a high degree of recognition, the word pull wind is definitely a true portrayal of itself.
Turning around and sitting in the car, the new Lingdu L also came with sincerity. In the past, the decent Volkswagen matryoshka interior no longer exists on it, replaced by a high-tech dual screen design, it is worth mentioning that the new Lingdu L is saicutical Volkswagen's first model with dual screen design, from this point of analysis alone, it can be well seen that the sincerity of the new Lingdu L. Not only that, but also provide the interior mood lights that young consumers like, coupled with a large area of soft materials wrapped in it, the overall texture is indeed commendable.
In terms of configuration, according to the official statement, in addition to the basic safety and practical configuration, the high-end version will also be equipped with HUD head-up display, automatic parking function, Beats audio and other technological comfort configurations, of which HUD head-up display, Beats audio for young consumers, or have a strong temptation. If it is officially listed, in the case of a more reasonable guidance price given by the manufacturer, the configuration of a more balanced and comprehensive high-end model is expected to become the main force of the volume.
As mentioned earlier, the new Lingdu L has the size data of the leapfrog level, in order to let everyone more intuitively feel the riding space performance of the new Lingdu L, the individual deliberately conducted a test ride. I am 175cm tall, after adjusting the front row suitable for driving position, sitting in the back row, leg space is nearly two fists, and the head space is also about four fingers away. Obviously, the new Lingdu did not blindly pursue the aesthetics of the model, and sacrificed the space that the family car should have. In addition, the new Lingdu L with hatchback tailgate has greater opening highlights, and storage space and practicality are also well guaranteed.
Finally, let's talk about power, the whole series is equipped with a 1.4T engine, the maximum power is 110kW, the maximum torque is 250N·m, and it is matched by a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. The suspension section, using the front McPherson independent suspension and the rear multi-link independent suspension, belongs to the mainstream level of the same level. Although there is no test drive yet, considering Volkswagen's consistently good power chassis tuning, I believe that the driving texture of the new Lingdu L will not disappoint us.
On the whole, through the above introduction and analysis, I believe that many young friends have been moved by the new Lingdu L. After all, in the sedan camp below 200,000, there are not many models that can have the appearance of the new Lingdu L, not to mention the unique killer skill of frameless doors. Personally, I feel that there is a golden sign of the public itself, and the new Lingdu is still from the MQB EVO platform, and the brand and product power are dominant, and it is only a matter of time before it becomes a strong opponent of the Civic. Of course, for the new Lingdu L, the most important thing to do at this stage is to control the quality and give consumers an easy price to lay a good foundation for future conquests in the market.
