And the keen sense of smell of volkswagen does not seem to want to lose the opportunity to occupy the market, the new arteon SR is the brand to the Chinese hunting car market to launch a fist product, if the title of "the most beautiful Volkswagen" is awarded to it, I think no one will refute. So today, we will have a comprehensive experience of this car and see what other highlights it has in addition to its appearance.
1, from the original taste of Germany, "the most beautiful public" is none other than it
If the domestic Volkswagen CC hunting car does not make you look good, then this original Volkswagen Arteon SR can definitely make you satisfied. Without the black wheel eyebrows and silver luggage rack, replaced by the appearance kit of the overseas version of the model with a very sporty atmosphere, the appearance value has directly improved several grades.
The headlights group uses a full LED light source, and the LED running lights extend from the sides to the Volkswagen LOGO in the middle, which is the most visual effect at night, and can also increase the visual width of the front face.
The grille features a banner design, narrow chrome trims that blend in with the light cluster, and the R-Line kit's exclusive logo on the left side of the grille, which is enough to prove its distinctive identity.
The front surrounds the two sides with a shape similar to fangs, which has a strong visual impact, and the details are also decorated with black trim panels and chrome trims, which highlights the sense of refinement.
The side lines of the Volkswagen Arteon SR are very slender, with a waist line extending from the front fender to the top of the taillights, and a close look can see the layered design. After the B-pillar, it is the biggest highlight of the appearance of the Spiting Brake model, and the slightly downward roof creates a sneaky visual effect. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new car are 4866*1871*1447mm, and the wheelbase is 2840mm.
The experience model is equipped with 19-inch multi-spoke two-color wheels, the rim shape is more sporty, and the size is also very compatible with the body. In addition, the new car is equipped with Pirelli P ZERO tires with a specification of 245/40 R19.
The exterior mirror adopts a two-color design and integrates functions such as electric adjustment, electric folding, memory, heating, and automatic anti-glare, and the configuration performance is excellent.
The design of the tail is full and has a rich sense of layering, the slightly upturned ducktail is the sports gene inherited from the Arteon family, and the model name is placed directly below the brand LOGO like most of Volkswagen's current models.
The tail light group continues the design of the sedan version, and the narrow light group adopts a complex structure inside, which has a good visual effect after lighting. It should be noted that the Volkswagen Arteon SR still uses a hidden exhaust, and the chrome plating on both sides of the rear surround is actually decorative.
2. The sports atmosphere extends to the car, and the family design is full of intimacy
Coming to the car, the interior of the Volkswagen Arteon SR looks at first glance or the Volkswagen style we are familiar with, the T-shaped center console can not bring us too much freshness now, but thankfully, this car still maintains Volkswagen's consistent high standards and strict requirements in terms of materials and workmanship, a large number of soft materials wrapped to ensure that every area you come into contact with is comfortable, the seams in the details are also symmetrical enough, and there is no abnormal sound after pressing.
The multi-function steering wheel adopts a three-spoke design, and the silver chrome trim strip and R logo are added to the refined sense of refinement. In addition, the three-nine-point area of the steering wheel is also equipped with a punching process, which makes the grip even better.
The full LCD dashboard size is 10.3 inches, the display effect is delicate and the interface can also be controlled by the VIEW button on the steering wheel, and the driving data is relatively easy to read, which is indeed very "public".
The size of the central control screen is 9.2 inches, there is no suspension design, and the size is not advantageous now, but fortunately, the use of the system is very convenient, and the built-in functions are rich enough, in addition to the conventional navigation, Bluetooth function, the system also supports CarPlay/CarLife, voice recognition control and car networking functions.
Below the screen is an air conditioning control panel based on touch operation, and the blessing of the piano paint process makes it look very textured, but the disadvantage is that it is easy to leave fingerprints.
The 12-speaker Haeman/Kardon Harman Kardon sound system is standard on the car and the sound quality is good enough.
3. The leather sports seat has excellent wrapping and satisfactory space performance
The one-piece sports seat equipped with the Volkswagen Arteon SR is not only stylish enough to fight, but also excellent for the wrapping of the body. In terms of functionality, the main passenger seat is equipped with multi-directional electric adjustment and heating, while the main driver's seat also provides memory and massage functions.
The material and material of the rear seats are basically the same as the front row, the length of the seat cushion is moderate, and the support for the thighs is relatively in place, compared with the rear seat backrest, which is decent, the angle is straight and the support on both sides is slightly insufficient.
In terms of seating space, the 180cm tall experiencer can obtain a head space of about four fingers after adjusting the driving sitting posture in the front row; then the front seat position remains unchanged, and the experiencer comes to the back row, at this time, the head margin is also about four fingers, and the legroom exceeds two fists, which is a good performance in the field of medium-sized cars.
As a Shooting Brake hunting car, its trunk space has enough guarantees, the volume in the conventional state has reached 590L, and the internal space is relatively regular, to meet the daily use is not a problem; and when you need to place some large luggage items, the rear seat also supports 4/6 ratio recline, all down if the trunk volume can be expanded to 1632L.
4, the use of 2.0T + 7 speed DSG, power and driving experience exceeded expectations
Before talking about the dynamic performance of this car, let's first look at its power parameter information. The Volkswagen Arteon SR is powered by a 2.0T four-cylinder turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 190 hp and a peak torque of 320 N·m, which is matched by a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission.
In terms of chassis, the car adopts a combination of front McPherson independent suspension + rear multi-link independent suspension, which is also a more common configuration in the same class. In addition, the car is equipped with an XDS electronic differential.
In the actual driving experience, we can feel that this 2.0T engine with a maximum power of 190 horsepower does not have much of a bright spot in terms of parameters, but it is more than enough to cope with urban road commuting, and the starting acceleration is relatively light, especially in the case of high speed and rapid acceleration, it can still bring a certain sense of pushback.
Volkswagen's combination of a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission and a 2.0T engine has been honed on the market for many years, and the two are also quite tacitly matched. The gear shift in the low-speed state is well suppressed, and when you need to accelerate sharply, the gearbox can also quickly complete the downshift, and the whole set of actions is as silky as the clouds.
In terms of steering feel, the new car still maintains a light style adjustment, which will be more friendly for female users with less strength. In addition, the steering wheel has good directivity, there is no obvious vacancy, and the strength of the steering wheel will change in different driving modes.
The Volkswagen Arteon SR's chassis is somewhere between sport and comfort, and this more neutral tuning is ideal for everyday driving, with suspension providing relatively comfortable rebound and filtering when encountering some bad roads, and suspension providing good support when quickly passing through ramps and sharp turns.
Summary: Through this comprehensive experience of volkswagen Arteon SR, we have seen the real product power of this model that takes into account both appearance and practicality. It can be seen that Volkswagen hopes to gradually occupy the young consumer market through this personalized product, and the demands of young consumers for such models are also very simple, and it is basically enough to meet the three points of high appearance, sufficient configuration and sufficient power. At present, the market guidance price of this car has also been announced, and the small partners who hold the coin and wait and see are not quick to experience it in person?
