Volkswagen's wide-body coupe is also "diving", with 1.4T priced at 100,900, which gives it both dignity and respect.

Lingdu claimed that it was a wide-body coupe when it was first launched, and it was the SAIC Volkswagen version of the "CC". However, judging from its price range of 149,900-186,900 yuan, it was not as popular as the CC. "It's nothing special." CC focuses on the price range above 200,000 yuan, while Lingdu focuses on the price range below 200,000 yuan. Therefore, it can be regarded as the coupe version of Lavida. Isn't that right?

CC is a B-class car, while Lingdu is an A-class car. It is a product of the same platform as Lavida, and the body size is roughly the same. Lingdu’s length, width and height are 4615*1826*1425mm respectively. The wheelbase is 2656mm. In order to meet its positioning as a wide-body coupe, it does not use Lavida's 1.5L and 1.2T engines, but is directly equipped with a 1.4T engine. Miraculously, SAIC Volkswagen actually adjusted this 1.4T engine It has been calibrated into a high-power and low-power version. Its maximum power is 131 horsepower and 150 horsepower respectively, and its maximum torque is 225 N·m and 250 N·m respectively. The transmission system is a 7DSG dual-clutch gearbox, which means that the 2021 Lingdu Manual transmission models have been abandoned, and all series are automatic transmission models.

In order to improve its competitiveness, SAIC Volkswagen has also made certain adjustments to its price range. The previous generation model was in the price range of 142,900-196,900 yuan, and the 2021 model is in the 149,900-186,900 yuan range. In the price range, the manual transmission model has been abandoned, the price has increased by 7,000 yuan, and the price of the top-end model has been reduced by 10,000 yuan. Overall, the competitiveness of the new Lingdu should be enhanced.

We also took the first opportunity to test drive the new car. Generally speaking, the power output of the new Lingdu is sufficient. Deeply pressing the accelerator has a certain pushing feeling, and the fuel consumption is not high. , we took a test drive and the average fuel consumption was 7.6L/100km. The rear space of the new car is not cramped, which is quite good for home use.

The next disadvantage is that the chassis and suspension of the new car are still as hard as ever, and the driving experience is not comfortable when passing speed bumps and uneven roads. Although the interior has a certain sense of quality, the design is a bit tired of aesthetics. It is similar to other Volkswagens and is bland. The sound insulation effect of the new car is also quite satisfactory, and it doesn't feel as good as the Lavida. In addition, the 10.2-inch LCD instrument panel is not standard on all series, but the entry threshold is not high. Except for the standard model, which is not provided, it is provided on the other two models. The central control screen of the standard model is 8 inches, and the other models are all 9.2 inches. The functions are also different. The standard model does not support GPS navigation system, voice recognition control and Internet of Vehicles, but the remaining two models do.

The space in the rear seats is quite spacious, but the bulge in the middle floor is too high. During the test drive, the salesperson also told us that now that new cars are on the market, the discounts are not big, and the old models are now discontinued and on sale, so choosing the older models is more cost-effective.

This is the discount for new and old models. The 2019 1.4T low-power model has a discount of 42,000-44,000 yuan. The actual price of the standard model has dropped to 100,900 yuan. The 2019 1.4 The T high-power version has a discount of 44,000 yuan, and the 2021 model has a discount of 32,000 to 34,000 yuan. If you think about it carefully, the 100,000 yuan Lingdu is equipped with a 1.4T engine, which gives you a lot of respect. So, are you satisfied with the extent of Lingdu's "diving"?
