As far as the car itself is concerned, of course, Skoda Ming Rui is better. Mainly the chassis is different from the suspension system. Simply put, LaVida is the 4th generation chassis of Volkswagen Jetta (Jetta 4th generation is called Bora in China), and Ming Rui is the 5th generation chassis of Volkswagen Jetta (Jetta 5th generation is called sagitar in China). But LaVida and Ming Rui have the same engine and gearbox.

Skoda Ming Rui is a Volkswagen sagitar with a new shell, which simplifies the configuration and materials. However, its technical level, maneuverability and detailed design are superior to the Volkswagen New LaVida designed by China Volkswagen itself.

Volkswagen LaVida is a model designed by China Volkswagen for the needs of families in China, adopting the technology and parts of German Volkswagen, and specially designed for users in China. The fourth generation golf chassis platform is lengthened and improved, and the torsion beam suspension system is adopted. The main advantages are large rear seat space, complete configuration and durable leather, and the whole system supports ESP body stability control. Stylish and steady. The disadvantage is that the chassis technology is relatively old and the handling is average. The materials are average and the details are average.

Skoda adopts Volkswagen Golf's sixth-generation chassis platform with independent rear wheel suspension system. Its frame strength, suspension system performance and driving maneuverability are better than Volkswagen LaVida. Moreover, Skoda Ming Rui is a hatchback design car, so the actual load capacity is better than ordinary cars such as LaVida. The main disadvantage is that the materials used are relatively general, the rear seat space is relatively small, and the ESP body stability control system is not directly configured. The appearance lacks internationalization and looks ugly and old-fashioned.

Moreover, although Volkswagen has adopted a dual-brand strategy in China. Audi brand was given to FAW-Volkswagen, and Skoda brand was assigned to Shanghai Volkswagen. However, it is said that the relationship between Volkswagen Skoda China and Shanghai Volkswagen is not harmonious, and Skoda has not found a suitable brand positioning in China. It also limits Skoda's development and brand building in China, which is far less successful than Audi's in China. Skoda is not well-known in China and its localization is not good enough. Shanghai Volkswagen, on the other hand, is very familiar with the needs of users in China and China, and has done a very good job in localization. Relying on excellent models such as Volkswagen Santana and Volkswagen Passat, it has already established brand awareness and reputation in the hearts of domestic users.
