Joint venture compact family car has always been one of the most popular models in China. They not only have reliable mechanical quality, but also have a strong advantage in word of mouth. Compared with independent models, this joint venture model seems to have more face. Three models of Volkswagen brand are the most representative models. They are Volkswagen LaVida, Sagitar and Bora.

Then when it comes to the purchase level, it is precisely because these three models are close enough and the price difference is not big, which leads many consumers not to know how to choose. So, today we will compare them from many angles and see how these three students should choose.

Appearance contrast

Volkswagen LaVida adopts two design styles in appearance for users to choose from. Among them, the star version adopts a vibrant star appearance kit as a whole, and the front face adopts a through air intake grille design. The middle net is similar to a star, the black logo stands in the middle, the headlights on both sides are sharp, the internal C-type light source is clearly visible, and the lower diversion port is connected with the air inlet, which increases the visual sense of the whole vehicle. The front face of the general version is similar to that of the previous generation. The front face is still decorated with more chrome-plated elements, and the shape of the lamp group has also been fine-tuned, which looks calm and atmospheric in appearance.

The side of the car body has not changed much compared with before, and the shape is still smooth, forming a faint small slip back shape at the C-pillar position. The high waistline extending from the tail of the headlight runs through the upper edge of the taillight, and the silver chrome-plated bright strip is wrapped around the edge of the window, which is exquisite. Compared with some mainstream compact cars, the body size is still a bit backward, and the wheelbase of 2688mm is also slightly inferior. Fortunately, the impact on the interior space of the car is not too great. The dimensions of the whole vehicle are: 4678mm, 1806mm and 65438+ respectively.

The tail is full in shape, the taillights on both sides are symmetrically designed, and the size is relatively large. The interior is decorated with black elements, giving people a good visual sense of night lighting, and the lower part is equipped with a hidden exhaust layout. In addition, the edge of the star version tailgate has also added a black fitted spoiler, and the actual effect is better than nothing. The taillight is simple in shape, the surface of the lampshade is blackened, and the internal light strip is well recognized after lighting.

Sagitar's front face modeling is still a familiar popular family language. Lattice mesh air intake grille with strong three-dimensional brand logo is more like a B-class car. The interior of the lamp groups on both sides is matrix, with horizontal air inlet at the bottom and transparent black decoration. The whole front face is layered and integrated.

The side shape is fashionable and the waist line runs through the door handle. There is nothing surprising about the design of the side of the car body. The waistline running through the car body is straight and tough. With the brand-new 18-inch five-spoke wheel hub, the sense of movement still has a good performance. The key is that this specification is rare at the same level. The vehicle size is 479118011465 mm, and the wheelbase is 273 1mm, so it is a compact car.

Sagitar's tail taillights are larger in size, echoing the headlights. The duckling's tail is a bright spot, which adds a little vitality to the stable tail. If you want to change it, you have to look at the internal structure of the taillights. The lower enclosure is decorated with through chrome trim, and the exhaust is hidden. Generally speaking, it is still the consistent style of the public and has a high degree of recognition.

In terms of appearance, Bora, like sagitar, mainly adjusted and optimized the details of the car body to a certain extent, adding a sense of fashion. The air intake grille decorated with chrome-plated front banner looks very advanced, and the headlights of LED light sources on both sides and the chrome-plated C-shaped decoration below give people a stable and atmospheric visual experience.

The side of the car body has not changed much, and the sharp outline of the waistline enhances the sense of strength to a certain extent, especially the two-stage high waistline with strong technical sense above the door. The through waistline design is more prominent, which lengthens the visual length to a certain extent and is more in line with the aesthetic preferences of young consumers. The body size is at the general level of the current joint venture compact car. The body size of Volkswagen Bora is 4672/1815/1478 mm and the wheelbase is 2688 mm ..

The rear part has also been adjusted to a certain extent. The lines above the back trunk are full and slightly inclined, which creates a visual sense for the duckling's tail. The style of the rear bumper has also been adjusted to a certain extent, which looks exquisite.

Internal contrast

In terms of interior, Volkswagen LaVida has adopted the popular suspension design. The center console is still in a horizontal layout, which makes the front cockpit look more spacious. The three-spoke multi-function steering wheel is a popular family style at this stage. Three-dimensional modeling of steering wheel, supporting up and down+front and rear adjustment function. At the same time, it is equipped with 10.25 inch full LCD instrument panel and 12 inch central control panel, built-in GPS navigation system, navigation road information display, Bluetooth/car phone, mobile phone interconnection mapping, car networking, and so on.

In order to cater to the sporty appearance, LaVida added red decorative strips at the air outlet of the air conditioner, and the multi-function steering wheel was replaced with the latest style, which greatly improved the visual effect. In terms of configuration, the whole system comes standard with a full LCD instrument panel and an 8-inch multimedia screen (the high version is 12 inch). In-vehicle system supports the interconnection of Apple CarPlay and Baidu CarLife mobile phones, and supports wireless connection.

As for the interior, Sagitar has adopted Volkswagen's latest design style, with a floating central control panel reaching 65,438+02 inches and a built-in MOS 4.0 vehicle-mounted system, so the UI interface, functional application and fluency will have a good performance, and the multi-function steering wheel is Volkswagen's latest family style, with a slightly improved sense of fashion. With the rear 65,438+00.25-inch full LCD instrument, it is more outstanding than Japanese competitors at the same level in technology. The air conditioning control area retains some physical buttons, and the three-position multi-function steering wheel is fashionable. Compared with domestic cars at the same price, the whole interior needs to be improved. In terms of space, sagitar's back row space is more spacious than Bora and LaVida, which is more suitable for home use.

When we got to the car, Bora's interior design style was similar to sagitar's. It adopts an embracing cockpit design, and the central control area is still slightly biased towards the driver's side. Compared with the embedded central control panel adopted by Bora, the new Bora suspended LCD screen and full LCD instrument panel seem to have a more scientific sense. Specifically, it is equipped with a 10.25 inch floating touch screen, which is smoother to use, while the dashboard is 10.

Dynamic contrast

At present, Volkswagen LaVida offers three engines: 1.5L naturally aspirated, 1.2T and 1.4T turbocharged.

The maximum power of 1.5L engine is 83kW( 1 13Ps), the maximum power of 1.2T engine is 85kW( 1 16Ps), and the maximum torque is 200 n m.

Volkswagen sagitar is basically the same as LaVida in power, except that there is no engine model of 1.5L, and an engine of 1.5T is added. Maximum power 1 18 kW and maximum torque of 250 Nm. In addition to the entry-level models, it is matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox. 1.4T version and 1.5T version are full of power, and the power difference between the two engines is only 8kW, but the 1.5T engine is new and its stability needs to be verified. However, Volkswagen brand 1.4T engine has been used for many years, and its stability is very good, so 1.4T version is more recommended.

Bora also uses several powertrains of Volkswagen family to provide1.2t/1.4t/1.5l and 1.5T turbocharged engines. Please refer to lavida and sagitar for specific parameters.

On the whole, these three brothers have good cost performance, among which LaVida has obvious upgrade and optimization in appearance, and provides two front face options to meet the aesthetics of consumers in different young market segments. Volkswagen sagitar is located between compact cars and medium-sized cars, which is more suitable for home use in space, and its stability for so many years is also trustworthy.

The handling of the vehicle is still very good, coupled with the excellent performance of the space, it is perfect as a family car. Generally speaking, if you like young sports, then the LaVida Star Edition is more suitable for you. If you need big space, sagitar is very suitable for you. Although Bora does not have outstanding advantages like the above two, it also has no obvious shortcomings.
