If you open the sales list, you will find that most of the top sales are more balanced models in the same class. Today, Cafe will introduce you to a car with good sales and relatively balanced product strength. SAIC Volkswagen LaVida. A few days after the LOGO, SAIC Volkswagen officially launched 202 1 LaVida (hereinafter referred to as "New LaVida"), and * * * launched seven models with the price range of11.29-158900 yuan. As an annual modified model, the new car has little change in appearance and interior design compared with the old one, and the biggest change is the replacement. So what has changed in this new car? Is it worth buying? Next, Brother Coffee will have a good talk with you.
As an annual redesigned model, the new car has not been greatly adjusted in the interior design, but has been replaced with the latest Volkswagen LOGO logo, and at the same time, it has been improved in terms of technology configuration. First of all, from the appearance point of view, the biggest change is the replacement of Volkswagen's brand-new flat LOGO logo and the standard LED light source headlight group.

The new LaVida still follows the design of the old models. The front face is decorated with a large-size air intake grille decorated with wide chrome trim strips, and flat LED headlights are connected with it, making the design of the whole front face look fashionable now. After putting on a brand-new LOGO, it also makes the front face keep up with the trend of the times.
There is basically no change in the side of the car body, and the straight through waistline lengthens the horizontal visual effect, making the whole car look slender. The new LaVida is still based on the Volkswagen MQB modular platform, and the size continues the old model, with the length, width and height of 4670/ 1806/ 1474mm and the wheelbase of 2688mm respectively.
The biggest change at the rear of the car is the replacement of a brand-new LOGO logo, which echoes the front face shape. The whole rear design is relatively simple. The taillight group uses the same LED light source as the headlights, and the nameplate in the lower right corner of the rear is still "LaVida". The chrome-plated exhaust holes on both sides of the bottom are reserved, and the shape is symmetrical.
The interior styling also continues the design of the old models. The center console is slightly biased towards the driver's side, and the materials used are still improved compared with the previous generation models. The package of soft materials and the decoration of piano paint enhance the interior texture. Similarly, the brand Logo in the middle of the new LaVida multi-function steering wheel has also been replaced with the latest style.
The new car comes standard with an 8-inch central control large screen, and the high-profile model is upgraded to a touch air conditioning panel. The charging configuration port in the back row is also changed from two USB interfaces to a Type-C and a USB interface.
In terms of other configurations, the new LaVida will be equipped with main/passenger seat airbags, tire pressure monitoring, uphill assistance, automatic parking, rear parking radar, rear air conditioning air outlet, central control large screen supporting Carlife/Carplay interconnection function, SAIC Volkswagen Super App, intelligent car coupling system and other configurations as standard.
The top version is also equipped with ACC adaptive cruise system with start-stop function, active braking, reversing image, keyless entry, one-button start, leather steering wheel, 17 inch rim, induction wiper, front seat heating, dual-zone automatic air conditioning and other configurations.
The leather/fabric hybrid seat has excellent comfort performance and moderate hardness of seat filler. Thanks to the MQB platform and the wheelbase of 2688mm, the new car is relatively rich in space performance, which can basically meet the needs of most domestic family cars.
The rear seat is as well wrapped as the front seat, and the cushion is obviously lengthened, which has a better supporting effect on the thigh when riding, but the protrusion of the rear center floor is still relatively high, and the backrest in the middle position is relatively hard. When the back seat is full of three people, it is difficult for the middle passenger to get a comfortable sitting position. In addition, it is a pity that the whole department is not equipped with a rear central armrest.
Storage space in trunk is 5 10L. If the rear seats are completely reclined, the space can be further expanded. In terms of vehicle space, LaVida's performance is quite good.
As far as the whole interior is concerned, although the impression of the new LaVida has improved to a certain extent compared with the previous generation, there has been no progress in the actual materials, and most parts are still made of hard plastic, which still lacks luxury texture.
In terms of power, the new LaVida continues the power combination of the old models, equipped with 1.4T and 1.5L engines, with the maximum power of110kw (150ps) and 83kw (1/kl) respectively.
As a modified model, the overall change of the new LaVida is not too big. The biggest highlight is the adoption of a brand-new Volkswagen LOGO, which improves the exquisiteness of the whole vehicle. At the same time, the price is consistent with the old model, realizing the upgrade policy of "increasing the price without increasing the price", further improving the cost performance of the whole vehicle. In particular, the low-profile models that everyone spit out before abandoned the original mobile phone bracket and came standard with an 8-inch central control screen, which is bound to enhance the goodwill of some consumers.
Finally, LaVida, as a mass-produced car owned by SAIC Volkswagen, is getting closer and closer to its big brother Passat in design, and the fashion sense of the whole car is still quite sufficient, which also well meets the demand of domestic consumers for "high sense" and has a good preferential margin in combination with the current market channels. If it's just for home use, Cafe thinks it's a good choice. However, among many domestic models, the competition in the family car market is also the fiercest, and the huge quantity and demand are the most direct embodiment. The new LaVida also faces the competition from Sylphy, Corolla, Bora, Yinglang, Civic and other hot-selling models!
