Today we will talk about two models. These two models can be said to be very popular models. One is SAIC Volkswagen’s new Lavida , and the other is the brand new Bora just launched by FAW-Volkswagen. . We chose two models with highly concentrated prices. The Lavida is the 2023 1.5L automatic Deyi version, with a manufacturer’s guide price of 120,900. The brand new Bora we chose is the 2022 200TSI DSG Changxing Edition, with a manufacturer’s guide price of 123,900 yuan. From a price point of view, the two models are almost the same. Does that mean there is no difference at all in other aspects? No, keep reading.
From the front of the car, the exquisiteness of the new Bora is quite obvious, and the upgrade changes are quite large. The through-type chrome strip connects the led headlights on both sides. The sports surround part adopts C-shaped chrome decoration, which has a good sense of detail.
Viewed from the side, the new Bora is equipped with a double waistline design. The through-type waistline is very visually attractive, and it is also equipped with multiple wheels, making it more dynamic.
The rear of the new car adopts a relatively obvious sports rear wing, and also has a through-type chrome trim strip. In terms of body data, the length, width and height of the new Bora are 4672/1815/1478mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2688mm.
As for the Volkswagen Lavida, it also looks pretty good. It is equipped with a chrome-plated air intake grille design, which is connected to the LED headlights on both sides.
Viewed from the side, the Volkswagen Lavida is equipped with a three-waistline design, and the visual tension is also good. As for the rear design, it is also equipped with an obvious sports rear wing and through-type chrome trim strips. I have to say that the appearance of the new Lavida and the new Bora are both ideal. In terms of body data, the length, width and height of the Volkswagen Lavida are 4678/1806/1474mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2688mm. The measurements of the two models are also highly similar.
Let’s look at the interior design comparison. In fact, the interior designs of the new Bora and the new Sagitar are relatively similar, but we can still distinguish who is better.
The interior of the new Bora adopts a symmetrical style. The central control part is equipped with an 8-inch floating touch screen, which supports mobile phone interconnection, car networking and 4G functions, and can also be operated through a remote APP. The driving computer screen is equipped with an 8-inch LCD screen, and the center console is also decorated with through-type chrome trim strips, which has a good appearance, while the steering wheel adopts a multi-functional leather design.
Next, let’s take a look at the interior design of the Volkswagen Lavida. The shape is similar to the new Bora. The central control part is also equipped with an 8-inch LCD screen. However, the Volkswagen Lavida's steering wheel uses a plastic steering wheel, which is obviously not as good as the new Bora in terms of feel and appearance.
In addition, compared to the new Bora, the Volkswagen Lavida lacks APP program control function, Internet of Vehicles and 4G functions. In terms of intelligence level, it is obvious that the Volkswagen Lavida is not as good as the new Bora.
I have to say that the upgrade of the new Bora is obvious. The interior of the car has a good sense of high-end and is also very comfortable. This is also one of the biggest advantages of the new Bora to conquer consumers.
As for the power system, the power system of the new Bora has entered the turbocharged era, so our model is equipped with a 1.2T turbocharged engine. This engine is the EA211 engine, with a maximum power of 116 horsepower and a peak torque. 200N·m. The transmission part is a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox, with a fuel consumption of only 5.7L per 100 kilometers, excellent fuel economy and strong power.
On the other hand, the new Lavida is equipped with a 1.5L natural engine. The engine's maximum torque is only 145N·m. The transmission part is a six-speed automatic manual gearbox. The acceleration is slow, the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is about 6L, and the fuel economy and power performance cannot keep up with the new Bora.
If we only measure it from the configuration, power system, and fuel consumption, I think the new Bora is better than the Volkswagen Lavida. Although both are from Volkswagen, it is obvious that the new Bora from FAW-Volkswagen has the advantage of product strength.
