According to the official statement, the English name TAVENDOR comes from the Spanish word "fire (esplendor)" and the Greek word "bull (tavros)" - look, it's really hard to name a new car now. It’s not easy, not only does it have the Chinese five elements and zodiac elements, but you also have to understand niche foreign languages such as , Latin, and Greek.
As the final product of FAW-Volkswagen's SUV strategy, the release of Lanxun completes the last piece of FAW-Volkswagen's SUV layout. Since then, FAW-Volkswagen's SUV products have gone from small to compact, from medium to high-end to mid-range. Full coverage of the large 5-seater to large 7-seater SUV market segments.
During the live broadcast, many netizens equated the Lanxun with the FAW-Volkswagen Lanjing, identifying it as a reskinned version of the Lanjing - in fact, when it comes to reskinning, the Lanjing can only be said to be the SAIC Volkswagen Touron. Within FAW-Volkswagen's own system, it is meaningless to reskin the Lanjing.
In this case, what is the significance of patrol release?
To explain this problem, we have to start with Lanjing. Lanjing is facing consumers who have a need for 6 or 7 seats, but in their hearts they reject MPVs. In fact, among the 6/7-seater SUVs tested in Bogo, only the Lanjing/ Touron The third-row seats offer real comfort-riding value.
In terms of driving experience, the Lanjing/Touron is actually an MPV in the guise of an SUV.
But for those consumers who are interested in the large space of the Lanjing but have no need for a third row of seats, the third row of seats in the Lanjing actually takes up a lot of luggage compartment space.
Therefore, in response to the needs of this group of consumers, FAW-Volkswagen launched the Patrol.
However, Lanxun is by no means as simple as emasculating the third row of seats on the basis of Lanzhou. The body size of Lanxu reaches 4949×2015×1772mm, while the body size of Lanjing is 5152×2002×1795mm. The wheelbase of both cars is 2980 mm. Through comparison, it is not difficult to find that the Lanxun is shorter and lower, but the body is wider, so in terms of handling and second-row ride comfort, the Xunxun theoretically has advantages.
Moreover, the 2.0T engine equipped with Lanxun adopts a mixed injection design, which is undoubtedly more advanced than the direct injection 2.0T engine of Lanxun. When Lanjing is upgraded in the future, it may be equipped with the same engine as Lanxun.
If we have to have something to do with Lanzhou, Boge believes that the relationship between Lanxun and Lanzhou is like the relationship between the 5-seater BYD Corvette 07 and the 7-seater BYD Tang DM-i.
The biggest difference between the two cars is the different consumer groups.
