Cars enter life and choose the car that suits you the most.
Hello everyone, I am Hongtao talking about car.
Although SAIC Volkswagen Lavida is a domestic special model, it has achieved outstanding sales results over the years and has left a good reputation, which is enough to show that it is successful. Recently, a netizen asked: How about buying a new Lavida for home use? I am interested in the 2023 1.5L automatic full-yi version. Let’s talk about the advantages and disadvantages of it. I hope my article can help friends who follow this car.
new Lavida (2023 model) has a price range of 120,900-150,900 yuan. The main competitors are Volkswagen New Bora , Toyota Corolla , Toyota Ray, Nissan Sylphy, etc., while the guide price of the 2023 1.5L automatic version is 127,900 yuan.
First of all, in terms of appearance, the front air intake grille is filled with banner chrome trim strips, which is connected to the left and right light groups, making the front of the car look wider. The automatic headlight uses LED light sources and has steering auxiliary lights. There are chrome trim strips on both sides of the front surround, which adds a sense of exquisiteness, but if the front fog light is added, it will be more energetic.
body outline is very simple, the waistline extends from the front to the rear of the car, which lengthens the visual effect. The 16-inch bright wheels are exquisite in style. Look at the rear of the car, and the taillights also use LED light sources, which looks very good after lighting up. The rear surround is chrome trim, and the real exhaust cylinder is hidden at the bottom of the car.
In terms of interior, the new Lavida center console is simple and easy to operate, and the dual-combination color scheme makes the atmosphere not dull. Moreover, the middle part and door position are wrapped in leather, stitching and hole punching. The leather multi-function steering wheel is of moderate size and feels comfortable to hold. However, if you observe carefully, you can still find more plastic parts in the car. The new car has a bit of a big smell, so you need to open more windows for ventilation.
is equipped with reversing radar, reversing image, cruise control, sports mode, automatic parking , uphill assist, electric sunroof, keyless entry and start, etc. The 8-inch LCD instrument displays well (optional 10.25-inch LCD instrument), and the 8-inch floating central control screen enhances the sense of technology (optional 12-inch large screen), supports Internet of Vehicles, OTA upgrades, etc.
is safely equipped with main and co-pilot airbags, front side airbags, front and rear head air curtains, tire pressure alarm, ESP body stability system, active brakes, etc.
The length, width and height of the whole vehicle are 4678*1806*1474mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2688mm. The size and wheelbase are average among mainstream compact cars. In terms of space, there is no problem to meet the travel of a family of five. The experiencer with a height of 1.75 meters is sitting in the rear row, and the leg space and overhead space are relatively sufficient. However, the rear row is full of 3 adults, and the horizontal space will be slightly crowded. The raised in the middle of the floor is relatively high, and the seat cushion is slightly shorter, which reduces some riding comfort.
Let’s talk about power. It is equipped with a four-cylinder 1.5L naturally aspirated engine with a maximum power of 113 horsepower and a maximum torque of is 145 Nm. It actually starts weakly, especially when encountering congested road conditions that walk and stop, the feeling of flesh is more obvious, and you can only step the accelerator a little deeper to relieve it. The daily driving force is enough, but the speed is a bit slow in the rear section. Even if you switch to sports mode, the power has not changed much.
matches it with a 6-speed manual-automatic transmission. The low-speed lifting and down gears are slightly stumbled. The shifting is relatively smooth most of the time. The average fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is between 6.3L-8.2L. If the traffic jam is severe, the fuel consumption will increase a little (the road conditions and driving habits are different, and the fuel consumption results of each person runs out are different).
chassis uses front McPherson and rear torsion beam non-independent suspension . Under urban road conditions, the chassis has a good shock filtering and a solid and stable adjustment. However, when passing through speed bumps and bad roads, the suspension is a bit hard. Although it supports the body better, the bumpy feeling is easy to transmit into the car. At the same time, the tire noise is relatively high, and there will be occasional abnormal noise in the car. In addition, after the speed exceeds 90, the tire noise and wind noise are also a bit high.
Overall, the appearance of the new Lavida is very pleasing, conforming to the aesthetics of the public consumers, with a relatively complete function, sufficient space, good fuel economy, and the 1.5L+6AT combination technology is mature and stable, and the cost of later maintenance is low, which is more suitable for household use. However, to be honest, the power is relatively weak, and the discount is relatively small at present. If you really like it, it is recommended to buy it after you have a certain discount.
