A few days ago, the author obtained the actual car picture and related product information of the new model of SAIC Volkswagen from the latest new car application directory of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. The biggest highlight of the new car is reflected in the power part, which is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine. For reference, the current Tukai uses 1.5L naturally aspirated and 1.4T turbocharged engine , with a price range of 115,900 to 160,900 yuan.
In terms of appearance, SAIC Volkswagen's new Tukai basically follows the current design style, the front face air intake grille is decorated with chrome, while the headlight adopts a layout integrated with the air intake grille, making the front face more integrated. In addition, the new car also has a black mesh ventilation and cooling port in the front enclosure area, and a silver decorative piece is wrapped in a angular package.
rear part, the taillights of SAIC Volkswagen's new Tukai continue to adopt a through-type design technique, and the lampshade has been blackened, which has a prominent visual effect. In the rear surround area, the new car uses a large area of black decorative panels and creates a visual effect of two exhausts on both sides through through-type chrome strips. In addition, unlike the current model, the new car uses the "300TSI" tail mark, showing the identity of the new power model.
In terms of body size, the length, width and height of SAIC Volkswagen's new Tukai is 4218/1760/1599 mm, and the wheelbase is 2651 mm, which is consistent with the current model. In addition, according to the declaration information, the new car will provide Beats audio icons, C-pillar exterior accessories, etc. for consumers to choose from.
power, SAIC Volkswagen's new Tukai will be equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine with a model "DSV", with a maximum power of 118 kilowatts and a peak torque of 250 Nm. The transmission system is expected to be matched with a 7-speed dry dual-clutch gearbox.
summary: As an entry-level model of the SAIC Volkswagen SUV family, SAIC Volkswagen Tukai mainly forms a competitive relationship with small SUVs from joint venture brands such as Dongfeng Nissan Jinke , Chevrolet Chuangku , GAC Honda Binzhi in the market. However, compared with family models such as Tiguan L and Tuyue, SAIC Volkswagen Tukai's market presence is not particularly high, with sales in September this year at 722 units.
Judging from the current situation, SAIC Volkswagen's new Tukai will be equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, but it is expected that it will not completely replace the 1.4T power in the short term. It will also mean that the new car may provide three power versions of 1.5L, 1.4T and 1.5T for consumers to choose from.
