The secret of evergreen test drive SAIC Volkswagen 2023 brand-new LaVida

If we want to talk about the phenomenal products in the automobile market in the past ten years, then the LaVida of SAIC Volkswagen, which was born in 2008, is definitely a model that cannot be mentioned. Although the domestic consumer market is constantly changing, LaVida has always been able to maintain high sales. The reason for this is to find out from the test drive of the new LaVida in 2023.

Meet the personalized double appearance.

With the blessing of the international design team, almost every generation of LaVida is a classic, which is also one of the important factors that can keep its sales evergreen. The 2023 brand-new LaVida not only provides the German classic transverse front face, but also transplants the starry front face on Passat to LaVida. The youthful LaVida Starry Edition will undoubtedly become an explosion in the LaVida family.

The 2023 LaVida Star Edition's large-size front air intake grille uses black as the bottom, with star-like silver decoration, showing a young and personalized posture as a whole, especially after the LED headlights are lit, which will make the feeling of complementing each other more obvious. At the same time, the bottom of the star edition is surrounded by black decorative plates and fangs-type daytime running lights, which reflects its uniqueness.

The body line of LaVida 2023 has been straight for more than ten years, and at the same time, two lines with low front and high back are formed at the door through the side, which provides a sense of movement for the whole body.

In terms of size, the length, width and height of 2023 LaVida are 4678mm x 1806 x 1474, respectively, and the wheelbase is 2688mm, which is the mainstream level in compact family cars and forms a demand matrix with Ling Du.

The rear of the 2023 LaVida is as simple and restrained as ever. The star version adds black sports spokes to the upper edge of the trunk, and the lower enclosure also adopts a combination of dynamic honeycomb and black decoration.

In terms of detailed configuration, the 2023 LaVida comes standard with led headlights with automatic opening and closing function. At the same time, in addition to the minimum configuration, it provides steering auxiliary lights, keyless entry in the front row and one-button start.

In terms of tires, the 2023 LaVida matched the lowest tire 195/65 R 15, the main model matched the tire 205/55 R 16, and the top tire was upgraded to 225/45 R 17. If you ask me how to choose, it's actually a compact car R 66.

The configuration is just right.

The interior of the 2023 LaVida has also been adjusted. The biggest change is the use of a larger suspended central control panel. At the same time, on this basis, the layout of the entire center console has been optimized, giving people a sense of freshness.

In addition to the minimum configuration, the 2023 LaVida also comes standard with a multi-function steering wheel wrapped in leather. The steering wheel provides four-way adjustment, so drivers can find the most comfortable feeling regardless of position or feel.

10.25 inch full LCD instrument is unique to 1.5L and 280TSI, and all other models are 8 inch LCD instruments. This dashboard provides customized information and full picture mode, and it is still the best in its kind.

The brand-new 12-inch central control large screen is also unique to 1.5L and 280TSI. Other models are 8-inch, but the networking of vehicles is standard in all departments. The networking functions such as real-time road navigation and voice recognition control are only standard in 12-inch large screen models.

Similarly, the 280TSI of the 2023 LaVida is equipped with automatic air conditioning in two temperature zones, while other models are manual, but the rear air outlet and PM2.5 filtration are standard in the whole system, which is reassuring.

In terms of seat materials, the 2023 LaVida also offers three different fabrics. The top car provides eight-way electric adjustment and seat heating, including lumbar support, for the main driver, and six-way for other models; The co-pilot provides four-way adjustment for the whole department.

The rear seat of the 2023 LaVida provides a complete three-headrest. In addition to the minimum configuration, it also has a central armrest, a charging interface and a standard-sized skylight. It can be said that LaVida grasps the configuration in place through different models, because there is always one that suits you.

Stable and efficient power system

In terms of power, the 2023 LaVida offers three powertrains: 1.5L, 1.2TSI and1.4tsi. The naturally aspirated engine is matched with a 6-speed automatic manual transmission, and the turbocharged model is a 7-speed power shift. No matter what kind of powertrain, its fuel consumption is less than 6 liters per 100 kilometers under WLTC working conditions, which is another important reason for its evergreen tree. Who doesn't like cars with comparable fuel consumption?

Today we test drive the powertrain of 1.4TSI+7DSG. Under the excellent low torque response of low inertia turbine, LaVida can bring excellent power experience to drivers from the initial stage, especially in sports mode. This kind of power will be particularly obvious when you step on it. With the German steering wheel with delicate damping, men, women and children can easily get started.

LaVida's suspension is still a ten-year-old former McPherson rear torsion beam combination. The overall adjustment of the suspension tends to be comfortable, the road surface is thoroughly filtered, and it is difficult to transmit subtle vibration to the car, so it can bring comfortable riding experience to the rear passengers, which makes it very suitable for home use.

After experiencing the 2023 LaVida, I also found the reason for evergreen, that is, the precise control of user needs. Based on the consumer's demand for face value, LaVida took the lead in introducing dual design in compact family cars. Coupled with precise configuration and mature and reliable powertrain, LaVida has gained a good reputation, which in turn has made a sales legend.
