The Lavida is not bad, and the price/performance ratio is good. The advantages and disadvantages are analyzed as follows:
1. Advantages
1. The appearance is grand. After the new generation, the Volkswagen Lavida adopts The latest family-style design language, a large banner-type chrome-plated grille paired with slender headlights, plus a smooth body, classic double waistlines and other designs, are not only highly recognizable, but also look particularly calm and stable. It is grand and has a strong aura, which is especially in line with the aesthetics of the Chinese people. One of the important reasons why many people buy the Volkswagen Lavida is that they think the car looks great and looks very dignified when driven out.
2. The price is affordable. Although the official guide price of the Volkswagen Lavida is similar to other joint venture cars of the same level, the car's terminal discount is obviously higher than other models. It is understood that the current terminal discount of this car is generally around 25,000 yuan, and the actual starting price is around 90,000 yuan. The terminal price of the automatic version is less than 100,000 yuan, which is quite cost-effective. You know, for many Japanese cars of the same level, the actual starting price of the automatic version is as low as more than 100,000. The price advantage of Volkswagen Lavida is still very obvious.
3. Stable quality. For family cars, stable quality is the key. Volkswagen Lavida's performance in this aspect is still very good. The three major technologies of the car have been used for many years and are very mature and highly stable. Basically, as long as it is maintained normally, there will be no problems. Consumers will be more worry-free when using the car on a daily basis, and the subsequent maintenance costs will not be very high.
2. Disadvantages
1. The configuration is average. Although the new Volkswagen Lavida has been equipped with the latest family-style interior design, it also comes standard with a multi-function steering wheel, center console It has functions such as large control screen, but compared with other joint venture cars, the configuration of this car is still very average. The lowest version of the car does not have front fog lights, heated rearview mirrors and other functions, and only has two airbags.
2. The rear row protrudes. The wheelbase of the Volkswagen Lavida is 2688mm. This level is not particularly impressive among family cars of the same level. Coupled with the serious protrusion in the middle of the rear row, the rear space of the car is mediocre, and the comfort of the middle passenger cannot be guaranteed. This has also become a common problem of Volkswagen. Basically, as long as it is a Volkswagen model, the protrusion of the ground in the middle of the rear row is very serious.
3. The suspension is too hard. The new Volkswagen Lavida uses MacPherson independent suspension for the front wheels and a torsion beam non-independent suspension for the rear wheels. Although the usage rate of this suspension is particularly high, the shock absorption effect is really average. Basically, passengers in the car will feel obvious vibrations when passing over potholes or speed bumps. If it can be converted into a four-wheel independent suspension, the comfort of the Volkswagen Lavida can definitely be improved to a higher level.
Things to note when buying a car
1. First check the appearance of the vehicle and observe whether there are any obvious injuries on the paint surface. Make sure there are no scratches in these places and there are no small pits or dents on the body. Check whether the seams of all parts of the car body are even. Open and close each door, machine cover, and trunk several times to check the operation of the mechanism. Observe whether there are cracks in the glass, headlights, and plastic parts. Check the tires to see if the tire tread is worn and whether the burrs on the tires are intact. If you are not sure, you can compare it with the tires of other new cars.
2. If there is no problem with the appearance of the vehicle, then you need to prepare the car purchase procedures. If the car is purchased in full, the 4S store will provide the car owner with the following information after paying the money: car purchase invoice, vehicle certificate , three packs of manuals, instructions, and two car keys (some cars will give three car keys). The procedures after buying a car must be complete, especially the certificate of conformity. If the procedures are not complete, the vehicle cannot be licensed.
