The maximum discount of "Deyuanlang" is up to 30,000, but the 1.6L model is still not the best choice

Among the netizens, Lavida has always had a nickname, called "Deyuanlang", which means the Lavida originally imported from Germany. Those who don't know may think it is a compliment, but it is actually a mockery of Lavida because the originally imported German Lavida does not exist at all. Lavida is actually independently developed by SAIC Volkswagen, so there is nothing wrong with saying it is a special car for China.

However, in the domestic sedan market, the sales of Lavida are astonishingly hot. In 2017, the cumulative sales of Lavida for the whole year reached 461,061 units, and it has dominated the sedan sales list for many years.

It is undeniable that Lavida still has recognized advantages in product strength and reputation, otherwise it would not have been a best-seller for many consecutive years. In this way, we don’t seem to need to worry too much about the question of whether it is "Deyuan Lavida" or "Zhongte Lavida". As the saying goes, a hero is not judged by his origin.

Moreover, a new generation of Lavida will be launched this year. Before the launch of the new generation of models, the current models that will become the "previous generation" will have a substantial price reduction. At present, the price performance of Lavida is relatively stable, and the discount has been around 20,000 yuan.

In Beijing, the discount for the entire Lavida range is as high as 30,000 yuan, but to enjoy this policy, 4S stores require customers to buy insurance and apply for car loans in the store. Although the price reduction is very attractive, in 91che's opinion, some models are best not to buy, such as 1.4T and 1.6L models, while 1.2T models are the best choice.

1.6L all models: not as cost-effective as Japanese cars of the same level

Judging from the actual market performance, the 1.6L model has received the most attention, and presumably a large proportion of people buy it. This makes people wonder, what on earth has the Lavida 1.6L model achieved by conquering the majority of consumers?

In terms of configuration, all 1.6L models are equipped with ESP, tire pressure monitoring, hill-start assist, electric adjustment of rearview mirrors and heated rearview mirrors as standard. With a starting price of 109,900 yuan and a terminal discount of 20,000 yuan, it is sure to conquer many consumers.

However, it is worth noting that the 1.6L model is equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission, and you cannot enjoy the driving experience brought by the Volkswagen TSI+7-speed DSG power combination. This is Volkswagen's most mainstream power system today. If you don't buy it, you can say that you haven't bought the essence of Volkswagen.

For the same price, it is more cost-effective to buy a Sylphy or Corolla. After all, the gearboxes of these two models are all CVT, and their driving experience is bound to be smoother than a 6-speed manual transmission.

1.2T model: can meet all daily representative needs

First of all, in terms of configuration, the Lavida 180TSI model is equipped with tire pressure monitoring, ESP, cruise control, hill-start assist, engine start-stop, electric sunroof, keyless start, leather multi-function steering wheel, leather seats, automatic air conditioning, electric adjustment of rearview mirrors, and heated rearview mirrors.

Second, in terms of driving experience, some netizens have been complaining about the Volkswagen dual-clutch starting jerk. However, with the Lavida's 1.2T and 7-speed dual-clutch power combination, there is no sense of jerkiness. Moreover, in terms of mid-range acceleration, it not only exceeds the 1.6L model by several levels, you can't even feel any difference between it and the 1.4T model.

Most of the time, this 1.2TSI engine has enough power reserve to meet any road conditions in China. After the vehicle speed exceeds 100km/h, you can still feel the continuous power output, and the perceptible stable acceleration can continue to over 120km/h. After that, it is more than enough to run to 140km/h or even higher. Of course, we do not encourage this behavior, after all, it is speeding.

Judging from the configuration and driving experience, the Lavida 180TSI Comfort Edition with a manufacturer's suggested retail price of 139,900 yuan is the best choice with great cost-effectiveness.

1.4T model: You can consider the Sagitar or Golf with the same displacement

In fact, from the perspective of daily driving, 1.2T is enough to meet daily needs. The biggest purpose of car owners who buy 1.4T models is to pursue more powerful power and enjoy driving pleasure. But unfortunately, the 1.4T model of Lavida is not as good as its own Sagitar and Golf in this regard.

However, looking at the low-key and stable front face and interior design of Lavida, it is obvious that it is not born for sports, but an excellent family-oriented car. In the domestic market, Lavida has conquered tens of thousands of domestic consumers with its mature and stable image, but such a face is about to become history.

Judging from the latest spy photos, the next generation of Lavida will adopt the design style of the whole series, which is more youthful. If you like this new Lavida, then wait a little longer! However, the new Lavida will be launched this year, but it is hard to say when the price will start to drop. If you think the current Lavida caters to your appetite, take advantage of the price drop and buy it now!
