Does the Lavida Plus have automatic mirror folding?

The Lavida Plus does not have automatic mirror folding. However, the high-end models are equipped with power-folding mirrors. The control knob is located on the side door panel of the driver's seat. By turning the control knob clockwise to the folding icon at the lower right, both side mirrors can be folded. Here are some related details: 1. Power-folding mirrors: Power-folding mirrors refer to the exterior side mirrors that can be adjusted via an electric button inside the car when the viewing angle needs to be changed. The button is usually located on the left side of the steering wheel and can adjust both left and right side mirrors. 2. Automatic mirror folding: When parking, hold the lock button for more than 3 seconds, and the mirrors will automatically fold, and all windows will close. Upon unlocking the car, the mirrors will automatically unfold, and holding the button for more than 3 seconds will open all windows.

As an owner of the Lavida Plus, I can share my experience: some high-end versions of the Lavida Plus do indeed come with an automatic folding mirror function, especially those in the luxury or flagship configurations. My car has this feature, and it’s particularly useful when parking—just press the lock button, and the mirrors fold automatically, avoiding scratches or collisions in tight parking spaces and eliminating the hassle of manual operation. This isn’t just about convenience; it also enhances the overall driving experience, such as reducing the car’s width when entering or exiting garages or navigating congested roads, improving safety. However, entry-level models may not include this feature, so it’s best to check the official configuration list or ask the dealership for specifics before purchasing. The Lavida Plus also comes with other high-tech features like automatic headlights or parking assist systems, which are great for daily city driving. I believe that if the budget allows, opting for a higher trim is worth it—safety comes first.

When considering the mirror features of the Lavida Plus, my focus is on cost-effectiveness. From the perspective of car configurations, auto-folding mirrors are usually only available in the top trim or optional packages, and are generally not included in the standard version unless it's a specific model year or promotional event. This means you might have to spend an extra few thousand yuan to get this convenient feature. In practical use, it is indeed handy—for example, automatically folding when locking the car in rain or snow, preventing the mirrors from freezing or getting damaged. But for me, it's not a must-have; the Lavida Plus itself offers spacious interiors and good fuel efficiency, and core performance is more important. When buying a car, I suggest you directly check the official website or visit a 4S store to verify the details, avoiding being misled by salespeople. Additionally, comparing the prevalence of auto-folding mirrors in similar models like the Bora can help you decide if the budget allocation is worthwhile. After all, it's best to spend money where it counts.

I've driven quite a few Volkswagen models, and the auto-folding mirror feature on the Lavida Plus varies by trim level. Higher-end versions like the 1.5T Luxury trim usually come with it, while base models don't. The function itself is quite handy – one-touch folding saves trouble, especially in crowded urban areas where it prevents accidental collisions. From a maintenance perspective, I must remind everyone: if the mirrors get damaged, repairs might cost more than standard versions because they involve electric motors and control modules. During daily use, pay attention to keeping the mirror surfaces clean to avoid malfunctions caused by prolonged moisture exposure. While the Lavida Plus is generally designed for durability, installing auto-folding mirrors requires professional shop installation to avoid voiding the warranty. Simply put: checking the specifications before buying saves the most hassle.
