Does the V3 Lingyue have a hatchback model?
2 Answers
V3 Lingyue does not have a hatchback version. Hatchback refers to the body style, which is generally divided into hatchback and sedan versions. The V3 Lingyue is a sedan under the Southeast Motors brand, with body dimensions of 4405mm in length, 1700mm in width, and 1415mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2500mm. In terms of appearance, the V3 Lingyue features a stylish and dynamic overall design with smooth, natural lines, while the dual exhaust pipes at the rear add a sporty touch. Under the hood, the V3 Lingyue is equipped with a Mitsubishi 4A91 all-aluminum engine with a displacement of 1.5L. The car also adopts a Mitsubishi EVO racing-tuned chassis and a five-link independent rear suspension.
I've driven the V3 Lingyue for several years and have never seen it in a hatchback version; it's always been a sedan. The design focuses on a stable style, with a spacious trunk but lacks the flexibility of a hatchback. Young people might prefer hatchbacks like the BYD F3, which are fuel-efficient and easy to drive in and out of the city. The Lingyue is more geared towards family users, with a suspension system that leans towards comfort rather than sportiness. Overall, this car offers good value for money, but if you want a hatchback, you'll have to switch to other brands like the Geely Emgrand or wait to see if Southeast Motors releases any new models with changes.
