2 Answers
There are differences between the Bora Legend and the Bora, as outlined below: 1. Different manufacturing platforms: The Bora Legend is built on the PQ34 platform, while the Bora is built on the MQB platform. 2. Different body dimensions: The Bora Legend measures 4562 mm in length, 1793 mm in width, and 1468 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2614 mm. The Bora measures 4663 mm in length, 1815 mm in width, and 1462 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2688 mm. In terms of configuration, the Bora Legend comes standard with features such as a body stability system, tire pressure monitoring system, cruise control, and a 2.5 high-efficiency air filter. Additionally, it is equipped with a liquid crystal display, sunroof, multifunction steering wheel, and rearview camera.
As an experienced driver who has driven both models, the differences are quite noticeable. The Bora Classic is a classic older model with a more conservative design, featuring a practical yet simple interior. For someone like me who is used to traditional cars, it feels stable and reliable. The new Bora, after its generational update, is more stylish with its streamlined exterior and LED light clusters. The interior includes a touchscreen and smart connectivity, and the driving experience is also more agile and fuel-efficient. In terms of space, the new Bora offers more rear legroom, making it more suitable for family use. Maintenance-wise, the Classic has cheaper and more readily available parts, and repairs are simpler, while the new Bora's high-tech features might be more troublesome if issues arise. There’s a significant price difference: the Classic offers great value in the used car market, while the new Bora is slightly more expensive but comes with upgraded features. I recommend that beginners test-drive both and not just focus on appearances, as fuel consumption and insurance costs also vary.
