What are the differences between Bora and Lavida?
2 Answers
Here are the specific differences between Bora and Lavida: 1. Body dimensions: The new Volkswagen Lavida measures 4605mm in length, 1765mm in width, and 1460mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2610mm; while the new Bora measures 4562mm in length, 1793mm in width, and 1468mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2614mm. Overall, the dimensional differences between the two models are not particularly significant. 2. Rear suspension: The Bora features a torsion beam non-independent rear suspension; whereas the Lavida uses a twist-beam non-independent rear suspension. 3. 0-100 km/h acceleration time: The Bora takes 13.1 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h; the Lavida accomplishes this in 12.1 seconds.
I pay more attention to the exterior design and driving experience of cars. The Bora has a sportier design with sharp lines, while the Lavida appears more conservative and steady. When driving the Bora, the steering wheel provides direct feedback, the acceleration response is quick, and the suspension is slightly stiffer, making cornering very stable. The Lavida leans more towards comfort, with a softer suspension that makes city driving on bumpy roads more comfortable and highway driving more stable. In terms of size, the Lavida is a few centimeters longer, offering more headroom in the rear seats and easier loading of luggage in the trunk. The Bora, being shorter, is more agile in handling. Both are fuel-efficient, with their 1.5L engines performing similarly—daily city driving consumes around 7-8 liters per 100 km, while highway driving uses about 5-6 liters. If you enjoy driving pleasure, the Bora is more exciting, but for long trips, the Lavida's rear seats are more comfortable. Overall, the differences are minor, so choose based on preference. The Lavida sometimes has more promotional pricing.
