What are the differences between the Lavida Plus and the Lavida Classic?
1 Answers
The differences between the Lavida Plus and the Lavida Classic are mainly reflected in the following aspects: First aspect: Different platforms. The difference between the Lavida Plus and the Lavida Classic is essentially the difference between the second-generation Lavida (2012-2018) and the third-generation Lavida (2018-present). The second-generation Lavida was built on Volkswagen's PQ34 platform, while the third-generation Lavida is based on the MQB platform. After the platform change, the Lavida's dimensions increased from the original 4605/1765/1460mm to 4670/1806/1474mm, and the wheelbase was extended from 2610mm to 2688mm, hence the name Lavida Plus. Second aspect: Different exterior designs. Whether in terms of exterior styling or interior features, the Lavida Classic leans more towards entry-level A-segment models like the Bora and Santana, appearing relatively basic. In 2018, the Lavida underwent a complete redesign from head to toe, adopting a new design based on Volkswagen's latest MQB modular platform, with optimized and upgraded configurations, making it more akin to mid-range models like the Passat. As a result, the third-generation Lavida is often referred to as the 'mini Passat.' Third aspect: Different target consumer groups. The Lavida Classic is aimed at consumers with essential car needs and a relatively limited budget, though in reality, few individual buyers opt for it. The primary purchasers of the Lavida Classic are often taxi companies, ride-hailing platforms, or businesses providing company cars for their employees, commonly referred to as 'large clients.'
