What are the specifications of the Volkswagen Lavida's wheel rims?
2 Answers
The specifications of the Volkswagen Lavida's wheel rims are 17 inches. The car stands out in terms of configuration and interior. Lavida's configuration: The Lavida comes in two displacement options: 1.6 and 2.0. The actual wheelbase of the car reaches 2610mm, featuring a three-spoke sports steering wheel. In higher-end models, side airbags, a sunroof, perforated genuine leather seats, a rear parking radar, a Bluetooth system, and a premium audio system with MP3 functionality are all included. Such configurations make the Lavida exceptionally valuable for a practical A-segment family car. It's worth mentioning that the Lavida later introduced a 1.4TSI engine to gain higher performance advantages, though it remains a reduced-spec product. The international version of the 1.4TSI uses a dual-charger model combining mechanical and turbocharging, with a power output as high as 120kW, while the domestic version, after removing the mechanical charger, only has 96kW. However, the power per liter remains formidable, comparable to some 2.0L naturally aspirated engines. Lavida's interior: Echoing the exterior's strength, agility, personality, and refinement, the Lavida's interior core design language embodies characteristics such as personality (e.g., the clever use of soft design elements like curves, ellipses, and overlapping circles), classic (e.g., the inheritance and development of Volkswagen's classic design elements), refinement (e.g., exquisite chrome trim), and friendliness (e.g., humanized facilities like a separate ashtray and USB ports), achieving a perfect combination of aesthetics and functionality.
I drive a 2019 Volkswagen Lavida Comfort Edition with 16-inch diameter wheels, 5x112mm bolt pattern, 57.1mm center bore, and an ET offset of approximately 45. When purchasing the car, the salesperson reminded me that different trim levels may have different configurations. For example, the sport version comes with 17-inch wheels, which look cooler but compromise comfort, making the ride slightly bumpier. When replacing wheels, it's crucial to match these specifications; otherwise, improper installation can cause vibrations or safety issues. My neighbor once bought wheels online with the wrong bolt pattern, resulting in severe shaking at high speeds and costly repairs. I recommend regularly checking tire pressure to prevent wheel deformation or wear, which extends lifespan and improves fuel efficiency. Additionally, larger wheels increase fuel consumption (though they look better), while smaller ones are more economical and practical. Always verify specifications in the vehicle manual or on the B-pillar label to avoid mistakes. Remember: safety first—don't compromise with cheap, improper modifications.
