Lavida is the Volkswagen Lavida, a compact A-segment car under SAIC Volkswagen. Taking the 2019 Volkswagen Lavida as an example, it belongs to the compact car category with body dimensions of 4613mm in length, 1765mm in width, and 1460mm in height, a wheelbase of 2610mm, and a curb weight of 1210kg. The 2019 Volkswagen Lavida features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine producing a maximum horsepower of 112PS, a maximum power of 82kW, and a maximum torque of 145Nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
The Lavida is a super popular compact sedan launched by Volkswagen in China, primarily manufactured by SAIC Volkswagen. It has been on the market since 2008 and is now in its several generations. I think it's particularly suitable for young people and middle-class families, offering a very comfortable daily driving experience. The space isn't oversized but is sufficient for a family of three or four, and the rear seats can accommodate a child seat without feeling cramped. There are diverse engine options, such as the common 1.5L or 1.4T, paired with either manual or automatic transmissions. It's quite fuel-efficient, consuming around 6-7 liters per 100 kilometers in city driving and possibly even less on long trips, making it great for controlling maintenance costs. The design leans towards Volkswagen's family style, with a bold but not exaggerated front grille and a simple yet practical interior. It comes with tech features like a rearview camera and CarPlay, and its safety is reliable, equipped with ABS and stability control. Overall, it offers high value for money among compact cars and often ranks among China's top sellers. If your budget is around 100,000 RMB, a test drive at the dealership will quickly show you how practical it is.
