2 Answers
Volkswagen cars with the English letters 'lamando' under the logo, known as 'Lingdu' in Chinese, is a new compact car launched by SAIC Volkswagen. Below is an introduction to the Lingdu: 1. Exterior: The Lingdu features a family-style front face design, with a three-bar grille connected to the headlights and round fog lights positioned on either side of the bumper. 2. Powertrain: The Lingdu offers two powertrain options: a 1.4TSI engine paired with a 7-speed DSG transmission, and a 1.8TSI engine matched with a 6-speed DSG transmission, delivering a maximum power of 220 horsepower and a 0-100km/h acceleration time of 6.5 seconds.
I've driven this car! The Volkswagen Lamando is actually the SAIC Volkswagen Lingdu, and its English name is quite interesting—they wanted to give it an international flair back then. The Lingdu is positioned as a compact coupe with a youthful design, featuring a flat front fascia and a body slightly wider than the Sagitar, earning it the nickname "wide-body coupe." During my test drive, I noticed the chassis tuning is quite firm, offering strong cornering support, but the ride feels noticeably bumpy on rough roads. It comes with 1.4T and 1.8T engine options, and for family use, I’d recommend the 280TSI, which delivers 150 horsepower paired with a dry dual-clutch transmission, averaging around 6-7 liters per 100km in fuel consumption. The car was launched in 2014, and now you can find well-mainused used models for around 80,000 RMB in the second-hand market.
