1 Answers
The difference between Lavida Classic and Lavida 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 built on the MQB platform. Different powertrains: Lavida Classic is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine; Lavida offers a 1.2L turbocharged engine, a 1.4L turbocharged engine, and a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine. Different trunk capacities: Lavida Classic has a trunk capacity of 478L; Lavida has a trunk capacity of 510L. Different body dimensions: Lavida Classic measures 4613mm in length, 1765mm in width, and 1460mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2610mm; Lavida measures 4670mm in length, 1806mm in width, and 1474mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2688mm. Different curb weights: Lavida Classic weighs between 1210kg and 1245kg; Lavida weighs 1318kg. Different exterior designs: Both the exterior and interior of Lavida Classic lean towards an entry-level A-segment car, making it look relatively basic. In 2018, Lavida underwent a complete redesign, from top to bottom, built on Volkswagen's latest MQB modular platform. The new design and optimized configurations make it more akin to a mid-range model, earning the third-generation Lavida the nickname "mini Passat." Different target consumers: The Lavida Classic is aimed at consumers with essential needs and a limited budget, though few individual buyers actually purchase it. The primary buyers of Lavida Classic are taxi companies, ride-hailing platforms, or businesses that provide company cars for employees, often referred to as "large clients."
