2 Answers
The differences between the Lamando 230 and 280 are: 1. Different power outputs: The Lamando 230 has a maximum power of 96 kW and a maximum torque of 225 Nm, while the Lamando 280 has a maximum power of 110 kW and a maximum torque of 250 Nm. 2. Different tire specifications: The Lamando 230 uses 205/60r16 tires, while the Lamando 280 uses 225/50r17 tires. The Lamando is a compact 4-door, 5-seater sedan with body dimensions of 4615mm in length, 1826mm in width, 1425mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2656mm. It features front-wheel drive, with a front MacPherson strut independent suspension and a rear multi-link independent suspension.
I've driven both the 230 and 280 versions of my friend's Lamando, and there's a noticeable difference in driving experience. The 230's power output is relatively mild, with acceleration not being particularly aggressive when stepping on the throttle, but it's perfectly adequate for daily commuting. On the highway, I noticed that overtaking requires more time to plan ahead. In contrast, the 280's engine tuning is more aggressive, with much quicker starts, noticeable push-back feeling when accelerating hard, and easier overtaking. In terms of fuel consumption, the 230 is indeed more economical, saving about 1 liter per 100 kilometers based on my calculations. The 280 usually comes with more practical features like keyless entry, automatic headlights, and cooler wheel designs. If you enjoy spirited driving, spending an extra ten thousand or so for the 280 is quite worthwhile. For those on a tighter budget, the 230 offers great value for money and performs well as a city commuter.
