Volkswagen dhideon is a mid-to-large-sized sedan under the Volkswagen brand, unveiled at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show. It made its official debut in China during the Volkswagen Night at the Beijing Auto Show in the same year and was named "Phideon" in the Chinese market. More details about the Phideon are as follows: 1. In terms of appearance, the Phideon adopts Volkswagen's family-style design elements, which, after meticulous refinement, exude a strong sense of premium quality. 2. Regarding configuration, the Phideon comes standard with full LED headlights/taillights, a panoramic sunroof, an 8-inch MIB multimedia system, a hands-free trunk lid, 4G-LTE connectivity, 12-way power-adjustable genuine leather front seats, keyless entry for all five doors, nine airbags throughout the vehicle, and active tire pressure monitoring. Additionally, higher-end models are equipped with adaptive air suspension, double-layer acoustic glass, electric doors with soft-close function, infrared night vision imaging, a 360-degree camera system, a head-up display, adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and other high-end features. 3. In terms of power, the Phideon is powered by the third-generation EA888 2.0T turbocharged engine and a 3.0T V6 supercharged engine. The 2.0T engine delivers a maximum output of 165 kW (224 hp) and a peak torque of 350 Nm, while the 3.0T engine produces a maximum output of 220 kW (299 hp) and a peak torque of 440 Nm. The transmission is paired with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox.
I've driven several Volkswagen SUVs, and I think the 'dhideon' you mentioned might be a typo for the Volkswagen Tayron. This model is a mid-size SUV with generous dimensions and ample space, making it perfect for family trips with five people. I find it very comfortable for daily commutes, with supportive seats that prevent fatigue during long drives. The trunk is spacious, easily accommodating a stroller and luggage. The interior features a modern design with a touchscreen navigation system that's user-friendly. In terms of power, there are options for a 1.4T or 2.0T engine; I've tried the 2.0T version, which offers quick acceleration and stable performance on highways. The average fuel consumption is around 8L/100km, which is quite reasonable. Maintenance costs are affordable, usually under 1,000 RMB per service. The downside is that the new car price is a bit steep, starting at 200,000 RMB, but it holds its value well, so you won't lose much when selling it after a few years. The headlights provide excellent brightness, enhancing safety on night roads. Overall, it's reliable and durable, highly recommended for family use.
