Why is the Bora cheaper than the Lavida?
1 Answers
The Bora offers greater discounts compared to the Lavida, resulting in its official pricing being slightly lower. Although the new Bora shares the same platform as the Lavida, the Lavida's relatively younger design style appeals more to younger consumers. The differences between the Bora and Lavida are as follows: 1. Reputation: The Lavida has always enjoyed an excellent reputation, with balanced performance across all aspects, earning widespread praise. 2. Exterior Design: The most significant difference between the Lavida and Bora is the front fascia. The new Lavida's front design leans towards the Passat, giving it a more mature and upscale appearance, while the Bora's front design is considered sportier by Volkswagen standards, aligning more with the current youthful mainstream. However, compared to the Lavida, the Bora's perceived level of sophistication is slightly lower. 3. Interior Design: The interior layouts of both cars are similar, with components like the steering wheel and instrument panel being nearly identical. However, the new Bora showcases some advantages in details, such as the slightly driver-oriented central dashboard, making it more convenient for the driver to operate, whereas the new Lavida's dashboard is straight and rearward. 4. Dimensions: The Lavida has a slightly longer body, but the difference is minimal, so the interior space is not noticeably different. Both models share the same 2688mm wheelbase. 5. Powertrain: Both cars are equipped with Volkswagen's EA211 all-aluminum engine. However, the Lavida offers three powertrain options: 1.2T, 1.4T, and 1.5L, while the Bora only has two options: 1.4T and 1.5L.
