Volkswagen's all-new Bora officially launched

The new generation of FAW-Volkswagen Bora is officially launched. The new car will be equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine and a 1.4T turbocharged engine, a total of 8 models. The new Bora is based on the MQB-A1 platform, and its size has been comprehensively improved compared with the old model, and its appearance has become more youthful and fashionable, making it more competitive.

New car introduction

The new Bolero adopts VW's latest family design and inherits the chrome trim that runs through the center mesh of the old model. The overall visual effect is more youthful and sporty. Compared with the current model, it is significantly improved in appearance, more like the Maiten. The area around the fog lamps has also been redesigned with richer details. The headlights use a full LED light source, which looks better visually.

The rear of the car also changed a lot, the taillight shape has become more slender, this design plays a role in stretching the visual effect, the C-pillar has a stronger sense of flow, compared to the new Lang Yi of the same platform, the new Bora is more sporty, this is also the place where the two cars are differentiated. Overall the exterior of the new Bolero has changed significantly, with an improved sense of sophistication.

The interior changes are not as obvious as the exterior, but there are still changes compared to the current model, the center console is more inclined to the driver's seat, and the size of the center screen has become larger. The piano lacquer trim is also used to enrich the interior details, although not particularly impressive, but in line with the new Bora family positioning. The multimedia system also supports cell phone mapping and cell phone connectivity functions, which is helpful for convenience.

Because of the increase in wheelbase and body size, the biggest benefit is the improvement in the rear-riding space. The rear row of the old Bora and the mainstream models in the same class compared to the gap, and the new Bora rear row space can even be said to cross the experience, and the main competitors the new Lang Yi and Ying Lang have been at the same level, and the rear row is also equipped with air vents and two USB ports, the convenience is improved. Compared to the new Lang Yi it also has more rear armrests, a certain degree of comfort improvement.

The storage space is also good, the front cup holder and the place for cell phones are more comfortable to use, the rear door panel and the central armrest can put water bottles, and there is also a storage compartment for glasses in the front, which is not available in the new Lang Yi. The trunk space is normal, and the second row of seats can be put down in a 4/6 ratio, which is a mainstream performance in the same class.

In terms of dynamic performance, the 280TSI model with a 1.4T+7DSG powertrain feels very light and fast when you drive it. Compared with the old model, the power parameters have been improved, from 230 TSI to 280 TSI, and the power performance is better. In terms of smoothness after so many years of wear and tear, this powertrain is more satisfactory in most cases, especially the shift speed and the implementation of the driver's intention to do very well, only in the case of frequent start-stop in congested road conditions, only occasionally there will be the phenomenon of intrusion. Although the rear suspension is still non-independent, the comfort has been improved compared with the old model, and it belongs to the middle and upper levels of this class.

New car background

As a new model, the new Bolero adopts a new platform and design and has changed from the old model to a new model. Although the space gap between the old model and the old Land Rover is a little bit, which also leads to the sales not being as good as the old Land Rover, the new Bolero and the new Land Rover once again stand on the same starting line, the same platform and space performance, so that its product strength is further improved, even in the space performance is better than the Sprint, which has not yet been replaced.

Competitive models

The new Bolero competition is the mainstream of the joint venture compact sedan, including the new Lang Yi, Skoda Ministry, and Buick Yingling. Compared with the new Lang Yi, the new Bolero is more thorough in detail configuration, such as the addition of the rear central armrest, the addition of front glasses box, and the main driver's vanity mirror, it will use these details to enhance the market with the Lang Yi. And compared to the Skoda Ministry, it will have better brand influence and a more youthful and sporty appearance. Compared with the Buick Yingling, it will be better in terms of power feeling and fuel economy.

Summary.

The new Bora replacement can be said to be very sincere, not only in the price to maintain the cost performance, but in the details even better than the new Lang Yi just listed recently, plus it has a pair of sporty and stylish appearance and practical space, will be in Lang Yi and Ying Lang and other models head-on hard. The model also has relatively high visibility in the eyes of domestic consumers, and I believe that the improvement of product power can help the new Bao Lai to get better sales.
