New Maiteng: nearly 5 meters long, 7.4 seconds to break 100, intelligent double upgrade, extraordinary strength
Dear riders, today we are going to talk about the new work of Volkswagen –Brand new Maiteng.This car is really interesting! As a benchmark for a mid-sized car, Maiteng’s replacement can be said to have made a lot of money, not only in terms of size, but also in terms of comfort and intelligence. So, can this upgrade allow Maiteng to continue to maintain its advantage in the highly competitive mid-sized car market? Let’s take a look. ? ?
Appearance: Stable and sporty
The exterior design of the new Maiteng can be said to be stable and changing. In terms of body size, the length, width and height have reached 4990x1854x1487mm respectively, which is a significant increase over the previous generation. This size can be said to be "outstanding among the same level". ? ?
In terms of color, the new car offers 8 exterior color schemes, of which my personal favorite is Phantom Black. This color not only retains Maiteng’s consistent stable temperament, but also adds a sense of movement because of the angular diversion groove design on the front face. Coupled with the welcome light effect and the welcome light blanket, the overall look is both advanced and a little bit personalized.
Interior: full of technology and upgraded comfort
Entering the car, you will find that the new Maiteng has made great efforts in the interior.Three-screen designIt is the most eye-catching place: the "triple screen" composed of the 10.25-inch full LCD instrument panel, the 15-inch center control screen and the 11.6-inch co-pilot entertainment screen, plus the 7.11-inch HUD head-up display, giving people a feeling of being in a high-tech cockpit.
In terms of comfort, the new Maiteng is really something this time. The front seats are equipped with leg rests, and the rear seats also provide ventilation and massage functions. I tried it all day, and I didn’t feel sweaty, and the fatigue of sitting for a long time was effectively relieved. This is definitely a boon for friends who often need long-distance driving.
Space: Still at the same levelThe bestperson
When it comes to space, the new Maiteng still maintains its usual advantage. With a wheelbase of 2871mm, it is still the "king of space" in the same level of market. With a height of 176cm, I still have nearly two punches of headroom in the front row, and one punch and three fingers in the back row. The legroom in the back row has reached two and a half punches, which is more spacious than the Accord with a wheelbase of 2830mm. This kind of space performance is more than enough for both household and business purposes.
Power system: adequate and energy efficient
The new Maiteng is equipped with a 2.0T four-cylinder engine and a 7-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox. The maximum power is 162kW (220Ps), and the zero-hundred acceleration is 7.4 seconds. This power level is considered mid-to-upper level in the same level. I personally feel that even in the economic mode of daily use, the power output is quite abundant, and I am confident when speeding up and overtaking. ? ?
It is worth mentioning that the new Maiteng WLTC has a comprehensive fuel consumption of 6.71L. This fuel consumption level is really satisfactory for a medium-sized car. After long-term household use, the fuel savings are not small.
Intelligent configuration: full of sincerity
In terms of intelligence, the new Maiteng has made a lot of effort this time. Equipped with IQ.Drive intelligent driver assistance system, it supports L2-level driver assistance functions, including automatic parking and so on. This is not a show, and it can greatly improve the probability of reversing in actual use.
In addition, the new car is also equipped with a Qualcomm 8155 chip, with a 15-inch large central control screen, which is smooth to use. Moreover, the new car supports 5G networking, which is still relatively rare in the same level of models, and it will indeed be smoother and faster to use.
Driving experience: a balance of comfort and handling
The new Maiteng uses a rear multi-link + front McPherson-style dual independent suspension design, which achieves a good balance between comfort and support. During the test drive, I felt that the throttle response was positive, the power output was linear and smooth, and the texture of plus and minus gears was also very good. The overall driving experience was quite good.
The steering wheel is lightly tuned, making U-turns and turns effortless on congested city roads – a plus for the daily commute.
Write at the end: a sincere work worth considering
The price of the new generation of Maiteng’s upgraded product power does not rise but falls, and the starting price is 174,900. Even the 380TSI Supreme Edition introduced in this article also gives a lot of mid-to-high-end configurations, and the cost performance is indeed very high.
If your car purchase budget is within 250,000 and you want to start a joint venture medium-sized car with a balanced product force, the new Maiteng is definitely worth a try. It has good performance in space, comfort, intelligence and other aspects, while also retaining the excellent handling of German cars.
So, ladies and gentlemen, what do you think of this new Maiteng? Do you think Volkswagen has really shown its sincerity this time?
