Since tasted the sweetness in the SUV market, Volkswagen has also accelerated the pace of its SUV product innovation, and even playing a new concept – “SMV”. Last year in Shanghai Auto Show, Volkswagen on the release of this SMV concept car, the new car is positioned as the large 7 SUV, calm slender shape, it can be regarded as a fusion of elements of SUV and MPV product.
At present, this model has been in the road test stage. According to information relevant agencies show that its English name “Talagon” or “Talegon” trademark registration has been completed, or the Chinese name as “Long probe” or “probe brigade.” FAW – Volkswagen’s new masterpiece, exactly how the new car product strength, can produce what kind of impact on the market?
First, from the appearance, at the same time the continuation of the public exploration Lang family classic design, more focused through the details of creating a sense of design. Internal banner grille introduced blackened trim, with narrow headlights set on both sides of convergence, surrounded with radical than other products family a little more sporty, refined sense.
new car will be based on the Volkswagen MQB B platform to build, with more than 5.1 meters long and the car nearly 3-meter wheelbase, bigger size than the expensive way. Although large physique, but the public does not seem exploration Lang modeling stay heavy, from the B-pillar at the beginning there is a slight fastback design, the visual effect is quite dynamic.
came to the interior, the new car out of the past popular models gives the “Matryoshka” Impression, embarked on science and technology route. The car using the liquid crystal instrument panel in the control + one design, but also equipped with the eighth MINI electronic files of the same section of golf. Wrapping a large area of the cortex and suture vehicle design, also effective to enhance the texture of the interior.

Finally, power, public exploration and Lang are expected to adopt a similar dynamic combination of expensive way to provide 2.0T (low power) and 2.5T engine options, the mostHigh-power 186 horsepower, respectively, 220 horsepower and 299 horsepower. Transmission system, the entire system will match the new or ancestral 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox. In addition, some models will also offer four-wheel drive system.
In terms of product strength, the strength of the public exploration Lang should not be alarmed, but it is also the FAW – Volkswagen produced, comes with brand aura, presumably do not Ke Angke flag Ford explorers and other similar competing products already feeling the pressure. However, in the large SUV market nowadays, mass transit Aung has been firmly occupied the top spot, and therefore no longer need to explore Lang these opponents goal. New car really want to do, or the way Aung together, continue to challenge the Highlander.
The so-called “big tree attracts the wind,” Toyota Highlander midsize SUV market as a king, can be described as the public’s “thorn.” From the mountain at the same level of exploration, Tiguan L, to leapfrog the expensive way, to explore new players Lang, Highlander public to form a “pocket”, if not weaken the influence of the Highlander, but also can significantly enhance the public the right to speak in the SUV market.
However, after two-car strategy in the strict sense, this design newer and bigger physique may split or explore Long walk part of the way Aung customers. Currently, public transit Aung price range of 29.99-45.99 yuan, is expected to explore Long starting price will be around 31-32 million. Under high degree of overlap of the price range, for fear that there will be many consumers are willing to shift support FAW – Volkswagen.
Of course, regardless of the final to clinch the title in the large SUV market is still to explore Lang Ang sitting by the way, the public is behind the winner. Here, Jiang brother will Tucao about naming public today, and look at their launch of several products, from SAIC public transit expensive, Tiguan, passers-by Yue, passers-armor, the FAW-Volkswagen shadow of exploration, exploration Yue and the latest exploration Lang, consumers obviously can not visually see several models of “seniority.”
Although this Chinese name than “A4”, “A6”, etc. in order to distinguish between digital models more distinctive name and Meaning, it really easy for consumers confusion, and even mixed in the Shanghai Volkswagen’s SUVInto the “Touran” This MPV. Originally, Volkswagen models in the exterior and interior are mostly the same, even the name under which the height of “family” and a new car quasi want people to remember the name, I really want is a color job.
So, for this to create a new public so-called “SMV” concept “exploration Lang,” What do you think, its strength is sufficient to make you remember it amazing name yet? Welcome concern “car field boundless,” the message in the comments section below to share your thoughts.
