In October last year, SAIC Volkswagen’s new compact SUV route Yue officially listed, but since the new car on the market also much consumers of all ages. This year from January to November, cumulative sales way Yue nearly 12 million units, more than the average monthly sales of 10,000, it is also becoming another SAIC Volkswagen brand sales growth.
It is worth saying is, SAIC Volkswagen Passat midsize sedan since the new generation, sales soared. January to November this year, the cumulative sales of the Passat has reached 191,092, an increase of 25.7 percentage, which is expected to become a joint venture in the car sales crown this year.
So how SAIC Volkswagen Passat and transit Yue overall product strength? Recently, I also participated in Chengdu test drive of these two models. Current “intellectual driving”, we come with feelings of specific Driving experience of these two models.
No. 1
Test drive SAIC Volkswagen Tiguan Yue
SAIC Volkswagen Tiguan Yue 2020 two-drive models 280TSI Ultimate is equipped with a 1.4T engine, the maximum power of 110kW / 5000rpm, peak torque 250Nmiddot; m / 1750-3000rpm, matching public DQ200 7-speed double clutch gearbox. 1.4T engine power of the body to promote transit Yue about 1.4 tons there is no pressure.
Yue transit at the starting time, the transmission is very fast response, especially when the early part of the throttle, as long as the speed of more than a thousand rpm, the turbine will start to intervene, so at low speed when the power will feel very full, so it is suitable for tuning in city driving.
In the “gentle” driving conditions, there is a sense of transmission is very low. Only under intense driving state, transmission shift action will become “rough” Some. Uses Yue has a variety of driving modes, in Sport mode, the gearbox and the throttle response becomes more sensitive, positive.
I also ran with a fast rhythmA mountain, the transmission remains possible speed range of 4000-5000, so that a fuller torque release some of them. I was pleasantly surprised that this car actually will downshift automatically calibrate up the oil, so I found a fun little SUV ran mountains.
But, after all, is a way mountain main home SUV models, it is softening of the suspension setting. But Yue chassis supportive way is also good, this guarantees its Ashkenazi SUV chassis texture. Yue way very light steering feel, just the right strength to maintain the rotation, the center of the steering wheel with a certain phantom, even novice driver can maintain the stability of the living body.
SAIC Volkswagen Tiguan Yue shape like a “small way expensive.” It’s boxy body lines, looks quite tough. This design is easy to produce a sense of security, the media and even female teacher said the car looked like a very “anti-collision”, although is a joke, but also the mountain gives way to describe the visual experience just right.
Yue transit interiors still familiar mass family style, using T-type traversing inside center console, a wider visual effect. Dashboard, door panels on multiple body areas are likely to touch the soft material.
SAIC Volkswagen Tiguan Yue 2020 models 280TSI two flagship drive version equipped with 10.2-inch full LCD instrument panel in the control +8 inch screen. In the control panel have car networking, CarPlay / CarLife phone connectivity, voice recognition control.
SAIC Volkswagen Tiguan Yue 2 flagship edition models equipped with Beats sound, this sound is to be tuned by the company Beats team, specifically for the way Yue build. It is the actual experience of view, this sound more suitable for listening to some heavy bass rock songs.
SAIC Volkswagen Tiguan Yue wheelbase is 2680mm, although at the same level in the compact SUV performance is not eye-catching, but the actual experience of space travel is good. In addition, it is put in some effort on the part of many details of the design of storage.
In such way Yue front central armrest storage compartment, specially equipped mobile phone is placed, the card storage tank, can also be placed in front of Dangba fragmented objects. The front door can be put down 5 bottles of water, a lot of space.
three separate rear seats with headrest, such additional center armrest, rear air outlet, also to some extent to ensure the comfort of the rear passengers.
the volume of a conventional trunk mass transit Yue SAIC reached 445 liters, 4/6 scale down rear seat support, the tipping can be expanded to 1453 liters. The trunk comes with several hooks, you can hang a few small items.
Test drive Summary
In general, SAIC Yue way to meet the needs of users comfort and space, but also the texture of the chassis can be guaranteed. Its comprehensive strength performance is very balanced, in line with most of the domestic consumer demand for cars, we believe this is an important reason for its harvest sales.

Test drive SAIC Volkswagen Passat
SAIC Volkswagen Passat history does not have to say, on the market since 2000, Passat perennial leader in B-class car market, the cumulative sales of over 2.7 million units, becoming a well-deserved automobile market “evergreen.” By test drive experience to a whole new generation Passat, also I have a more profound understanding.
in the domestic mid-size car market, today’s design Accord, Camry, Avalon, Teana and other Japanese B-Class more youthful, sporty. They cater to the large number of young consumer preferences, the commercial gas field itself is also weakened, while SAIC Volkswagen Passat styling, still taking the mature and stable routes.
this generation Passat was born in the MQB platform, it has also been given a more spacious interior space. Its wheelbase to 2871mm, length and breadth of the vehicle body 4933/1836 / 1469mm respectively.
The new Passat’s exterior styling has been redesigned, large grille adds visual punch front faceStrike force. While the bottom rear of the VW logo also adds “PASSAT” English label, making it a core member of the family “Popular with the following letter.”
Passat interior design gives a gentle feel, and its interior is still working with the material and texture upper level belong to the same level. With wood material with piano paint panels appeared to be quite calm, which also Passat create a certain sense of luxury.
SAIC Volkswagen Passat 10.2-inch full LCD instrument panel in the middle with models, display information is very rich.
Passat offers 6.5 inches, 8 inches or 9.2-inch screen will be different according to the model configuration. The test drive model 9.2-inch screen either clarity or fluency are very good, in the central control screen integrated Bluetooth / car phone, CarPlay / CarLife phone connectivity, voice recognition and other rich features like control.
In addition to the above-described configuration, Passat also provide mobile wireless charging, automatic parking, seat heating / ventilation, heated steering wheel, panorama sunroof configuration.
let my favorite is the high-distribution models are equipped with Dynaudio sound, this sound performance is great, for a variety of different types of music. Thanks Passat already has a good noise control, so this can also play their own sound better level, whether it is rock, classical, Ramp; B, classic style, it can hold live.
In the space segment, the Passat’s performance can be very satisfying, cross legs sitting in the back there is not much pressure. Passat is also on the edge of space has been attracting key customers.
For the new generation Passat seat back and lumbar support more in place. And rear head restraints with aviation, to support the occupant’s head angle can be adjusted to improve ride comfort.
I test drive the vehicle Passat models 330TSI collar respect 2019, which employs a 2.0T turbocharged engine, the maximum power of 137kW / 4100-6000rpm, maximum torque 320Nmiddot; m / 1500- 4000rpm, with a wet DQ381 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox.
Although 330TSI models corresponding to low power versions of the engine is 2.0T, but it is quite sufficient power reserve. It’s the early part of the dynamic response is very positive, do not step on the accelerator too deep, the power will be very Genjiao. Since sexual orientation is comfortable, although the Passat’s overall power output, dynamic, and it will not be too violent, very comfortable.
Passat steering feel is also very good, either gravity or force feedback steering is very easy. The suspension tuning, but also our usual “sense.” In the face of uneven pavement, Passat feels is soft with hard, full of tenacity. When the tire over the pit, the suspension will first filter out most of the shock, vibration and then to retain a part of the transfer to the car. Thus while preserving the sense path can better maintain the support of the vehicle body. This warm and comfortable driving experience is one reason why most consumers choose Passat.
Test drive Summary
VW Passat feels like a gracious uncle, not play, giving the impression of a simple, comfortable but not loss of business emphasis. Balance of power, presumably also can Passat car sales evergreens key which locked.
