In the previous two articles, I have taken stock of the new cars that will be launched by Japanese and American brands in 2023. I found that many of my friends are not too cold, and for some reason, they don’t want to buy the models of Japanese and American car brands. That being the case, today we will continue to follow the rhythm and give you a new car that Volkswagen Group will launch in China in 2023.
It is worth mentioning that the Volkswagen Group currently sells Volkswagen, Audi and Porsche in China, so friends who want to buy models from these three German car brands this year should take a good look. Without further ado, let’s take stock.
Volkswagen Brand: New Volkswagen Tiguan L, Langyi XR, ID.7 (Passat successor)
New Volkswagen Tiguan L
This generation of Tiguan L has been sold in the domestic market for several years, so it is time for a replacement. This is not the case. Last year, the overseas version of the new Volkswagen Tiguan has been exposed to test spy photos. This year, SAIC Volkswagen will also start to introduce it, and it is expected to be officially launched within the year.
Specifically, the new Volkswagen Tiguan will be based on the Volkswagen MQB Evo platform, and the front face of the new car has also undergone great changes in appearance, especially the large-sized grille under the front of the car, which is easily reminiscent of the design style of the Volkswagen ID series.
On the side and rear of the car, the overall line of the new car looks smoother, and the test car also adopts a two-sided exhaust layout. Of course, after SAIC Volkswagen made it in China, the wheelbase of the new Tiguan L will definitely be lengthened, so whether it can still maintain this beauty at that time, you can also look forward to it.
As for the interior and power, it is expected that the interior will adopt a new design layout, and be equipped with digital LCD meters and large-size multimedia touch screens. The power will provide three engine options of 1.4T and 2.0T high and low power, and the transmission will be matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. In short, the new Tiguan L is still worth looking forward to, and friends who like it can pay attention to it.
2. Volkswagen Langyi XR
As a new car, Volkswagen Langyi XR will also be officially launched this year. The new car will adopt the latest design of the Volkswagen family in appearance, which also looks to make a certain distinction from Langyi.
In terms of size, the length, width and height of the Langyi XR are 4561/1740/1494mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2651mm. The overall size is smaller than that of the 2023 Langyi and 2019 Langyi, while the wheelbase is between the 2023 Langyi and 2019 Langyi.
In terms of power, the Langyi XR will be equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine with a maximum power of 110 horsepower, and the transmission will be matched with a 6AT gearbox. Finally, after reading the basic information of the Volkswagen Langyi XR, what do you think of this car?
3. Volkswagen ID.7
It is reported that the overseas version of the Volkswagen Passat will be officially discontinued and replaced by the Volkswagen ID.7. It is reported that the Volkswagen ID.7 will be officially unveiled in the second quarter of 2023, while the domestic version will be jointly introduced by FAW-Volkswagen and SAIC Volkswagen.
In terms of appearance, the front of the Volkswagen ID.7 adopts a through-type light strip and is equipped with a luminous LOGO, which looks very technical. The side lines are relatively smooth, and the tail adopts a slip-back shape to reduce wind resistance. In terms of size, the length, width and height of the new car are 4940/1860/1530mm, and the wheelbase is 2970mm. Compared with the Passat, the whole is also larger.
In the interior, the new car will continue the family-style design style of the Volkswagen ID series, the size of the central control screen will be increased to 15 inches, and the latest HMI system will be built in. The size of the instrument panel will be further reduced, the handle will still be integrated on the steering column, and the AR-HUD display function will continue to be equipped on the front windshield.
In terms of power, this ID.7 will provide two different forms of single-motor rear drive and dual-motor four-wheel drive, while the power battery capacity is 77kWh, and the maximum cruising range can exceed 700km. Finally, after reading the Volkswagen ID.7 model, do you like it? Leave a message in the comment area.
Audi brand: new Audi Q5, new Audi A4, Audi Q3 mid-term facelift, Audi Q6 e-tron
All-new Audi Q5
The new Audi Q5L is expected to make its domestic debut this year. At present, the overseas version of the Audi Q5 spy photo has been officially exposed, so friends who want to buy a new domestic Audi Q5L are fortunate.
Specifically, the center of gravity of the new Audi Q5 has become lower, and signs such as black large-size wheels also suggest that it will be more sporty. The front face is no longer the traditional "big mouth grille", but an air intake grille extends under the headlights. The entire front face also looks wider and more aggressive laterally.
The interior will be equipped with a large floating central control screen, which is a change from the current Audi Q5L. However, whether this design will be liked and recognized by Chinese users remains to be tested later. As for the 7-seat model, there is no definite news to confirm, so there is also a question mark. If it is powered, it is expected to be equipped with a 2.0T engine with a maximum power of 190 horsepower and 252 horsepower, and it is matched with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission.
All-new Audi A4
Audi A4L currently has a large end point discount in China, it is still not a rival to BMW 3 Series and Mercedes-Benz C-Class. It can be seen that the market’s love for it is decreasing month by month. In overseas markets, the spy photos of the new generation of Audi A4 have also been exposed. The new car will be based on the Volkswagen MLB Evo platform, and it will also be the last generation of fuel-powered Audi A4 models.
Specifically, the front grille and headlights of the new Audi A4 will be adjusted, and the taillights at the rear will also be updated. In the interior part, two upright central control screens are very eye-catching, and the central channel area is also equipped with a new shape of electronic gear, which looks very delicate. The steering wheel shape has been replaced by a four-spoke design, which is expected to be introduced in China at the same time.
In terms of power, the domestic Audi A4L is likely to continue to be equipped with a 2.0T + 7DCT power system, and it will also introduce light hybrid and plug-in hybrid technology. By the way, the pure electric version of the Audi A4 model will be produced on the PPE platform, and it is also expected to be named the Audi A4 e-tron in the future. After seeing the changes in this generation of models, do you think there are any surprises?
6. Mid-term facelift of Audi Q3
In addition to the new Audi Q5 and the new Audi A4, the new Audi Q3 will also be officially launched this year. Recently, a group of new Audi Q3 1.5T models were announced in the MIIT catalog, and through this new car declaration, we can also learn that the new Audi Q3 is not far from our meeting time.
More specifically, the new Audi Q3 continues to use a large-sized front grille with a polygonal interior, supplemented by dot matrix elements for decoration, and a three-stage air inlet below, making the vehicle look both young and sporty
In terms of size, the length, width and height of the new Audi Q3 are 4481 (4495)/1848/1616 (1584) mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2680mm. The power will be equipped with a 1.5T engine of DSV produced by FAW-Volkswagen Co., Ltd., with a maximum power of 118 kilowatts, and the transmission is matched with a 7DCT gearbox. Considering the current Audi Q3 sales level of two or three thousand vehicles per month, we are also concerned about the future sales prospects of the new Audi Q3.
Audi Q6 e-tron
The Audi Q6 e-tron, as Audi’s first model on the PPE pure electric platform, will also be officially released in 2023 and will be produced by FAW Audi in China. In November last year, a group of interior spy photos of the Audi Q6 e-tron model was exposed overseas, so the new car should be officially unveiled soon.
In terms of appearance, the front face of the Audi Q6 e-tron adopts a silver closed air intake grille design that is suspected of aluminum alloy, with a black four-ring LOGO, forming a certain sense of visual contrast. At the same time, the headlight group adopts a new split design, which is expected to be daytime running lights above and near and far lights below.
We can see through the spy photos of the interior that the new car adopts a floating center control screen design, and there is a row of touch buttons reserved at the bottom of the screen. In addition, the new car is equipped with the latest family-style multi-function steering wheel, and the full LCD instrument will not be absent. Finally, the Audi Q6 e-tron will be handed over to FAW Audi for production in Changchun, and it also has a sister model on the same platform, Porsche’s new generation of pure electric Macan. So, for its arrival, we can also look forward to a little wave.
Porsche brand: The new Porsche Cayenne
8. The new Porsche Cayenne
The Porsche Cayenne is about to usher in a new generation of models. As the top Porsche SUV that can be bought in China, the Cayenne has always had a high status in the eyes of domestic consumers. The reason is also related to the unique driving experience of the Porsche brand and the deeply customized optional service. After all, it is really difficult to buy an identical Porsche model.
Looking at the new car specifically, the biggest difference in the appearance of the new Porsche Cayenne compared to the current model is the replacement of a larger front air intake grille, and the taillight group at the rear of the car has also been changed to a fully penetrating design, which is much more recognizable than the current model.
In terms of interior design, combined with the previously exposed spy photos, the new Porsche Cayenne will adopt the latest family-style design style, with a center console shape that places greater emphasis on horizontal visual width. At the same time, the new electronic gear is integrated next to the central control screen, and the control button layout in the central aisle area will also be greatly adjusted.
The most crucial power part, the most attractive part of the new Porsche Cayenne is undoubtedly the upgrade of the power and chassis system. It is reported that the new Cayenne entry-level model is still equipped with a 3.0T engine, which will increase its maximum power to 354 horsepower and maximum torque to 500 Nm.
In addition, the new Cayenne S will be replaced by a 4.0T V8 engine to replace the current 2.9T engine, with a maximum power of 474 horsepower and a maximum torque of 599 Nm.
