Golf jialv PK Langxing who is a good partner in life？

　　Golf Jialv (referred to as Jialv) is a very interesting urban multi-functional hatchback under FAW-Volkswagen, which takes both sports and practicality into account. The front face of Jialv adopts the latest design language of Volkswagen, which not only maintains the affinity with golf, but also has great personality and recognition. Today, the contrast model, SAIC-Volkswagen Langxing, praised its tail design from the initial stage of listing, and Langxing did have a plump and round hip. Today, we will choose two models of Jialv and Langxing, both of which are more than 160,000 yuan in price, to make a comparison and see which of the two hatchbacks of Volkswagen brand is the best companion in daily life.

　

　　Comparison between power and chassis: differences in demands

　　At present, there are 8 models of Golf Jialv on sale, with a guide price of 13.19-197,900 yuan, equipped with 3 engines and 4 power options, namely, 1.6L naturally aspirated engine with 110 horsepower (2 models), 1.2T turbocharged engine with 110 horsepower but stronger torque (1 model) and 1.4T turbocharged engine with 131 horsepower and 150 horsepower. Langxing has nine models with two kinds of power, and the guide price is 11.29-16.29 million yuan, which are 110 horsepower 1.6L naturally aspirated (5 models) and 131 horsepower 1.4T turbocharged (4 models). It is not difficult to see that Jialv’s power selection is more abundant, and it focuses on TSI turbocharged engine, while Langxing does not have 1.2TSI and high-power version of 1.4TSI engine, and its power is relatively conventional. The gap in power determines that the overall price range of Langhang is slightly lower than that of Jialv.

　　Jialv has two suspension configurations. The 1.4TSI models are all front McPherson independent suspension and rear multi-link independent suspension, while the other models are front McPherson independent suspension and rear torsion beam semi-independent suspension. Langxing is all the former McPherson independent suspension and the rear compound torsion beam semi-independent suspension, and the same is true for the top models with more than 160,000.

　　The comparison models we chose, Golf Jialv 230TSI Auto-enterprising and Langxing 230TSI DSG Deluxe Edition, are all EA211 1.4TSI engines in terms of power, and the transmission is also the same 7-speed DSG dual clutch, while Jialv adopts rear independent suspension, which shows the dynamic connotation and is slightly better in driving experience and riding comfort.

　

　　Comparison of ride space: the car is not small

　　In terms of body size, the length, width and height of Jialv are 4348*1807*1574mm, and the length, width and height of Langxing are 4445 * 1765 * 1485 mm.. Although the body of Langxing is longer, the body of Jialv has been heightened and enlarged, and its width and height are more advantageous. In terms of wheelbase, Langxing is only 2610mm, while Jialv has reached 2680mm. Therefore, although Jialv is short, the ride space is larger than Langxing.

　　Due to the increase in the height of the roof, Jialv gives drivers and passengers more head space. In addition, I have to say that the second row seat of Jialv has angle adjustment and 180mm forward and backward movement range. This detail considered for the second row passengers greatly improves the comfort and convenience of the rear row.

　

　　Storage/trunk space comparison: practicality first

　　I feel that Jialv’s storage capacity is very strong. There are as many as 24 storage spaces in the car: the instrument desk storage box and the co-driver storage bag, which can quickly and safely store small objects such as sunglasses, wallets, keys and mobile phones, which makes Jialv’s storage arbitrary. In addition, 1.5L beverage bottles can be placed in the front door and 1.0L beverage bottles can be placed in the back door of the door panel, which provides practical storage space. The storage space in the glove box and the four-door partition is also very delicate, which not only has practical opening and depth of the space, but also uses the flocking fabric package inside the space to effectively protect the safety of passengers’ storage items. In addition, practical storage space is also provided above the instrument panel (version without center speaker) and in the door panel. Langxing has a slight shortage of storage in the car.

　　On the index of trunk volume, the standard state of Jialv is 500 liters. The trunk space of Langxing in the standard state is 412 liters, which is still slightly inferior. If the rear seats of Jialv are completely put down, and the expansion space is fully released, the trunk volume can reach an astonishing 1,520 liters, and it will be more convenient to place large items. However, the rear seats of Langxing cannot be completely leveled, which naturally limits the expansion of loading space.

　

　　Interior contrast: design competition

　　The interior design of the two models has the distinctive features of the Volkswagen brand, which also makes them have some similarities in visual perception, but they can still feel their respective personalities. Jialv is consistent with Volkswagen’s latest design language, adopting a lot of straight lines and corners, and its overall style is more tough and energetic. Langxing, on the other hand, continues the more traditional round style, which is quite satisfactory as a whole, and enhances some texture through detail decoration.

　　However, the Deluxe Edition model of Langxing 230TSI DSG uses leather seats and has the function of heating the front seats, while the Golf Jialv 230TSI is a fabric seat, and the heating of the front seats is also optional.

　

Functional equipment comparison: each has its own emphasis

　　In terms of functional equipment, the two products, both of which are Volkswagen brands, also have a lot in common, such as ESP body stability system (including ABS, ASR, HBA and other extended functions), MKB multiple collision prevention system, RKA tire pressure monitoring, front and rear 8-probe parking radar and other powerful safety configurations, MIB multimedia system with 5.0-inch touch color screen, and practical configurations such as boneless wiper with rain sensor and CLEAN AIR high-efficiency air conditioning filter.

　　Besides, there are some differences between them. Langxing 230TSI DSG Deluxe Edition has KESSY keyless entry/one-button start function, electric adjustment of driver’s seat, electric folding of exterior rearview mirror, automatic air conditioning and other convenient functions. The Golf Jialv 230TSI is more pleasing than the driving experience. It has a rare configuration of full-size panoramic sunroof and a rear air outlet, which fully takes care of the comfort of the rear row. In addition, the rich configuration of Autohold automatic parking, SSR engine start-stop and energy recovery system also highlights the characteristics of Jialv as a new member of the golf family.

　

　　Summary:

　　Through the above introduction, I believe everyone has a certain understanding of the similarities and differences between the two models. The power system, configuration, pricing and even the current sales volume of the two cars are very similar, which will inevitably make consumers hesitate. However, in terms of overall feeling, practicality and details, the author thinks that Jialv has done a better job. After all, Jialv is a new car that just went on the market this year, and it has outstanding highlights in design and configuration. However, after the redesign, Langxing has not yet launched a replacement product, and there is still room for further optimization of the user experience.
