2022 VW Lamando L for Chinese market

Although the demand for crossovers is expanding, there are markets that still value sedans. Thus, Volkswagen launched a special model on the Chinese market, intended specifically for Chinese customers. It is a 2022 VW Lamando L with five doors.

At first glance, certain similarities with the Arteon model can be noticed. The Lamando L is built on the MQB platform as is the Arteon, but somewhat smaller. The front of the car is similar to the model ID. 4 while at the rear there is a horizontal LED strip and a centrally placed Volkswagen logo.

Inside, elegant seats combine dark and light colors with red or blue details and stitching. In front of the driver is a 10-inch cluster combined with a 12-inch touchscreen infotainment system screen. Below the multimedia unit are ventilation openings and basic air conditioning controls.

The Volkswagen Lamando L is powered by a 1.4-liter TSI engine with 150 hp and 183 lb-ft (250 Nm) of torque. It reaches 62 mph in 8.5 seconds, and power is transmitted to the front wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.

Sales will begin in the next few months, and the price is currently unknown.
