The position of Volkswagen Zapat in the automotive world is probably between Zhang Sanfeng’s position in Yitian Dragon Slayer. Even if you have never seen Zhang Zhenren make a move, you must have heard of his Tai Chi sword fame. In the early years, people regarded Zapat as the first choice for home travel, but as our economic dragon took off, more and more people began to choose BBA as a means of transportation, and the discussion of Volkswagen Zapat was far less than before.

However, Volkswagen Zapat has won a stable victory. The reputation it has accumulated over the past few decades can ensure that it has a staggering sales volume in both domestic and foreign markets. Today, we will evaluate this veteran powerhouse to see how much it still has.

We take the Volkswagen 2023 model as an example. In the front car part, Volkswagen continues the previous point-like grille design. Compared with the black grille, this design mode is more personalized and can improve the recognition. Using the popular through-type light group and equipped with a slender LED light strip, this is the usual design method of Volkswagen’s new models, which can enhance the overall sense of mobility of the vehicle.

On the side of the body, Volkswagen uses a slip-back design, which extends backwards in the C-pillar part, and the inclination of the A-pillar is more open, making the body low and slender as a whole. The length, width and height of the body are 4948mm, 1836mm, 1469mm, and the wheelbase is 2871mm. As a medium-sized car for both domestic and commercial use, the size is just right. The waist line of the vehicle is very straight, and the door handle does not choose a hidden design. It comes standard with 18-inch wheels, giving people a dynamic visual experience. The tires used are the Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance Royal Ride II generation, which focuses on silent ability and wetland braking ability, which can greatly enhance the driving experience of the owner.

At the rear of the car, the 2023 Volkswagen still uses a through-type light group, which echoes the front and rear, making it quite beautiful.

Entering the interior of the car, the biggest feeling is that the vehicle has a good riding space. A person with a height of 180cm sits in the car, the seat is adjusted to the minimum distance of one punch or more in the head, and when entering the rear row, there is still more than four fingers in the head. The legs can be stretched freely. The only fly in the ointment is that the rear floor mats are obviously raised, which is not suitable for long-distance sitting.

The vehicle also has good storage space, including a mobile phone charging pad, a front cup holder, and a rear armrest storage slot. In short, there are 7 to 8 spaces in the car for mobile phones and water bottles.

The 2023 Volkswagen Zapat does not use Volkswagen’s latest floating screen interior design, but instead trends towards a practical style, serving the driver. Compared with the old model, the three-frame multi-function steering wheel is more sturdy and relaxed, and the perforated skin is designed on both sides to improve the grip. The multi-function buttons on it are clear-grained, and there will be no accidental touch. The multimedia control is on both sides of the steering wheel. Unfortunately, there is no mute button on it.

The full LCD dashboard is not only large in size, but more importantly, it has a good reflection suppression effect, which can basically avoid the influence of sunlight. The car uses Volkswagen’s latest MOS4.0 system, which has wireless CARPLAY, in-car interconnection and other functions. It can be automatically connected when boarding the car, and the response speed is good.

In part, it is a huge advantage of the 2023 Volkswagen. The front seat is soft and comfortable, and it is equipped with a number of functions, including massage, heating, ventilation, etc. It is worth mentioning that the seat also has a memory function, which is very convenient. The rear seats are more comfortable than the front, especially the headrest, which is very soft and has a good support function. The rear seat armrests, both in height and angle, are impeccable, which shows that the designers have made great efforts for this.

In addition to the seats, the other configurations in the rear row are not perfunctory. The new car has an independent partition air conditioner, the seats can also be heated, and it has an independent USB power interface, a panoramic sunroof, and an electric rear parasol.

The new car’s powertrain is also not to be underestimated. It has three different powertrains for consumers to choose from. Among them, the 208TSI is equipped with a 1.4T engine, which matches a 7-speed dry dual-clutch gearbox, while the 330TSI and 380TSI are equipped with a 2.0T engine, which matches a 7-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox. According to the data website, the 330TSI has a maximum power of 186 horsepower and a maximum torque of 320 Nm, which is quite good as a scooter.

The suspension structure of the vehicle is stable, and it is a combination of front McPherson independent suspension and rear multi-link independent suspension, which can adapt to a variety of road conditions and weather.

The fuel tank of the Volkswagen Zapat has a capacity of 68.5L, which is quite impressive. It can reach more than 800 kilometers when fully refueled, which is enough for ordinary office workers to drive for two or three weeks without any problems. In terms of fuel economy, the Volkswagen Zapat belongs to the first gear.

At present, the official guide price of Volkswagen Zapat is 18.19 to 252,900 yuan. It is difficult to find a model with the same configuration at the same price, and a model with the same configuration is much higher than it. It can be said that Volkswagen has unparalleled cost performance. On the data website, it was even given a high score of 4.39. Many BBA models only have an average score of 3.8, which is enough to see the word-of-mouth of the car. Vehicle preservation is worth a try.
