2015款大众途安继上周在线发布后,本周亮相日内瓦车展。尽管新车长度增加130毫米,但车重却降低了62公斤,这主要归功于它所采用的MQB平台。新车有五座和七座两种版本,大众声称,新车具备了同级车最佳储物容积——1040立升,比老款车增加48立升,如果将后排椅背完全放平更可提升至1980立升。至于外观,新车采用渐进式改款,车身采用更锐利折线,整体仍保留方正造型,这可以确保这款MPV具备宽敞内部空间。未来大众还将推出更具吸引力的R Line版本,该车内外装都将获得升级。至于动力系统,大众提供了一系列汽油和柴油引擎,其中汽油引擎包括110马力1.2升、150马力1.4升和180马力1.8升TSI;而柴油机则包括110马力1.6、150/190马力2.0升TDI。所有引擎都搭配停启系统,车辆燃油经济性比老款车提升19%。消费者可以在五种信息娱乐系统中任选其一,其中三种高端版本提供苹果Car Play,谷歌安卓Auto和MirrorLink。另外还可选装声音放大器,它包括前置麦克风,主要便于前排乘客与后排乘客交流。大众将于今夏开始接受新款途安订单,随后将于下半年交付。
2015 Volkswagen Touran brings its larger footprint to Geneva
After making an appearance online last week, the all-new Volkswagen Touran has been unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show.
Despite being 130mm longer than its predecessor, the new Touran is actually 62 kg (136 lbs) lighter after making the switch to the MQB platform. It will be available in both 5- and 7-seat versions and according to Volkswagen it provides a best-in-class cargo capacity of 1,040 liters (+48 liters). Fold flat the rear seats and the trunk can stow as much as 1,980 liters of luggage.
There's not much to talk about in terms of design as the 2015 Touran adopts an evolutionary design with sharper lines creating a pleasant styling while retaining the boxy shape suitable for an MPV that wants to offer a spacious cabin. It will be available from day one in the more appealing R Line specification bringing exterior & interior styling enhancements.
Volkswagen will offer the new Touran with an assortment of gasoline and diesel engines, including a 1.2 TSI with 110 HP, a 1.4 TSI with 150 HP and a 1.8 TSI with 180 HP while on the diesel side there's going to be a 110 HP 1.6 TDI and a 2.0 TDI available with 150 HP & 190 HP. All engines benefit from a stop/start system and enable the people carrier to be up to 19 percent more fuel efficient than the model it replaces.
Customers will have to choose from five infotainment systems, with the top three ones offering Apple Car Play, Google Android Auto and MirrorLink. There's also an optional electronic voice amplification system consisting of a front-mounted microphone used by the driver or passenger to relay speech to the rear seat occupants through the speakers.
Volkswagen will start taking orders for the new Touran this summer while deliveries will begin in the second half of 2015.
