On the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the SAIC Volkswagen Lamando's launch and its cumulative sales exceeding one million units, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's "Road Motor Vehicle Manufacturers and Products Announcement" published application images of the new Lamando L. Positioned as an A+ segment sedan, the new car inherits the reputation of being "the most stylish Volkswagen" and achieves another upgrade in appearance; in terms of power, it also makes a comprehensive leap, fully maximizing its sports coupe attributes. The new car will inject fresh momentum into the A+ segment market and provide consumers with a younger, sportier, and more personalized travel choice.
Appearance enthusiasts rejoice: upgraded looks open a new realm of sporty aesthetics
According to the application images, the new Lamando L has comprehensively advanced in exterior design. Through the perfect fusion of trendy digital aesthetics and supercar sports genes, its styling is younger, sportier, and more avant-garde, with an even richer "German flavor."
The new car has body dimensions of 4791mm*1831mm*1448mm and a wheelbase of 2731mm. The all-new trendy digital supercar front face adopts sword-brow, star-eye LED headlights, paired with an L-shaped flying-wing matrix grille in two decorative styles—chrome and bright black—as well as a muscular, wrapped hood with character lines. Complemented by a through-type LED light strip and an illuminated logo, it delivers a highly sporty and futuristic visual impact; the body's fastback streamlined roof and continuous powerful waistline create a sharp, dive-forward coupe stance. Paired with the segment's only frameless doors and dynamic wheels, it achieves a delicate balance between sportiness and quality; the all-new wide-body rear is compact and pert, with pulse-style streaming LED taillights and an illuminated logo echoing the front, combined with a hatchback electric large tailgate, an integrated dynamic spoiler, and a hidden exhaust system, shaping the entire vehicle into a unified and ultimate German-style sporty coupe character, opening a new realm of sporty aesthetics.
Performance enthusiasts praise: star "heart" achieves a new height in power and efficiency
In terms of power, the new Lamando L has also undergone comprehensive innovation. With the support of a star "heart," power output and efficiency have been raised to a new height, fully maximizing its sports coupe attributes.
The new Lamando L will be equipped with the same 1.5T EVO II efficient engine as the Tharu family. This engine has a maximum power of 118KW and a maximum torque of 250N·m. It is worth mentioning that this engine also won the 2024 "Top Ten Engines and Hybrid Systems" award, making it a truly authoritative, certified star "heart." The honor and reputation stem from its many "black technologies," including the same high-efficiency VTG variable-geometry turbocharger as Porsche, the same high-compression Miller cycle as the EA888, as well as a 350bar ultra-atomized fuel injection system, a continuously variable flow oil pump, and a MAP dual-channel thermal management system. While efficiently and stably delivering strong power, it also takes low fuel consumption into account and can use 92-octane gasoline, helping the new Lamando L not only fully meet daily practicality but also more easily gallop on the track of life.
A sneak peek at the surprise! 2.0T makes a heavyweight addition, creating a new era for A+ segment coupes
Even more surprising is that, in addition to the new Lamando L 1.5T model announced by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology this time, the new Lamando L will also later offer a 2.0T model equipped with the same engine as the Golf GTI.
This model is named "New Lamando L GTS." In terms of styling, it not only offers a black sporty cool-black package with black grille, rearview mirrors, roof, and wheels, but also features supercar-style dual exhaust pipes. Combined with the heavyweight addition of the same 2.0T engine as the Golf GTI and an ultra-strong exhaust note, it delivers a more passionate coupe experience. With its ultra-top appearance and ultra-strong power, the new Lamando L GTS is expected to create a new era for A+ segment coupes with an "ultra-dominant" stance.
When it was first introduced in 2015, the Lamando opened up a brand-new segmented market with the concept of a "wide-body coupe," becoming a pioneering symbol of Volkswagen's rejuvenation and sportiness, and was nicknamed "Spicy Mantou" by young consumers pursuing youthfulness and individuality. The Lamando has also repeatedly served as the dedicated race car of the SAIC Volkswagen 333 Racing Team, helping the team achieve brilliant results in the CTCC China Touring Car Championship. As of now, the Lamando's cumulative sales have exceeded 1 million units. On the occasion of its 10th anniversary of launch, the new Lamando L, "sharpened over ten years," will repay consumers with comprehensively renewed strength, providing a unique travel choice for consumers in the A+ segment sedan market who pursue sportiness, individuality, and appearance.
In 2025, SAIC Volkswagen's fuel vehicle offensive is advancing triumphantly. Not long ago, as soon as the Teramont Pro was launched, it reshaped the benchmark in the mid-to-large SUV market; with the publication of the new Lamando L application images, SAIC Volkswagen is also ready to make its move in the A+ segment sedan market. In the future, SAIC Volkswagen will continue to expand its traditional advantages in the fuel vehicle field, adhere to "advancing oil and electricity together," and achieve "dual gains in oil and electricity."
More detailed information about the new Lamando L will be revealed successively. Stay tuned!
