Volkswagen Lamando L is already available in Russia

An interesting liftback from the Volkswagen brand was brought to Russia. This is Lamando L - a model previously unknown to us.


The car is available - you can inspect it and even take a test drive. Only a potential buyer should initially tune in to a high cost. They want 3,45 million rubles for Volkswagen Lamando L.

The car was imported as used. But it is still new - the dealer claimed a mileage of 35 km. The car belongs to the class of mid-size Jetta-type sedans. The seller gives his own two-year warranty on all major components and assemblies.


Volkswagen Lamando L offered in Russia is already the second generation of the model. The first was produced in a sedan body. When sales began to fall, the manufacturer decided to make the look of the car more stylish and youthful. The change of generations took place about a year ago. The model is now available in a liftback body type, and its length has increased to 4,78 meters.

Volkswagen Lamando L is a car for the Chinese market, it is not officially sold anywhere else. In the second generation, the cars are positioned as the main competitor to models from Honda - we mean the aggressive Integra and Civic hatchbacks.

The appearance of the Volkswagen Lamando L has become more youthful. Particularly surprising are the frameless doors and the atypical design of the front of the car. The model looks frankly Asian, with characteristic slanted headlights and a huge grille. The classic German restraint in the design of the front end is gone. The car turned out flashy and aggressive.

Although the car was brought from China, it can be considered German. The car was produced in a joint venture with SAIC, under the supervision of experts from Volkswagen. The Germans care about their image and will not allow hack work. Yes, and China is no longer the same as before - modern factories amaze with the level of manufacturability.

Unlike the exterior, the interior of the car is quite restrained. Although, there is also something to see here - this is an electronic dashboard combined with a multimedia system in a single unit. Unusually for a German brand, it is without a visor and may not appeal to conservatives.


Options include a rearview camera, cruise control and driver assistance systems while driving. Front seats with electric adjustments.

Under the hood of the Volkswagen Lamando L brought to Russia, a turbocharged gasoline engine with a volume of 1,4 liters per 150 liters. With. The gearbox is a seven-speed "robot".

With a price of 3,45 million rubles, it is hardly worth hoping that the car will be in demand on the Russian market.
