Sedans like they used to make: Volkswagen Lavida vs. Lamando
The sedan form continues to buck the SUV trend at Volkswagen Philippines. Alongside the T-Cross, the local lineup of the German make also consists of the Santana subcompact, and the Lavida and Lamando compact and midsize sedans.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
What are the highlights of the Volkswagen Lavida and Lamando?
The Lavida is equipped with dual-climate control, while the Lamando carries a panoramic sunroof.How much is the Lavida and Lamando?
The Lavida retails for P1.171 million for the sole variant, while the Lamando goes for P1.569 million and P1.703 million for its two variants.While the Santana is positioned as the entry-level VW, the Lavida and Lamando seem to be tailored for families and executives. The two sedans offer a set qualities that make them ideal for kids and company bigwigs alike.
The Lavida is equipped with leather seats, a leather-wrapped multifunctional steering wheel, leather-wrapped door trims, a leather-wrapped center armrest with cupholders, glove box with cooler, and a sunroof.
Adding to the list of creature comforts is the Climatronic air-conditioning system. This technology allows separate temperature settings to be made on the driver and passenger sides of the car.
Providing comfort as well as safety is the Lavida's cruise control which works electronically to help maintain the car traveling at a pre-set speed.
Meanwhile, the Lamando's sleeker exterior comes equipped with an upscale interior. The car has an Active Info Display, which shows crucial trip information in high-resolution and dynamic color, and a 9.2-inch infotainment audio system that's linked to eight speakers.
Leather wraps the Lamando's seats, while a panoramic sunroof makes an appearance in the top model.
With the Lamando's Electronic Stabilization Program (ESP), possible skidding, wheel spin, or over- or understeering will be kept at bay. Side curtain airbags for both the front and rear occupants are also fitted.
Under their hoods, the Lavida and Lamando are both powered by a 1.4-liter turbo engine in different states of tune. Both engines are paired to a seven-speed dual clutch transmission, which promise to gel together the convenience of an automatic and efficiency of a manual.
The spec sheets of the Lavida and Lamando — in their best, top-spec forms — show that going against the grain with these old-fashioned sedans is hardly a bad thing.
