Both Lingdong and Bora are best-selling models of compact cars. The following is a comparison of the volume and configuration of the two models.
(1) Comparative models: The guide price of the 2018 Lingdong 1.6L automatic 15th anniversary special edition is 119,800, and the guide price of the 2019 Bora 1.5L automatic comfort model is 136,800. The Bora 19 model is a facelifted model launched in June 2018, while the Lingdong is a mature model that has been in the market for many years.
(2) Power system: Ling Ling 1.6L 6-speed manual transmission, Bora 1.5L 6-speed manual transmission, Ling Ling has a large displacement and is slightly ahead in terms of power and torque. Lingdong direct injection fuel supply and Bora multi-point electronic injection meet the No. 92 fuel standard. The fuel economy of Bora 1.5L is better than that of Lingdong.
(3) Car purchase budget: Based on the recent market conditions in Wuhan in December, the naked car price of Lingdong is 89,000, and the price of Bora automatic comfortable naked car is about 114,000. The price difference between naked cars is too large and there is no comparison. sex. The price of Bora automatic fashionable naked car is around 102,000, which is comparable in price, but the configuration is a disadvantage.
(4) Car buying advice: Pay attention to cost-effectiveness and choose Lingdong. If the car purchase budget is around 120,000-130,000, you can consider the 2019 Bora 1.5L automatic standard or mid-range comfort models.
Bora initially entered the country as a "driver's car". The first-generation Bora was equipped with a 1.8T engine, matched with 5MT and 4AT transmissions. Its strong power and perfect control subverted people's inherent concepts of cars at that time. It turns out that driving can be so fun.
However, the Bora back then did have a great background. It was derived from the PQ34 and was called the Jetta A4 overseas, a car that shared parts with the Audi A3. Although priced at 193,300-239,800 yuan, more than 50,000 units were sold in one year.
The current Bora comes from Volkswagen’s MQB platform. But neither the 1.5L and 1.4T engines nor the torsion beam rear suspension can be compared to the old Bora back then.
The predecessor of Lingdong is actually Elantra. When the old Elantra entered China, it won the favor of many consumers with its durable quality and high configuration. Especially the Elantra taxis running all over the streets are like mobile advertisements, proving how popular it is.
However, with the gradual intensification of competition in the domestic automobile market and the overall decline of Korean cars in the country, Elantra's sales are also in jeopardy. So Hyundai Group changed the name of Elantra and successively launched Langdong, Yuedong, and Lingdong. Although they all had decent sales in the market, they could never achieve the glory of Elantra in the past. The two cars are popular models, leading the price to be more economical.
The 2020 Lingdong 1.5L CVT Zhixuan·Elite model has a manufacturer’s guide price of 119,800 yuan, a market discount of 32,000 yuan, and a dealer’s reference price of 87,800 yuan. It is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine with a maximum power of 115 horsepower and a maximum torque of 144N·m. It is matched with a CVT continuously variable transmission. The actual fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is about 6.4L.
Bora 2021 1.5L Automatic Fashion Smart Connected Edition has a manufacturer’s guide price of 123,000 yuan, a market discount of 30,000 yuan, and a dealer’s reference price of 93,000 yuan. It is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine with a maximum power of 113 horsepower and a maximum torque of 145N·m. It is matched with a 6-speed automatic manual transmission. The actual fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is about 7.3L. Lingdong has richer configurations, while Bora comes standard with LED light sources.
Although the actual price of the leading 1.5L CVT Zhixuan·Elite is 5,000 yuan cheaper, it uses 17-inch large wheels. The Bora 2021 1.5L automatic fashionable smart connected version is The smaller 15-inch wheels make the overall appearance more sporty and atmospheric.
Both cars are equipped with main and passenger airbags, the simplest safety configuration, and the Lingdong has front side airbags. In terms of parking assistance, Bora is equipped with rear parking radar, and the Lingdong 1.5L CVT Zhixuan Elite model is also equipped with a reversing image in addition to rear radar.
Both cars have relatively backward manual air conditioners, but the Lingdong has the thoughtful configuration of rear air outlets, which improves the comfort of rear passengers to a certain extent.
Lingdong's multi-function control steering wheel is made of genuine leather, which not only improves convenience, but also adds texture and class. However, the steering wheel only supports up and down adjustments. It seems not easy to adjust a very comfortable driving angle.
In terms of high and low light sources, Bora’s 2021 1.5L Automatic Fashion Smart Edition uses the current mainstream LED light source, while the 1.5L CVT Zhixuan Elite model is still halogen. Daytime running lights are all configured, but Lingli has two additional lighting functions: automatic headlights and delayed headlight off.
Bora automatic parking (AUTOHOLD) is very practical in urban stop-and-go driving environments, eliminating the trouble of shifting gears and pulling the handbrake back and forth.
The one-click lifting and lowering function of the entire vehicle window supports the one-click lifting of the windows, which avoids the driver's excessive attention from opening and closing the windows and improves the safe driving factor.
The exterior rearview mirror heating function can quickly heat the mirror surface through the heater behind the lens, thereby removing rain or fog on the mirror surface, saving the driver the trouble of frequently manually wiping the lens, allowing the driver to focus more for driving. The space is relatively spacious, and the Bora design is more reasonable.
The body dimensions of the Lingdong 1.5L CVT Zhixuan Elite are 4610/1800/1450mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2700mm. The interior space is relatively spacious, and the front seats are supportive. The sex was good. The extended wheelbase brings relatively sufficient rear legroom. Due to the fastback shape, the head of the rear seat is basically in the position of the rear windshield, which is not safe. The rear seats are on the hard side and the cushions are on the short side. The raised middle floor of the rear row is not high, and the 458L trunk is much smaller than the trunk of the Bora 506L.
The length, width and height of the Bora 1.5L Automatic Fashion Smart Edition are 4663mmx1815mmx1462mm, and the wheelbase is 2688mm. In terms of space, it basically meets the space requirements of current mainstream compact family sedans. Since the front end of the car is short and the rear wheels are placed forward, the rear space performance of Bora is very good. Sitting in the back row, there will be no feeling of crowding or oppression whether on the top of your head or on your legs.
The plastic steering wheel and fabric seats are a bit plain but they can also provide good support to the body. There is a relatively high bulge in the middle of the rear floor, which is not friendly to the middle passenger. In addition, the rear armrest and cup holder are reduced, which reduces the riding comfort to a certain extent. The driving experience of both cars is mainly comfortable and smooth.
Bora’s 1.5L naturally aspirated engine has a maximum output of 116 horsepower and a maximum torque of 150N·m. Judging from the actual driving performance, the Bora has relatively strong power in the starting stage, and the low-speed shifting is very smooth, with almost no feeling of frustration.
If you press the accelerator deeply when accelerating, you will still feel that the power is not enough. Even if the gearbox quickly downshifts, the engine roars instantly and the push-back feeling is obviously weakened. When overtaking at high speed, you need to make a good amount of advance. preparation.
In terms of gearbox, the 1.5L naturally aspirated engine is matched with a 6-speed automatic manual gearbox. This gearbox prefers economical shifting logic and linear power output, which is more suitable for gentle driving.
When driving through the city at low speeds, the power combination of the 1.5L naturally aspirated engine and CVT gearbox brings a comfortable and smooth driving experience.
When the speed reaches more than 80km/h, the engine power shows insufficient stamina. If you want to accelerate again, you must step on the accelerator deeply. When overtaking on the high speed, you need to make a good advance.
When the vehicle is driving at high speed, wind noise and tire noise are more obvious.
Summary:
Due to the launch of the new Elantra, Lingdong is now in a state of discontinuation of production and sale. The market discount of 32,000 yuan also makes the current Lingdong very cost-effective. The CVT uses a hinged structure, which is suitable for transmitting large torque and is not prone to slipping. The 1.5L CVT powertrain has high power smoothness, and the fuel consumption is as low as about 6.4L per 100 kilometers. Considering the price of 80,000 yuan, it is still very cost-effective as a household grocery shopping cart.
As a German car, Bora is still superior in terms of chassis tuning and driving quality. Although the powertrain of the 1.5L Aisin 6-speed automated manual transmission does not bring any sense of control, it has stood the test of time and is durable. If you care about the brand and drive a lot at high speed, then spend a few thousand dollars more on the Bora!

In terms of power configuration, the engine is equipped with a 1.5 naturally aspirated engine, using multi-point electronic injection technology. The transmission is a 6-speed automatic manual with an output of 116 horsepower. It is front-wheel drive and has a MacPherson strut front suspension.

Automatic air conditioning, temperature zone control, rear exhaust vents, etc.
The above are the configurations of the two cars. Hyundai Lingli has the advantage in terms of power and economy, and the interior configurations are also rich. However, I recommend the Volkswagen Bora more. Considering the stability of the car and your own later maintenance costs, you need to make a choice based on your own needs when purchasing. Thank you for reading and your advice.
The two models of Bora and Lingdong have their own merits. The Bora is better than the Lingdong in terms of workmanship and materials, vehicle shock absorption effect, and vehicle driving texture. This is the advantage of Volkswagen. , it’s just that the 1.5 self-priming model is less powerful.
Lingdong has a younger appearance and interior design, and is very cost-effective. This is an advantage of Korean cars. The 1.6 and 1.4T engines are both very powerful and have low fuel consumption. As for which one to choose, I prefer Bora. If you like cheap price and high configuration, then choose Lingdong.
Personally, I think Volkswagen is better. After all, German cars have certain technical support. Korean cars may have more price advantages.
Personally, I think Volkswagen Bora is better, and modern cars do not maintain their value.
Buy a new car from Volkswagen, buy a second-hand car from Lingdong. I heard from Volkswagen car owners that the car is old and has many problems and burns oil. I heard the car repairman said that modern cars do not burn oil, have fewer problems and are cheaper to maintain later. You know what I'm talking about, right?
It depends on your age. Uncle Bora is good, and the Lingran is easy to drive. Except that the standard is not as good as that of the Volkswagen, the Elantra is also very durable and durable.
Hi, first of all, let’s talk about these two models Both cars are compact cars of the same level. If you want to choose between these two cars, I still recommend Lingdong. After all, the former global sales runner-up is much better than the Chinese special version of Volkswagen in terms of chassis and durability ( After all, the Lingdong is a global car.) If you have to choose the Volkswagen, you should choose the Sagitar. After all, the Sagitar is a truly global car. Even the crash test of the global car [Tiguan L] is the same as that of Baojun. Think about the consequences of a special car.) Then why choose Hyundai? In fact, before the crash results of China Insurance Research Institute came out, I also liked Volkswagen quite a lot. Yes, but after the collision results came out, my God, this result is a little better than the 60,000 yuan Baojun 510, which is unbearable, so if I personally recommend it, it is Hyundai Leading. After all, I haven’t participated in the test, so we don’t know what the results are. I know, so just take it as psychological comfort
Hello everyone, my name is Fengzi, and I am a car mechanic.
As a car mechanic, I don’t have fancy words to describe these two cars, but from the perspective of later vehicle maintenance, I recommend choosing the Lingdong. The overall quality performance of Korean cars is not worse than that of Volkswagen Bora, and as time goes by, Volkswagen has a common problem, that is, the older the car is, the less it maintains its value, and the quality performance is also incomparable with Korean cars. .
In terms of overall workmanship, Volkswagen’s craftsmanship is impeccable, especially in terms of gap treatment. Bora was indeed a good car when it was new, but as time goes by, the Volkswagen model that Bora belongs to becomes obviously noisy when starting up, and the whole car feels old when driving, but you can't detect it when you go to a repair shop to check it. Too many problems, this is a strange phenomenon among the public.
Although the Korean brand that Lingdong belongs to is not as good as Volkswagen in terms of craftsmanship, its quality is not inferior to that of the German brand. As the fifth largest automobile manufacturer in the world, South Korea has a complete automobile industry chain, with its own core components such as engines, MTs, and ATs, and has parts suppliers like Mobis unicorn. Korean car-making concepts are somewhat simple and durable. Compared with the same level, Korean accessories are relatively cheaper. This is a major advantage of Korean cars. For car owners, later maintenance is important.
My name is Fengzi, and I am a car mechanic. Based on my past repair experience, buying a car is about fate.
