After Ford introduced the new Mondeo in China yesterday, another major automaker is presenting a product destined to be sold in the People's Republic. In case you're unfamiliar with the Lamando, it's essentially a CN-spec Jetta sold by the local SAIC-VW joint venture since 2014. The compact sedan is evolving into a more attractive and practical vehicle for this sleek liftback with matrix LED headlights reminding us of the ID. electric models.
In other words, the Lamando L and Jetta have the same relationship as the bigger Passat and Arteon. At 4,784 millimeters (188 inches) long, 1,831 mm (72 in) wide, and 1,469 mm (57.8 in) tall, the car is substantially larger than the Lamando three-box sedan and has a more generous wheelbase stretching at 2,731 mm (107.5 in). Despite the larger footprint, it still remains smaller than the Arteon in all dimensions.
