The R-Line model adds a through air inlet shape to the front enclosure and uses a grid design, with an "R" logo on the left side of the front grille.

Lingjing is the first medium-and large-scale SUV under FAW-Volkswagen, and the world's largest SUV of the Volkswagen brand. It was launched in June 2021 and is a sister model to SAIC-Volkswagen Tuen. It is based on the Volkswagen MQB platform and provides 2.0T and 2.5T engines.

As the flagship model of FAW-Volkswagen, the overall shape of the range continues the family design style, the front face adopts the design language of Volkswagen SMV Concept model, the interior of the headlamp group uses LED light source, the daily running lights are connected with the chromium-plated strip of the intake grille, and the interior of the grille is decorated with similar wavy strips to enhance the exquisite feeling of the front face.

As a medium and large SUV, FAW-Volkswagen's main competitors include SAIC-Volkswagen Tuen, Ford Explorer, Buick Anke Flag and so on. For reference, from January to April 2024, range sales were 7083, Tuen 17444, explorers 6000 and Anke Banner 1328.

In terms of size, patrol can be said to be the sister model of SAIC-Volkswagen Tuen, which makes up for the market gap between the range and the exploration mountain. Although it is positioned as a medium and large SUV, the main competitor is still a joint venture medium-sized SUV, including Toyota Hanlanda, Buick Enkway, Ford Ruijie, etc., to achieve dimension reduction. Data show that from January to April 2024, 7083 vehicles were sold on patrol, compared with 22329 for Toyota Hanlanda and 19612 for Onkoway.

Generally speaking, in the medium and large SUV market segment, there are not many core products for fuel vehicles, and the sales of most models are relatively general, while the performance of new energy vehicles is more eye-catching, such as ideal L7/L8, M7 and other models that are much higher than traditional fuel vehicles. If the joint venture brand wants to continue to suppress its own brand, the medium and large SUV of 300000 yuan is very critical. For FAW-Volkswagen, the purpose of the model is to seize the market as much as possible. After the price reduction, the price and space advantage grabs part of the market of medium and large SUV and competes with the mainstream medium and large SUV.
