Dual-power combination meets personalized needs. GTS unlocks pure driving pleasure

The GT never dies, uncompromising in pursuit of passion.
The all-new Lamando L also offers a 1.5T version. This version, while comprehensively upgraded from the original 1.4T engine, features the EA211 1.5T EVO Ⅱ, known as the "King of Net Efficiency." Equipped with Porsche's VTG variable-geometry turbocharger and other technologies, it boasts high efficiency and low fuel consumption, and can even run on 92-octane gasoline, achieving a measured fuel consumption of only around 0.5 cents per kilometer.
The foundation for unleashing personalized driving pleasure lies in a "good drive." The all-new Lamando L's handling is also remarkably GT-like, with precise German chassis tuning allowing for a seamless immersion between driver and vehicle. Its chassis, meticulously tuned through nearly a hundred different approaches, was carefully considered during development for China's unique operating conditions. Combined with the front McPherson and rear multi-link independent suspension, standard on all models, it offers a balanced balance of handling and ride comfort.
The high-looking wide-body coupe has a full sense of personality and the official modification kit ignites the passion for cars
As the epitome of "popular beauty," the all-new Lamando L maintains its wide-body coupe styling, featuring rare frameless doors and a large hatchback tailgate. Its streamlined fastback roof and flowing, flowing waistline complement each other, creating a striking coupe-like presence from the moment it debuts. The all-new Lamando L GTS further enhances its character with an exclusive black body kit, red GTS tailgate, and dual exhaust tips, making it an instantly recognizable performance vehicle.
The all-new Lamando L's striking wide-body coupe design offers immense tuning potential. SAIC Volkswagen is providing young customers with diverse automotive experiences through its open tuning ecosystem. At the auto show, SAIC Volkswagen unveiled the all-new Lamando L official modified model, which captured the show's attention. Its design reflects the wide-body coupe DNA. At the front, a sporty grille complements the wide body styling. Along the sides, sculpted fenders and fender flares create a distinct racing aesthetic. The vehicle's black and white gradient racing paint scheme evokes the flow of air on a racetrack, creating a strong sense of speed. The red stripes throughout the paint pay tribute to GT culture. SAIC Volkswagen also officially launched the all-new Lamando L official tuning kit, including a front lip, rear spoiler, side skirts, a small spoiler, and exhaust tips.

The all-new Lamando L, with its low-drag coupe design, powerful powertrain, precise German chassis tuning, and high-strength steel body, provides excellent preconditioning for racing modifications. Since its entry into the CTCC in 2016, the Lamando has been the mainstay of the SAIC Volkswagen 333 Racing Team, achieving numerous victories, including race wins, Grand Slams, and overall championships. At the 2025 CTCC Ordos, the Lamando L powered driver Gao Huayang's comeback from last place on the grid to victory, creating a "real-life racing experience" that resonated deeply with drivers.
At the launch event, the all-new Lamando L GTS race car was officially unveiled. The new livery continues the 333 team's Peking Opera mask tradition, featuring a navy blue as its primary color, infused with vibrant red accents.
