For many joint venture brands, fuel vehicles are still an important sales **, for example, although Volkswagen has launched a number of pure electric vehicles in the Chinese market, but generally has not received much recognition from consumers, and the sales performance is relatively mediocre, while Lavida, Magotan and other fuel vehicles have always been hot, it can be said that in the fuel vehicle market, Volkswagen has indeed contributed a variety of classic models. And this year, Volkswagen Magotan will usher in a generational upgrade, a few days ago, the new generation of Magotan declaration information has also been **, I believe that it will soon usher in the release, listing.
For Volkswagen, the Magotan and Passat are its focus in the mid-size car market, but unlike the Chinese market, the Passat sedan has been announced last year to stop production in Europe, and will only retain the station wagon model, and in the North American market has also been discontinued in 2022, so the new generation of Passat sedan will be mainly for the Chinese market.
The resulting new Magotan and Passat will be launched this year, of which the new Passat will be launched in the third quarter, there is not much information yet**, the new Magotan declaration information has been a few days ago**, the first SOP body-in-white also rolled off the assembly line in January this year, so its launch time should be earlier than the new Passat.
For the replacement of Magotan, I believe that many consumers will also look forward to it, after all, the last replacement was in 2016. And the spy photos of the new Magotan have been ** last year, and this year it has been ** 20t vs. 1According to the declaration information of 5T, the new car will be younger than the current model, but the overall style does not deviate from the Volkswagen family, so it does not look too fresh.
Specifically, the front design of the new Magotan focuses on the sense of hierarchy, in which the upper grille is directly connected to the light clusters on both sides, and the chrome trim strip runs through it, so it will look more refined, and the lower surround is also integrated with chrome trim, and there are fang-like designs on both sides, which further strengthens the visual effect. However, depending on the version, the chrome trim on the front face will change to a blackened trim strip, which will look more sporty and can satisfy consumers with different preferences.
The side styling is modest, with a continuous taillight cluster at the rear, a transverse chrome trim strip that echoes the details of the front face, and a hidden exhaust at the bottom.
In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new car are 4990 1854 1487mm, and the wheelbase is 2871mm. Depending on the model version, the new car will be equipped with a sunroof, different styles of rims, etc.
In terms of interior, the new Magotan has subversive changes compared with the current model, the layout of the center console has been upgraded to be more simple and technological, which will be more in line with the aesthetics of today's consumers, equipped with a large-size floating central control screen, full LCD instruments, and a flat-bottomed steering wheel, and under the center control screen is the air conditioning outlet, in addition, there are not too many physical buttons on the center console, and the details are inclined to the driver's side. In addition to these visible changes, the all-new Magotan is expected to upgrade its intelligent performance as a replacement model, which is worth looking forward to.
In terms of power, the new car will be equipped with 15t vs. 20T engine, the maximum power is 118kW and 162kW respectively, compared with the current 14t vs. 20T power combination, the entry version of the new Magotan will be more powerful, and 20T is undoubtedly a performance responsibility, and of course, ** will be relatively higher.
Overall, the all-new Magotan has a younger appearance, a smarter interior, better power, and an upgraded size, which is indeed a comprehensive evolution compared to the current model. But today's medium-sized car market is also getting more and more volume, the new Magotan has to face the Accord that has been replaced, as well as the upcoming Camry, Passat and other opponents, of which the new Camry will be launched in March, I believe it is also the target of many consumers, so the pressure on the new Magotan should not be small.
According to online news, the new Magotan may be released at the Beijing Auto Show in April, so for consumers who are ready to buy a joint venture medium-sized car, are they willing to consider the new Accord, Camry, or wait for the new Magotan?
