The 2024 Volkswagen Magotan 1.4T version has the following characteristics:
- Power System:
- Engine: Equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, which can output 150 horsepower. This power level is sufficient for daily urban commuting and general high-speed driving, able to meet the basic needs of most drivers. When accelerating, a certain sense of push-back can be felt, but compared to higher displacement versions, its power reserve is relatively weaker.
- Transmission: Matched with a 7-speed dry dual-clutch transmission. The advantages of this transmission are its fast shifting speed, which can improve fuel economy, and it can provide a relatively smooth shifting experience during normal driving. However, in some extreme situations, such as in congested traffic with frequent starts and stops, there may be a slight sense of jerk.
- Exterior Design:
- Overall Style: Maintains the consistent steady and 大气 (in Chinese, which means “imposing” or “stylish” and can be translated as “stylish” or “impressive” in English) style of the Volkswagen Magotan. The front face features a horizontal bar 进气格栅 (in Chinese, which means “air intake grille” and can be translated as “air intake grille”) with a large size, which is integrated with the sharp headlights, creating a strong visual impact and making the vehicle look more fashionable and refined.
- Side Lines: The body side lines are smooth. The lines extending from the front fender to the taillights are angular and connected to the door handles, not only increasing the layering sense of the body but also making the whole vehicle look more slender.
- Rear Design: The rear part of the vehicle is designed simply and generously. The taillight design is unique, and the recognition is high after being lit. The bilateral two-outlet exhaust layout adds a certain sense of sportiness to the vehicle.
- Interior Configuration:
- Interior Materials: The center console uses a large amount of soft materials and piano paint decorations, with good texture, enhancing the luxury feeling inside the car.
- Seats: The seats are comfortable and can provide good support for passengers. Some high-end models may be equipped with leather seats to further enhance the comfort and grade of the seats.
- Technology Configuration: Equipped with a full liquid crystal instrument panel, which can display rich vehicle information such as vehicle speed, fuel consumption, and navigation, allowing the driver to understand the vehicle’s running status at any time. The multimedia screen on the center console is of a moderate size and supports functions such as Bluetooth connection and mobile phone interconnection, meeting the driver’s entertainment and information needs.
- Space Performance:
- Seating Space: The vehicle has excellent body size. It is a 4-door 5-seat sedan, and the wheelbase reaches 2871mm, providing spacious seating space inside the car. The front row has ample space, and the driver can easily find a comfortable driving posture; the rear row space is also relatively abundant, and even passengers with a relatively tall height will not feel crowded when sitting in the rear, and there is a certain amount of headroom and legroom.
- Storage Space: There are multiple storage compartments inside the car for passengers to store small items such as mobile phones, keys, and water cups. The trunk has a large volume of 520L, which can meet the storage needs for daily travel and long-distance trips.
- Safety Performance:
- Active Safety: Equipped with a series of active safety systems such as brake assist, body stability control system, and tire pressure monitoring, which can detect potential dangers in time during driving and take corresponding measures to improve driving safety.
- Passive Safety: It has a high-strength body structure and is equipped with multiple airbags such as the driver and passenger airbags, side airbags, and head airbags, which can provide effective protection for passengers in the event of a collision.
- Price Positioning: It is the entry-level version in the 2024 Magotan series, and the price is relatively affordable.
