Following the declaration of the brand-new FAW-Volkswagen Magotan in the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology not long ago, a few days ago, we got the latest real photos of a new car from relevant channels. After the replacement, the new Magotan has made great adjustments to the exterior and interior, and adopted the exclusive design of China market, while the body size has also been greatly improved. For reference, the price range of the 2023 Magotan currently on sale is 186,900-253,900 yuan.
Judging from the pictures of the real car, the front face of the new Magotan adopts a square air intake grille, and the internal Volkswagen logo extends through chrome-plated strips to both sides and is connected with the flat headlight group, effectively stretching the visual width of the front face. The lower grille is also decorated with penetrating chrome-plated strips, and is decorated with "C"-shaped guide grooves on both sides. The convex front lip at the bottom brings a certain sporty atmosphere, and the whole front face presents a rich sense of layering.
The side shape of the car body is still dominated by calm atmosphere, and Volkswagen’s iconic penetrating waistline is not absent. However, the chrome trim on the side skirt is cancelled, and the wheels with new shapes are replaced, with different styles to choose from. Although the side hasn’t changed much, it has been combined with the front face of the new style, which has improved the youthful fashion atmosphere.
The tail of the new Magotan is equipped with a penetrating taillight, which is also a popular family design. The two sides of the light strip are equipped with segmented and X-shaped combined light sources, which have high recognition after lighting. The English logo of "MAGOTAN" continues to be added below the Volkswagen logo, and the style of the rear enclosure echoes the front face, supplemented by the penetrating red reflective trim. In addition, a matte blackening kit is also available, showing a certain sports orientation.
In terms of body size, the declared length, width and height of the new car are 4990/1854/1487mm and the wheelbase is 2871mm respectively. For reference, the length, width and height of the Magotan currently on sale are 4866/1832/1479 mm and the wheelbase is 2871 mm. In contrast, the length of the new car is increased by 124mm, the width is increased by 22mm, the height is increased by 8mm, and the wheelbase remains unchanged. In addition, 17-inch and 18-inch wheels are available.
At present, there are no pictures of the new Magotan car, but the new car should be similar to the design of the overseas version of the new Passat. The most striking feature of the whole interior is the large-size suspended central control panel, which is really rare for Volkswagen brands. The full LCD instrument, air conditioning outlet and black decorative board running through the center console are combined to form a hidden visual effect, which looks quite chic.
In addition, the three-spoke steering wheel is Volkswagen’s latest family style, and it also adopts electronic arms. A large storage space is vacated in the central passage area, and a wireless charging panel for mobile phones and a storage compartment with a retractable cover plate are provided.
In the power part, the new Magotan currently declares a 2.0T high-power engine and a 1.5T engine, with maximum power of 162kW and 118kW respectively. For reference, Magotan currently on sale offers 1.4T engine and 2.0T high/low power engine.
Looking back, at present, domestic Volkswagen is jointly engaged in the mid-size car market by Magotan and Passat. In recent years, with the strong rise of new energy vehicles with independent brands, these two cars are also under greater pressure. In addition, because it has not been greatly upgraded, the interior design is somewhat outdated. It is worth mentioning that Honda Accord and Toyota Camry at the same level have all been replaced, so Magotan and Passat, as "German duo", are in urgent need of replacement to enhance their market competitiveness.
