As a chronological change, the new car is mainly an adjustment to the lineup of the car series, which adds 3 "Flyby Version" models, namely the 200TSI Manual Flyover Version, the 200TSI Automatic Flyover Version and the 280TSI Automatic Flyover Version, and with the changes in the entry model, the purchase threshold of the 2022 Sagittarius model has also been lowered from the previous 135,900 yuan to 133,500 yuan. It is worth mentioning that the listing is a conventional revamped model, and the mid-term revamp Sagittarius that debuted at the Guangzhou Auto Show will not be officially listed until 2022.
According to the information currently understood, compared with the 200TSI manual overshoot version, the newly added 200TSI manual flyby version replaces the 8-inch color digital LCD instrument with a smart multi-function driving computer; and cancels the exterior atmosphere light (the exterior mirror illuminates the ground, with the VW Sagitar logo), the electric folding exterior mirror (with the automatic adjustment function of the co-driver's side reversing), the external mirror heating, the door interior atmosphere light and the rear seat belt are not tied to the reminder, and the price is reduced by 2400 yuan. In addition, the 2022 FAW-Volkswagen Sagittarius also provides a variety of optional packages for consumers to choose from, among which the Flyover Version and the Excellence Edition model support the optional "10.3-inch Active Info Display Full LCD Digital Meter".
As for the appearance, the 2022 FAW-Volkswagen Sagittarius is expected to continue the design language of the old model, and the front face will be equipped with a hexagonal grille, and the interior will be decorated by multiple chrome strips. The sharply shaped headlights are integrated with the grille to help extend the visual width of the front face. As for the front enclosing area, it adopts a three-stage layout, and the interior of the lower air intake is also decorated with chrome strips, which looks more stable overall.
The rear part of the car looks hierarchical under the action of straight lines, equipped with eagle beak type full LED taillights, which is highly recognizable.

Summary: The current generation of FAW-Volkswagen Sagittarius was first listed in 2019, which is the benchmark in the field of A+ class cars and the main source of sales for the brand. However, with the influx of more new models and other factors, Sagitar's market performance this year has not been as good as in the past. According to the data of the Association of Automobiles, sagitar's cumulative sales from January to November this year were 210501 vehicles, down 22.9% year-on-year, ranking seventh in the list of car sales. The 2022 model listed this time is expected to attract more consumer attention through the expansion of the lineup of car series and the reduction of the car purchase threshold, but if you want to completely stop the decline, you may also need to wait for the arrival of the mid-term remodeled model.
