There is a model, which has both the price of an A-class car, and at the same time there is space for a B-class car, seeking survival in the cracks, but mixing out its own share of the world, few other models can PK with it, it is volkswagen Sagittarius. It is precisely because of the longing for volkswagen sagittarius, I unconsciously walked into the Volkswagen 4S store, the new Sagitar test drive, since it is a test drive, it is necessary to open its top with 1.4T + 7DCT, by comparing the 1.6L version of the old Sagitar, to tell everyone about the driving experience!
The first is the engine
The Volkswagen 1.4T engine is a star engine, which is loaded in various Volkswagen models, such as Maiten, Passat, Tiguan L, Tanyue, Golf and other models, you can see the figure of the engine, here can not help but praise this engine. The maximum torque value of the engine is 250Nm, the maximum power is 150ps, its torque parameter value and Toyota 2.5L self-priming engine have a fight, you know, Toyota will be 2.5L engine mainly matched to the Camry, Asian Dragon and other B-class cars, as well as RAV4 and other compact SUV models, which shows how good the parameters of the Volkswagen 1.4T engine are.
Volkswagen 1.4T engine matched to the Sagitar car, I think it is more than enough, the vehicle acceleration ability is very rapid, can meet the driving needs of car owners in different road conditions such as cities, provincial roads, high speeds, etc., overtaking acceleration, intense driving can be easily completed. Under the matching of this engine, sagittarius 100 km/h acceleration performance of 8.35s, like it or not? The only regret is that when Sagitar is driving at low speeds, the degree of turbo intervention is not high, and the power of the engine is slightly delayed, which will make people feel a little uncomfortable in the traffic jam.
I don't know if you remember the 1.6L version of the Volkswagen Sagittarius? The model sold crazy in China, the 1.6L engine has a small displacement and weak power, but its stability and durability are excellent, the performance of the engine is consistent, even if it is a classic car that has traveled 300,000 kilometers, the performance of the 1.6L engine is still the same. Overall, the 1.4T engine has a cooler driving feel and the 1.6L has a more stable driving feel.
This is followed by transmissions
Matching the 1.4T engine is the Volkswagen 7DCT transmission (dry double clutch), Chinese consumers have always held a negative attitude towards the Volkswagen dry dual clutch transmission, after all, the dry dual clutch transmission has a poor heat dissipation effect, the stability is slightly insufficient, the phenomenon of gear shifting, abnormal noise and other phenomena occur frequently, low-speed traffic jams are its nightmares, although Volkswagen has carried out three generations of development of the dry dual clutch transmission, and its problems have also been greatly improved, but the problem of the dry double clutch transmission has not been completely eliminated. This is a hard injury of the 1.4T version of Sagittarius.
On the contrary, the old Sagittarius 1.6L, matched with the Aisin 6AT transmission, if you are a person in the car circle, you must know the Aisin transmission, and can't help but give it a thumbs up. If there is only one transmission in the car circle, it must be Aisin, and this is the influence of Aisin in the car circle. The biggest advantage of Aisin transmission is stable and reliable, leather durable, it does not have damage so that there is no such thing, and Aisin 6AT transmission shift smoothness is high, the shift texture is very rhythmic, and the durability and stability of the transmission is extremely excellent, which is the favorite of family cars.
Finally, there is the texture of the chassis
Sagitar 1.4T model, its chassis using front and rear suspension, resulting in its shock absorption filtration effect on the road is also very good, but sagitar chassis tuning is hard, which undoubtedly has a certain impact on its riding comfort, the new sagitar body size is larger, the larger the body size, the worse the stability of the vehicle, although the Volkswagen sagittarius is very "solid", but compared to the old sagittarius 1.6L, there is still some gap; sagittarius 1.6L model, it gives people the feeling of "steady, stable, heavy", This sense of heaviness gives the owner the feeling that it is "very safe" and "no reduction".
Overall, the Sagitar 1.4T model has better acceleration performance, the vehicle's driving feeling is lighter, but the Sagitar 1.6L model has a more stable driving feeling, the vehicle is more compact, and the durability and stability of the vehicle are better, for ordinary wage earners like me, 1.6L may be more of my appetite.
