The New Year is the most inseparable complex in Chinese.
With the Spring Festival approaching, many people have begun to put car buying on the agenda. As the saying goes, if you have money and no money, buy a car for the New Year. In such a happy time, a car is indispensable. Buying New Year goods, visiting relatives and friends, traveling and playing, etc., are inseparable from a car.
Recently, an answering fan was thinking about buying a new car at this moment near the end of the year to solve a series of troubles about returning home and traveling during the Spring Festival, and by the way, he also rewarded himself with a year of hard work outside.
The answering fan's intention to buy a car is very clear: he wants to buy a highly recognized joint venture brand car, with a budget of about 150,000. So, after careful screening, the fan finally chose between the Toyota Asia lion and the Volkswagen Sagittarius. As a result, FAW Toyota Asiatic Lion won and was taken home by this fan!
Many people may wonder, in the case of the same price, why did they finally choose the Asiatic Lion? With this question in mind, we might as well compare the two cars to see who is better? Who is better suited to return home for the New Year?
Go home for the New Year, you need a car that can be "loaded" in particular!
Spring Festival reunion, the journey is long, in addition to family travel, often with a lot of gifts, luggage, etc., so it is necessary to choose a "big belly" can be loaded car.
Judging from the body size, the two cars have their own advantages. Sagitar's length, width and height are 4753/1800/1462mm, which is larger than the Asiatic lion overall. However, in terms of wheelbase that really depends on spatial performance, the Asiatic Lion has a wheelbase of 2750mm, which is better than Sagitar's 2731mm.

The larger wheelbase means that the rear passengers can be given more space to sit in, and the overall comfort is better. In addition, the rear seats of the Asiatic Lion also support proportional reclining, forming a relatively flat trunk space, which greatly improves the space utilization, so that there is no need to worry about the problem of the New Year goods not being put down.
In contrast, sagitar has a huge bulge in the center of the rear row due to the design limitations of the MQB platform, and when riding three people in the back row, the middle passengers are quite depressed.

In addition, according to the actual experience of this answering fan, the seat cushion padding of the Asiatic Lion is softer and more comfortable than sagittarius, and the cushion is very thick, which can improve the comfort of long-distance driving.
Traffic jams back home, who has the best solution?
The Spring Festival is a long way away, and in the long road home for the New Year, you will often encounter traffic jams. The answering fan who chose the Asiatic lion said: "Like me driving back to my hometown in Shijiazhuang from Beijing, a total of more than 300 kilometers, usually it takes more than three hours to go home, not to mention the Spring Festival, the time is blocked and stopped, and the time has at least doubled." ”
Falling on the actual driving, this fan believes that a very important reason for choosing Asiatic Lion is that its intelligent driving assistance system is very comprehensive, which not only makes daily driving more convenient and convenient, but also greatly improves travel safety.
Just as there is a gap in the so-called contrast, here we may wish to take out the intelligent driving assistance configuration of the two models for comparison.
From the above figure, it is not difficult to see that even the entry-level Asia Lions 2.0L Aggressive Version model is equipped with Toyota TSS2.0 Intelligent Travel Safety System as standard, which mainly includes four functions: pre-collision safety system (PCS), lane departure warning system (LDA), dynamic radar cruise control system (DRCC) and far and near light automatic adjustment system (AHB), and also includes a series of auxiliary driving functions such as full-speed adaptive cruise, lane track keeping, active braking, etc., which can achieve L2-level intelligent driving functions.
Take the full-speed adaptive cruise system, which makes it easy to intelligently follow the car. For example, when the current car slows down, we do not need to step on the brake pedal, and the Asiatic Lion will slow down on its own; when the safety distance of the current car reaches the specified value, it can automatically restore the speed. This completely liberates the driver's feet, not only reduces the probability of accidents, but also reduces the fatigue of the driver and makes it easier to travel home.
It is worth mentioning that Asia Lion also comes standard with the same safety feature as Alpha - PKSB parking anti-collision assist function, which is also the first time that Toyota has introduced this function to a car. It is mainly suitable for detecting obstacles when driving in the forward direction or at low speed, detecting obstacles when reversing, and detecting pedestrians behind when reversing, etc., to prevent potential safety hazards caused by distraction or misoperation of drivers.
In contrast, Sagitar's configuration in intelligent and safe driving is a bit shabby, and if you want to match the above configurations, only the top model can be. From this point of view, it also reflects the higher safety configuration of Asiatic lions, and this key configuration not only reflects the cost performance of the vehicle, but more importantly, it is related to the vital safety interests of consumers.
Through the village to visit relatives, the "hardcore" bottom can not be less?
The Spring Festival is a long way away, and if the power is insufficient, it is inevitable that it will be boring to the extreme. At the same time, visiting relatives also has to go to the village and go to the countryside, and it is not surprising that they encounter complex road scenes. Therefore, there are higher requirements for the power and handling of a car.
Asiatic Lion is powered by a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine mated to a 10-speed dual-drive CVT transmission with starting gears. Maximum horsepower 171Ps, peak torque 205N·m. Not only does this engine provide powerful power, but with the Direct Shift-CVT transmission, the thermal efficiency is up to 40%, which provides extremely high fuel economy.
Sagitar has two powertrains to choose from, the high-end model is equipped with the well-known 1.4T EA211 engine, the maximum horsepower is 150 Ps, the maximum torque is 250N·m, matching the 7-speed DSG dual-clutch transmission, and the acceleration time of 100 kilometers can reach 8.7s, which is completely enough for a family car.
The low-end model is equipped with a 1.2T four-cylinder engine, which also belongs to the EA211 series, with a maximum horsepower of 116 Ps, and also has different torque tuning, with a dual-clutch transmission, the maximum torque of the model with a dual-clutch transmission is 200N·m, but the maximum torque of the lowest model with a manual transmission is only 175N·m, which is weaker than the Asiatic Lion. But know that if you have a budget of less than 150,000, you can only buy a 1.2T power model.
In terms of fuel consumption, the Asiatic Lion's comprehensive fuel consumption of 100 kilometers can be as low as 5.7L. In addition, the Asiatic Lion can use No. 92 gasoline for the entire series, while Sagitar also needs No. 95 gasoline, which is relatively more costly.
Finally, in terms of handling experience, because the Asiatic Lion uses the front McPherson, rear double wishbone independent suspension, the cost is undoubtedly higher than ordinary multi-link suspension such as Sagitar. At the same time, with the help of the TNGA architecture, it can obtain more stable driving performance. According to the answering fan, the chassis texture of the Asiatic Lion is much better than that of the Volkswagen Sagittarius of the same level, which can only be known if you go to the 4S store to test drive the comparison experience.
Good looks, let go home more face
Why do you have to drive home for the New Year? Another very important reason is for the sake of face.
Just imagine, when I go home for the New Year, I have to visit relatives and friends, and all kinds of seven aunts and eight aunts must meet. At this time, it is inevitable that their souls will torture: For example, have they found a job? How much money did you make this year? Do you have an object? At this time, if you drive a high-value car with a row of noodles to them, there must be no such disturbing problems. After all, you have driven such a beautiful car back to your hometown, and everyone is still worried that you have not found a job? Afraid you won't find an object?
In terms of appearance, the appearance of FAW Toyota Asiatic Lion adopts a family design language, and the inverted trapezoidal grille is matched with a narrow LED headlight group on both sides, which is very graded. At first glance, it is somewhat similar to Lexus's spindle grille. In addition, due to the increase in wheelbase, the side of the car looks more visually stretched. Overall, the Asiatic lion looks more stylish and atmospheric.
Sagitar's front face is still a highly recognizable FAW-Volkswagen family-style appearance, and there is not much brilliance in the standard, and even slightly dull. However, the new LED headlights and front grille shape add a lot of points, highlighting a more advanced sense of hierarchy. The shape of the light bar of the LED daytime running lights, the overall feeling shows a C-shape, coupled with the shape design of the front fog lights, so that it and Langyi can have a more distinct distinction.
Compared with the two models, this answering fan believes that in terms of appearance, the Asiatic lion is better than Sagitar, more stylish and atmospheric!
