Just when everyone is looking forward to the mid-term revamp sagittarius listing (2023 sagitar), FAW-Volkswagen recently launched the 2022 sagittarius, which is quite unexpected. Some people think that this is FAW-Volkswagen cutting another wave of leeks with the heat of old models, and the sincerity is insufficient. However, some netizens believe that although the configuration of the entry-level model has been reduced, the price has also been reduced, and the cost of starting is low. In any case, the new car has been listed, a total of 7 models, the price range of 133,500 - 165,900 yuan, of which two manual gears are priced at 133,500 yuan and 135,900 yuan respectively.
The question is, when many joint venture models have lowered their stature and pulled down the price, will you still spend more than 130,000 yuan to buy a manual transmission model? Especially in the current Chinese car market, the price of independent brand models is generally not high, but the configuration is super high, and the quality has also been greatly improved, the quality of some products is not worse than the joint venture car, at this time, in the end, do you want to spend more than 100,000 yuan to buy a joint venture manual transmission?
Moreover, the appearance and interior of the 2022 Sagitar model have basically not changed, and the adjustment is mainly in terms of configuration.
Let's look at the configuration of the manual flyby version of the entry-level version, compared with the manual overtaking version that is 2400 yuan more expensive than it, this model priced at 133,500 yuan will replace the manual overprint of the 8-inch color digital LCD instrument with a smart multi-function driving computer, and also cancel the exterior mirror illumination, the exterior mirror electric folding /heating, cancel the co-pilot exterior mirror reversing assist, the door interior atmosphere light, the rear seat belt is not tied reminder, so look, the cancelled configuration must be more than 2400 yuan, so what, If you buy a manual transmission, it is still appropriate to buy a manual oversized version, after all, you have bought more than 130,000 cars, and it is not bad at 2400 yuan, right?
The next five models are all automatics, and two of them have the same power as the manual models, using a 1.2T engine, which has a maximum power of 85 kW and a peak torque of 175/200 Nm, matching a 5-speed manual or 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The other three automatic models are powered by 1.4T, with a maximum power of 110 kW and a peak torque of 250 Nm, matching a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. Therefore, AM car mirror recommends that you choose to buy a model with a 1.4T engine, which is more powerful.
And equipped with 1.4T power of the 3 models in fact choose which one can be, because the official provides a lot of optional bags, high-end configurations have to be selected, even if the highest 1.4T automatic excellence version, with a price of 165,900, but still have to add a lot of money to choose high-end configuration: golden wheels (500 yuan), inductive trunk (500 yuan), driver assistance package (7000 yuan) - adaptive cruise, automatic parking assistance, pre-collision protection, blind spot monitoring, lane keeping.
The landing price is more than 180,000, and you have to add 7,000 pieces to choose adaptive cruise, which is really a bit too much. Automatic parking assistance, golden wheels, induction trunk can be unnecessary, but adaptive cruise and lane keeping is a sharp tool to run high speed, pre-collision protection, blind spot monitoring can greatly enhance driving safety, avoid collisions and accidents, and now 100,000 levels of independent brand models are equipped with a large number of equipment, more than 160,000 joint venture cars even have to be selected, indeed should not be. It can be said that the 2022 Sagittarius allows the owner to lower the threshold for entering the car, but the good things still have to spend a good price. Those who like volkswagen quality can buy on demand; those who want a better price-performance ratio can look at other models.
