Today's model class division is less and less rigorous, some A-class car size is enough to rival B-class cars, some B-class car size is enough to rival C-class cars, car companies call this A+ class or B+ class model "leapfrog", which means that you can enjoy a higher level of treatment with less money, thereby enhancing its sense of value and cost performance. Some people like to do addition, others like to do subtraction, such as buick Encore is not even the size of many compact SUVs, but it is a medium-sized SUV, with its 4694mm length and 2750mm wheelbase? In contrast, Honda Guandao is also a medium-sized SUV, but its length has reached 4858mm, and the wheelbase has reached 2820mm, which is the real medium-sizeDUV. My opinion is that the length is more than 4.8 meters, the wheelbase is more than 2.8 meters can be called a medium-sized SUV, according to this standard division, Buick Encore, Volkswagen Tiguan L, Volkswagen Tanyue and other models can not meet the size requirements of medium-sized SUVs, they do add some "overdose".
The same examples abound in the car market, such as modern famous pictures, Cadillac CT4, etc., their length is below 4800mm, the wheelbase is below 2800mm, even if the length and wheelbase can have a standard ah, but they are "two do not stick", do the addition is too obvious. For example, Citroën Versailles C5 X, some people question the "identity" of its B-class car, the length of the good villain reached 4805mm, the wheelbase was 2785mm, and it was barely able to be classified into the ranks of B-class cars, which were not as appropriate as A+ class cars. Another example is volkswagen Sagittarius, its size and modern famous map is very close, people simply and neatly set as A-class cars, 4753mm length and 2731mm wheelbase than most A-class cars have advantages, said to be A-class, in fact, A+ class.
I personally think that sagitar product power is the best is the previous generation of models, because the previous generation of models have GLI version, its 2.0T engine + 6DSG wet dual-clutch transmission powertrain can burst out of the maximum power of 200 horsepower and 280 Nm peak torque, 7.3 seconds to break the hundred, already has a kind of performance car charm. And this generation of models is to ban the 2.0T engine, only 1.2T and 1.4T two small displacement engines, 6DSG wet double clutch transmission is gone, only 7DSG dry dual clutch transmission, performance "crotch" is not a star and a half, such as its 1.4T model is 8.7 seconds to break the hundred, this is completely a "grocery car" level, from the engine to the gearbox of the comprehensive ban, so that this generation of Sagitar has become a "large" Bora.
The picture is 2023 models, compared to 22 models, the improvement is actually not big, the main thing is to replace the embedded central control screen with a floating central control screen, while upgrading the car machine system, if the price of 22 models is strong, it is still recommended to choose the old model. According to the owner's reputation, the advantages of Sagitar are low fuel consumption, large space, stable driving, high cost performance, the disadvantage is that the power output is general, the start is slow, the tire noise is large, the brakes are not sensitive, the center console is abnormal, etc. This modification replaces the large screen, I think it will have a certain help to reduce the response of the center console.
In terms of price, we learned from Beijing that the 2021 Sagitar series is discounted by 32,000 yuan, for a 100,000-level A+ class joint venture car, this offer has been very impressive, it can be said that sagittarius has a big discount in the recent past, I use to break the "price bottom line" in the title to describe, sagittarius in the early 100,000s, do you think it is cost-effective? The 2022 Sagitar does not give specific offers, and does not rule out the possibility of "processing" 22 models after "processing" 21 models, after all, 23 models are also about to be listed. Whether it is "buying new" or "buying old", depending on the needs of individual cars and the acceptance of new things, if you are very concerned about the price, the 21 Sagitar with a discount of 32,000 yuan is still very cost-effective.
In terms of sales, Sagitar has been very stable, it has exceeded 20,000 units for 3 consecutive months, and the cumulative sales volume of 21 years is as high as 235705 units, although compared with the cumulative sales of 299839 units in 20 years, the cumulative sales volume of the whole year has dropped by 21.39% year-on-year, but considering the epidemic, lack of core, raw material shortage and other factors, this sales volume is also worthy of recognition.
