The car we are talking about today is FAW-Volkswagen Sagittarius. According to the latest sales data analysis in March 2022 according to the statistics of the Automobile Dealers Association, FAW-Volkswagen Sagittarius's sales reached 15,148 units last month, an increase of 2,608 units year-on-year, ranking 9th in the domestic car market and ranking first in the sales of A+ class cars. Volkswagen fired the first shot of "price for volume"! 14.45 million fell to 90,000, now it is not more cost-effective to buy it
The front face of the new Sagitar features a banner grille that resembles the Passat, and the interior details are completely redesigned, with the addition of chrome dot matrix decoration, coupled with a light cluster design that opens the corner of the eye. In addition, the air intake of the new Sagitar has also been redesigned, using a through-channel design, and the overall appearance seems to be much younger.
In terms of interior, the center console of the new Sagitar 1.2T manual transmission model continues to be equipped with a new floating central control screen, but the contrast can be seen, and the touch button area is added on both sides of this screen, which is expected to be reduced compared with the actual screen size of high-end models. At the same time, the car is equipped with manual air conditioning, and it is suspected of canceling the one-button start function. Based on the configuration, the 1.2T manual transmission model exposed this time may be positioned as the entry-level version of the new Sagitar family.
The side of the new Sagitar is not much different from the current model, and a prominent waist line protruding outward runs from the fenders to the rear, thus showing a good sense of power, which can be seen in many models of Volkswagen. However, the new car is equipped with double five-spoke whirlwind wheels, which look slightly younger.
The changes in the rear of the new car are mainly due to the richer sense of layering, including the addition of an upturned "ducktail", the design with a polyline under the license plate, while the bottom is equipped with a through-type contour light and bilateral chrome exhaust decoration, plus the light group with a more complex structure, the entire tail looks more calm and atmospheric.
From the perspective of the new 1.5T Sagitar engine compartment, the external structure of the engine is more compact, and the position of the air filter and the direction of the intake line are also different from the current 1.4T engine. At the same time, the coolant expansion pot of the car is adjusted from a circle to an irregular shape. Based on current information, the maximum power of this 1.5T engine is 118 kilowatts, compared with the current Sagittarius 1.2T and 1.4T engines with maximum power of 85 kilowatts and 110 kilowatts, respectively.
