Because there is a high demand for riding, many consumers will also focus on medium-sized cars. In fact, it can be seen from the sales volume of the market that consumers are still more inclined to Japanese brands. Taking the sales volume in March this year as an example, the sales of camry, accord and tianlai all occupy the top position, of which the camry sold more than 22,000 vehicles in March, which is surprising. However, judging from the comments of netizens, although the sales of Japanese cars are higher than those of Germans, the title of "benchmark" is only worthy of Magotan, why is this?
In the eyes of many friends, the medium-sized car is a commercial vehicle and the car of the leader of the enterprise, so it seems that it must be stable and important. Today, the appearance of the current Camry, Accord, and Tianlai has begun to take the route of young sports, including the Passat after the revamp also launched a starry sky version. Although Maiteng has not yet made a facelift, it has to be said that the shape of the current model is indeed quite mature and stable, just like wearing sportswear and wearing a suit can give people a different visual sense. Let's take the 2020 330TSI DSG luxury model as an example to see how strong Volkswagen Magotan is.
I believe that many friends like Maiteng because of the appearance, although it still adopts the design style of the Volkswagen family, but the mature and stable visual image is also in line with the appearance of commercial vehicles. Although the Maiten and Passat are brother models, the front face of the Maiten is somewhat low, and with the lining of the cabin cover, the front face will not be too old-fashioned. LED headlights are standard in the entire series and are equipped with the function of front fog lights, but the halogen turn signal has become a spit point, which will affect the overall visual beauty. In terms of size, the Magotan has a length, width and height of 4865/1832/1471mm and a wheelbase of 2871mm, which is a certain gap compared to the Passat. But the slender waistline on the side with chrome trim, combined with the wheel shape of multiple spokes, gives the visual sense of luxury.
The interior part also gives people a mature and stable image, and does not adopt an offset layout like the Passat, and the instrument panel and center console are designed in a conventional way. The front-row through air conditioner outlets have chrome trims added to the interior, and the quartz clock in the middle is a more classic design, which is also suitable for a medium-sized commercial vehicle. Although the overall style of the interior is not advanced, it has the blessing of functions such as a full LCD dashboard, a 9.2-inch multimedia touch screen, and a touch air conditioning control panel, and with the effect of the atmosphere lights, the atmosphere of the sense of high-grade is better than that of Japanese cars. The second is the material, the seat is a mixture of vienna leather and turned fur, the surface of the co-pilot glove box and the door storage compartment are covered with flocking, and the touch is superior.
In terms of space, although the body size of the Maiten is not as good as the Passat, the actual rear space performance is relatively outstanding. My height of 1.8 meters sitting in the back row can get about three fists of leg space, head space close to four fingers, plus the area of the panoramic skylight is large enough, the whole field of view is very transparent. If required as a business reception, the co-pilot's seat side is equipped with a boss button, which provides more legroom for passengers in the right rear. Of course, in order to keep the chassis flat, the bulge of the middle floor of the rear row is indeed quite high, and the middle is not suitable for a long ride. Magotan's trunk volume is 533L, the interior space is well-organized, and the rear seats support proportional reclining to meet the needs of loading large items.
In terms of power, the 2.0T engine equipped with this Magotan (2020 330TSI DSG Deluxe) is a low-power tuned version with a maximum power of 137 kW (186Ps), a maximum torque of 320 N·m, and a transmission matching a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. The engine can burst out maximum torque at 1500 rpm, coupled with the faster transmission efficiency of the gearbox, so the power response of The Magotan is more direct; the official acceleration time of 100 kilometers is 8.1 seconds, and the comprehensive fuel consumption of NEDC is 6.3L/100km. In terms of suspension, the Use of McPherson-style independent suspension and multi-link independent suspension; in fact, compared to the Passat's more comfortable tuning orientation, Maiten's driving texture will pay some attention to control, the road sense is clear, the steering direction is also quite precise, but the brake foot feel is soft, and it takes a certain deep step to have obvious braking force.
Finally, in 2021, Magotan's cumulative sales exceeded 110,000 vehicles, which is less than half of Camry's sales. Despite this, it still does not affect the majority of riders to give it the title of "benchmark", mature and stable appearance image has a spacious riding space, the power system equipped with a good performance, coupled with the higher discount of the terminal, Maiteng is also the ideal car for many potential consumers.
