Not long ago, FAW-Volkswagen Sagittarius will usher in a replacement, and the new generation of Volkswagen Sagittarius will be expected to provide 1.5T EVO engines, matched by a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. This powertrain is expected to become Volkswagen's first sedan to be equipped. But also recently, some netizens exposed the FAW-Volkswagen Sagittarius patent application in China, the front face of the patent picture is to use a more moving honeycomb-like grille, some netizens speculated that the new car will be a high-performance version.
According to the FAW-Volkswagen Sagittarius official diagram exposed on the official website and the patent diagram exposed by the new car, the model in the patent diagram adopts a honeycomb-shaped air intake grille, and the fog light areas on both sides are also embellished with different decorative panels. The most obvious difference is that in the middle of this honeycomb-shaped grille, there is a penetrating decorative panel that runs through the entire front face, and the new car has a very high degree of recognition compared to the old model.
The new car may be a GLI model of FAW-Volkswagen Sagittarius, and its positioning is a bit similar to the high-performance version of the Volkswagen Golf GTI. For the same high-performance version, the Volkswagen Golf GTI is equipped with a 2.0T engine + 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, and the same high-performance version of FAW-Volkswagen Sagittarius is expected to be equipped with the same powertrain.
Compared with the Golf GTI model, the popularity of FAW-Volkswagen Sagittarius may not be higher than the popularity of golf, because the Golf is positioned as a small steel cannon, while FAW-Volkswagen Sagittarius has always been positioned as a family model and is an A+ class compact sedan with an extended size. In addition to the increase in power, but you can refer to the recently listed Volkswagen Lingdu L, the price is between 140,000-19 million, which is not a particularly affordable price. After the 2.0T engine is equipped, sagittarius may directly rush to the 200,000 price point.
