A few days ago, we learned from relevant channels that the new Sagitar, which was unveiled at the Guangzhou Auto Show as early as last year, will be officially listed in June this year. According to relevant information, in addition to the appearance will not be changed, the interior and power parts of the new car will be adjusted. Today, the author will take you to take a look at it first, to see what are the characteristics of the new Sagitar?
From the appearance point of view, the new Sagittarius adopts the design concept of Volkswagen's "Hanhai Interstellar", cancels the previous horizontal large chrome trim strip, and enhances the visual impact of the front face with a more exquisite and delicate dot matrix layout. The design of the left and right through the light group also makes the front face of the new Sagitar look more atmospheric, quite a sense of "little Magotan".
The side of the new car is still a more plated design idea, and the sharp bending waist line plus the skirt line below, the sense of layering is relatively rich. In terms of body size, according to the previously exposed declaration information, the new Sagitar length, width and height are 4791/1801/1465 mm, the wheelbase is 2731 mm, from the perspective of three circumferences alone, it can already be included in the category of low-end B-class cars. In addition, it is worth mentioning that the new Sagitar wheel hub style is more dynamic, and the five-frame design should please many young people.
The rear part of the new car has not changed much, mainly due to the adjustment of the light cavity structure, the overall look is more exquisite, and the chrome trim strip below further enhances the fashion sense of the whole car. The bilateral exhaust chrome decoration on the left and right sides also creates a certain sense of movement in the visual effect. Unfortunately, there is no "letter" under the tail tag, which will be less of a sense of identity in the eyes of some public fans.
In the interior part, the new car follows Volkswagen's latest design language, eliminating the design method of the mosaic central control screen, so as to replace a 12-inch floating central control large screen, which complements the full LCD instrument on the left side, and the overall look is more technological. In addition, some matte materials + chrome trim strips also laid the sense of grade in the car, and the use of mood lights further set off the driving atmosphere.
In terms of seats, the new Sagitar diamond element seats, the visual effect is not bad, in terms of functionality, it is likely to be consistent with the current models on sale, and the high-end models are equipped with seat electric adjustment and seat heating, memory and other functions. As for the space part, considering that the three dimensions of the new car have been greatly improved compared to the models on sale, it can be predicted that its internal space will be a little larger than that of the current model.
In terms of power, the EA211 1.4T engine has been running in China for many years and it is time to retire, but from the declaration information, the new Sagitar will still use the 1.2T and 1.4T engines sold, perhaps to "harvest" the last wave. Of course, what is more noteworthy is that in the declaration information, Sagitar will use the EA211 1.5TEVO engine for the first time, with a maximum power of 160 horsepower (118 kW), which is also the first time volkswagen has used the engine in Asia. As for how it opens? This can only be shared with you after we have measured it, but it is certain that the new Sagittarius with this engine will certainly perform better than the 1.4T Sagittarius in terms of performance and fuel consumption.
In the end: in the domestic A-class car market, as the fist product of the German volkswagen, Sagitar's reputation and appeal are beyond doubt, and this renewal will also inject more vitality into this "veteran" in order to face more and more "inner volume" and complex market conditions. Then again, now the A+ level market is indeed competitive, not to mention Qin PLUS DM-i, the 11th generation Civic has made Sagitar anxious, and its own Lingdu L is not a "fuel-saving lamp", Sagitar at this time to use the 1.5T model, in order to better continue its market position. What do you think about the new Sagitar?
