Once the top joint venture B-class car sales, but now it has fallen to less than 150,000, the pressure to accord, Camry

A few years ago, if you want to buy a B-class car, "Ashkenazi" Volkswagen Maiteng, Passat is definitely the first choice, business attributes are suitable for business IKEA, and the chassis texture is outstanding, at its peak, the monthly sales of the two can be stabilized at the level of 20,000 +, while the "Japanese Three Musketeers" Toyota Camry, Honda Accord and Nissan Tianlai can only be reduced to foil. But now due to the decline in word of mouth and high cost of use, the hot momentum of "Ashkenazi Double Male" has become a thing of the past, with Magotan's sales of only 9,739 vehicles in March and Toyota Camry's sales of 22,500 vehicles. In order to enhance market competitiveness, Maiteng, as the former B-class car sales champion, also had to carry out "price for volume".

According to the quotation of the owner's home, the current preferential range of Maiteng has reached about 40,000 yuan, and the minimum price of the entry model 2020 280TSI DSG comfort reference is only 145,900 yuan (for reference only, the price reduction range in different regions is different, please consult the local dealer for details), such a price can be said to be very sincere. So, is the Volkswagen Magotan value that has improved its cost performance worth starting today?

Unlike passat's shift to youthfulness, Magotan has maintained a stable and imposing image. The wide and low-lying front of the car with the raised ribs on the surface of the cover appears to have a sense of strength, the family banner grille is connected to the headlight groups on both sides, making the front face look extremely tense, and the chrome dot matrix elements inside the central net add a lot of luxury. And the whole series is equipped with LED near and far headlights as standard, supporting automatic headlights, delayed shutdown and other functions. The through-through lower bracket is more imposing, and the addition of chrome trims enhances the texture.

The slightly slippery shape is elegant and atmospheric, and the straight body waistline takes into account the stable temperament of a medium-sized car. The chrome trim that wraps around the windows and under the body, with 18-inch silver-black double-five-spoke aluminum alloy wheels, is quite graded. The full and rounded tail shape continues to emphasize the stable attribute, and the "MAGOTAN" logo is under the logo, which creates a sense of luxury. The slender LED light strip inside the tail is very delicate, and the exhaust tail throat of the bilateral double out further enhances the momentum of the whole vehicle.

The interior continues the sedate style of the exterior, and the through-type air conditioning outlet on the surface of the T-shaped center console, with wood grain trim panels and chrome trims, not only adds a sense of class, but also looks more spacious. The design of the middle quartz clock belongs to the sharp weapon to enhance the sense of luxury in the interior. The three-spoke multi-function steering wheel is the latest style of the Volkswagen family, and the chrome bezel around the surface and the electronic gear handle with chrome embellishment are particularly delicate and three-dimensional. The embedded central control screen is equipped with a full LCD instrument and touch air conditioning buttons, which creates a scientific and technological atmosphere, and supports some mainstream functions such as Bluetooth phone, CarLife mobile phone interconnection, voice recognition control, and Internet of Vehicles.

In terms of configuration, practical configurations such as fatigue driving tips, one-button start, reversing image, automatic parking, leather multi-function steering wheel, leather seats, and electric adjustment/heating of the rearview mirror are standard in the whole series. In addition to the entry-level model, more intelligent features include keyless entry, cruise control, openable panoramic sunroof, electric master/passenger seat adjustment, front seat heating, automatic three-zone air conditioning, interior mirror auto-dimming, rain-sensitive wipers and more. Of course, more luxury features such as L2-level driver assistance systems, 360-degree panoramic images, wireless mobile phone charging, and 30-color mood lights are not absent in high-end models.

As for the space that the Chinese people care about, the length, width and height of the Magotan are 4865/1832/1471mm, due to the long time has not been replaced, such a size is not as good as the Accord and Camry, but the wheelbase of 2871mm is still outstanding. The rear is wide and full seats fit. Plenty of legroom for a comfortable ride, but the higher bumps in the middle of the floor are not very friendly. And the back row with cup holder central handrail, air conditioning outlet, power interface and other practical configurations are not absent, with the boss key and 12 speakers Danna audio, showing business style. The rear seat backrests also support proportional reclining, taking into account household attributes.

Finally, in terms of power, the entry-level model is equipped with a 1.4T engine, a maximum power of 110kW (150 hp), a maximum torque of 250Nm, a 7-speed dry dual-clutch transmission, and a fuel consumption of only 5.8L per 100 kilometers, suitable for economic daily households. The medium and high-end models are equipped with 2.0T low/high-power engines, matching 7-stop wet dual-clutch transmissions, of which the 2.0T low-power version has a maximum power of 137kW (186 hp) and a maximum torque of 320Nm; the 2.0T high-power version has a maximum power of 162kW (220 hp) and a maximum torque of 350Nm, which is good enough. The chassis is front McPherson rear multi-link independent suspension, which combines handling and comfort.

I have to say that although it is an "old car" whose product cycle is close to the end, The appearance of Maiteng is still outstanding, the configuration is rich enough, the space is also very advantageous at the same level, and the product strength is not obviously hard. It is a little regrettable that the interior is quite old-fashioned, and it is necessary to add No. 95 gasoline, but under the blessing of greater preferential treatment, the overall situation is still reasonable, and it is still worth considering at the price of 145,900 yuan. So, what do you think of Volkswagen Magotan, welcome to leave a comment.
