The FAW-Volkswagen Magotan 2023 DSG is a midsize car that was launched in October 2022. The car is powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine with a power output of 186 hp. Let's take a closer look at the parameters and performance characteristics of this car.
Engine performance
The 2.0-liter DTH engine of this Magotan is a technical masterpiece. It uses turbocharging technology, which means that the engine increases the oxygen content in the cylinders by increasing the intake pressure, which improves fuel combustion efficiency and achieves higher power output. Turbocharging technology allows the engine to maintain a relatively small displacement while producing power performance comparable to that of a large-displacement engine, while also improving fuel economy, in line with the dual needs of modern vehicles for performance and energy saving.
The engine has a maximum power of 137 kW (186 hp) and a maximum torque of 320 Nm. This means that it has a strong power output and excellent acceleration. This power delivery not only meets the demands of everyday city driving, but also provides sufficient power reserve when rapid acceleration or unexpected situations are required, resulting in a smoother and more powerful driving experience.
The engine is also designed with fuel economy in mind, with direct injection technology and a turbocharging system that makes fuel combustion more efficient and thus reduces fuel consumption. This means a balance between performance and energy savings, allowing users to enjoy both powerful power and reduce fuel costs for everyday driving, giving users a comprehensive driving experience.
Equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine codenamed DTH, the Magotan model not only excels in terms of dynamic performance, but also has excellent performance in terms of fuel economy and driving experience, making it a star in the mid-size car market.
Transmission and drive type
The combination of a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission and a wet dual-clutch transmission (DCT) type used by Magotan brings excellent driving performance and a comfortable driving experience. The dual-clutch gearbox is designed so that the vehicle can be seamlessly connected during gear changes, ensuring smooth and fast gear changes. This means that the driver can enjoy a smooth and dynamic driving experience when driving in the city or cruising at high speeds, and can respond quickly whether it is accelerating or decelerating.
The Wet Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) type is designed with good thermal management characteristics to keep the transmission temperature low in a high-temperature environment, thus guaranteeing the stability and durability of the transmission. This design also helps to reduce frictional losses in the gearbox, extending the service life of the gearbox and ensuring the long-term reliability of the vehicle.
The front-wheel drive mode adopted by Magotan makes the vehicle have good handling and stability. The front-wheel drive layout makes the center of gravity of the vehicle more balanced, effectively reduces roll when cornering, and improves the vehicle's handling and driving stability. Whether in complex road conditions or at high speeds, the driver can feel the good handling of the vehicle, which increases the confidence and pleasure of driving.
The 7-speed dual-clutch transmission and front-wheel drive mode adopted by the Magotan and the design of the wet dual-clutch transmission (DCT) type bring excellent driving comfort, handling and reliability to the vehicle, making it one of the most popular models in the mid-size car market.
Body structure and dimensions
Magotan adopts the design of a 4-door and 5-seater sedan, which retains the stylish appearance of the sedan while taking into account practicality and comfort. The four-door design makes it easy for passengers to get on and off the bus, while the layout of the sedan provides plenty of space for passengers and luggage.
In terms of body size, the length, width and height of Magotan are 4866 mm, 1832 mm and 1479 mm respectively. This size design not only ensures the vehicle's flexibility in the city, but also provides passengers with a spacious and comfortable ride. In particular, the wheelbase reaches 2871 mm, which provides passengers with enough legroom to make long journeys more comfortable.
In terms of body mass, the curb weight of Magotan is 1559 kg, and the full load weight reaches 2030 kg. This means that the vehicle has a high level of structural strength and stability, and can maintain good driving performance and safety whether it is driven by a single person or a full load.
The design of the 4-door, 5-seater sedan, as well as the reasonable body size and mass distribution, provide passengers with a spacious and comfortable ride space, while ensuring the stability and safety of the vehicle, making it a popular choice in the mid-size car market.
Safety and driver assistance systems
Magotan is equipped with a range of advanced technologies in safety and driver assistance systems designed to improve driver convenience and safety.
This system realizes the parking brake through electronic control, which is more intelligent and convenient than the traditional mechanical handbrake. When the driver needs to stop, the system automatically controls the vehicle to stop by simply pulling the handbrake switch. This not only makes parking more convenient and fast, but also can effectively reduce the driver's operating burden and improve the convenience and comfort of driving.
The electric power steering system is also an important feature of the Magotan. The system assists the driver in steering maneuvers by electronically controlling them, making driving easier and more precise. Whether it's cornering at low speeds or steering stability at high speeds, the electric power steering system can effectively support the driver and improve driving safety and comfort.
In addition to these systems, Magotan is equipped with safety systems such as Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Electronic Stability Program (ESP), as well as driver assistance systems such as Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Blind Spot Monitoring (BSD). The combined effect of these systems enables drivers to cope with various complex road conditions and driving scenarios more easily and comfortably, improving the safety and reliability of driving.
Magotan is equipped with a wealth of safety and driving assistance systems to provide drivers with a full range of safety and driving support, making the driving experience more convenient, comfortable and reassuring. The application of these systems not only enhances the overall competitiveness of the vehicle, but also reflects FAW-Volkswagen's high attention and sense of responsibility for the user's driving safety.
Fuel economy
Magotan's outstanding performance in fuel economy is mainly due to the multifaceted engineering and technology application. The 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, codenamed DTH, uses advanced turbocharging technology. This technology increases the oxygen content in the cylinder by increasing the inlet pressure, resulting in more efficient fuel combustion and higher power output. At the same time, turbocharging technology is able to produce power performance comparable to that of larger engines while maintaining a relatively small displacement, thereby reducing fuel consumption.
The design of the Magotan with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission and a wet dual-clutch transmission (DCT) type also plays a positive role in fuel economy. The dual-clutch transmission is designed to allow the vehicle to connect seamlessly during gear changes, improving the efficiency of power transmission and reducing energy losses. The thermal management features of the wet dual-clutch transmission keep the transmission temperature low in high-temperature environments, reducing energy loss and further improving fuel economy.
Magotan has also worked on body structure and aerodynamic design. The optimized design of the body structure reduces the wind resistance of the vehicle and reduces energy consumption. At the same time, by using some lightweight materials, such as aluminum alloy, the overall weight of the vehicle is further reduced and energy consumption is reduced.
