In the current era when traffic is king, not all car products need traffic support.
From a long-term perspective, there is no shortage of classic products with both word-of-mouth and sales. For example, Volkswagen Magotan has gained the favor of more than 2.51 million users since the debut of the first generation of products.
After 17 years of evolution, the new generation of Magotan was officially launched on July 9, and the starting price of the car is 179,900 yuan, can it still meet the car needs of the current mainstream consumer groups and keep pace with the times?
The new generation of Magotan is new, and its biggest "advancement" is its performance in the field of intelligence.
Although new energy vehicles do have more advantages in intelligence, this does not mean that fuel vehicles cannot bring consumers a better experience.
This time, the new generation Magotan is a good example. The new car cooperates with leading technology companies such as DJI, Qualcomm, iFLYTEK, Huawei, etc., and is endowed with an intelligent technology experience that is not inferior to that of new energy products.
First of all, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip was officially launched on the car, and it was built based on the "dual-brain architecture" of Linux + Android, which made the operation of the intelligent cockpit smoother and more responsive.
On this basis, the 10.25-inch full LCD instrument, the 7.11-inch HUD head-up display and the 15-inch central control screen + 11.6-inch passenger screen create a wealth of ecological functions. At the same time, driving, practical, audio-visual entertainment and other application software are all available, and daily driving life will be more interesting.
The intelligent voice adopts the Avatar voice assistant customized in cooperation with iFLYTEK, which supports dialect recognition and multiple rounds of dialogue within 20s, and can issue multiple instructions at one time.
It is worth mentioning that the new car is also equipped with Huawei's 5G-V2X communication hardware, which can carry out short-range direct communication. At the same time, the new car also supports OTA upgrades and remote control and other functions to make it more convenient to use the car.
At the level of intelligent driving, the new generation Magotan is equipped with L2+ IQ customized based on Chinese road conditions. The Pilot intelligent driving assistance system can achieve efficient driving assistance from 0 to 130 km/h. The new car is also equipped with a number of functions such as Emergency Assist 3.0, KA Intersection Assist, and ABA Turning Assist to further ensure driving safety and prevent accidents.
In terms of passive safety, the new car adopts a cage safety body, and the proportion of high-strength steel is 81%, and the proportion of hot-stamping steel is 28%. It meets the C-NCAP five-star safety standard and the CIASI "G level" evaluation standard, and combines active and passive to provide thoughtful protection for vehicle safety.
In addition to keeping up with new energy vehicles in terms of intelligence and safety, the comfort configuration of the new generation Magotan has also been improved.
The vehicle has been optimized in a number of NVH places, including 69 sound packets, 30 cavity sound insulation blocks to filter noise, and the wind noise and tire noise from the outside world will be basically isolated when the windows are closed, with the Harman Kardon 14-speaker sound in the car, creating a more immersive audio-visual effect.
In addition, 30-colour ambient lighting can further enhance the mood according to the scene. In terms of physical sensation, the new generation Magotan is equipped with three-zone automatic air conditioning and zero-gravity seats, with massage/ventilation/heating and other functions to further optimize the comfort experience.
In terms of power configuration, compared with the previous model, the new generation Magotan provides three versions to choose from, and the dynamics have been optimized to a certain extent.
Among them, the entry-level model is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 110kW and a peak torque of 250Nm·m, with a 0-100km/h 9.4s and a combined fuel consumption of 6.23L/100km in WLTC mode. The more powerful version is the 1.5T version with a maximum power of 118kW and a maximum torque of 250Nm·m, with a 0-100km/h 9.1s and a combined fuel consumption of 5.8L/100km in WLTC mode.
Of course, the 2.0T version is the strongest performance among the models on sale, with a maximum engine power of 137/162kW, a peak torque of 320/350N·m, a maximum of 7.3s from 0 to 100km/h, and a minimum comprehensive fuel consumption of 6.38L/100km under WLTC working conditions. In addition, in terms of transmission, all models are matched with a 7DCT gearbox.
Write at the end:
At present, the demand for fuel vehicles in China's car parks still occupies a considerable share. Nowadays, FAW-Volkswagen's products have ushered in an overall iteration, while meeting the needs of mainstream consumer groups with intelligent technology, reducing fuel consumption through technological optimization, and configuring the stable and delicate driving texture of the German system, the new generation Magotan is still expected to become a model of B-class cars in the market segment.
