The changes of the new generation Volkswagen Magotan ( pictures | configurations | inquiries ) can be seen with the naked eye. At the same time, judging from the online reviews, it seems that the new Magotan has a lower rate of negative reviews among all B-class joint venture cars, so we also took this opportunity to visit the local 4S store and personally experience the Magotan B9, which is younger and smarter than the old model. So without further ado, let's embark on the journey of this Magotan B9.

Let's talk about the appearance first. The exterior design of the new Volkswagen Magotan can be said to be full of technology, and it is also younger than the previous generation. For example, from the real photos, it can be found that the front face of the new Magotan uses a through-type daytime running light strip, which can be connected to the car logo to light up together. In addition, the sharp headlights on both sides, combined with the through-type air intake at the bottom, further enhance the sporty atmosphere of the front face. However, it should be noted that the air intake grille of the new Volkswagen Magotan is a bit narrow, and smoked plastic parts are also used to create the so-called youthful and sporty feeling, but from a certain perspective, it still gives people a visual effect of combining modern fashion with traditional retro.

As for the side of the car, the Magotan B9 is basically the same as the old model except for the new wheel shape. However, from the rear of the car, the through-type taillights are consistent with the front face style, and the logo at the rear can also be lit up, which can bring a good sense of modern technology at night. Not only that, the new Volkswagen Magotan also integrates dynamic welcome lights, and the through-type taillights can give a certain sense of ceremony when lit.

Secondly, in terms of interior, the new Volkswagen Magotan comes standard with a 10.25-inch full LCD instrument panel, and also has a 12.9-inch floating 2K central control screen. The central control screen size of the top-end version is even 15 inches, and it is combined with the 11.6-inch co-pilot entertainment screen exclusive to the top-end model, further enriching the intelligence of the front row. In addition, the new Volkswagen Magotan is also equipped with the Snapdragon 8155 chip, which is combined with the mainstream App inside the car machine, thus providing a better car experience for the front row passengers. In terms of other configurations, you can see that the new Volkswagen Magotan has also replaced the knob-operated hand-held gear shift mechanism, and also has wireless charging for mobile phones (but only supports 15W).

After coming to the back row, the 2871mm wheelbase is still the advantage of Magotan in the same market, and it also brings spacious rear space. It is also worth mentioning that compared with the old model, the rear seats of the new Magotan not only have heated seats, but also newly added seat ventilation and massage functions, plus the electrically adjustable seat backrest, it creates a riding experience similar to that of an executive-class business sedan. Of course, as for the comfort configuration of the front seats, ventilation, heating and massage are also provided, but as for the heating function (front and rear seats), the entire new Magotan series needs to be equipped with it.

Finally, in terms of power, from the intuitive parameters, we can see that the new Volkswagen Magotan only provides two power sets, namely the new 1.5T engine and the previous 2.0T high-power version. As for the 1.5T engine, this power set has achieved a balance in performance and fuel consumption. The 160 horsepower can bring it an acceleration of 9.1 seconds to break 100 kilometers, while also taking into account the comprehensive fuel consumption of about 6L per 100 kilometers.

However, for most users, when purchasing a Magotan, they generally consider the 2.0T low-power version. Therefore, considering that the 2.0T of the Magotan B9 only has a high-power version, there will be more and more Magotan 380 TSI on the road in the future. And compared with the 1,5T version of the Magotan B9, the 2.0T high-power model brings 220 horsepower and a 0-100 performance of 7.4 seconds, which will make you more confident when accelerating and overtaking, and it also does not have the "small horse pulling a big cart" feeling of the 1.5T.

Editor's Summary

In fact, whether it is the SAIC Volkswagen Passat or the FAW-Volkswagen Magotan, these two cars have left a deep impression on the people. At the same time, among the competing models of the same price, these two cars are relatively more business-oriented products. Of course, after the above simple analysis of the new Volkswagen Magotan, it is not difficult to see that the Magotan B9, like the ninth-generation Camry, is more concerned about the car purchasing needs of Chinese consumers. For example, the Snapdragon 8155 chip mentioned above, as well as the new DJI intelligent driving system and richer comfort configurations, are much better than the old models. But then again, judging from the current price of the new Volkswagen Magotan, the new car does not actually bring too much competitiveness, so for users who want to get the Magotan B9, it might as well calm down and give it 2-3 months.
