3 Answers
The new Sagitar measures 4753mm in length, 1800mm in width, and 1462mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2731mm. Here are the specific details: Comfortable interior space: The 80mm increase in length significantly enhances the interior space, particularly improving rear passenger comfort. Wheelbase determines space: The wheelbase defines a vehicle's interior space. As a sedan, the overall spatial structure of the 2019 Sagitar 280TSI DSG R-Line National V model remains highly satisfactory.
I used to drive the older Jetta, with a body length of about 4.65 meters, width of 1.8 meters, height of 1.46 meters, and a wheelbase of around 2.65 meters. It was quite agile to drive and parking in the neighborhood wasn't a hassle. Later, I switched to the new model, which has grown significantly in size: the length increased to 4.79 meters, the width slightly to just over 1.8 meters, the height a bit taller to 1.47 meters, and the wheelbase extended to 2.73 meters. These changes have made the rear seating much more spacious, making family outings more comfortable, especially on long trips where legs don't feel cramped. However, the larger size requires more caution when parking, particularly in tight spots, but thankfully there's a reversing camera to assist. Overall, the new model shows a clear improvement in space practicality, making it more suitable for family needs.
As an automotive enthusiast, I often compare vehicle dimensions. The older Jetta model measures approximately 4652mm in length, 1799mm in width, 1456mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2651mm. The newer version, however, is about 4791mm long, 1801mm wide, 1465mm tall, and boasts a 2731mm wheelbase. The 80mm increase in wheelbase directly enhances rear-seat comfort, providing more generous legroom. The extended length gives the car a more elongated silhouette, while the minimal width change maintains similar handling characteristics. The slight height increase improves headroom, making it more accommodating for taller passengers. The larger dimensions might affect urban driving maneuverability, requiring extra attention when parking. The differences between the old and new models highlight Volkswagen's optimization for practicality.
