Last time I accompanied my friend to the 4S store to check out a used Magotan, I noticed this. The current Magotan definitely has ambient lighting, especially the 330 Luxury trim and above—the white light seeping through the seams of the dashboard and door panels really adds a premium feel. But it depends on the model year; post-2020 facelift versions allow color adjustment, while older ones mostly have single-color lighting. Two weeks ago, I specifically demonstrated this when helping a colleague inspect a car—the ten-color adjustment is hidden in the infotainment system's ambient lighting menu. Setting it to blue gives a particularly cool vibe while driving. I suggest you test the lighting effect directly when viewing the car. Some base models only have a white light strip under the steering wheel, while higher trims even illuminate the footwells.

Been in the used car business long enough to tell you the hard truths. The 8th-gen Magotan comes with ambient lighting across all trims, but it's all about the fine print! The base model just gets a plain white strip under the steering wheel - technically counts as ambient lighting, I guess. If you want those color-changing lights along the dashboard seams, you'll need to spring for the 330 Luxury trim or higher. The 2021 Elite version we took in last week was decent - at least it came with a solid white light strip. The real scam? Some 2019 models with pathetically short light strips. Pro tip: always ask sellers for the VIN to check factory specs if you're after proper lighting effects. Used car dealers love pulling the 'factory upgrade' trick on unsuspecting buyers.

This is what we girls care about the most when driving! The light strip on the door panel of the current Magotan is absolutely stunning, especially when driving at night—the soft warm light peeking through the leather seams is just beautiful. But a heads-up for the ladies: the '10-color ambient lighting' the salesperson talks about can be real or fake. The real 10-color lighting means the entire dashboard glows in color, while the fake version only changes the instrument cluster colors. Last week, my bestie got tricked—she bought a 330 Leading model thinking it had color tones, only to find out only the instrument cluster changes color. A pro tip: bring a lipstick when checking out the car, place it in the storage compartment, and see if it reflects colored light—that’s the safest way to tell.
