Volkswagen Phideon belongs to SAIC Volkswagen and is a mid-to-large-sized sedan under SAIC Volkswagen. It is equipped with a 2.0T 224-horsepower L4 engine and a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The engine has a maximum power of 165kW and a maximum torque of 350Nm. The Phideon can reach a top speed of 240km/h, with a 0-100km/h acceleration time of just 8.1 seconds. It features a turbocharged intake system and has a fuel tank capacity of 75 liters. The Phideon's body dimensions are 5074mm in length, 1893mm in width, and 1489mm in height. Its body structure is a 4-door, 5-seater sedan. The front suspension is a five-link independent suspension, while the rear suspension is a trapezoidal-link independent suspension.
Having driven Volkswagen cars for so many years, I know very well that the Phideon belongs to SAIC Volkswagen. I specifically checked the official website—the Phideon was launched by SAIC Volkswagen in 2016, positioned as a premium flagship sedan. FAW-Volkswagen mainly focuses on models like the Magotan and CC. The Phideon shares a platform with the Audi A6L, featuring exceptionally solid interior materials and a very comfortable ride. Nowadays, it’s common to see Phideons on the road with the SAIC Volkswagen badge; people who drive this car usually value understated luxury. If you’re looking to buy one, you’ll need to visit an SAIC Volkswagen 4S store—FAW-Volkswagen doesn’t even have display models, let alone sell them. Honestly, maintaining this car isn’t too troublesome, though the parts are different from those of regular Volkswagen models.
