Does the Volkswagen Sagitar have a reverse camera?
2 Answers
2020 Sagitar models do not come with a reverse camera across the entire lineup. Here is some relevant information about reverse cameras: 1. The role of a reverse camera: A reverse video image uses a wide-angle camera device with far-infrared installed at the rear of the vehicle, allowing clear visibility of obstacles behind the car through the display screen inside the vehicle. 2. The function of a reverse camera: If the Sagitar were equipped with a reverse video image function, when the Sagitar owner shifts into reverse gear, the system would automatically activate the high-definition reverse camera located at the rear of the vehicle, clearly displaying the situation behind the car on the LCD screen, enabling the Sagitar owner to accurately grasp the road conditions behind and reverse as easily and confidently as moving forward.
A friend who has driven several generations of Sagitar tells you that most Sagitars on the market now come with a rearview camera. My own 2019 luxury version came with a high-definition camera from the factory—just shift into reverse, and the screen immediately displays a live view of the rear, complete with clear distance markers for obstacles behind. However, older base models might require an aftermarket installation, which costs around 2,000 yuan at a 4S shop for an original part. This feature is especially helpful for beginners, making it easier to spot blind-spot obstacles like stone pillars in narrow alleys. It’s also far more reliable than parking sensors in rainy or foggy conditions. If you buy a used Sagitar without this function, it’s recommended to have it installed at a reputable modification shop.
