Does the Volkswagen Sagitar have a reversing camera?
2 Answers
Volkswagen Sagitar does not have a reversing camera. The function of a reversing camera is to inform the driver of surrounding obstacles through image display, helping the driver eliminate blind spots and unclear vision defects, thereby improving driving safety. The reversing camera is a safety auxiliary device for parking and reversing. When reversing, the driver can see the situation behind the car on the reversing camera display to avoid accidents caused by unawareness of the rear situation. The front suspension of the Volkswagen Sagitar is a MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension is a multi-link independent suspension. It is equipped with a 1.2T inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, with a maximum horsepower of 116PS, a maximum torque of 175Nm, and a maximum power of 85kW. It is matched with a 5-speed manual transmission.
As an owner of a Volkswagen Sagitar, I opted for the high-end version when purchasing the car, which comes with a rearview camera. It's incredibly useful, especially when reversing at night—it clearly shows any obstacles behind, so I don’t have to worry about hitting anything. Older or base models might not have this feature. For example, my neighbor’s 2018 entry-level version doesn’t have it and had to spend a few hundred to install one. Nowadays, most configurations of the new Sagitar come with a rearview camera, so be sure to check the official specifications or ask the dealer before buying, and test the feature during a test drive. I think driving without a rearview camera is too risky, especially for beginners who are more prone to accidents. If the budget allows, upgrading to the high-end version is worth it—safety comes first. Having a rearview camera also saves a lot of hassle, eliminating the need to rely solely on radar to guess positions.
