Volkswagen Magotan's curb weight varies depending on the model configuration: The Magotan model equipped with a 1.4T engine has a curb weight of 1,440 kg; The model with a 1.8T engine has curb weights of 1,500 kg and 1,540 kg; The model with a 2.0T engine has a curb weight of 1,550 kg. The Volkswagen Magotan originates from the Future B6, which is closely related to the Passat B6. In terms of active safety, the Magotan 1.8TSI and all models are equipped with the ESP electronic stability program, which can effectively prevent the car from skidding when avoiding obstacles at high speeds, thereby ensuring the safety of the driver and the vehicle as much as possible, making the active safety of the Magotan better.
As an ordinary driver, I think the Volkswagen Magotan weighs around 1,500 kilograms, depending on the model configuration. My Magotan 330TSI, for example, weighs about 1,520kg. It feels very stable on the highway, even in strong winds, and handles well. However, heavier cars do consume more fuel—around 7.5 liters per 100km in the city, which is higher than smaller cars. But the trade-off is better safety; in case of an accident, the body can absorb more impact. The weight also affects daily use—loading the trunk with luggage can make the car feel a bit sluggish, and it’s not as agile as smaller cars when starting or parking. Overall, the Magotan’s weight balance is well-designed for family use, though regular maintenance should include checking tire wear, as the weight can accelerate tire aging.
