How to Choose Between the 2021 Lavida and Sagitar?
3 Answers
The differences between the 2021 Lavida and Sagitar are as follows: 1. Exterior Design: There is a significant gap between the Lavida and Sagitar. The Lavida focuses on the mid-to-low-end market and the younger demographic, so its exterior is more dynamic and vibrant, appearing more youthful. In contrast, the Sagitar primarily targets the mid-to-high-end automotive market, featuring a more business-oriented and upscale design, making it more suitable for business professionals with work needs. Therefore, in terms of appearance, the Sagitar is the better choice. 2. Space Design: In terms of interior space, the Lavida caters to mid-to-low-end customers, offering a relatively spacious cabin design. The Sagitar, being more business-oriented, has a less practical interior space layout. However, although the Sagitar's space is not as large, its interior is more luxurious.
I've been wanting to switch to a family car, and recently compared the 2021 Lavida and Sagitar. The conclusion is that the Lavida is more suitable for ordinary families like ours. In terms of space, the Lavida has quite spacious rear seats, making it stress-free for child seats or carrying items, plus it has low fuel consumption—around 6.5L per 100km in urban driving, which is quite economical. The Sagitar is slightly larger with better handling, but it costs 20,000 to 30,000 yuan more, and the trunk depth isn’t significantly greater. For daily commuting and weekend shopping, the Lavida’s practicality is more than sufficient, and its maintenance costs are lower—things like oil changes at the 4S store aren’t expensive. The Sagitar does have a more refined interior, but for family use, practicality matters more, making the Lavida the top choice.
As someone who drives frequently, especially on mountain roads and highways, I focused on the driving performance of the Lavida and Sagitar when choosing a car. The Sagitar's 1.4T engine delivers noticeably stronger power, with quicker acceleration response, making overtaking effortless, and its steering feedback is more agile, with stable body control during high-speed cornering. The Lavida offers higher comfort, with softer seats, but its initial acceleration is slower, and it can feel a bit dull over long drives. In terms of power difference, the Sagitar is about 1 second faster in 0-100 km/h acceleration, and its braking is sharper. The Lavida is more suitable for city commuting, being hassle-free and easy to drive. The Sagitar offers more driving fun; if you frequently take long trips or value handling, spending a bit more to choose it is wiser. In terms of handling details like suspension tuning, the Sagitar leans towards sportiness, while the Lavida is more comfort-oriented.
