3 Answers
The rear seat of the New Sagitar cannot be lifted; only the backrest can be folded down. The New Sagitar is a German spacious A+ class comfort sedan with a body length, width, and height of 4644mm, 1778mm, and 1482mm respectively, and a wheelbase of 2651mm. The new Sagitar is equipped with two engines: one is a 1.2-liter turbocharged engine, and the other is a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine. The 1.2-liter turbocharged engine has a maximum power of 116 horsepower and a maximum torque of 175 Nm, paired with either a 5-speed manual transmission or a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The 1.4-liter turbocharged engine has a maximum power of 150 horsepower and a maximum torque of 250 Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The front suspension of the New Sagitar uses a MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension uses a multi-link independent suspension.
When I first encountered the new Sagitar, I was also confused about how to lift the rear seats, but after actually doing it, I found it super simple: first, clear any debris around the seats to ensure safety, bend down to locate the position at the bottom of the front edge of the seat—usually there’s a plastic pull ring or fabric strap handle there—gently pull it upward until you hear a click to unlock, then grip the edge of the seat and lift it up with force. Be careful not to yank it abruptly to prevent jamming or damaging the mechanism. Once lifted, the seat can be folded flat to expand the trunk space, making it convenient for large items. After practicing a few times, you’ll get the hang of it. Newcomers don’t need to worry about damaging the car, as it’s designed to be user-friendly. Always ensure no one is in the rear seats before operating to avoid accidental pinching—these small details can prevent unnecessary trouble. Trying it yourself can also boost your confidence in using the car and save you the hassle of visiting a repair shop.
As a long-time Volkswagen owner, the rear seat lifting mechanism in the new Sagitar is actually quite user-friendly. The design utilizes an adjustable lever system: locate the metal or plastic hook groove structure at the edge of the seat base, apply appropriate upward force to unlock it, and support the cushion with your hand while lifting to maintain stability. During every maintenance session, I also inspect the condition of the moving parts and regularly clean them with a damp cloth to prevent dust buildup from affecting smooth operation. If rust is found, applying some lubricating oil can extend its lifespan. This method is more stable than those of other brands, especially useful for enlarging luggage space after long trips. It's advisable to develop the habit of checking the connection points for safety once a year. If it gets stuck, avoid forcing it and seek a professional technician instead. Maintaining these small devices well can significantly prolong the overall lifespan of the vehicle.
