The method to open the towing hook cover on the Magotan is: repeatedly press around the edges of the towing hook cover to find an angle where it can be pressed open. The Magotan is equipped with a 1.4T L4 engine, featuring turbocharged intake, with a maximum horsepower of 150ps and a maximum torque of 250nm. It is a 4-door, 5-seater sedan with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The dimensions of this car are 4865mm in length, 1832mm in width, and 1471mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2871mm. It has a top speed of 208 km/h, with a front suspension type of MacPherson independent suspension and a rear suspension type of multi-link independent suspension.
When I used to drive a Volkswagen, opening the towing hook cover on the Magotan was a common task. The cover is located right in the middle of the front bumper—a small, semi-circular plastic piece. First, use your finger to gently press the lower right corner until you feel the clip release, then the cover will pop open easily. Avoid using sharp tools to pry it open to prevent scratching the paint or damaging the clip. The towing hook is usually hidden to protect it from dust and rust—just open the cover and insert the dedicated hook when towing is needed. The Magotan's design is quite thoughtful, with small ventilation holes on the cover to prevent water accumulation. Regularly check if the cover is loose or missing, as plastic parts can age over time. Proper maintenance helps extend the car's lifespan. New drivers shouldn’t panic when dealing with this—just take it slow and try gently.
