Is the Magotan Front-Wheel Drive or Rear-Wheel Drive?
2 Answers
The Magotan is a front-engine, front-wheel-drive car, a mid-size sedan under FAW-Volkswagen. Most family sedans adopt the front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout. Front-wheel-drive vehicles typically have a transversely mounted engine, while rear-wheel-drive vehicles usually have a longitudinally mounted engine. Below is some relevant information about the Magotan: 1. The 2019 Magotan is equipped with three engines: a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine, a low-power version of the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, and a high-power version of the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. All three engines are paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. 2. The Magotan features a MacPherson strut independent suspension at the front and a multi-link independent suspension at the rear.
Front-wheel drive is the standard configuration for the Magotan, and I was initially concerned about this when choosing it. The salesperson mentioned that most Volkswagen MQB platform vehicles are designed with front-wheel drive, which offers better fuel efficiency and durability. For daily commutes, the fuel consumption is generally around 7L, making it quite economical. In terms of space, the front-wheel-drive structure provides more room in the rear seats, making it more convenient for children during family trips. In terms of handling, it doesn’t slip in rainy weather, has quick brake response, and high safety ratings. Maintenance is simple and cost-effective. I recommend friends to focus on these points—it’s definitely worth buying.
