Sagitar is more spacious than Lavida Plus. Differences between Sagitar and Lavida Plus: Both Sagitar and Lavida are positioned as compact cars, but the 2021 Sagitar offers larger space and length compared to Lavida Plus. Sagitar is an A+ segment vehicle, while Lavida is an A segment car, with body dimensions of 4670×1806×1474mm and a wheelbase of 2688mm, featuring a four-door, five-seat configuration. The Sagitar uses better materials and is built on a more advanced platform, whereas the Lavida's platform is relatively outdated. Soft plastics are more appropriately used in visible interior parts, while hard plastics are less suitable for Lavida's interior. Therefore, the Sagitar outperforms the Lavida in various aspects. Advantages of each model: In terms of detail design and material quality, the Lavida falls short of the Sagitar. However, the Lavida targets the characteristics of Chinese car buyers, such as spacious driving space, comfort, fuel efficiency, rich configurations, and affordable pricing, making it highly suitable for average families. On the other hand, the Sagitar is more suitable for families with certain requirements for driving quality and sufficient budget.
I've always driven Volkswagen cars, and I feel that the Sagitar's space is indeed significantly larger than the Lavida P, especially when fully loaded with passengers, making it more comfortable. When traveling with my kids, the Sagitar offers more generous legroom in the back, making it easier to fit a stroller or large luggage. The Lavida P is also practical, but sitting in a colleague's back seat felt a bit cramped. The trunk capacity is noticeably different too, with the Sagitar's 553 liters compared to the Lavida's 510 liters—an extra 40-plus liters can fit an additional small suitcase. On the highway, the Sagitar feels more stable, making long drives less tiring. Of course, the difference isn't earth-shattering; the Lavida P is sufficient for daily use. But if you have a larger family or often carry a full load, the Sagitar's improvement is quite noticeable. However, it does come at a slightly higher price, so I recommend test-driving both to see which suits your needs.
When I was buying a car recently, I test drove the Lavida Plus and the Sagitar. As a beginner, I felt the Sagitar had more spacious room—my legs didn't feel cramped in the back seat, and there was ample headroom. The Lavida Plus was also good but slightly more compact. For daily commuting, the Lavida Plus is sufficient for me, and it's convenient for placing items in the back seat. The Sagitar's seats are softer and longer, making it more comfortable for long trips. The price difference is around 10,000 to 20,000 RMB, and personally, I chose the Lavida Plus because it's more economical and practical. A larger space is more beginner-friendly, but in actual driving, the difference isn't significant—just be a bit more careful when parking the slightly larger Sagitar. I suggest considering your budget and how many people usually ride with you.
