There are no major differences between the 2017 Magotan and the 2018 Magotan, with only some minor changes in details. Both models still adopt Volkswagen's family-style design language, but the 2018 model appears more refined in certain aspects compared to the 2017 version. Below are the key differences: 1. The 2018 model features a more sporty exterior design, with sharper body lines and a horizontal front grille that incorporates chrome trim for a flatter appearance. 2. For the interior, the most notable upgrade in the 2018 model is the adoption of a continuous air vent design, along with a driver-oriented center console that enhances the driving experience. 3. Although the exterior changes in the 2018 model are subtle, it maintains the same sophisticated and elegant styling as its predecessor.

After driving both models, I noticed quite a few differences. The 2017 Magotan appears more conservative, while the 2018 model features a trendier grille design with smoother lines, and upgraded full-LED headlights that make night driving brighter. Inside, the 2018 version has a slightly larger infotainment screen, making operation more convenient with faster navigation response. The seat materials have also been improved for better comfort on long trips. The wheel design has been subtly updated to give a more youthful feel. Friends often mention that the 2018 model offers more color options, like that eye-catching sapphire blue. These small changes collectively enhance the driving experience, making the car look more premium and improving daily driving moods. If you frequently park or pick up friends, the 2018 model's exterior and convenience features are worth considering—after all, details make life more refined and enjoyable.

As a car enthusiast, I noticed significant configuration differences between the 2017 and 2018 models. The 2018 version upgraded its multimedia system to support Apple CarPlay, allowing seamless integration for navigation and music with just one click, offering smoother operation compared to the 2017 model. Active safety features like adaptive cruise control might be more responsive, making long-distance driving more relaxing. The engine remains largely the same, but the 2018 model has slightly better fuel efficiency, saving about half a liter per 100 kilometers, and it's quieter in actual driving. The trunk space hasn't changed, but the interior materials have improved, and the storage compartment design is more practical, keeping things organized. It's advisable to check the maintenance records as the 2018 model might be slightly easier to maintain. These small updates make driving more intelligent and comfortable, saving time during daily commutes, especially in congested areas, making it worth test-driving to experience the functional improvements.

After comparing, I found the 2017 Magotan is more traditional, while the 2018 model mainly improves in technical details. The 2018 version has a larger screen with faster response and quicker navigation loading, making driving more convenient. It adds a blind spot monitoring system to the safety features, giving novice drivers more confidence. The exterior design remains largely the same, but the improved lighting system provides better visibility at night. The seat materials have been upgraded for more comfort on long trips. Maintenance costs are similar, but the 2018 model's newer features make upkeep more convenient. There are no major changes in power tuning, but fuel efficiency has been optimized for better economy. Overall, the 2018 model is more user-friendly and practical, making daily commutes and family trips more worry-free.

Why does brake failure occur when brake pads overheat?

High temperatures can cause vaporization of brake fluid. Below is relevant information about brake pads: 1. Classification of brake pads: Asbestos brake pads (mostly phased out), semi-metallic brake pads, low-metallic brake pads, NAO formula brake pads, ceramic brake pads, NAO ceramic brake pads. 2. Ceramic brake pads vs traditional brake pads: In traditional brake pads, metal is the primary material generating friction, providing strong braking force but with significant wear and prone to noise. After installing ceramic brake pads, abnormal squealing (clicking sounds) won't occur during normal driving. Since ceramic brake pads contain no metal components, they avoid the metallic screeching noise caused by friction between traditional metal brake pads and their counterparts (i.e., brake pads and rotors). 3. Stable friction coefficient: Ordinary brake pads use immature friction materials, and excessively high friction coefficients can lead to loss of directional control during braking, pad burning, rotor scratching, and other safety hazards. Even when brake rotor temperatures reach 650°C, ceramic brake pads maintain a friction coefficient between 0.45-0.55, ensuring excellent braking performance.
