Here are the specific differences between the 2018 Magotan and the 2020 Magotan: Exterior: The 2018 Magotan still maintains a stable and grand appearance, featuring a single-sided dual exhaust at the rear. In contrast, the 2020 Magotan adopts a new headlight design, and the high-end models feature a more youthful raindrop-style front grille. Powertrain: The 2018 Magotan is equipped with three engine options: 1.4T, 1.8T, and 2.0T, with the top model featuring a high-power version of the 2.0T engine. The 2020 Magotan, on the other hand, comes with the EA211 series 1.4T engine, a low-power version of the 2.0T engine, and a high-power version of the 2.0T engine.

I drove the 2018 Magotan for several years and switched to the 2020 model last year. The difference is quite noticeable. The new model drives smoother, with much quicker engine response—no sluggishness during acceleration, and it stays stable even on cruise control at high speeds. The interior has seen significant changes: the seats are wrapped in softer materials, making long drives more comfortable without back pain, and the screen has grown from 6.5 inches to 9 inches, offering smooth, lag-free operation. The addition of a lane-keeping system is a game-changer in traffic jams, automatically following the car ahead, which is a huge relief. Fuel efficiency has also improved slightly, dropping from an average of 8.5L to 7.9L per 100 km. While the 2018 model had solid basic features, these small upgrades in the 2020 version make daily driving easier and more enjoyable, especially in urban conditions.

As someone who frequently test drives various vehicles, I can attest that the 2020 Magotan shows significant improvements over the 2018 model in both design and technology. The front fascia appears sharper, with LED headlight clusters offering wider illumination for enhanced nighttime driving safety. The interior receives a major material upgrade featuring increased soft-touch plastics that elevate the premium feel. Newly added driver assistance systems like automatic emergency braking can actively intervene in sudden situations to prevent collisions. The infotainment system now boasts a larger, higher-resolution display supporting full-screen CarPlay for more intuitive navigation. Powertrain calibration has been optimized for better fuel efficiency, reducing urban commuting consumption by approximately 1 liter. While the 2018 version remains robust, these 2020 upgrades deliver greater driving confidence and comfort, making it ideal for buyers seeking contemporary sophistication.

How to Operate the Rearview Mirror Button?

Adjust the left and right positions so that the left edge of the mirror just cuts off the right ear of your reflection in the mirror. When adjusting the up and down positions, place the distant horizon in the center, and adjust the left and right positions so that the car body occupies 1/4 of the mirror's area. For the right rearview mirror, adjust the up and down positions to occupy about 2/3 of the mirror. Adjust the left and right positions so that the car body occupies 1/4 of the mirror's area.

What Are the Standard Dimensions of a Sedan?

Standard sedan dimensions are categorized into several levels. For family cars, the length typically ranges from 3800mm to 4300mm, width from 1600mm to 1800mm, and height from 1400mm to 1600mm. 1. Length: Length is the most influential parameter affecting a car's purpose, functionality, and ease of use. Therefore, vehicle classes are generally divided based on length. A longer body means more longitudinal usable space, which is obvious; however, an excessively long body can make turning and parking inconvenient. 2. Width: Width mainly affects passenger space and maneuverability. For passenger sedans, if three seats arranged side by side are required to provide a spacious feel (primarily sufficient shoulder room), the width generally needs to reach 1.8 meters. In recent years, due to increased safety requirements, the thickness of door panels has increased, leading to a general increase in vehicle width. 3. Height: Vehicle height directly impacts the center of gravity (handling) and interior space. Most sedans have a height below 1.5 meters, significantly lower than the natural sitting height of a human, primarily to lower the vehicle's center of gravity and ensure stability during high-speed turns to prevent rollovers. 4. Wheelbase: Once the vehicle length is determined, the wheelbase becomes the most critical factor affecting passenger space, as the majority of two-box and three-box sedans position passenger seats between the front and rear axles. A longer wheelbase increases longitudinal space for passengers, directly benefiting legroom, which significantly impacts ride comfort.

Why does the new battery lose power when accelerating?

Here are the reasons why the new battery loses power when accelerating: 1. High starting current: The current is about three times that of normal driving. The combined resistance of the wiring, internal resistance of the battery, and the controller's field-effect transistors, along with high-current discharge, causes significant voltage fluctuations. 2. Charging duration: Battery self-discharge. Some users do not ride their electric vehicles immediately after fully charging them, leaving the vehicle unused for several days without timely recharging. 3. Damp wiring: If the electric vehicle is frequently used in rainy or snowy weather, damp wiring could also be a possible reason.

What are the steps for starting a car for the first time?

First, check around the car for any obstacles and inspect the tire pressure. Ensure safety before opening the door and entering the vehicle. Next, check the dashboard. Then, from left to right, inspect the left rearview mirror, and of course, also glance at the dashboard to check the fuel level and whether the headlights are on. After that, fasten the seatbelt, turn on the left turn signal, press down the clutch, shift into first gear, release the handbrake, and then slowly release the clutch to start the car while ensuring safety.

What does new energy vehicle quota or regular quota mean?

New energy vehicle quota refers to the eligibility to purchase new energy vehicles, while regular quota refers to the eligibility to purchase either fuel-powered vehicles or new energy vehicles. Regular quota has broader applicability: Entities and individuals holding regular quotas can purchase both conventional fuel-powered vehicles and new energy vehicles. However, those holding new energy vehicle quotas can only purchase new energy vehicles. Scope of new energy vehicles: New energy vehicle models eligible for purchase under the new energy quota are listed in the catalog issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China. Currently, this includes only pure electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. Some cities also allow the purchase of range-extended electric vehicles.

What are the techniques for reverse parking in an underground garage?

First, determine if the parking space is 'qualified'. When the front wheels pass the parking space, start turning the steering wheel to make the car move in the direction away from the parking space. Utilize the available width of the passage to tilt the car's position as much as possible. This allows the driver to observe the rear danger points of the vehicle through the rearview mirror. When a 'gap' between your car and the vehicles on both sides is visible in the right rearview mirror, you can adjust the steering wheel to modify the car's reversing trajectory and try to straighten it for parking.
