2 Answers
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.
