What are the differences between the Magotan B7 and B8?
3 Answers
Differences between the Magotan B8 and B7 engines: 1. The most intuitive feeling when driving the B8 compared to the B7 is that the brake dive phenomenon has basically disappeared, and understeer has also improved, thanks to the forward shift of the front axle and optimized weight distribution. 2. TFSI refers to an FSI engine with turbocharging (T), abbreviated as TFSI, commonly used in Audi series models. In the Volkswagen series, turbocharged engines are abbreviated as TSI. The Magotan TSI engine adopts fuel direct injection technology, where fuel is precisely calculated and directly injected into the combustion chamber to mix with air for combustion. 3. This optimizes the air-fuel mixture efficiency, making combustion more complete and efficient, thereby enhancing engine power, improving throttle response, while reducing fuel consumption and emissions. While delivering strong power, the TSI engine operates with higher efficiency.
As a car enthusiast, I have in-depth knowledge about the differences between the Magotan B7 and B8. In simple terms, the most fundamental upgrade is the platform: the B7 was based on the PQ46 platform, while the B8 switched to the MQB platform, resulting in a lighter yet more rigid body, significantly improving driving stability and reducing body roll during cornering. Under the hood, the B8 upgraded to the third-generation EA888 turbocharged engine, delivering smoother power output and approximately 10% better fuel efficiency. The suspension was also fine-tuned for a more refined ride, with notably improved damping performance at high speeds. These incremental improvements make the B8 more reliable in maintenance—for instance, the MQB platform's higher parts commonality simplifies sourcing replacements during repairs. Overall, the B8 represents a generational leap forward, offering a more dependable daily driving experience compared to the B7, which was occasionally prone to minor issues.
As a family owner who frequently drives long distances, I find the Magotan B8 far surpasses the B7 in terms of comfort. The interior space is noticeably larger, especially the rear legroom, making it more comfortable for stretching—kids no longer complain about feeling cramped. The seat materials have been upgraded with thicker padding, eliminating backaches even after three hours of driving. Storage designs are more thoughtful too, like the added hidden compartment in the center console for phones and small items. The key improvement is noise control: the B8’s engine insulation is better, and wind noise at high speeds is significantly reduced. Coupled with the quiet operation of the AC system, the whole family can chat and rest comfortably during weekend trips. This makes it much more practical than the B7, which tends to feel exhausting on long drives. By the way, the optimized space allows for an extra large suitcase in the trunk—perfect for family road trips.
