What are the differences between the Sagitar and the Bora?
2 Answers
Bora and Sagitar differ in quality, production technology, and configuration. Different production technologies: The Bora is a product of Volkswagen's PQ34 platform; while the Sagitar is the latest product of Volkswagen's PQ35 platform. Different configurations: The Bora does not have rear air vents; while the Sagitar has independent rear suspension. The front of the new Sagitar maintains the unique style of the Volkswagen brand, with a sporty X-shaped DNA that exudes dynamic temperament in a fashionable way. The front grille adopts a three-slat design, with added chrome trim to make the vehicle more full-bodied and refined. The newly integrated xenon headlights and L-shaped LED daytime running lights give the new Sagitar's front face more visual impact.
The Sagitar and Bora are both popular models from Volkswagen, but they differ significantly in terms of usage. I drive the Bora in the city and find its compact size makes parking a breeze, especially in crowded neighborhoods—it can squeeze into a spot in one go. For daily commuting, it’s fuel-efficient, averaging around 6-7 liters per 100 kilometers, which is quite economical. However, on highways or long trips, the chassis feels less stable, and noise insulation is mediocre—after a while, the cabin noise can get tiresome. The Sagitar, on the other hand, has a longer wheelbase, offering noticeably more space. The rear seats can comfortably accommodate three adults, and the trunk is deep enough for a large suitcase, making it ideal for weekend family trips. In terms of features, the Sagitar comes with advanced options like automatic climate control and cruise control, costing about 10,000 to 20,000 RMB more, but the added convenience is worth it. If you frequently drive long distances or travel with family, I’d recommend spending extra for the Sagitar. For city commuting alone, the Bora is more than sufficient.
