What does the new Magotan B8 mean?
2 Answers
Volkswagen B8 refers to the new generation Magotan. B8 is just an internal designation used by Volkswagen, which can also be understood as a code name. 'B' is the internal code name for Volkswagen's Passat. Overseas, the Magotan is named Passat, and as of today, it has reached its eighth generation, so its full name should be Passat-B8. Below is an introduction to the Volkswagen B8: 1. The new Magotan adopts the MQB platform. Most of Volkswagen's future models will basically be built on this platform. 2. Compared to the older PQ46 platform, its body strength is higher, resulting in improved collision safety. At the same time, the vehicle weight is reduced by nearly 170 pounds, which can effectively reduce fuel consumption and carbon emissions, and also enhance handling performance.
The new Magotan B8 refers to the all-new eighth-generation Magotan model launched by FAW-Volkswagen, built on Volkswagen's latest MQB platform, representing a significant technological upgrade. I know many car owners are curious about this name. Magotan is actually the localized name for the Volkswagen Passat series in China, while B8 is the generational numbering commonly used by German cars, with B representing a B-segment sedan and 8 indicating the eighth generation. The car has a more sporty exterior design, such as sharper LED headlights at the front and rear, a fully digital instrument cluster and smart large screen in the interior, and more spacious dimensions compared to the previous model. In terms of power, it offers 1.4T and 2.0T engine options, as well as a new energy version with a plug-in hybrid system, capable of over 50 kilometers of pure electric range, making it suitable for urban commuting. I've driven it a few times and found the handling stable, with rich intelligent driving assistance features like automatic parking and lane keeping, making driving much more effortless. However, I should remind everyone that the price might be relatively high during the initial launch period, so I recommend test-driving and comparing at 4S stores before making a decision.
