2 Answers
The 2019 new Sagitar is equipped with two types of engines: a 1.2T turbocharged engine with a maximum torque of 175 Nm and a maximum power of 85 kW, and a 1.4T turbocharged engine with a maximum torque of 250 Nm and a maximum power of 110 kW. Both engines are paired with either a 5-speed manual transmission or a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The Sagitar is a model under FAW-Volkswagen, with body dimensions of 4544mm in length, 1760mm in width, and 1461mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2578mm. The vehicle features LED high-performance composite taillights, halogen integrated headlights, a windshield with a sunshade area, green UV-protective and heat-insulating glass, a multifunctional electric sunroof, and external rearview mirrors with electric adjustment and heating functions.
I've driven the 2019 Sagitar for quite some time. It's equipped with a 1.4-liter TSI turbocharged gasoline engine from the EA211 series, delivering around 150 horsepower, and it feels quite quick during acceleration. The turbo kick provides strong push-back force, making it very handy for starting at traffic lights or overtaking. The downside is slightly noticeable wind noise at highway speeds, but it offers good fuel economy for city commuting, averaging 6-7 liters per 100 km. Compared to the older model, it focuses more on environmental friendliness and fuel efficiency. Regular maintenance, such as oil changes and turbo inspections, can extend its lifespan. Driving gently and avoiding sudden throttle inputs helps, and the turbo maintenance is straightforward. It’s suitable for users who enjoy power but don’t want to consume too much fuel.
