I bought the new Sagitar last year and have found it very easy to drive so far. It's equipped with Volkswagen's latest 1.5T engine, the EA211 series, with around 160 horsepower. Compared to the old 1.4T, it's noticeably more powerful, accelerates faster but very smoothly, without any jerking. In city traffic, the fuel consumption is just over 7 liters, and it can drop to just over 5 liters on the highway. The best part is that it can run on 92-octane gasoline, no need to pamper it with 95. This engine also features cylinder deactivation technology, which saves fuel when cruising. Additionally, the engine is very quiet, with almost no noise heard when the windows are closed, making long drives less tiring. Maintenance is also hassle-free, with oil changes only needed every 10,000 kilometers.

Volkswagen's 1.5T engine is indeed thoughtfully designed. It features an optimized combustion system with a compression ratio of 12.5:1, paired with high-tumble intake ports for better air-fuel mixing. The turbocharger employs variable geometry technology, delivering peak torque at just 1,400 rpm for responsive low-end performance. Tech enthusiasts will appreciate its active thermal management system for faster warm-up during cold starts. The cylinder block utilizes APS coating to reduce friction, working in tandem with a dual-cycle system (Otto + Miller) to balance power and fuel efficiency. Officially rated at 37% thermal efficiency, real-world highway testing achieved 5.3L/100km. This powertrain pairs with the DQ200 transmission, which demonstrates significantly improved shift logic.

The new Sagitar is exceptionally easy to drive, with a very intelligent engine. My daily commute is 20 kilometers, and the 1.5T power is sufficient without being too aggressive, making it perfect for school runs. The steering wheel turns lightly, and the start-stop vibration when parking is minimal. The fuel consumption is genuinely low—a full tank can cover around 700 kilometers. On the highway, the car feels very stable, and wind noise control is better than the previous model. Maintenance costs are moderate, with minor services at the 4S dealership costing just over 600 yuan. The only slight downside is a minor power dip when using the air conditioning in summer, but it's still perfectly adequate for daily use. After driving it for over half a year, there have been virtually no minor issues, and the reliability is reassuring.

The new Sagitar primarily uses the 1.5T EA211 EVO2 engine, with some configurations retaining the 1.4T option. The highlight of this engine lies in its adoption of Miller cycle technology, which delays the closing of the intake valves to achieve an expansion ratio greater than the compression ratio. The turbo response is exceptionally quick, with 250 Nm of torque available from low RPMs. For daily driving, Comfort mode is recommended for its fuel efficiency and smoothness. It's important to avoid aggressive throttle inputs immediately after a cold start; wait until the coolant temperature reaches 90°C before spirited driving. For maintenance, be sure to use VW508-certified 0W-20 low-ash engine oil to prevent particulate filter clogging.

What to Do If a Beginner Doesn't Know How to Park?

When parking, beginners should choose to reverse into the parking space. When there is only one parking space available, they should drive past the current parking space. Stop when the rear of their car is aligned with the rear of the car in front, maintaining a distance of 1 meter between the two cars. Then, turn the steering wheel fully to the right while stationary, forming a 45-degree angle, and slowly reverse. When the front of their car and the rear of the car in front are in a straight line, turn the steering wheel fully in the opposite direction, then slowly reverse again to park the car properly.

Should the Sagitar 1.4T use 92 or 95 octane gasoline?

According to the official vehicle manual recommendation, the Sagitar 1.4T should use 95 octane gasoline. In addition to checking the suitable gasoline grade in the vehicle manual for the Sagitar 1.4T, you can also find it on the fuel tank cap, which will also indicate the recommended grade. Generally, the gasoline grade can also be determined based on the engine's compression ratio. Vehicles with an engine compression ratio between 8.6-9.9 should use 92 octane gasoline, while those with a compression ratio between 10.0-11.5 should use 95 octane gasoline. However, with the application of some new technologies, the gasoline grade cannot be solely determined by the compression ratio. A high compression ratio can also be adjusted to use lower octane gasoline because, besides the compression ratio, other factors such as ignition timing, turbocharging technology, and Atkinson cycle technology also play a role. Generally, the higher the gasoline octane number, the higher the octane value and the better the anti-knock performance. 92 octane gasoline contains 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane, while 95 octane gasoline contains 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. If the Sagitar 1.4T occasionally uses the wrong gasoline grade, simply switch back to the correct grade after consumption. However, long-term use of the wrong gasoline grade can have the following effects: For vehicles recommended to use lower octane gasoline, using higher octane gasoline will not cause damage, but the increase in octane value will alter the fuel's ignition point, leading to delayed combustion in the engine. This means the engine's power output and thermal efficiency will decrease, resulting in poorer performance. For vehicles recommended to use higher octane gasoline, using lower octane gasoline can cause engine knocking. Due to the significantly lower octane value, the gasoline's ignition point decreases, causing premature ignition during the compression stroke. If combustion occurs before the spark plug ignites, resistance will arise during the upward stroke. This resistance can make the engine run very unstably. If the knocking is imperceptible, it may only increase noise without significant damage to the engine. However, noticeable knocking indicates severe engine conditions, affecting not only driving stability but also causing abnormal wear on pistons and cylinders, and in severe cases, cylinder scoring.

What are the penalties for a vehicle being overdue for inspection for six months?

If a vehicle's inspection is overdue for less than three months, you can simply go through the renewal process, and you will receive a verbal warning without any fine. If a vehicle's inspection is overdue for more than three months but less than two years, you will need to pay a fine and have 3 points deducted from your driving license. If a vehicle has not undergone an annual inspection for more than two years, its registration file will be canceled, and the process to restore the file is relatively complicated. Generally, a fine must be paid before the file can be restored. The vehicle owner or the unit responsible for the vehicle must fill out the "Motor Vehicle Annual Inspection Form" and submit it to the designated location for inspection by the date specified by the local vehicle management office.

How to Reset the Tire Pressure Monitoring on the Teana?

Teana tire pressure monitoring reset method: First, turn on the ignition switch, then press and hold the tire pressure monitoring reset button until you hear a "ding" sound before releasing it. The tire pressure monitoring system will then store the current normal tire pressure data, automatically clear the previous data, and finally, the warning light on the dashboard will turn off, indicating the tire pressure reset is complete. The tire pressure monitoring indicator is a yellow symbol, an irregular circle with no seal on top and four small spikes at the bottom, containing an exclamation mark inside. The illumination of the tire pressure monitoring indicator indicates abnormal tire pressure. Abnormal tire pressure is generally caused by one of the following three reasons: Abnormal tire pressure: Usually, an alarm will be triggered if the pressure is below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. In this case, tire inspection and pressure adjustment are required. Tire pressure monitoring not reset: After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure reset is not performed in time, the tire pressure monitoring system will still record the previous data, causing the tire pressure monitoring indicator to light up. Simply performing a tire pressure reset will resolve this issue. Damaged tire pressure sensor: The tire pressure sensor, which is used to monitor tire pressure, is directly installed inside the tire and connected to the tire inflation valve. If the tire pressure sensor is damaged due to impact while driving, it will also cause the tire pressure warning light to illuminate. For sensor damage issues, the only solution is to replace it with a new component.

What is the method for sealing the transmission?

Apply sealant to the leakage point, which involves cleaning the surface sludge before applying the sealant. This method does not require disassembling the transmission structure. It is not ruled out that some transmissions may experience leakage issues. If traces of fluid flow are observed on the oil-stained surface, the vehicle owner should promptly visit a service center for inspection. If the mating surface of the transmission housing is damaged, an appropriately thickened paper gasket should be added at the damaged area. If the sealing paper gasket is damaged, it should be replaced with an identical one. Loose screws should be tightened in a timely manner.
