What is the length and sense of space of the rear seats in the Sagitar?
4 Answers
The rear seat length of the Volkswagen Sagitar is approximately 1.3 meters. A passenger with a height of 172 cm entering the rear seat of the Sagitar experienced about four fingers' worth of headroom and more than two fists' worth of legroom. The overall sense of space is slightly smaller. When the tester sat in the middle rear seat of the Sagitar, there was an independent headrest, and the floor tunnel was noticeably raised and took up a significant amount of space, but it did not have a noticeable impact on legroom. More details are as follows: 1. In 2013, the Sagitar GLI perfectly interpreted the high-performance sports sedan with its extreme sports gene of "Passion Perfected," becoming the choice of young consumers who pursue intrinsic quality and are passionate about driving pleasure. 2. In 2015, the Sagitar family welcomed its newest member—the 2015 Sagitar. Upholding FAW-Volkswagen's essence of creating "high-quality cars," the new Sagitar achieved comprehensive "evolution from the heart" in terms of design, power handling, comfort, and safety. 3. On March 18, 2019, the all-new Sagitar Long-Wheelbase was launched, achieving comprehensive innovation in design philosophy, comfort and safety, and spatial layout, ushering in a new era for the A+ class sedan.
Last time I accompanied my friend on a test drive of the Sagitar, I specifically experienced the rear seats. The wheelbase of this car is quite advantageous in its class, with over two fists of space between my knees and the front seat when sitting in the back. The seat length is well-designed; for someone like me who is 1.8 meters tall, the thighs are fully supported without any overhang. The backrest angle is also comfortable, not like the stiff seats on a bus. When taking my parents out, they mentioned that sitting for over an hour straight didn’t cause any backache. The center floor hump is a bit high, but the sense of space on either side is genuinely good, and fitting three people isn’t too cramped. The trunk is also deep, and you can access items through the rear center armrest when loading luggage, which is quite practical.
As someone who frequently drives long distances, I value rear seat comfort the most. The Sagitar's rear seat cushion is sufficiently long, unlike some cars that compromise seat dimensions to make the space appear larger, providing excellent thigh support. In terms of spatial perception, the recessed headliner design ensures that even tall passengers won't have their hair brushing against the roof when sitting upright, and legroom allows for natural extension. When installing a child safety seat, there's ample space on both sides without feeling cramped, and adults can still sit comfortably. Once, I picked up three colleagues from the airport with the trunk fully packed with luggage, yet no one's knees touched the front seats in the rear. Although the middle position isn't ideal for long journeys, it's perfectly adequate for most family scenarios.
Having driven over a dozen compact sedans, the rear legroom of the Sagitar left a deep impression on me. With seat length measuring 48cm (even longer than the Sylphy), it provides noticeably better thigh support. At 183cm tall, I can fit a thermos between my knees and the front seat when sitting in the rear with the driver's seat properly adjusted. The recessed roof design creates more headroom than the specs suggest. The most practical family feature is the well-positioned ISOFIX anchors that don't compromise side seating when installing child seats. The only drawback is the high center tunnel, but the sufficiently long and soft side cushions make it perfectly suitable for daily family use.
