The dimensions of the Sagitar are 4753/1800/1462mm. More details about the Sagitar are as follows: 1. The Sagitar is a joint venture A+ class sedan brand under FAW-. It was introduced to the Chinese market on April 9, 2006, and its predecessor was the fifth-generation Volkswagen Jetta sedan from Germany, positioned as a "German high-performance sedan." 2. The 2.0L engine balances economy and power, with reliable quality, durability, and high low-speed torque. It can produce over 162NM of torque at 2200 rpm, offering good acceleration and fuel efficiency, making it ideal for urban use in China. The emission standard meets Euro 3. The 1.8T Sagitar leads its peers in power, featuring a small displacement, high power, advanced technology, strong performance, and fuel efficiency. It can reach a top speed of 210km/h and maintains a maximum torque of 220NM between 2000-4600 rpm.

I can certainly speak to the length of the Sagitar. Last time I drove it to the mall for parking, I distinctly noticed it was noticeably longer than the Toyota Corolla parked next to it. The current Sagitar has a total body length of 4,634 mm, which is nearly 4.7 meters. This size is considered relatively large among its class of family sedans, especially in terms of rear legroom—my 1.8-meter-tall friend still had about two fists of space in front of his knees when seated. Of course, the longer body also brings some challenges, like needing extra steering wheel turns for right-angle turns in old residential areas. Last time I tried a U-turn in a narrow alley, I almost scraped the wall.

When choosing a car, I paid special attention to the dimensions of the Sagitar, now accurate to the millimeter: 4634mm × 1780mm × 1462mm. It's a full 83mm longer than its sibling, the Bora, making the rear seating noticeably more spacious. Combined with a 2731mm wheelbase, this size is more than enough to fit a baby stroller. However, note that there are slight variations between different model years—the older National V version measures 4644mm in length, so it's best to bring a tape measure when a used car to verify.

As who frequently visit 4S shops, our repair manual clearly states: The current 3rd-generation Sagitar standard version measures 4634mm in length, which is 34mm longer than its Japanese rival, the Civic. However, the actual perceived difference is even greater because the Sagitar has a smaller engine compartment proportion, resulting in an effective cabin length of 1.82 meters. We advise owners to pay attention to the turning radius of 5.45 meters and leave half a meter of space when making U-turns on narrow roads after turning the steering wheel to full lock. This figure represents the golden ratio among German A+ segment cars, balancing both space and handling.

The current Sagitar has a body length of 4.634 meters. For comparison: Sylphy 4.651m / Toyota Corolla 4.635m / Honda Civic 4.679m. Although the Sagitar is slightly shorter on paper, it actually offers higher space utilization thanks to its short front overhang design. When choosing a car, it's recommended to bring a tape measure to check the trunk depth, which reaches 1120mm in standard mode, and can even fit a surfboard with the seats folded down. I remember helping my cousin move last year—we managed to fit three 28-inch suitcases upright in the trunk.

Last week, I accompanied my childhood friend to pick up the new Sagitar. The materials indicated a vehicle length of 4634mm. This size is quite agile for city driving—156mm shorter than the Magotan, making it easier to handle. Notably, the rear suspension takes up less space, resulting in actual cabin room surpassing some 4.7-meter-class models. During actual testing, when parked in a standard 5-meter parking space, there was still a 25cm gap between the front bumper and the vehicle ahead. A reminder for new owners: install mud flaps, as the slightly longer body tends to splash mud onto the middle section of the doors during rainy days.
