What is the Volkswagen Magotan?
2 Answers
Volkswagen Magotan is the first mid-to-high-end sedan in the Volkswagen series with a name starting with 'M'. Its full English name is Magotan. Magotan is the first mid-to-high-end sedan: As the first mid-to-high-end sedan launched by FAW-Volkswagen under the Volkswagen brand, the Magotan entered the Chinese market in 2007. In 2011, the B7 generation was introduced to China by FAW-Volkswagen and continued to be named Magotan. To meet consumers' demand for comfort, the B7 was natively lengthened, referred to by the media as the Magotan B7L, or the all-new Magotan. As an innovative and luxurious German high-end sedan, the all-new Magotan is manufactured according to C-segment production standards. The design of the all-new Magotan was completed by the team behind the Volkswagen Phaeton, incorporating design elements from Volkswagen's top luxury sedan, the Phaeton. Comprehensive features of the 2018 Magotan: The 2018 Magotan is equipped with a 12.3-inch FPK digital LCD instrument panel, an 8-inch MIB High navigation and multimedia system, a TPMS digital tire pressure monitoring system, a HUD head-up display system, a smart three-zone automatic climate control system, a DLA dynamic light assist system, and an MKB multi-collision prevention system.
To be honest, after driving the Magotan for several years, this car gives me the feeling of a solid German vehicle—what we commonly call the Passat in some markets. It and the Passat are like sibling models, both being the pillars of Volkswagen's B-segment sedans, targeting business use while also catering to families. The materials and craftsmanship are indeed meticulous. My 380TSI model, with a high-power 2.0T engine paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, delivers quick acceleration in the city and rock-solid stability on the highway, making you feel utterly secure. The cabin is spacious, with enough rear legroom to cross your legs comfortably, and the trunk opening is large enough to fit two suitcases with ease. Driver-assistance features like ACC and lane-keeping assist make long drives much more comfortable, though the infotainment system can be a bit temperamental—you just get used to it.
