What kind of car is the Volkswagen Magotan?
2 Answers
The Volkswagen Magotan is the Passat model, featuring a 4-door, 5-seat sedan body structure. Taking the 2020 Magotan as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4865mm, width 1832mm, height 1471mm, with a wheelbase of 2871mm, a fuel tank capacity of 66 liters, and a trunk capacity of 533 liters. The 2020 Magotan is equipped with a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. It is powered by a 1.4L inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 150PS, a maximum power of 110kW, and a maximum torque of 250Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I've been driving the Magotan for three years, and it's actually quite common in the domestic market. It's a version customized by Volkswagen Germany for the Chinese market, equivalent to the sibling of the overseas Passat. I particularly like its solid German chassis tuning, which feels very stable at high speeds. The current model for sale is based on the B8 platform, with a wheelbase extended by 80mm compared to the European version, offering ample rear legroom. There are three tail badges—280, 330, and 380—corresponding to different power outputs of the EA888 engine, paired with a wet dual-clutch transmission. The interior features a full LCD instrument panel and touch-sensitive air conditioning controls, though the piano black finish tends to show fingerprints easily. It's great for both family use and business reception, though the tire noise is a bit noticeable.
