Which Magotan model has a V6 engine?
4 Answers
12 and 13 models have V6 engines. Here is some related information about Magotan: 1. Magotan engine configuration: This car uses a 3.0-liter V6 naturally aspirated engine with a maximum power of 250 horsepower and a peak torque of 310 Nm. This engine is equipped with direct injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. 2. Magotan introduction: Magotan is a mid-size car under Volkswagen, belonging to the B-segment. The car has a length, width, and height of 4866mm, 1832mm, and 1464mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2812mm. It is equipped with a 1.8TSI engine, paired with a 6-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission.
Volkswagen did install VR6 engines in the Magotan before. I remember the imported B6 version from over a decade ago had a 3.2L VR6 model, and later the domestically produced B7 also came with a 3.0L VR6. Back then, this car was quite powerful, with 250 horsepower making it exceptionally smooth to drive. However, the current new Magotan models on the market have all switched to 2.0T engines. If you're looking for a V6, you'll have to scour the used car market for older models. Last time I accompanied a friend car shopping, he almost got tricked into buying a car with a rolled-back odometer. It's best to bring along a knowledgeable mechanic when buying an older car. That said, Volkswagen has mostly transitioned to turbo engines now. If you want a new V6 sedan, you'd have to look at higher-end lines like the Audi A6.
In all my years running the repair shop, I've only come across two VR6-powered Magotans, both pre-2015 B7 versions. Although called VR6, this engine's structure resembles a narrow-angle V6 more, making it particularly space-efficient in transverse platforms. Two years ago, I worked on one for a customer and found oil leaks from the valve cover to be a common issue. Nowadays, new cars no longer come with this configuration, as the manufacturer has switched entirely to the EA888 engine. If you're specifically looking for a six-cylinder, I'd recommend considering a used CC 3.6 or stretching your budget for an Audi. That said, the current Magotan 380TSI high-power version is quite a blast to drive.
The last time the Magotan came with a six-cylinder engine dates back to the B7 generation. The top-spec 3.0FSI model back then used a VR6 layout, delivering a maximum power of 184 kW, paired with a 6-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. The engine bay was packed to the brim, making it a nightmare for mechanics due to its compact layout. Nowadays, all display cars at 4S shops come with four-cylinder engines, and even test drive vehicles with V6 engines are hard to find. If you're considering a purchase, you'll have to look for older models manufactured between 2011 and 2016, which are extremely scarce in the market. In reality, the current 2.0T high-power version accelerates faster and is significantly more fuel-efficient.
