Which Volkswagen model is the Sagitar?
2 Answers
Sagitar is the Volkswagen Sagitar (Sagitar is the Chinese name for the Jetta in some markets). Taking the 2021 Sagitar as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4753mm, width 1800mm, height 1462mm, wheelbase 2731mm, fuel tank capacity 50 liters, trunk capacity 553 liters, and curb weight 1355kg. The 2021 Sagitar is equipped with a 1.2T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 85kW and a maximum torque of 175Nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. It features a front McPherson independent suspension and a rear multi-link independent suspension.
When I first bought a car, I was also curious about what Sagitar actually was in Volkswagen's lineup. Simply put, it's Volkswagen's Sagitar sedan, classified as an A+ compact family car. This model is called Jetta overseas and was renamed Sagitar when introduced to China. I've driven a friend's older version—it has a long wheelbase, allowing passengers to stretch their legs in the back, and the steering is precise, going exactly where you point it. The newer version switched to the MQB platform, making the chassis more solid, so it handles speed bumps with just two quick thumps. The 1.4T engine, though only 150 horsepower, has sufficient low-end torque, making city overtaking effortless. The trunk can fit a stroller plus two suitcases, making weekend outings with kids hassle-free. Compared to its peers, it has rear air vents that the Corolla lacks, and while it’s less aggressive than the Civic, it feels more stable. If you have a budget of around 150,000 RMB and want a reliable daily driver, this is definitely worth considering.
