Magotan B8 is the eighth-generation model of the Volkswagen Magotan, also known as the all-new Magotan. It was launched in 2016 and continues to be available up to the present. The Magotan is a mid-size car produced by FAW-Volkswagen. The Magotan B8 is based on the appearance of the overseas version of the Passat, incorporating the most popular design elements of the time. Its overall styling is more refined and mature, while also showcasing a certain sporty character. Here are the detailed specifications of the Magotan B8: 1. Exterior: In terms of appearance, this car adopts the brand's family design language. The front grille features a completely new design, with a blackened grille decorated with horizontal chrome strips. Compared to the previous generation, the all-new model has a more sophisticated exterior. 2. Dimensions: In terms of body dimensions, the car measures 4865*1832*1471mm in length, width, and height, with a wheelbase of 2871mm. The space inside the car is excellent, especially the legroom in the rear seats. 3. Powertrain: In terms of power, the car is still equipped with a 1.4T and 2.0T high/low-power turbocharged engine, which meets the China VI emission standards. The engine is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
As a car enthusiast, I understand that the Magotan B8 is the eighth-generation model launched by Volkswagen in 2016, representing a major technological upgrade at the time. I remember that when the new car was launched, it attracted a lot of attention because it was the first to adopt Volkswagen's MQB platform, offering stronger power performance, as well as a full LCD instrument panel and advanced driving assistance systems. Around 2020, it underwent a mid-cycle facelift, adding new designs and smart features. In China, FAW-Volkswagen began producing and selling it in the second half of 2016, so common model years are from 2016 to the early 2020s. If you look at the used car market, the B8 generation is quite popular due to its good reliability and lower maintenance costs. In summary, the starting year is definitely 2016, and it is an important milestone in the Volkswagen Magotan series.
