The reason why the Sagitar sells less than the Lavida is that the Lavida has a lower market price and a more popular design. Accurate market positioning of the Lavida: The main reason why the Sagitar sells less than the Lavida is the Lavida's lower market pricing. The Lavida is positioned as an A-segment car, while the Sagitar is positioned as an A+-segment car. These two models are not on the same starting line. In theory, the FAW-Volkswagen Bora should compete with the Lavida. Although the Sagitar has more comprehensive configurations than the Lavida, consumers who are not car-savvy find the one or two ten thousand yuan price difference very attractive, and there's nothing that can be done about it. The Lavida's design is widely recognized: Among Lavida owners around me, the age range is very broad. Both young people and middle-aged individuals can accept the Lavida's exterior design. For the general consumer, the first car doesn’t need to be overly flashy. As long as the price is right, the exterior is decent, it has all the necessary functions, it doesn’t look embarrassing to drive, and the space is sufficient, it’s good enough.

I've studied these two models thoroughly. The main reason Sagitar can't outsell Lavida lies in their positioning. Sagitar was originally positioned as a premium compact car, priced 20,000-30,000 yuan higher than Lavida, yet without offering any particularly impressive additional features. Chinese family buyers place great emphasis on value for money, and Lavida hits the sweet spot right at the 100,000 yuan price point, with even more optimized interior space. The Lavida's rear seats offer ample legroom to comfortably cross your legs, and the trunk can fit two large suitcases with room to spare. These practical benefits prove more appealing than so-called German heritage. Add to that Volkswagen's aggressive promotional campaigns for Lavida, with dealership sales staff actively pushing it, leaving Sagitar gathering dust in the corner of showrooms. Over time, Lavida's reputation has snowballed, cementing its status as the ultimate grocery-getter.

As a seasoned driver, I believe the Lavida wins by precisely understanding consumer psychology. The Sagitar may have stronger power and a more stable chassis, but how often do average drivers care about that? The Lavida invests its budget in visible features: soft-touch dashboard, rear AC vents, and leather seats – you immediately feel it's worth the price. Crucially, Lavida maintenance is cheap, with aftermarket parts available everywhere – a minor scratch touch-up costs just 200 yuan. In contrast, replacing a Sagitar's bumper can run into four figures. Chinese car owners fear expensive ownership costs most, and the Lavida hits this vulnerability perfectly, positioning itself as the most worry-free family car. The Sagitar suffers from awkward positioning – not premium enough to compete upmarket, yet too expensive to appeal to budget buyers. Young drivers find it outdated, while middle-aged buyers consider it overpriced, leaving it struggling to please either demographic.

What causes steering wheel malfunction in Audi after wading through water?

Audi steering wheel malfunction after wading through water can be attributed to the following reasons: Generator failure: Water ingress into the generator can lead to steering wheel malfunction, causing loosening of the power steering system connections and resulting in partial leakage of steering fluid. Power steering pump failure: Damage to the power steering pump due to water ingress can also cause steering wheel malfunction. The presence of air in the steering system leads to abnormal steering. Another possibility is the slipping of the hydraulic power steering pump's drive belt when it comes into contact with water. Steering gear piston cylinder damage: Mechanical damage to the steering gear piston cylinder from water ingress reduces the sealing performance of the oil seal and damages the control valve. Foreign objects in the steering hydraulic pipeline can cause the steering pump's flow control valve to stick.
