Why is the Magotan 380 rarely purchased?
2 Answers
380 version is rarely bought because it is too expensive. Here are some explanations about the 380 version: 1. Introduction: The new Magotan still adopts Volkswagen's latest family-style design, and sales have proven that the current model very much meets the aesthetic requirements of its target audience, so there are not many changes in the exterior design. The body dimensions are 4866/1832/1464mm in length, width, and height, with a wheelbase of 2871mm. 2. Powertrain: The official 0-100km/h acceleration times for the Magotan 280, 330, and 380 are 9.1 seconds, 8.1 seconds, and 7.2 seconds respectively. The 7.2-second acceleration of the 380 model is considered upper-middle level for a mid-size sedan, and even the 2.0L Teana cannot easily outpace the Magotan 380.
I remember when I was looking at cars at the 4S store last time, the salesperson also mentioned that not many people buy the Magotan 380, mainly due to price issues. It's tens of thousands more expensive than the 330, but for average families, the extra horsepower is unnecessary for city driving, consumes more fuel, and increases maintenance pressure—like higher insurance and service costs, plus parts are harder to find for repairs. We regular office workers prioritize affordability; the 330's power is more than enough for daily driving and performs well on highways. The money saved can be used to upgrade seats or navigation, which is much more practical. With fuel prices so high now, everyone is more budget-conscious, so it's no surprise the 380 model sells less.
