On June 28, the mid-term facelift of the FAW-Volkswagen Sagitar was finally launched. The new model has a total of 7 configurations, with three power specifications of 1.2T/1.4T/1.5T available, with a guide price of 127,900-172,900. The new car has improvements in appearance, interior, and configuration, and it is also the first domestic model equipped with a 1.5T evo engine.
In terms of appearance, the center grille of the new car adopts a new design, and the overall visual effect is flatter. At the same time, the decorative strips inside the grille merge with the outline of the headlights, stretching the visual width of the entire front face. The lower surround also adopts a new style and adds LED fog lights.
The side of the body is basically the same as that of the old model. The double waistline creates a tough body posture, which is still the familiar German style. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new car are 4753/18700/1462mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2731mm.
At the rear, the new car still uses Volkswagen’s classic “eagle beak” taillights, but the internal light strips have been optimized, and the “X”-shaped design looks younger. The lower enclosure is decorated with a single-exhaust exhaust on both sides, and is run through by a chrome trim strip, which improves the sense of refinement.
Compared with the optimization of the appearance, the interior changes of the new Sagitar are more thorough. It is equipped with a larger 10.25-inch full LCD instrument, a 12-inch floating central control screen and through-type air-conditioning outlets. Although compared with the independent The brand's interiors are less luxurious, but they are still improved compared to the old Sagitar, and the interior workmanship is fine, all panels fit together tightly, and the texture is still good. The functions of the
central control screen have also been increased compared to the previous model. It has added functions such as driving recorder , electronic mall, smart home and other functions. Compared with the old model, the expandability has been improved, but the essence is still not very different. What is worthy of praise is that Carplay is still retained, giving users one more choice.
In terms of power, in addition to the cliche 1.2T and 1.4T models, the new car is finally equipped with a 1.5Tevo engine. However, what makes keyboard fans confused is that this engine is only equipped with the top model 2023 300TSI DSG Excellence Edition. Obviously FAW-Volkswagen has no intention of letting the 1.5T take off, and wants to squeeze out the remaining value of the 1.4T. In fact, the performance improvement of the new 1.5T engine is not obvious. The biggest advantage is that the fuel consumption has been reduced to a certain extent. Compared with the engines of its own brands, it still has a big advantage.
