On June 28, FAW-Volkswagen chose to launch two popular compact family sedans together.
As a star product of FAW-Volkswagen and even the entire compact car market, FAW-Volkswagen's new Sagitar (hereinafter referred to as Sagitar) has launched a total of 7 configurations, with a price range of 127,900-172,900 yuan. For a national-level family sedan, the new Sagitar has been improved in multiple dimensions and provides consumers with ample choices.
After the upgrade, it is still the benchmark
Regarding the success of Sagitar, many people believe that it has successfully opened up the A+ class car market segment. What is the most important thing about this market? Space is naturally the first element. As a model between A-class cars and B-class cars, space has always been a major advantage of the Sagitar. After the upgrade, the Sagitar still maintains this advantage.
Compared with the old Sagitar, the length, width and height of the newly upgraded Sagitar are 4791*1801*1465mm, and the wheelbase has reached 2731mm. Compared with the old model, the body size has been comprehensively improved. This also makes the Sagitar have a more obvious advantage in space compared with the same level of Civic and Asia Lion.
In addition, the appearance of the new Sagitar has also been adjusted. The design of the Sagitar this time uses the concept of "vast interstellar". The IQ.Light matrix on the front of the body is integrated with the front grille to convey a more sci-fi style, and the Sagitar's previous smooth body lines are still retained, making itself The sense of trend is always online. It can be clearly seen that the Sagitar has carried out some flattening in the design of this generation of models, making the entire style look more fashionable; in addition, the new Sagitar will also provide 5 body colors to choose from (Flash Silver, Polar White, Baikal Blue, Manganese Stone Black, Seashell Gold) to meet the aesthetic needs of different car owners.
The changes in the interior are also obvious. The semi-suspended screen design makes people forget about Volkswagen's shortcomings in screens. Even in the 12-inch central control screen, the new Sagitar also uses the CNS 3.0 third-generation infotainment system, which also supports gesture control without the need for Direct touch screen allows Sagitar owners to feel the changes in the technological atmosphere. In terms of
intelligence, Sagitar has also achieved the configuration of benchmark products. ACC 3.0 advanced adaptive cruise system, Lane Assist lane keeping system, lane change assist SWA function, Front Assist and collision safety system and other functions allow the Sagitar to achieve L2 level driving assistance. Configurations such as tire pressure monitoring TPMS , trunk induction opening (Easy Open), Micro-fiber multi-function steering wheel, mobile phone wireless charging, advanced rear view image RVC Compact and other configurations further enhance the richness of the new Sagitar's configuration.
Although the new Sagitar has been improved in many aspects, the biggest change is in power.
In terms of power, the new Sagitar retains the EA211 1.2T and 1.4T engines on the old model, and the book parameters have not been adjusted. The newly added E211 1.5T EVO2 engine adopts variable valve timing and variable cross-section abandoned turbocharged technology. The output power is slightly higher than that of the 1.4T, the torque output platform is wider, and it is more fuel-efficient. Except for the entry-level model, which is equipped with a manual transmission, the transmission structure of the other models uses a 7-speed dry dual-clutch gearbox. With the comprehensively improved product strength of
and the configuration of 7 models, what is the wisest choice for the new Sagitar? Let’s analyze it.
seven models, how to choose?
Specifically, among the seven models of the new Sagitar, there are three models with 1.2T power, three models with 1.4T power, and one 1.5T model. Among them, the lowest configuration of the 1.2T model is manual transmission.
personally believes that the 200TSI manual flyover version (1.2T entry version), as the entry-level model of the entire series, is meant to lower the price of the entire series. But the real situation in the market is that consumers who choose this price range prefer automatic transmission models.
As a standard model with automatic transmission, the configuration of the 1.2T Flyover version is already very high, such as the front side airbags, front/rear head airbags, tire pressure alarm, rear parking radar, reversing image, etc. that everyone is concerned about. Basic practical configurations such as high-speed cruise, automatic parking , uphill assist, and an openable panoramic sunroof are all equipped.Therefore, for those with limited budget, choosing the 1.2T flyover version is enough.
The difference between this version and the 200TSI automatic leap version (1.2T mid-range version) mainly lies in the transmission . For an additional RMB 12,000, you can upgrade to the automatic version. Based on the 200TSI automatic leap version (1.2T mid-range configuration),
can be upgraded to the 200TSI automatic transcendence version (1.2T top configuration) for an additional 9,000 yuan. There is not much difference in configuration between the 200TSI automatic transcendence version and the 280TSI automatic transcendence version, which is mainly reflected in the fact that the latter has more options: 18-inch wheels and 10.25-inch full LCD instrument.
200TSI automatic transcendence model upgrades are mainly reflected in comfort configuration, convenience configuration and technology configuration. In terms of appearance, the 16-inch wheels are upgraded to 17-inch, and the vehicle adds chrome-plated trim strips and boneless sensor wipers. In the interior of the car, the addition of 10-color ambient lights and imitation leather seat fabrics will undoubtedly make the atmosphere in the car more comfortable. In addition, the automatic transcendence version also adds comfort and convenience configurations such as keyless entry, one-button start, and dual-zone automatic air conditioning. In terms of assisted driving and intelligence, the automatic transcendence version also introduces ACC adaptive battery life, lane keeping, smart car connection and voice recognition functions, etc.
In terms of price, the 200TSI automatic transcendence version (1.2T top version) is priced at 148,900 yuan. If it is for ordinary household use, this model is definitely enough. If you feel that the power of 1.2T is not enough, you can also upgrade to a 1.4T engine for an additional 10,000 yuan.
Therefore, for the 1.2T version, we recommend the 200TSI automatic transcendence version.
Let’s look at other power displacement models. Since there is only one 1.5T model, we put the 1.4T and 1.5T models together for comparison.
As mentioned above, there is a price difference of 10,000 yuan between the 280TSI Transcendence Edition (1.4T standard configuration) and the 200TSI Automatic Transcendence Edition (1.2T top configuration). Regarding whether consumers prefer low displacement and high configuration or high displacement and low configuration, it is It depends on the consumer's choice. Let’s focus on the two Plus versions.
In terms of price, the 280TSI automatic transcendence version Plus is priced at 160,900 yuan, which is 2,000 yuan more expensive than the 280TSI automatic transcendence version. The configuration part adds appearance atmosphere lights (illuminating car side signs, door handles and rearview mirror welcome lights), panoramic images, mobile phone wireless charging, electric folding rearview mirror (automatic folding with locked car, reversing passenger side exterior Rearview mirror flip-down function) and lane change assist system. Looking at the price alone, these configurations are definitely worth the 2,000 yuan premium.
Therefore, is more recommended than the 280TSI automatic over the Plus version among the 1.4T models.
The other two models, namely the 280TSI Automatic Excellence Plus Edition (1.4T top model) and the 300TSI Automatic Excellence Edition (1.5T model) have the same price. The most obvious difference is naturally in the power.
In terms of configuration, there is not much difference between the two models. The main difference is that the 280TSI Automatic Excellence Edition Plus version provides pearlescent white color matching, and also provides front seat heating/ventilation, all of which need to be optional on the 300TSI Automatic Excellence Edition. In addition to being slightly more powerful than the 280TSI Automatic Excellence Edition Plus, the 300TSI Automatic Excellence Edition also comes with a grille light strip, so if you have high requirements for appearance, you can directly buy the Sagitar's top model. The illuminated grille will illuminate the car at night. The return rate is still very high.
Of these two cars, I personally prefer the 1.5T model. If you have high requirements for configuration and details, you can also choose the 1.4T top-end version.
is written at the end:
In fact, there are no earth-shaking changes in the new launch of FAW-Volkswagen Sagitar.
But it is worth mentioning that almost all its upgraded parts have met the needs of consumers. Whether it is larger space or more segmented power, it gives consumers more room for choice. Perhaps this level of understanding of the market and consumers is an important reason why Sagitar has been able to remain invincible in the A+ market for a long time.
So which model of the new Sagitar do you think is more suitable? Feel free to tell us in the comments.
