A+-class cars, which are based on A-class but not B-class, are the mainstream choice range that most Chinese consumers cannot avoid. When it comes to who is the representative of A+ class, the FAW-Volkswagen Sagitar must be the familiar one.
Since entering the Chinese market in 2006, the Sagitar has created and continues to lead the A+ class segment. Its configuration, space and sports adjustment surpass the same level, becoming a "driver's car" among Chinese consumers, and has gained good reputation and sales.
This year FAW-Volkswagen launched the new Sagitar, the benchmark for A+ class new living space. There are 9 models with three power configurations, including 200TSI, 280TSI and 380STI, priced from 127,900 to 172,900 yuan. The new car has once again raised the benchmark in the A+ class market in terms of styling, intelligent experience, quality, and safety.
So, what are the advantages of the new Sagitar? The editor will take you to take a look.
"The Vast Star" brings super good looks
I believe that most people will be impressed by the temperament of this new car when they first see the actual FAW-Volkswagen Sagitar. Compared with competing products of the same level, the styling design of the new Sagitar adopts the "vast interstellar" design concept, integrating a sense of sportiness and luxury. As an A+ class sedan, this style is eye-catching.
The front face design adopts a new star grille, paired with distinctive IQ.Light matrix LED headlights and front grille exterior ambient lights, highlighting its elegant temperament; in addition, the combination of the hexagonal line of the front hood and the grille facade highlights the powerful sporty feel. The body of the new Sagitar adopts a star track style that surrounds the waistline, outlining a stretched and slender body profile, giving it a sense of transcendence and luxury. The star trail geometric design on the rear part of the car is highly recognizable, and combined with the body, star blade wheels and other design elements, it creates a fashionable and sporty style that is suitable for young users.
The length, width and height of the new Sagitar are: 4791/1801/1465mm, and the wheelbase is 2731mm. Compared with the old model, the body length of the new car has been lengthened, reaching the first-class level in its class, and further optimizing the rear space of the new car.
Intelligent technology empowers the intelligent driving experience to be upgraded
Not only is the exterior design stunning, the interior and configuration of the new Sagitar have also been upgraded.
Volkswagen's latest semi-suspended interior highlights the driver-centered wraparound cockpit design, which instantly makes drivers and passengers feel the full atmosphere of a sports performance car. Inside the car, you can see large areas of soft material coverage everywhere, and the overall quality is on par with B-class cars .
The upgrade of the configuration part makes the high-end quality feel more intense. The new Sagitar uses a Mirco-fiber ultra-fiber leather multi-function steering wheel and is equipped with a newly upgraded 12-inch large screen. It has real-time online navigation functions and also supports the interconnection of mobile phones and large screens through CarPlay, Carlife, etc.
The newly upgraded IQ. smart car connection system is also more powerful in terms of response speed and interactive experience. For entertainment music, air conditioning adjustment and other actions, just give voice commands, and the IQ. Voice Wizard can complete the operation of the respective functions. If you don’t want to use voice commands, you can also operate the large screen through touch or air gestures.
In addition, the IQ. intelligent car connection system allows the new Sagitar to have better intelligent driving and safety protection. The new Sagitar upgrade is equipped with the new IQ.Drive smart driving butler.
IQ.Drive intelligent driving butler functions include: Travel Assist full-speed driving assistance system, ACC 3.0 advanced adaptive cruise system (with follow-stop function), Front Assist pre-collision safety system, Side Assist lane change assistance system and other configurations, which can realize L2 intelligent driving assistance capabilities. This makes the new Sagitar not only have perfect active safety protection performance, but also effectively reduce users' fatigue during long-distance driving, thereby making driving safer.
China uses a new 1.5T engine for the first time, with strong power and lower fuel consumption.
The new Sagitar is equipped with 1.2T, 1.4T and 1.5T engines. Among them, the EA211 1.5TSI Evo2 engine is the first power used by Volkswagen in China, and it is superior to all competing products in terms of performance.
The brand new EA211 1.5T Evo2 engine uses the Miller cycle, equipped with VTG variable geometry section turbine, 350Bar direct injection system, APS cylinder wall coating, 12.5:1 high compression ratio and ACT cylinder closing and many other technologies. The maximum power reaches 118kW, maximum torque 250 N·m, and the transmission is equipped with a 7-speed dry dual clutch. Compared with the previous Volkswagen 1.4T engine, it has achieved a 10%-15% reduction in fuel consumption. With the support of
advanced technology, the new Sagitar has faster power response and stronger performance, as well as lower fuel consumption.
Summary:
The new Sagitar has achieved comprehensive upgrades in terms of appearance, power, technology, space and quality. At the same time, the three powertrains and nine models also bring consumers more diversified choices. I believe that what consumers value most is this new 1.5T turbocharged engine. It not only has stronger power, but also has good fuel consumption. As the benchmark for A+ class cars, the new Sagitar is worth recommending.
