In the current automobile market, Volkswagen can find brand joint ventures. It has two brands, such as SAIC Volkswagen, FAW Volkswagen, Guangqi Honda, Dongfeng Honda, etc. In fact, in this situation, it is a foreign automobile brand. China cooperates with two different state-owned automobile companies, so there will be different names, but these joint venture cars are based on the three major items, so they are all based on foreign auto companies. From the perspective of the joint venture B-class cars, Volkswagen Passat and Volkswagen Magotan were once very popular. Even if they were hit by the China Insurance Research Institute, their sales are still not bad. Then some people are asking, what are the Volkswagen Passat and Volkswagen Magotan? different?

Passat is a B-class sedan owned by SAIC Volkswagen, and Magotan is a B-class sedan owned by FAW Volkswagen. They are all Volkswagen brand models, but only on joint ventures. They are not the same company. From the perspective of engine, gearbox and chassis, Volkswagen Passat and Magotan are no different. The power is both equipped with 1.4T and 2.0T turbocharged engines, the transmission is a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox, and the chassis is equipped with four-wheel independent suspension. If you consider these two cars from the three major items, you cannot consider them because they are the same.

Volkswagen also has a Passat model in Germany, but it is introduced in China, and its name is not Passat, but Magotan, which is FAW-Volkswagen Magotan, and SAIC-Volkswagen Passat is more suitable The American version of Passat. The difference between them is that FAW-Volkswagen Magotan is more pedigree, because in terms of exterior size, it caters to the German Passat, while SAIC-Volkswagen Passat is based on the American version of Passat, and then made some changes to cater to domestic production. , So the overall size is slightly longer, so on the A-pillar, it is also worse than FAW-Volkswagen Magotan, resulting in a lot of decline in sales of the Volkswagen brand now.

Volkswagen Passat and Volkswagen Magotan have many similarities and few differences. First of all, the joint ventures are different. One is made by SAIC Motor Group and Volkswagen, and the other is FAW Automobile Group. Made by Volkswagen, Passat is superior to Magotan in terms of size, but the overall advantage is not big, and in terms of safety performance, Magotan is still higher than Passat, so if you choose between these two cars, then I recommend Volkswagen Magotan. some.
