The appearance and configuration have been improved. Take a real photo of the new FAW-Volkswagen Magotan in the store.

I believe everyone is familiar with the FAW-Volkswagen Magotan. Since its entry into the country, it has had a large rear space comparable to that of a C-class car, a stable and majestic exterior design, and the influence of the Volkswagen brand in the hearts of Chinese people. In the past few years, Magotan has always been the number one mid-size car in China. However, things are changing. Judging from the sales data released by the Passenger Car Association not long ago, Magotan's annual sales in 2019 were only 173,805 units, a full 23.9% reduction compared to last year's 228,441 units. The annual sales ranking also fell to After Accord and Camry.

FAW-Volkswagen was naturally unwilling to achieve such results, so on the 18th of last month, FAW-Volkswagen launched the new Magotan, with an official price range of 186,900-309,900 yuan. So what changes will there be in the new Magotan? Can the current situation be changed? Let’s find out through this actual visit to the store.

Brother Mao believes that the main reason for the decline in sales of the old Magotan is that its appearance is too mediocre. Nowadays, those born in the 1990s and even the 1995s have become the main car buyers, and mediocre exterior designs naturally cannot attract them. Models such as the Passat, Accord, and Camry, which have already taken a younger approach, have tasted the sweetness and achieved good sales.

It can be seen from real shots that the new Magotan has indeed put great effort into its appearance and configuration. Compared with the old model, its appearance is younger and more refined, making it easier to attract young consumers. The configuration has also been further decentralized. Configurations that were previously only available in top-end models are now equipped in mid- to low-end models, and the product strength has been further improved. If certain discounts are added, the new Magotan is expected to change the current situation.

Which model of the new Magotan is the most suitable to buy? Mao Ge mainly recommends the 2.0T (330TSI) luxury model, which is very suitable in terms of power, configuration and price, and has the highest cost performance. As for the 1.4T model, although the static performance is not bad, the dry dual-clutch transmission cannot be complimented. Therefore, if you are considering buying a new Magotan, the 2.0T (330TSI) luxury model is most suitable.
