The new Volkswagen sagitar came out strongly, starting at 180,000, and the configuration was halved. Is it a dark horse or a scrap horse?

Sagitar has always had a high position in the hearts of domestic consumers. The reason is that Sagitar, as an original German car, is independently suspended after being standard in all departments, and its comprehensive level in all aspects is higher than that of its own brothers such as LaVida and Bora. Every sagitar owner has a little pride in his heart. The price configuration of the new sagitar in 2019 is exposed, which makes people have some whispers about this sagitar car!
The price range of the new sagitar is 189,900 yuan-316,900 yuan. Compared with the starting price of the old sagitar of 130,000 yuan, the price of the new sagitar is believed to discourage many people. After all, most people who buy this car are ordinary people, and it is not easy for anyone to earn money.
In appearance, the length, width and height of the new sagitar are 4866mm, 1832mm and 1464mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 80mm higher than the old one, which is 2871 mm. There has been a small increase in size. The new sagitar follows the overseas version of the styling style and is younger. On the front face of the car body, the brand-new hexagonal air intake grille is covered with horizontal chrome trim strips, and the light group adopts the popular open-corner design, which is integrated with the air intake grille and is highly recognizable, surrounded by the movement below, and has a strong sense of movement.
But in the three major pieces, Volkswagen sagitar has changed a lot this time! In terms of power, Volkswagen sagitar is still equipped with an EA211 engine with a displacement of 1.4T, which can output 110kW(150PS) and 250 N m. Golf in Europe is no longer equipped with a 1.4T EA211 engine, but a 1.5T engine code-named EA211 evo. Although the data is almost the same as 1.4T, it is equipped with a series of new technologies, such as variable cross-section turbine, electronically controlled cooling system and APS plasma cylinder wall coating. The effect is that the torque output is earlier and wider, the turbine hysteresis phenomenon at low speed during traffic jam is well alleviated, and the fuel consumption is also reduced by 10%. These upgrades have just solved the public’s long-standing criticism in China. But unfortunately, sagitar is still equipped with the old EA211 this time, and it has not changed.
The shift texture of Volkswagen’s previous 7-speed dry dual-clutch gearbox is quite good, but its reliability is very worrying. I thought that this time Volkswagen could upgrade the standard and reach the 8AT gearbox. After all, Volkswagen even comes standard with the 8AT gearbox in the United States. This is the only A-class car of 8AT in the world except Fox 8AT. Xiaobian doesn’t mean to envy the old America. As far as things are concerned, the double standards of the public are really obvious! Ironically, the Audi Q5, the only Volkswagen car with 8AT in China, is about to stop production. Last year, America fined the public more than 14 billion yuan, and the public gave them 8AT. Last year, China consumers took half of the sales of Volkswagen Group, and Volkswagen removed 8AT.
The good news is that Sagitar has finally changed into the MQB platform, reaching the same level as New Bora, New LaVida, Ming Rui and Ling Du. The new sagitar is a torsion beam carried abroad, but at present it is suspended independently in China. I believe sagitar will keep up with the rhythm of independent suspension, which can’t be said if it is omitted. At worst, get a semi-independent suspension
Generally speaking, the quality of Volkswagen sagitar is ok. Although it is inevitable that there are some minor injuries and ailments, it does not affect the position of Volkswagen in the minds of consumers, and it can easily enter the top ten sales of A-class cars. The new car with the tail label of 330TSI has undoubtedly strengthened consumers’ confidence in order to meet the national six emission standards.
If the Volkswagen listed next year is a sauce purple, will you consider it? If there is anything inappropriate, please forgive me. You or your friends have a sagitar, please leave a message below to discuss.
