The Magotan is a New Car and Volkswagen's "pillar of strength" in the mid-size sedan segment. It measures 4866 mm in length and has a wheelbase of 2871 mm. Featuring a classic three-box design, the front fascia boasts a horizontal chrome strip that seamlessly integrates with the LED headlights. A straight waistline extends to the taillights, resulting in a drag coefficient of only 0.27. The rear features a small ducktail spoiler and the MAGOTAN badge, giving it a "mini Phideon" look from a distance.
The interior features a dark gray/black/beige two-tone design, a 9.2-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a 10.3-inch full LCD instrument cluster, and a three-spoke steering wheel with touch controls. The seats are perforated leather, with 12-way power adjustment for the front seats and adjustable rear backrests. Despite the high floor, legroom is more generous than that of the commercial vehicle, the Touran L, allowing passengers to stretch their legs comfortably for business trips and family outings.
Choose between a 1.4T or 2.0T engine; the 2.0T low-power version delivers 137 kW, paired with a seven-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, achieving a combined fuel consumption of 6.7 L/100 km. At 120 km/h on the highway, the engine speed is only 1500 rpm, saving nearly 1 liter more fuel than a Used Car like the older Passat. The chassis features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link rear suspension, offering a comfortable yet resilient ride, and providing better stability in corners than comparable Japanese cars.
The trunk offers 533 L of space, with a 2.0 m depth after folding down the rear seats in a 4/6 split, easily accommodating strollers and fishing rods. Rear independent air conditioning and dual Type-C ports ensure comfortable long journeys. Compared to the charging wait times of new energy vehicles, a full tank of gas in the Magotan allows you to start your journey in just 3 minutes. Compared to Used Cars, it offers a fully digital instrument cluster and connected car features, and you can enjoy the low odor of a new car.
