Volkswagen sagitar: new and old confrontation, 2023 models add 1.5T engine!

As a compact car, Volkswagen Sagitar has been favored by many Chinese people because of its outstanding size. At present, the 2023 model has been on the market for some time and is on sale with its peers. Compared with the old models, Powertrain will provide three options, adding a 1.5T turbocharged engine. The manufacturer’s guide price is between 127,900 and 172,900, and the starting price is cheaper than the 2022 model. The manufacturer’s guide price of the old models is between 133,500 and 165,900. Let’s talk about it with you. What’s the difference between the new and old models?

From the appearance point of view, the new sagitar is more futuristic. The biggest change is the shape of the front grille, which will be consistent with the new Passat in design, with a splendor design and a silver decorative strip in the middle. The headlight group has little change in shape, but it is more powerful in function, adding rain and fog mode and IQ.Light intelligent lighting system.

From the size point of view, the 2023 sagitar has a further size, with the length and width upgraded to 4791×1801×1465 mm, and the wheelbase of the car body remains unchanged at 2731 mm. On the other hand, the size of the 2022 model is 4753×1800×1462 mm. There is no big adjustment on the side lines, and the rearview mirror function will be more intelligent. For example, the blind spot monitoring function will be added. Looking at the bottom, the wheel hub is still 18 inches, and the shape remains unchanged.

At the rear of the car body, there are more adjustments in details, such as the tail wing, and the new model is more three-dimensional. For example, under the surrounding exhaust decoration, the reflector is changed to through treatment, and the face value is more eye-catching.

Entering the car, the new sagitar technology sense has been enhanced, and the central control screen has been upgraded to 12 inches, which looks much bigger than the old one, and supports the car networking function, which is more in line with the needs of the times. The change of full LCD instrument screen will be smaller, the UI will be more traditional, and the dual barrel elements will still be used. The steering wheel has become thicker, the middle family logo has been flattened, and the high-profile models have the steering wheel heating function.

In terms of power, the new sagitar provides a 1.5T turbocharged engine version with a maximum power of 118kW and a maximum torque of 250 N m.. The mid-low model still uses 1.2T turbocharged engine and 1.4T turbocharged engine, which are consistent with the 2022 model in terms of parameters. The maximum power is 85kW and 110kW respectively, and the maximum torque is 175N·m and 250N·m respectively.

In the end, I personally think that buying a car means buying something new instead of buying something old. The upgrade range of the new sagitar is not small, which is more advantageous than the 2022 model. What are your different views and opinions on this? You can leave a message for discussion.
