Magotan distanced itself from the Passat in design, but the engines remained the same
The FAW Volkswagen joint venture presented its latest product at the Beijing Auto Show — Volkswagen Magotan sedan, built on the Passat B9 platform. In essence, this is the Passat B9, only with a unique design and interior.
The car is really big: dimensions are 4990 x 1854 x 1487 mm, wheelbase — 2871 mm. Wheels — 19-inch, «shod» in Goodyear Eagle F1 tires size 245/40.
According to modern fashion, the car received two luminous crossbars — in the front and in the back. The front glows white and visually connects the headlights, and the rear glows red and connects the lights. A similar solution is implemented in the electric Volkswagen line ID.

The European Passat does not have three screens on the front panel, and the Magotan — There is. The diagonal of the digital instrument panel display is 12.25 inches, the media system screen — 15 inches, and in front of the front passenger there is an 11.6-inch display. The fourth screen — projection. The media system is built on SoC Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 and supports CarPlay and CarLife interfaces. Of course, there is wireless charging. And the transmission mode switch is located on the steering column lever. There are a number of driver assistance systems and it relies on DJI optical sensors.
Design — new and fresh, but the engines are old. The Magotan base has a 1.5-liter engine with 160 hp, in the top version — 2.0-liter EA888-DTJ with 220 hp. Both are combined with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.
