The FAW-Volkswagen joint venture in China is lining up the next-generation Magotan for market entry, as reported by Automatic Home. The new model moves the sedan’s overall length up by 34 millimeters, reaching 4900 millimeters, while its wheelbase remains steady at 2871 millimeters. Prospective buyers will notice 19-inch wheels and a tail light design that features a continuous light strip linking the blocks, a modern styling cue that underscores a more premium stance on the road.
Inside, attention shifts to a more digital and immersive cockpit. The cabin now showcases a trio of screens, including a prominent 15-inch main display dedicated to the multimedia system. A projection of the instrument cluster onto the windshield adds a futuristic touch, while the seat padding has been upgraded to deliver greater cushioning and support for longer drives. These interior changes aim to merge comfort with intuitive technology, making daily commutes and longer journeys more enjoyable.
The underpinnings of the new generation Magotan bring a shift in powertrains. The latest model adopts a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine in place of the former 1.4-liter unit, delivering up to 160 horsepower. For customers seeking stronger performance, the range also includes a 2.0 TSI powertrain, tuned to around 220 horsepower. This broad engine lineup reflects a push toward a balance of efficiency and dynamic driving capability, aligning with current market expectations for midsize sedans in China and appealing to North American readers curious about global engine trends.
In related regional context, it is noted that Geely previously supplied a Tiger-inspired E5 crossover for the Chinese market, illustrating the broader scope of vehicle design collaborations within the region. (Source: Automatic Home)
