Volkswagen Magotan. 2017 to date (prod. n/a). 4-door saloon. F/F, 1395, 1798, 1984 cm³ petrol, 13 kWh–1395 cm³ electric–petrol hybrid (I4 DOHC). FAW’s stretched, premium version of Volkswagen Passat (B8) for the Chinese market, with an extra 80 mm in the wheelbase. Mid-term refresh in December 2019, making Magotan look more upmarket, keeping it a firm favourite of Chinese buyers prepared to pay a bit more for “Germanness”, even if some rivals beat the Magotan on certain measures. Level 2 autonomous driving, Android-based voice interaction and navigation planning software, online radio and remote locking among the high-tech features. Large 9·2-inch centre screen with gesture control. LED intelligent lighting outside; interior lighting adjustable. Air purification also standard, a must for Chinese cities.
