Bitauto Original On the eve of this year’s Chengdu Auto Show, the new Passat was launched. As an old Passat owner, I pay special attention to the new Passat. Can it continue its bravery in sweeping the world? With this question in mind, I found two rivals for the new Passat and used two other equally popular models to verify what the new Passat is like.
In terms of vehicle selection, I chose models worth around 200,000 yuan for comparison, namely the new Passat 380TSI luxury version (hereinafter referred to as the new Passat), with the manufacturer’s guide price of 231,900 yuan.
The 2020 Magotan 380TSI luxury model (hereinafter referred to as Magotan) has a manufacturer’s guide price of 249,900 yuan.
As well as the 2021 Teana 2.0T XL Upper AD1 Smart Pilot Edition (hereinafter referred to as Magotan), the manufacturer's guide price is 229,800 yuan.
The new Passat 380TSI luxury version we compared this time adopts a classic front face, and the appearance still maintains the overall grand and dignified aura. The lines run across the entire front face, and the air intake grille extends to both sides and is connected to the headlights, creating a unique "frameless" effect. Many line-like chrome plating decorations are used in the grille to give the front face a richer visual experience. When light beams pass by, it adds a vivid effect.
In addition, the new Passat also has a "starry sky" front face. The appearance is different from other new Passat models. It adopts a "starry sky" front face. , compared with the front face of the luxury version model, the front face of the starry sky version model The face is more youthful, fashionable and sporty, and it is also more in line with the personalization needs of young friends
The front air grille of Magotan is also eye-catching enough in the sun. Under the illumination, Magotan's front face also looks very delicate
Teana's styling is more individual than previous models. The V-motion design language is used from the family's SUVs to sedans, making them all have the same characteristics. Therefore, its shape also makes consumers
In terms of car lights, all three models use automatic headlights with LED light sources. Judging from the configuration list, only the headlights of the new Passat are used. Equipped with rain and fog mode, it is also only the IQ of the new Passat. The Light headlights adopt a matrix layout. It is worth mentioning that the SAIC Volkswagen official name of the IQ.Light headlights equipped on the new Passat is equipped with 11 LED luminous bodies. The headlight brightness is 750lm and the color temperature is 5400k. It's close to sunlight The color temperature and the illumination range are very wide. At the same time, this headlight has an AFS function, which can automatically adjust the direction of the headlight to the direction of the vehicle when the driver turns the steering wheel, without affecting other people. . It is worth mentioning that the through-type light strip on the new Passat is alsoIt is quite recognizable, which is something that the other two models do not have.
On the side of the body, all three models adopt a relatively simple design. In terms of design, the new Passat leads the field in two key data: length and wheelbase. The advantages brought by this are also reflected in the seating space of the second row and the loading capacity of the trunk. At the same time, the new Passat's body proportions also adopt the aesthetic golden ratio, which is also the most outstanding in terms of visual aspects.
At the rear of the car, the new Passat still maintains a generous and robust appearance. Sophisticated design style. The duck tail shape formed by stamping the sheet metal of the tailgate is very dynamic. The popular through-type taillights are also equipped on the new body, making them highly recognizable when lit. The rear of the Magotan looks quite satisfactory, and it has not yet been able to keep up with the new Passat in terms of visuals. The rear of the Teana is the most aggressive of the three models, with sharp edges and corners. Therefore, the majority of car fans have doubts about the appearance of this generation of Teana, forming a sharp contrast with the fans' mixed reviews. It is worth mentioning that the new Passat is equipped with a virtual pedal electric tailgate. In addition to being practical, it also has a strong sense of technology.
The new Passat’s central control layout, color matching and materials In terms of materials, I saw a lot of atmosphere that is usually only found in luxury brand models. The piano paint surface is decorated with a diamond-cut dot matrix, which is more classy and more sophisticated than ordinary glossy black panels. At the same time, ten-color ambient lights also enhance the luxurious feel of the interior.
The Magotan adopts a style that is relatively close to the interior design of the previous generation Passat, and the color scheme is also good. Overall, it is a relatively Attractive car model. At the same time, Magotan aims at Passat as a beacon for every generation update, so the final product can also gain a lot of resonance.
Compared with the drastically changed exterior design, Teana’s interior is the most simple among the three models, with a symmetrical layout and a standing central control LCD screen. , this generation of Teana seems to be becoming more and more mediocre compared to previous generations of Teana.
In terms of instrument panels, both the new Passat and Magotan use full LCD instruments, and the UI style is also All good. Teana is relatively conservative and still uses mechanical instruments. In terms of central control touch screen, all three cars are equipped with it. The touch screen size of the new Passat and Magotan is 9.2 inches, and the touch screen of Teana is 7 inches. In terms of internal integrated functions, the three vehicles are also relatively similar.
It is worth mentioning that the new Passat’s LCD instrument panel can synchronize navigation information with the central control LCD screen, making it easier for the driver to make predictions in advance, and at the same time, it is more accurate. Focus on driving and greatly improve driving safety.
The most commendable thing about the new Passat is its driving assistance configuration that integrates safety technology, ACC full-speed adaptive cruise + Travel Assist Journey intelligent driving assistance system, BSD blind spot monitoring system, Front Assist collision warning system with automatic braking function, Lane Assist lane keeping system, PLA3.0 all-round intelligent parking assistance system, fatigue monitoring, 360 panoramic images and other forward-looking configurations are all available. These equipments on the new Passat are also included in the Magotan, but the gap between Teana and the former two is relatively obvious in this regard.
As for the front seats, all three models are equipped with leather-wrapped seats, and the seat adjustment forms are also similar. But the seats of the new Passat are the most abundantly equipped. In addition to the front-seat heating that all three cars are equipped with, the new Passat also has a seat ventilator and massage function. These functions are quite practical for long-distance driving.
As for the rear seats, all three models also provide leather-wrapped seats, with ample space. Everything is in place. After all, for a model of this level, there are no obvious shortcomings in the rear row. However, the equipment of the new Passat is still surprising. It is also equipped with seat heating function in the rear row, as well as comfortable configurations such as sunshade-wrapped aviation headrests, making long-distance travel more comfortable.
In terms of power, the new Passat and Magotan use the same The engine has a maximum power of 162kW and a peak torque of 350N·m. Teana's maximum power is 179kW and peak torque is 371N·m.
As for the gearbox, the new Passat and Magotan also use the same 7-speed wet dual-clutch ( DCT), this dual-clutch gearbox has been proven for many years and has extremely high transmission efficiency. Teana uses a continuously variable transmission (CVT) that can simulate 10-speed output. In terms of transmission efficiency, CVT and dual-clutch transmission are not the same. In terms of chassis, the new Passat and Magotan use the same front MacPherson and rear multi-link form. The Teana's suspension adopts MacPherson struts at the front and trapezoidal control arm multi-link at the rear.
Editor's comment: The new Passat, which has just been launched, has a refreshing experience in terms of appearance and interior, making it appear more advanced and classy. At the same time, its advantages in driving assistance also give the new Passat an advantage in comparison with the other two models, and it is also more in line with the needs of young people for cars. Therefore, after some comparison, the answer is very clear. The new Passat is better than Magotan and Teana, isn't it?
