on september 10, the new passat pro was officially launched. so far, the two flagship products of volkswagen south and north have completed the major upgrade from b8 to b9.

after seeing these two cars, many friends don’t know how to start and which one will be more suitable for them.

today we will compare these two cars and see which one is more worth buying.

let’s start with the appearance. both the new passat and magotan have made attempts to become younger on the b9.

while adding a youthful and dynamic feel, the magotan still retains more of its original business and grand undertones, covering a wider range of people. in simple terms, it appeals to people of all ages.

the changes in passat are bolder and more radical, and the overall style is more like the electric style of new forces.

we can see from the official language of the launch conference that passat's target audience has also shifted from the original mature business group to the younger group, which is a downward trend towards younger customers.

in terms of price and internal configuration, the two cars focus on different aspects.

the new passat pro and magotan both offer three configurations, corresponding to 189,900-223,900 yuan and 169,900-236,900 yuan respectively, forming different positioning ranges for the two products.

let’s start with the entry-level models of the two cars. the passat pro is called the 380tsi dragon glory edition, and the magotan is called the 300tsi premium edition. the prices of the two cars are 189,900 yuan and 169,900 yuan respectively.

it is not difficult to see from the names that they use different powertrains.

the passat series offers a 2.0t high-power engine, while the entry-level magotan model continues to offer a high-power 1.5t engine version. lowering the entry threshold by 20,000 yuan can also provide users with better fuel economy while ensuring sufficient power, and the maintenance cost of daily use will also be lower.

the top-end models of both cars also have different focuses.

the price of passat pro 380tsi longzun edition is 223,900 yuan, while the price of magotan 380tsi zhizun edition is 236,900 yuan. what can the difference of 16,000 yuan bring you?

in terms of configuration, the new magotan has additional features such as rear collision warning, four-door keyless entry, and pedestrian protection compared to the passat pro.

not only that, in terms of details, the new magotan also has a lot more practical but "inconspicuous" details than the passat pro.

for example, in terms of materials, the door trim of magotan is made of injection molding plus laser light transmission technology, while that of passat is made of thermoforming technology; in addition, the rear armrest of magotan also uses piano lacquer material instead of the plastic material of passat. upon closer inspection, magotan is indeed much more refined.

as for the big sofa that everyone is talking about, the seats of magotan are more refined, using diamond quilting technology; while passat only has ordinary stripes. when it comes to creating a sense of luxury, it is obvious that magotan is better at it.

among a series of differences, what impressed me most about the magotan was actually the most inconspicuous detail, the flocking on the trunk.

for people like me who have a lot of stuff, if there is no flocking, when driving on bad roads, the things in the trunk come into contact with the car body, which is like a "symphony" and greatly affects my mood.

it is particularly worth mentioning that there are certain differences in after-sales service between the two cars.

saic volkswagen's passat pro provides a lifetime powertrain warranty service, but this is more like a "gimmick". volkswagen's powertrain has always had a good reputation for stability, and there will be basically no problems in six to eight years; and in order to enjoy the lifetime warranty, there are many preconditions such as requiring the first owner, full 4s shop maintenance, non-wearing parts, etc., which are optional.

faw-volkswagen's magotan provides a "double insurance" package service. within 36 months after the purchase of the new car, the owner can enjoy a six-year warranty service with no mileage limit, as well as six years of basic maintenance with no frequency limit. obviously, the after-sales service provided by magotan is more impressive.

in general, the new magotan has certain advantages over the passat pro in terms of the price of entry-level models, the sophistication of internal details and after-sales service, while the appearance of the passat and the power configuration of the entry-level model 380tsi may be more attractive to young consumers.
