Volkswagen Magotan
The new Volkswagen Magotan will debut on the Beijing Auto Show next month and launch on the
Chinese car market in July. The Magotan is a China-only sedan based on the
Volkswagen Passat B8.
The new Magotan will be powered by the ‘EA888’ family of four-cylinder
engines, including a 1.8 TSI and a 2.0 TSI.
The Volkswagen Passat B6/7 is made in
China too, by the Shanghai-Volkswagen joint venture, which will also make the
Passat B8. The cars are differ only in details, they are priced the same and
powered by the same engines, and thus competing directly with each other on the
market.
