Replace the new engine and test drive the Volkswagen Magotan 1.8TSI [Figure]
Following the development of the new 1.8 TSI engine by Volkswagen, Taikoo Bida Automobile, the general agent in Taiwan Province, also quickly launched Passat 1.8 TSI equipped with this engine, which is the third model equipped with TSI gasoline engine introduced in Taiwan Province after Golf 1.4 TSI and Eos 2.0 TSI.

The 1.8 TSI engine newly added to the Volkswagen lineup can be said to have three characteristics of "small engine, high horsepower and fuel saving". Although the exhaust vehicle is only 1.8 liters, its power output cannot be underestimated. In addition, under the rising global oil price and the niche of tax classification in Taiwan Province, I believe Passat 1.8 TSI will surely attract more consumers’ attention and make a red disk in the automobile market in Taiwan Province.

Passat 1.8 TSI basically maintains the same appearance and luxurious characteristics as Passat, especially the U-shaped chrome-plated water tank shield with a wide area and the shape of four horizontal grids, which has become one of the most recognizable features. The upper edge is cut with the tear-eyed headlights on the left and right sides to simulate the watery eyes of the inner double eyelids. The lower air dam uses a consistent shape from both sides to the middle, giving Passat a steady face. The waistline on the side of the car is tall, and the chrome trim on the bottom adds a lot of points. A broken line is drawn from the front fender to the rear fender, which balances the appearance of the side, while the four six-spoke double-ribbed rims present a sense of dynamic branding in the texture. Looking at the rear of the car, the change of sheet metal parts replaces broken lines with curved surfaces, which also adds roundness and integration to Passat’s buttocks.

In the interior part, Passat 1.8 TSI is paved with aluminum/wood grain, which presents a unique cockpit texture under the mix of two materials. The front and rear seats are covered by genuine leather/suede (Napa, Alcantara), which not only has first-class visual effect, but also gives drivers and passengers a considerable degree of courtesy in touch and riding. In particular, the suede chair surface can improve the skid resistance of drivers and passengers in riding, so as not to cause disturbing sliding action when the vehicle turns or accelerates or decelerates. In addition, the driver’s seat is equipped with six-way electric adjustment and lumbar support function, which can give the driver the most convenient and comfortable driving environment. However, the three steering wheels do not integrate multi-function buttons, which is a pity of Passat 1.8 TSI.
