While high-tech features are becoming increasingly common in new vehicles, three-screen setups have typically been reserved for premium models. Volkswagen aims to challenge this norm in China with its latest sedan, the Magotan.

Closely related to the new European Volkswagen Passat and the Skoda Superb, this mid-size sedan is going one step above and beyond, as evidenced by a set of photos showing the interior that surfaced online. In addition to the digital instrument screen and the large touchscreen in the center, the Magotan will also feature a rectangular screen (which appears to have touch controls) on the passenger side. This feature mirrors the setup seen in newer Porsche and Mercedes-Benz models.

Considering that features like these are often not exclusive to particular vehicles or markets, it’s reasonable to expect that this setup may be offered in other cars within the Volkswagen group.

It makes sense for the Magotan to offer this feature as Chinese consumers are particularly interested in high-tech features, and VW is working hard to regain market share. While it remains unclear when (or if) this setup will be offered in other regions, the Magotan will be the first MQB Evo-based model with three displays on the dashboard.

In addition, the photos posted on Chinese social media give us our best look yet at the exterior of the Magotan. As we saw before, the model is about the same size as the latest Passat, featuring its own distinctive styling details.

We can see that the Magotan will get a body-wide light strip at the front with an illuminated white VW badge. Similarly, it will get a brake light that stretches across the full width of the car, and an illuminated red badge at the back.

According to disclosures made with the Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the new VW model will be powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine good for 217 hp (162 kW/220 PS). However, Chinese media have reported that the model may also be offered with a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine rated at 158 hp (118 kW/160 PS).
