Its biggest highlight is the use of variable cross-section turbocharger (VTG) for the first time. By installing guide vanes with adjustable vortex cross-section, the cross-sectional area of exhaust gas inlet is changed.

The interior has been greatly changed. it uses a new 12 inch central control screen with a resolution of 1720x860 pixels , and supports touch and gesture sensing. At the same time, the new Sagitar will also provide a travel assist L2 level driving assistance system.
