FAW Volkswagen, founded in Changchun in 1991, builds Volkswagens for China under names that puzzle owners here. The Sagitar is the China-market Jetta, the Magotan is the Passat as built by FAW, and the Bora and C-Trek have followed their own paths. Volkswagen's other Chinese partner, SAIC, sells a different line-up again. These cars are uncommon imports in the UAE, and because local VW catalogues list Gulf-spec models, we identify each car by year, engine and fitted battery before choosing a replacement.

What a FAW Volkswagen typically takes
We do not publish a specification range for FAW Volkswagen because we would be guessing. Send us the model and year on WhatsApp and we confirm the exact battery, the price and the arrival time in one message.
Translating the model name
A Sagitar is broadly a Jetta and a Magotan broadly a Passat, but each was engineered or tuned for China, with its own length, trims and engines. Looking up the Gulf equivalent gives a starting point, not an answer. The size, capacity and technology printed on the fitted battery show what the car left the factory with, and that is what we match.
Battery sensors and start-stop
Newer Sagitar, Magotan, Tayron and T-Roc models use Volkswagen group electronics, with a sensor on the battery and, on many versions, start-stop that needs an EFB or AGM. A flooded battery in its place makes start-stop drop out and wears out early. After fitting, the car may need the new battery adapted, and not every tool in the UAE handles China-market VWs, so ask your specialist first.
Older Bora and Jetta saloons
The FAW-built Bora and the long-running Jetta saloon were simple, durable cars used heavily as family transport and taxis in China. Those that reach the UAE are usually older, with conventional batteries and no energy management to worry about. The real enemy is heat: a basic flooded battery under a hot bonnet here often manages only two summers.
FAW Volkswagen models: what to know
- Sagitar
- China-market Jetta; newer versions with start-stop need an EFB or AGM of matching capacity.
- Magotan
- FAW's Passat; larger engines and extra equipment push the capacity up, so confirm year and engine.
- Bora
- Long-running compact saloon; older examples use a conventional battery that heat wears out quickly.
- CC
- Coupe-styled saloon built by FAW; check for AGM on the better-equipped versions.
- Tayron
- China-market SUV from FAW; its electrical load is closer to a family SUV than a small saloon.
- C-Trek
- China-only model with a raised, rugged look; local parts listings omit it, so the fitted battery is our guide.

Questions, answered.
Often it is similar, since the Sagitar is China's version of the Jetta, but specifications vary with year and equipment. We confirm from the battery in your car rather than a Gulf-spec Jetta listing.
Many newer versions use battery monitoring and benefit from adaptation after a replacement. We fit the correct type and capacity and tell you if adaptation is advised; check that your specialist's tool supports China-market cars.
