After unveiling the all-new Touareg as well as a couple of SUVs in recent weeks for the Chinese market, Volkswagen is now ready to present the next-generation Lavida. What is it? It’s a no-frills compact family sedan with an emphasis on practicality and featuring a design that certainly won’t blow you away. Having sold approximately 450,000 units last year, it’s safe to say the Lavida is a very important model for VW’s Chinese branch, which managed to move nearly 3.2 million cars last year. Putting the MQB platform to good use once again, the third generation of the sedan will be sold alongside its PQ-based predecessor for a while. Chinese media is reporting the 2018 Lavida will be available with a 1.5-liter engine delivering 116 hp and a turbocharged 1.2-liter unit with the same output. A beefier turbo 1.4-liter can churn 150 hp. Buyers will get to pick from either a five-speed manual or an optional six-speed automatic.
Volkswagen is rigorously pursuing its product and technology offensive in its key market, launching nine new models in China in 2018 alone. The new generation of the Lavida, the market leader in compact saloon, and the new Volkswagen CC (the version of the Arteon made in China) will be making their debut at the Auto China 2018 exhibition in Beijing. Volkswagen will also be using the event as an opportunity to highlight its ambition in the important SUV segment with the new Touareg and the T-Roc. The company will offer a glimpse into the future with its I.D. VIZZION3 prototype, a futuristic electric and autonomous luxury saloon.
