Does the Lavida XR belong to FAW-Volkswagen or SAIC Volkswagen?

The Lavida XR belongs to SAIC Volkswagen. Introduction to the Lavida XR: The Lavida XR (Gran-Lavida) is a model launched by SAIC Volkswagen in 2013. As the hatchback version of the Lavida, it was unveiled at the Shanghai Auto Show in April 2013 and went on sale in June. The front design of the Lavida XR inherits the Volkswagen family face, with only slight differences in the details of the grille and bumper air intake. Many automotive professionals believe that the side design of the Lavida hatchback bears a high resemblance to the Audi A3. Meaning of the car name: Gran originates from Latin, translated in English as Grand, meaning grand, symbolizing the elegant body and spacious rear space. The Chinese name "Lavida XR" carries richer spiritual connotations. It conveys a young yet rational mindset, the courage to pursue infinite possibilities, and the anticipation of experiencing unknown life. The Gran-Lavida Lavida XR surpasses not just space but also the imagination of life. It is an elegant, high-quality, spacious hatchback that carries the infinite possibilities of life.
I remember the Lavida Hatchback was a product of Shanghai Volkswagen, now known as SAIC Volkswagen. The red Lavida Hatchback I saw on the road before was particularly eye-catching. It's the sibling of the Lavida sedan version and sold quite well mainly between 2013 and 2020, but it's been discontinued now. If you're considering buying one, you might still find it in the used car market. It's more compact than the sedan version, and the trunk is quite practical—you can even fit a folded stroller without needing to collapse the canopy when picking up or dropping off kids.
