It has not been discontinued. Detailed information about the FAW-Volkswagen C-TREK is as follows: 1. The vehicle is produced by FAW-Volkswagen and is positioned as a compact car. Currently, there are three models available for sale, including the C-TREK 2020 1.5L Automatic Fashion Edition, Automatic Comfort Edition, and Automatic Luxury Edition. 2. The vehicle has a length of 4559 mm, a width of 1793 mm, a height of 1487 mm, a wheelbase of 2614 mm, and a minimum ground clearance of 132 mm. The body structure is a station wagon with five doors and five seats. The fuel tank capacity is 55 liters, and the trunk capacity is 1315 liters. 3. The vehicle is equipped with a DLF 1.5L naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine producing 112 horsepower, with a maximum power output of 82 kW and a maximum torque of 145 Nm. The engine reaches its maximum power at 6100 rpm and its maximum torque at 4000 rpm. The vehicle features a front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout and is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission across all models.
Speaking of the FAW-Volkswagen C-TREK, from the information I've gathered, it has indeed been discontinued, around 2020 or so. The main reason is that the Volkswagen Group shifted to the new MQB platform, leading to the gradual phasing out of older platform models. As a product of the PQ34 platform, the C-TREK couldn't keep up with the changing technological demands, such as the upgrade to the China 6B emission standards, which it couldn't meet. Nowadays, new cars on the market have shifted to the ID series of electric vehicles or newer fuel models like the eighth-generation Golf. What impact does the discontinuation have on consumers? Forget about buying a new one—you can only look for it in the used car market, but be sure to check the vehicle's condition. I recommend keeping an eye on Volkswagen's official website or app for updates on the latest models. The discontinuation of the C-TREK also reflects the broader trend in the automotive industry toward electrification and smart technology, so when choosing a car, it's best to look toward the future.
