How long does it take to customize a car on FAW-Volkswagen Mall?

[JaydenFitz]

It takes approximately more than 20 days to customize a car on FAW-Volkswagen Mall. Below is the relevant information: 1. Volkswagen: FAW-Volkswagen Automotive Co., Ltd. was established on February 6, 1991. It is a large passenger vehicle production enterprise jointly operated by China FAW Corporation Limited, Volkswagen AG, Audi AG, and Volkswagen (China) Investment Co., Ltd. It is the first modern passenger vehicle production enterprise in China to start construction according to economic scale. 2. FAW: China FAW Group Corporation (referred to as FAW Group, China FAW, or FAW, with the English name FAW) is located in Luyuan District, Changchun City, Jilin Province, China. Its predecessor was the First Automobile Works, with the factory name personally inscribed by Chairman Mao Zedong and founded by Rao Bin. The foundation was laid on July 15, 1953.

I just ordered a customized Sagitar on the official website, and it took almost two months from placing the order to picking up the car. The salesperson initially said custom-built vehicles require at least 45 days of waiting, mainly depending on the complexity of optional configurations. I added Dynaudio audio system and panoramic sunroof, which took the factory three weeks just to schedule production. After the car was built, it got stuck at a logistics hub for over a week, and the dealership spent several more days conducting new car inspections. Delivery times vary significantly between cities—a friend who ordered the same model in Changchun got his car half a month faster than me. I sincerely recommend avoiding the year-end car-buying peak season when three-month waits aren’t uncommon.

In the past few years of car sales, customers ordering vehicles with personalized configurations typically have to wait 6-10 weeks. Last week, a Tiguan owner who took delivery had chosen Glacier Blue metallic paint and matrix headlights—just the paint mixing alone took an extra 10 days compared to standard options. The online ordering process is now faster, with payments made in the morning entering the production scheduling system by the afternoon. The worst scenario is encountering parts shortages—last month, a customer who customized a heated steering wheel had to wait a full three weeks for the parts. For those in urgent need of a car, opting for in-stock vehicles is a better choice, and the dealership's installation services are actually quite reliable.

Last week, I helped my cousin track his custom Golf. It took 37 days from order placement to shipping status. The degree of personalization determines the timeline—selecting the R-Line package took a week longer than changing the interior color. The key is to check the parts inventory in the system, as components like the ACC cruise module often require transfers. Shipping is the most unpredictable factor—rail transport is faster but more expensive than road transport, and dealers usually opt for the latter. After obtaining the chassis number, you can check real-time progress on the Volkswagen official account, which is much more reassuring than waiting blindly.

I've studied the car customization process. After an automaker receives an order, the average production scheduling cycle is 20 working days. For example, if you opt for a Harman Kardon audio system, you'll have to wait for the imported audio modules to arrive before installation. Transportation accounts for the majority of the time—shipping from the Changchun plant to southern regions takes at least two weeks. A friend once encountered a 10-day delay due to factory quality inspection rework. When placing an order, I recommend asking the salesperson for the production schedule, which shows estimated timelines for each step—it's more reliable than verbal promises.

My colleague's experience of customizing a Magotan in March is quite informative: payment was made on the 2nd via the official website, production started on the 15th, and the chosen pearl white paint extended the spraying process. The vehicle rolled off the production line in early April but got stuck in the logistics park during the Qingming holiday, finally arriving at the dealership on the 25th. Pre-delivery tasks like PDI inspection and window tinting were completed, so the car wasn't driven until after May Day. The whole process took nine weeks, longer than the official six-week estimate, but seeing the car configured exactly to personal preferences made the wait worthwhile.
