Is the Bora a China-Exclusive Model?
1 Answers
The new Bora is a China-exclusive model, sharing the same platform as the new Lavida. It is designed and produced domestically, with no equivalent model available overseas. The Bora is FAW-Volkswagen's first independently designed vehicle, hailed as a new car that "inherits and surpasses the classic." Below is relevant information about China-exclusive models: 1. China-exclusive models refer to vehicles developed by multinational automakers specifically for Chinese consumers after understanding their unique needs. These models are sold only in China and have no counterparts abroad. 2. Joint-venture brands or multinational companies often create China-exclusive versions by lengthening, enlarging, or upgrading configurations of existing mature models (e.g., various "L" versions). These models offer larger interior spaces at the same price point. Since most Chinese families currently own only one car, it needs to serve multiple purposes—family trips and daily commuting. Therefore, space, comfort, and features are prioritized. China-exclusive models excel in these aspects, winning widespread consumer favor. 3. Compared to their overseas counterparts, China-exclusive models typically have higher ground clearance. Many are adjusted for China's diverse road conditions, with optimized chassis tuning and increased ride height to better suit local needs. This allows even sedans to navigate rural dirt roads without scraping the undercarriage.
