Is the Bora produced by FAW-Volkswagen or SAIC?
2 Answers
The Bora is a compact sedan produced by FAW-Volkswagen, with a body length of 4663mm, width of 1815mm, height of 1462mm, and a wheelbase of 2688mm. The body structure is a 4-door, 5-seat sedan with a trunk capacity of 506 liters. The Bora incorporates Volkswagen's new design language, including a streamlined body design, three-section rear styling, 16-inch alloy wheels, and wedge-shaped chrome fog lights, equipped with a new LED headlight assembly. The Bora has a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters, powered by the EA211DMB engine with a naturally aspirated intake system, inline cylinder arrangement, aluminum alloy cylinder head and block, and multi-point electronic fuel injection. It is paired with either a 5-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed automatic transmission.
As a car enthusiast, I always pay close attention to model ownership. The Bora is indeed a FAW-Volkswagen model. Since its introduction to China in 2001, it has been consistently produced and sold by FAW-Volkswagen. SAIC Volkswagen mainly handles models like the Passat and Tiguan, which are completely separate from the Bora. If you visit auto shows or dealerships, you can easily spot these details—FAW-Volkswagen focuses on Volkswagen's mid-to-high-end models, such as the Magotan and Sagitar, which also belong to their lineup. The Bora is based on Volkswagen's global platform but has been localized to target the family car market, offering affordability and durability. I recommend checking the official website or manual to confirm the manufacturer when car shopping to avoid wasting time at the wrong dealership.
