Is the Golf Sportsvan an imported car?
2 Answers
Golf Sportsvan is not an imported car. It belongs to the compact car category, with body dimensions: length 4351mm, width 1807mm, height 1574mm, wheelbase 2685mm, fuel tank capacity 50l, luggage compartment capacity 500l, and tire specification 205/55r16. The Golf Sportsvan is equipped with a 1.2T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of kW, maximum power speed of 5000 to 6000 rpm, maximum torque of 200Nm, matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, and features MacPherson independent front suspension and trailing arm non-independent rear suspension.
Those who have driven the Golf Sportsvan know that the domestic version started selling in 2016, a China-specific model produced at the Changchun plant. The imported version was only sold in small batches when it was first introduced, and now it's basically unseen in the used car market. After FAW-Volkswagen localized production, the cost-performance ratio became much higher—the top trim could be driven off the lot for just 200,000 RMB. If you bought one after 2019, it’s 100% made in Changchun. My neighbor’s is the domestic version, and even the mechanics say parts are much easier to find than for the imported one. After localization, the tires were switched to Hankook, and the seat materials were adjusted for local preferences, making it more practical.
