Is the Polo from FAW-Volkswagen or Shanghai Volkswagen?
2 Answers
The Polo is from Shanghai Volkswagen, but now there is only SAIC Volkswagen, as Shanghai Volkswagen has been renamed to SAIC Volkswagen Automotive Co., Ltd. This company is a large passenger car manufacturer jointly operated by China FAW Corporation, Volkswagen AG, Audi AG, and Volkswagen Investment Co., Ltd. The Polo is a compact car with dimensions of 3970mm in length, 1682mm in width, and 1462mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2470mm. The vehicle comes standard with ABS, power steering, front dual airbags, and offers optional features such as ESP and a navigation system.
I often chat with friends about car purchases. Last year when I considered buying a Polo, I specifically researched manufacturer information. Eventually I learned that the Polo is a model produced by SAIC Volkswagen rather than FAW-Volkswagen. This is mainly because SAIC Volkswagen's headquarters is in Shanghai and specializes in compact car production lines. Small cars like the Polo feature simple designs that are easy to drive, convenient for city parking, fuel-efficient, and have low maintenance costs. I remember the salesperson recommending it as a classic model suitable for young people or novice owners for daily commuting. I ultimately chose it because the brand is reliable and gives me peace of mind while driving.
