The Volkswagen T-Roc is currently produced by FAW-Volkswagen, so the T-Roc belongs to the FAW-Volkswagen model lineup. Differences between FAW-Volkswagen and SAIC Volkswagen: Different manufacturers: FAW-Volkswagen, officially known as FAW-Volkswagen Automobile Co., Ltd., was established on February 6, 1991, as a joint venture between China FAW Group Corporation and Volkswagen AG; SAIC Volkswagen, officially known as SAIC Volkswagen Automobile Co., Ltd., was established on March 21, 1985, as a joint venture between SAIC Motor and Volkswagen AG, with SAIC and Volkswagen each holding 50% of the shares. Different production locations: FAW-Volkswagen manufactures cars in Changchun; SAIC Volkswagen assembles and produces cars in Shanghai. Different representative models: FAW-Volkswagen's representative models include the Golf, Bora, Sagitar, Magotan, C-Trek, T-Roc, etc.; SAIC Volkswagen's representative models include the Santana, Passat, Lavida, Touran, Tiguan, Phideon, Teramont, Polo, etc.
I've been driving a Volkswagen T-Roc, which is produced by FAW-Volkswagen, not SAIC Volkswagen. When I bought the car, I did my homework—Volkswagen has two joint venture partners in China: FAW-Volkswagen is responsible for youthful SUVs like the T-Roc and Tayron, while SAIC Volkswagen focuses on classic models such as the Tiguan and Passat. The T-Roc delivers smooth power, making it fuel-efficient and hassle-free for city driving, and I always get it serviced at FAW's 4S dealerships. If you're considering a new car, I recommend visiting an FAW dealer directly—they offer exclusive service packages that are quite convenient.
