What is the name of the Volkswagen-JAC joint venture car?

Volkswagen-JAC joint venture cars are under the JAC Sehol brand. Below is an introduction to JAC Sehol and related information about its models: Introduction to JAC Sehol: Sehol is a joint venture established by JAC Motors Group and Volkswagen Group, and is one of Volkswagen's sub-brands. Its models cover three major product categories: sedans, SUVs, and leisure vehicles. Models under JAC Sehol: There are a total of 9 models, including the compact SUV Sehol QX, the micro pure electric vehicle Sehol E10X, the compact cars Sehol A5 and Sehol E50A, the small SUVs Sehol E40X, Sehol E20X, Sehol X4, and the last two mid-size SUVs Sehol X7 and Sehol X8.
The partnership between Volkswagen and JAC is quite interesting. Initially named JAC Volkswagen, it was dedicated to producing vehicles under the Sehol brand. The Sehol E20X electric cars seen on the streets back then were the fruits of their collaboration. However, at the end of 2020, the joint venture suddenly changed its name and is now called Volkswagen (Anhui) Company Limited. I checked the business registration information and found that Volkswagen's stake increased from 50% to 75%, effectively changing the actual control. The Sehol brand is now independently operated by JAC, while the new company mainly produces pure electric vehicles with the Volkswagen logo. Recently, spy photos of their new test vehicles have surfaced, using Volkswagen's MEB pure electric platform, and it's said that mass production will begin by the end of this year. This shift in the joint venture model actually reflects the profound adjustments in China's new energy vehicle market.
