What is the Volkswagen Fastback?
3 Answers
Volkswagen Fastback refers to a type of vehicle where the transition from the rear glass to the trunk exhibits a significant slope. Below is a brief introduction about Volkswagen: 1. Basic Information: Volkswagen Group, also known as Volkswagen AG. Founded in 1938, headquartered in Wolfsburg, Germany. It is the largest automobile company in Europe and one of the most powerful multinational corporations in the global automotive industry. In 1984, Volkswagen established its first joint venture in China, Shanghai Volkswagen. In 1991, it established its second joint venture, FAW-Volkswagen, in Changchun. 2. Business Areas: Volkswagen Group has 68 wholly-owned and joint ventures worldwide. Its business areas include automotive R&D, production, sales, logistics, services, automotive components, car rental, financial services, auto insurance, banking, and IT services.
In the Chinese automotive circle, I often hear the term 'Volkswagen Da Liubei,' which refers to the Volkswagen CC or its successor model, the Arteon. This car features a beautiful fastback design, with the roof smoothly descending towards the rear, giving it a coupe-like appearance while actually being a practical four-door sedan. Why is it called 'Da Liubei'? Because of its sleek body lines that exude a sporty feel, the CC was very popular when it was first launched. The fastback design offers many benefits: not only does it look stylish, but it also provides a large trunk opening for easy loading and unloading of items, and it has slightly lower wind resistance, which helps save fuel. As someone who frequently attends auto shows, I think this Volkswagen model is particularly popular among younger demographics, striking a good balance between daily commuting and weekend getaways, making it a great choice.
As a car owner, I've also taken notice of the fastback models, specifically the Volkswagen CC or Arteon. The fastback design gives the car a low-slung and sporty appearance, while also improving stability during driving due to the lowered center of gravity. I use it daily to pick up and drop off my kids at school, and I find the trunk space quite practical—especially when loading children's bicycles, it's much more convenient than regular sedans. The body design also reduces rear blind spots, enhancing driving safety. In urban traffic jams, this type of car feels nimble and easy to handle, never giving a sense of bulkiness. I'd recommend it to friends who seek both practicality and style.
