When will the Volkswagen SEAT Formentor be launched in China?
2 Answers
It will be officially launched in the fourth quarter of 2020. Currently, the SEAT brand is a subsidiary of Volkswagen AG in Germany. After the SEAT brand joined the Volkswagen Group, it introduced the new flagship model Toledo. It uses Volkswagen components, and some models' chassis, steering, and suspension systems are designed by Volkswagen. Additional information: Interior: The overall interior layout is the same as the Ibiza, with the center console tilted towards the driver's side. However, compared to the Ibiza, the interior shows more Volkswagen family characteristics, such as the shortcut buttons on the steering wheel, but the overall effect of the interior remains quite distinctive. Although the SEAT Ateca carries strong Volkswagen elements, it is equipped with abundant high-tech features and offers a variety of engine and transmission combinations, providing consumers with diversified choices.
I think the SEAT Formentor, this crossover SUV, is quite popular in Europe with its sporty design and strong performance, but it has never made an appearance in the Chinese market. Rumor has it that due to adjustments in Volkswagen's previous project with JAC, the SEAT brand has no immediate plans to enter. Last year, there were already reports that the introduction plan fell through, and the official side hasn’t announced any launch timeline, so it seems unlikely in the short term. If I were you, I’d focus on other vehicles from the Volkswagen Group, like the Tiguan or the ŠKODA Kodiaq—similar in style and easier to buy in China. Just wait for the latest updates; who knows, the market might change. With cars, there’s no need to rush—comparing options is always the right move.
