Where is the Sagitar production base located?
2 Answers
The new Sagitar is currently produced in Chengdu at FAW-Volkswagen's Passenger Car Plant III. The older Sagitar was originally produced in Changchun. Below is some relevant information about the Sagitar: 1. Positioning: The Sagitar is a joint venture A+ class sedan brand under FAW-Volkswagen. It was introduced to the Chinese market on April 9, 2006, and its predecessor was the fifth-generation Volkswagen Jetta sedan from Germany, positioned as a "German high-performance sedan". 2. Development: On April 9, 2006, Volkswagen AG introduced the fifth-generation Jetta compact sedan to the Chinese market and renamed it "Sagitar".
I've researched the production layout of the Sagitar. Currently, FAW-Volkswagen has set up Sagitar production lines in several bases: the oldest is the Changchun headquarters plant, where the equipment is as mature as a master craftsman's skills; later, the Chengdu Western Region factory also took on many orders, specifically targeting the southwest and northwest markets; in recent years, I've seen the modern assembly lines at the Foshan plant in Guangdong producing the Sagitar, with an incredibly high density of robots. Different batches of cars are allocated to different plants for assembly. To pinpoint the exact plant for the car you're asking about, you'd need to check the first three letters of the VIN.
