2 Answers
Volkswagen Sagitar is produced at the FAW-Volkswagen Chengdu plant. Below are the relevant details: 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 is the successor to the fifth-generation Volkswagen Jetta, positioned as a "German high-performance sedan". 2. Powertrain: The 1.6L Sagitar model is equipped with the EA111 series engine, with a maximum output power increased to 105 horsepower (77kw) and a peak torque of 155N·m. It is paired with either a 5-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission. The power performance has been improved compared to the previous 1.6L Sagitar. The 1.4TSI and 1.8TSI engines remain the same as the current models, with the 1.8TSI model featuring a 7-speed DSG dual-clutch transmission replacing the previous 6AT transmission.
I've studied the Volkswagen Sagitar for a long time, and it is definitely a product of China, manufactured by FAW-Volkswagen in China. The factories are mainly located in places like Changchun and Chengdu, where there are large-scale production lines, making it a typical representative of Volkswagen's joint venture in China. Since mass production began in the 2000s, the Sagitar has been specifically designed for the Chinese market, with features like spacious interiors and high fuel efficiency, tailored to local road conditions. Why is it made in China? Because the joint venture model leverages local supply chains to reduce costs while ensuring quality, with components like the body and engine assembled domestically. If you're buying a car, a China-made model means readily available parts and service centers everywhere, making maintenance hassle-free—one of the reasons for its high sales.
