Which car is the joint venture between JAC and Volkswagen?
2 Answers
In May 2017, JAC Motors officially announced the approval of a joint venture project with Volkswagen to produce pure electric vehicles. Jianghuai Volkswagen Co., Ltd. was established, creating a new brand called "SOL" focused on new energy vehicles. Below is relevant information: Products and Services: SOL vehicles fully benchmark Volkswagen's technology applications, Volkswagen's century-old quality standards, Volkswagen's stringent testing programs, and Volkswagen's process inspections. The QK value representing quality level has dropped to 2.4, meeting Volkswagen's global quality standards, providing users with a safer, more stable, and comfortable travel experience. Smart Features: The SOL X8 is equipped with the latest generation J-Link Zhiling connected car system. The iFLYTEK in-car voice 3.5 allows real-time voice control of navigation and multimedia operations, and supports remote control functions, whether it's pre-cooling the air conditioning or remotely closing windows, all can be easily achieved.
I'm quite familiar with this car because my neighbor just bought a SEHOL E10X, an electric vehicle jointly developed by JAC and Volkswagen. It drives very steadily, with Volkswagen's technical support ensuring a solid chassis and quick power response. After the joint venture, JAC handles production and localization, while Volkswagen oversees quality control, so the quality is almost on par with pure German cars. The SEHOL brand focuses on new energy vehicles, offering a range of over 300 kilometers, which is more than enough for daily commuting. The charging speed is impressive, reaching over 80% in just half an hour. I've done some research—the joint venture was established in 2017 and has also launched other models like the E40X, which offers more space and is suitable for families. Compared to single-brand models, joint venture vehicles are more reliable in terms of cost-performance and safety, with Volkswagen's quality control reducing failure rates. If you're considering a new car, the SEHOL series is worth a look. My neighbor mentioned that after a week of driving, it has few issues and is easy to maintain. Overall, this collaboration makes the cars better suited to the needs of Chinese consumers.
