Which FAW-Volkswagen models have been discontinued?
2 Answers
FAW-Volkswagen has discontinued the Volkswagen Tiguan, Volkswagen Jetta, Volkswagen Gol, Volkswagen Caddy, Volkswagen CC, and Volkswagen Beetle. The following are the differences between FAW-Volkswagen and SAIC Volkswagen: 1. Establishment time: FAW-Volkswagen was established in 1991, while SAIC Volkswagen was established in 1985. 2. Joint venture: FAW-Volkswagen is a joint venture between FAW Group Corporation and Volkswagen AG; SAIC Volkswagen involves investments from both Chinese and German parties. 3. Production lines: SAIC Volkswagen produces brands including Santana, Passat, POLO, Gol, Lavida, Touran, Tiguan, Skoda Octavia, and Superb; FAW-Volkswagen produces brands including Audi, Jetta, Golf, Bora, Sagitar, Magotan, and CC.
I remember FAW-Volkswagen has discontinued quite a few models, like the classic Jetta sedan model, which stopped production after being spun off into the Jetta brand; the Bora Classic is another example, now replaced by the new Bora; and the Caddy series, which was discontinued long ago. Why were they discontinued? The market changes rapidly, environmental regulations have become stricter, older models can't keep up with the new standards, and sales have declined. As a car owner who has driven these models, I think although used cars are cheap, maintenance is troublesome and parts are hard to find. I suggest checking official cases before buying a car to avoid discontinued models. Actually, this reflects technological progress—new cars are more energy-efficient and perform better, which is better for everyone in the long run.
