Those of you who are not familiar with the automotive industry in China will probably be surprised to hear that Volkswagen is the largest brand in the country by annual sales. More interestingly, the Wolfsburg-based manufacturer runs two joint ventures, VW-FAW and VW-SAIC, which are competing on the market as separate companies. Volkswagen Group has a bazillion models under its different brands currently available in the People’s Republic, and it is constantly working on new products.
One such new vehicle will come from the VW-FAW joint venture and will take the shape of a sport utility vehicle. Our photographers managed to capture a prototype of that new model testing on public roads and, surprisingly, it was spied in snowy Sweden. The fact that it was snapped up in Europe shouldn’t make you believe it will be available on the Old continent, though - this SUV is only for China.
