All new VW Lavida at the Auto China Beijing 2018
After unveiling the all-new Touareg as well as a couple of SUVs in recent weeks for the Chinese market, Volkswagen is now ready to present the next-generation Lavida. What is it? It’s a no-frills compact family sedan with an emphasis on practicality and featuring a design that certainly won’t blow you away. Having sold approximately 450,000 units last year, it’s safe to say the Lavida is a very important model for VW’s Chinese branch, which managed to move nearly 3.2 million cars last year. Putting the MQB platform to good use once again, the third generation of the sedan will be sold alongside its PQ-based predecessor for a while. Chinese media is reporting the 2018 Lavida will be available with a 1.5-liter engine delivering 116 hp and a turbocharged 1.2-liter unit with the same output. A beefier turbo 1.4-liter can churn 150 hp. Buyers will get to pick from either a five-speed manual or an optional six-speed automatic.
