With a total length of 4.6 meters and a capacity of 472 liters of luggage compartment, is an important step for the brand for its excellent relationship between size and price, something that had not always escorted to the Volkswagen Lavida models. Extended for five passengers, will have three levels of equipment very complete and since finishing basic Trendline provides ABS + EBD, automatic climate control, dual airbags, power package, sound equipment, etc.. In the Comfortline and Highline also found the alloy wheels, side airbags, leather seats, sunroof, speed control, parking sensor, exterior chrome package, wood inserts and even a full multimedia system with DVD and preparing for phone the Highline.

Volkswagen these days begins marketing the new Volkswagen Lavida in China, a mid-sized sedan that aims to steal sales to Hyundai Elantra, Chery Fora cost saloons and other content. It has been designed exclusively for this market.

The initial range of Volkswagen Lavida consists of only two mechanical gasoline, with 1.6 liters and 2.0 liters and 105 hp to 120 hp. Although serial come equipped with manual, the option can be requested management Tiptronic automatic gearbox and six-speed sequential.

The remaining details of the small sedan will be revealed gradually by the German company now that has shown the first official image of the model obscured, as usual in recent months with the most important vehicles.

As far as can be seen in the picture, we can say that has some resemblance to the Astra Sedan profile, and that has some backdoors of considerable size. Just over, but he let the image to draw your own conclusions.

The Volkswagen Lavida (and apparently not "The Life") is the first sedan from Volkswagen exclusive to China, and will enter production this summer.

TheVolkswagen Lavida resting on the old but successful platform PQ34 (A3 8L/Octavia Mk1), and will focus on fighting with rival luxury such as the Buick excelled. To this end, washing measured 100 mm tip to tip that the Bora / Jetta, a characteristic that has made him the adjective "mini-Phaeton" between the press china.

It is a pity that the issue has so little visual personality. If you fixed on the grid is clearly Volkswagen, but the rest of the bodywork is a collage of a thousand and one different models. Although the same feature is a well-studied, who knows, no one tells us that Chinese consumers do not look for aesthetic characteristics that we might slip. If everything goes well, Shanghai Volkswagen should arrange around 8,000 Laver during the second half of this year.
