In April, FAW-Volkswagen held a pre-show communication meeting for the 2025 Shanghai Auto Show. At the meeting, FAW-Volkswagen announced its lineup for the show and revealed its new product plans for the next two years. For the auto show, FAW-Volkswagen will showcase new technologies, new products, and a fresh image. The company aims to present a new blueprint for brand transformation. Instead of focusing solely on technology, products, and image, I prefer to describe this auto show as FAW-Volkswagen’s display of “yesterday, today, and tomorrow.”
Yesterday, FAW-Volkswagen showcased all its models at the auto show. The lineup included the flagship SUV, the Horizon, the Tour, the new Tayron L, the T-Cross, the Magotan, the Sagitar, the new Golf, and the ID family. These key models continue to strengthen the foundation laid during the era of fuel vehicles.
Today, we unveil a new model. One of the most important is the new Land Rover. This vehicle features a complete design overhaul. It also upgrades its smart technology significantly. The new model is larger and offers both 6-seat and 7-seat layouts. Most importantly, it will include the fifth-generation EA888 engine. Overall, the product’s capabilities will see a significant boost.
Tomorrow, we will look at the future product concept of FAW-Volkswagen. The highlight is the first concept car on the new CMP platform for new energy. This model will take center stage at the exhibition. It will guide Volkswagen’s product direction for the next cycle, featuring new ideas in design and intelligence. Additionally, the auto show will showcase a new smart cockpit. This cockpit will demonstrate advanced local technology in intelligence.
FAW-Volkswagen announced its new product plan for the next two years. The company will follow the guidance of its Chinese and German shareholders. It will leverage its strong foundation in advanced technology, comprehensive capabilities, and customer trust. FAW-Volkswagen aims to drive new productivity through technological innovation. It will focus on customers and adhere to long-term and altruistic principles. The company seeks to offer more high-quality products to consumers. At the same time, it aims to set a new benchmark for high-quality development in the global automotive industry. It will maintain quality, service, and safety to promote healthy brand growth.
Volkswagen plans to launch over 20 new models across all its brands. These include fuel, pure electric, and hybrid vehicles. FAW-Volkswagen will introduce a new model every month in 2025. The all-new Talagon will debut mid-year. The new Sagitar will arrive in the third quarter. The all-new ID.4 will launch in the fourth quarter. Several models will also receive updates. In 2026, the company will release 10 new models. This lineup includes 5 pure electric, 2 plug-in hybrids, 2 range-extended, and 1 fuel model. All will feature the new CEV electrification architecture. Notably, the first model under the CMP architecture will launch in the third quarter of 2026. This new vehicle will target the A-segment electric market and become a key product for FAW-Volkswagen. By introducing these new products, FAW-Volkswagen aims to shift from a follower to a leader in the new energy sector.
