Hot! Volkswagen: What's Next

[Fastpaddy]

BYD is for people who buy vauxhall/opel, peugeots, renaults, ford etc

If youre in the market for a benz or bimma you aint cross shopping with that cheap junk

Volkswagen may need China, but China no longer needs Volkswagen.

To survive in China the VW management have to act fast in a similar way Toyota has with the latest BZ3Xwith the introduction of new EV models based on a partner Chinese platform with styling and tech to be on par with BYD and Geely brand models. Then they need to bring them out at super low prices. The ID3 new version will have to be a $14000 car. They will have to accept huge losses but if they get huge volumes it will help offset the initial losses.

China does not need any car manufacturer by this point. They got all the R&D possible in their hand , from EU.

As long as EU manufacturers keep pushing "black piano" and heated seats as an option , China has nothing to copy/paste

 

[KiwiRob]

BYD is a battery manufacturer, basically the most important part of an EV so they don't count.

Do NIO, Geely, Zeekr, Xpeng count? I'm seeing a lot more NIO's now than I have in the past.

Big shock. 5 years ago VAG was all china, china, china, CHYNA! Rapid expansion with lots of market specific sedans including long wheelbase ones that are not available elsewhere.

there's only going to be more Chinese, so we need to be prepared.

A shame that it is now gone IMHO.

Not only is the Arteons exterior design lightyears superior to that of the IMHO visually seriously unappealing ID.7. It remains capable of holding its own against a good number of far more current products. VAG and other manufacturers alike.

I completely forgot or maybe didn't even know that a shooting brake exists.

Even VW themselves forgot about it, or they would have stopped producing it sooner.

The model is pretty in puke green. Disappointingly it never got much attention from VW. Its swag is a like an uncle who worse trainers and popped collar polo shirt to look cool, but did nothing street cred worthy since.

Volkswagen doubling down with its Chinese market strategy:

Three nearly production ready concepts at the Shanghai Motor Show 2025. All in cooperation with VWs Chinese partners FAW, SAIC and Anhui. An SUV, a SAC and a sedan-all BEVs. All designed under the supervision of Andreas Mindt (which is a GOOD thing).

The electric VW Touareg-sized production near ID.EVO Concept by Volkswagen-Anhui for the Chinese market. Presentation next week at the 2025 Shanghai Motor Show.

This is the all new Volkswagen Tera.

Another crossover based on the MQB A0 Volkswagen Polo. The Tera is smaller than the Nivus (Taigo in Europe) and it is related to the Indian built Skoda Kylaq, except the Tera is built in Brazil and soon it will be built in South Africa as well. Volkswagen has no plans to sell the Tera in Europe.

Tragic for the in-hous R&D team at VW. Their platforms have now been rendered garbage.

I'm not up to speed with Rivian at all, would this mean that VW has no small/compact EV projects? I mean, is the R2 suitable for a Polo, for instance?

Highly scalable Rivian R2 architecture can be used for all segments in which VAG has a presence. From Polo sized vehicles all the way up to large SUVs and sedans well over 5 meters in length. The transition will allegedly be gradual, the evolved MEB (".2", "+" or "evo"...or whatever) will be around for a few years yet. The same applies to the PPE architecture.
