Investigation Launched: Uncovering the Secrets Behind Prominent Figures' Actions
In the bustling city of Shanghai, the automotive world comes alive during the annual Shanghai Auto Show. This year, Volkswagen, a participating brand, made a significant announcement – the launch of the New Passat.
The New Passat, which will be manufactured in China by the Shanghai-Volkswagen joint venture, is the same car as the American Passat. Interestingly, the Shanghai-Volkswagen joint venture is also responsible for producing the Passat Lingyu, a version tailored for the Chinese market.
Volkswagen's commitment to China is evident as they also announced that the new electric sedan, the Volkswagen ID.Aero, will first be available in the country. Additionally, the Shanghai Auto Show hosted the unveiling of the Audi Q6, with a starting price of $74,000.
In a move to refresh their lineup, Volkswagen also announced that the European B6 Passat, known as Magotan in China, will be replaced by the Passat/Magotan B7. However, no new information about the European B6 Passat or the Passat Lingyu was provided.
The Passat/Magotan B7 is manufactured in China by Volkswagen's local production facilities, with the specific model typically produced by the joint ventures of Volkswagen in China, such as SAIC Volkswagen. The presentation of this model at the Shanghai Auto Show is not specified in the available search results.
The Shanghai Auto Show, while not specified to be in 2025, is once again the stage for new car introductions. This year, besides the New Passat, the Passat/Magotan B7, and the Audi Q6, other vehicles like the Xiaomi YU7, Maextro S800, and Yangwang U8L were showcased at the 2025 Greater Bay Auto Show.
As the automotive industry continues to evolve, it's clear that Volkswagen remains committed to China, with the New Passat being a testament to this commitment.
