Auto Show Guangzhou 2020

Auto Show Guangzhou 2020

The future of Volkswagen is electric

In spectacular fashion, the Volkswagen brand presented its latest models for the most important e-mobility market at the end of November at the largest Chinese auto show in Guangzhou. One thing became very clear: The future of the brand is electric, fully connected and balance sheet CO2 neutral. With a spectacular portfolio of over 30 models, Volkswagen impressed not only experts but also interested customers. The Viloran and the CC Shooting Brake, among others, made a sparkling appearance. A particular highlight was the Touareg Plug-in Hybrid – with the electrification of its flagship model, the brand is setting a new milestone in terms of e-mobility and the future. The ID.4 brought double joy: The world car is being launched in China in two versions: as ID.4 X and ID.4 CROZZ.

Volkswagen steps up e-offensive in China

Volkswagen has moved another step closer towards its goal of becoming the market leading brand in the field of electromobility, and not just by participating in the Guangzhou Auto Show: Volkswagen opens a new research and development center for e-mobility in China. As a first step, a new research and development center was inaugurated at the Hefei site in December. In addition to the e-mobility hub, Volkswagen is also aiming to establish a digital hub in Anhui. It is intended to support Volkswagen’s activities in the areas of connectivity and digital services. Furthermore, by expanding its position at JAC Volkswagen, the company can further develop the joint venture and thus take the next step in its electrification strategy in China.

The specified fuel consumption and emission data are determined in accordance with the measurement procedures prescribed by law. 1 January 2022, the WLTP test cycle completely replaced the NEDC test cycle and therefore no NEDC values are available for new type approved vehicles after that date.

This information does not refer to a single vehicle and is not part of the offer but is only intended for comparison between different types of vehicles. Additional equipment and accessories (additional components, tyre formats, etc.) can alter relevant vehicle parameters such as weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics, affecting the vehicle's fuel consumption, power consumption, CO2 emissions and driving performance values in addition to weather and traffic conditions and individual driving behavior.

Due to more realistic testing conditions, fuel consumption and CO2 emissions measured according to WLTP will in many cases be higher than the values measured according to NEDC. As a result, the taxation of vehicles may change accordingly as of 1 September 2018. For further information on the differences between WLTP and NEDC, please visit www.volkswagen.de/wltp.

Further information on official fuel consumption data and official specific CO2 emissions for new passenger cars can be found in the "Guide to fuel economy, CO2 emissions and power consumption for new passenger car models", which is available free of charge from all sales dealerships and from DAT Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH, Hellmuth-Hirth-Str. 1, D-73760 Ostfildern, Germany and at www.dat.de/co2.
