São Bernardo do Campo (Brazil). The Nivus arrives to make history. With an innovative design and new connectivity and streaming concepts, the Nivus comes out now in a totally digital world presentation, from Brazil to the world. The new model has been developed by Volkswagen South America and will be manufactured initially at the Anchieta factory, in São Bernardo do Campo, SP, to be commercialized in the South American market. In a second moment, the model will be made also in Europe.

First model developed in the region that will be manufactured and commercialized also in the European market, one of the world's most competitive", says Pablo Di Si, president and CEO of Volkswagen Latin America. "Since 2017, we have fully renewed our portfolio, in the largest product offensive in Volkswagen's history in the region. The New Brand Design also inaugurates our New Brand Design in South America. This is much more than a new brand logo. It is a brand attitude, with new colors, closer to people", emphasizes Di Si.

The Nivus will be officially launched in the Brazilian market in the next few weeks. In Argentina, the model will be in the dealerships at the end of the second half this year. The first semester of 2021 will be the time for the remaining South American markets to receive the Nivus. The model will be also launched in Europe, during next year's second half.

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.
