Volkswagen AG plans to supply global markets—except for Europe—with a small SUV/crossover vehicle made initially in China.
Initial production of the China-developed model will begin in August through VW’s venture with SAIC, according to Diess. He says assembly will expand in 2020 to Argentina, Mexico and Russia.
The compact SUV will use VW’s MQB platform for vehicles with transverse-mounted front-drive engines. VW targets annual sales of 400,000 units worldwide.
