On September 19th, the FAW-Volkswagen TAYRON brand launch conference was held in the Great Wall of Jinshanling. At this press conference, FAW-Volkswagen officially announced the Chinese name of its first high-end mid-size SUV
TAYRON - Exploring Yue, meaning "exploring truth, Wangchuan Lunyue", among which "exploration" symbolizes constant exploration The spirit of seeking; "Yue", representing Zhuoran's independence and lofty pride, indicates that the exploration of Yue will accompany more people to explore, challenge, and conquer.

As the first high-end mid-size SUV of the FAW-Volkswagen SUV family, Detective Yue is the new generation of products in the mid- to high-end SUV market, and is also the backbone of the FAW-Volkswagen SUV family. It will use the golden construction principle, the “Feng Shang” design concept, the ultimate control experience and the forward-looking technology represented by L2 intelligent driving assistance to create a new generation of German high-end medium-sized SUV.
In this regard, Dong Xiuhui, deputy general manager of FAW-Volkswagen Automotive Co., Ltd. and general manager of FAW-Volkswagen Sales Co., Ltd., said: "Exploring Yue not only supports the mission of FAW-Volkswagen's "brand up", but also leads FAW-Volkswagen. The other SUV products form the SUV family product sequence and open the FAW-Volkswagen SUV era!"
Feng Shang Shang" design concept. Exploring Yue leads the new thinking of mass brand SUV design

The English name TAYRON of Tangyue comes from Tiger+Iron, which means theleader and the pioneering “tiger” and the durable and invincible “steel”. Through strong design, it shows its ambition and strength to conquer.

TAYRON explores the concept of “Feng Shang Shang” and breaks the bondage of traditional style. It is based on the three leading ideas of “breakthrough”, “respect” and “resonance”, and strives to realize the emotional resonance of people and vehicles through a breakthrough appearance and full respect for the driver's interior.
The first is a breakthrough. The appearance of the exploration of Yue has the courage to dare to break the rules and the strength to lead the trend. For example, the eight ridges of the front hood form a converging posture, giving a strong sense of power; the honeycomb chain grille design enhances the modern sense; the rhythmic waistline on the side is sharp and flexible, connecting the full wheel pack and the strong The shoulders of the car highlight the posture of forward movement, bringing a pioneering dynamic beauty and leading the future design direction of the popular SUV.

Secondly, respecting, the interior design of the exploration Yue fully respects the user's driving experience, and gives them a comfortable experience with the ultimate human care. For example, the driver-centered horizontal extended cockpit and center console's floating design; up to 18 surround ambience lights and large-area interior soft pack materials create a warm and comfortable interior for the occupants The environment is decorated to convey a strong sense of technology and comfort, fully expressing respect for the occupants and ubiquitous care.
The last is resonance, which is intended to resonate between product design and user emotions through the blending of style and taste. The designer of the exploration hall fully understands the psychological appeal of the current users, strives to demonstrate the pioneering style with a breakthrough appearance, meets their high-grade pursuit, and respects the human interior design to create a spiritual harbor with temperature and affection. , triggering its strong emotional resonance.
Gold Structure Guidelines Redefining the new rules of body size and interior space
Thanks to the highly flexible expandability of the MQB A2 platform and the advanced short overhanging shaft design, Detective has subverted the positive correlation between the length of the body and the internal space in the traditional design, which perfectly presents the best body length and interior space. The golden ratio.
 The "Golden Structure Guidelines" is a forward-looking concept that FAW-Volkswagen has deepened its insight into consumer pain points and once again introduced the trend of car design. At present, what consumers really need is not the size of the body, but the space inside the car. Therefore, TAYRON no longer blindly lengthens the body, but chooses the appropriate body length on the basis of occupying as little social space resources as possible, and with the innovative design of short suspension long shaft and front and rear adjustable, to maximize the interior space. Fully meet the real needs of consumers.

Golden Structure Guidelines" and "Golden Power Combination" and "Golden Body Curve" together constitute FAW-Volkswagen "Gold Series", representing FAW-Volkswagen's spirit of continuous exploration and innovation in the field of automotive design, is FAW-Volkswagen" The best embodiment of the brand up.
The same level of joint venture mass production SUV only achieves L2 level intelligent driving
With the development of the trend of Internet of Vehicles and car sharing, various auto manufacturers have accelerated their layout in the field of intelligent driving. The TJA traffic congestion assist system carried by the Discovery River is equipped with the ACC3.0 adaptive cruise system and the Lane Assist lane keeping function, enabling the vehicle to achieve automatic follow-up and lane keeping in low-speed driving conditions in traffic jams. Not only can it effectively alleviate driving fatigue, but it will further enhance the safety level of the vehicle. It can be said that the exploration of Yue is the only model that achieves L2 level intelligent driving assistance in the same-level joint venture mass production SUV.

In addition, the exploration of Yue also has a number of outstanding front-end technology configuration, such as PLA3.0 intelligent parking assist system, Active Info Display full LCD digital instrument, up to 18 atmosphere lights and trunk electric start function and other equipment, let Owners enjoy a more enjoyable driving experience while enjoying the pleasure of driving.
Extreme off-road control Adapt to the full scene, cope with multiple road conditions
In terms of power, Detective uses Volkswagen's most advanced "TSI+DSG" gold power combination, equipped with EA888 2.0T turbocharged engine, matched with DQ500 seven-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, both power and fuel economy are beyond the same level.
In addition, the exploration of Yue is equipped with the Volkswagen 4MOTION intelligent four-wheel drive system, BorgWarner's fifth-generation central differential's efficient control and professional SUV chassis tuning technology, not only has superior control performance beyond the same level, but also has a powerful explosive power. In addition, the exploration of the Yue also provides a two-wheel drive, four-wheel drive version, the powertrain is more widely matched, bringing the ultimate control experience to more users.
The personality of the car is like the personality. Exploring the "Best Partner" of Yue Cheng's new middle class.
At present, the rise of the new middle class, which is dominated by the post-80s and post-90s, is becoming the mainstay of the multi-consumer society and has become a pioneering force in leading China's automobile consumption trend. They are a generation that grew up along with the Internet wave. It is a generation with ambition, perseverance, courage and courage. They are leaders of "powerfulness", a veritable "senior layer", and an ideal "action school."

Among the brand genes of Yanyue, it also contains rich spiritual connotations such as leadership, pioneering, responsibility and conquest. In this regard, Sun Huibin, executive deputy general manager of the FAW-Volkswagen Sales Co., Ltd. and executive director of Volkswagen Brands, said: "As a benchmark for the value of the new generation of high-end mid-size SUVs, FAW-Volkswagen Discovery is dedicated to the new middle class and fully fits them. The spirit of courage to climb and dare to conquer, and strive to let this group of people find the greatest life fun in the journey of exploration and become the 'best partner' on their way to life."

Not only that, FAW-Volkswagen will open the "Landscape China - Exploring Yue Ji" in the name of "Exploring Yue", exploring China's profound mountain culture and ancient civilization, and discovering the unknown beauty and human history. It can be said that accompanying the new middle class to realize the dream of life, marking the era that belongs to them, is the initial heart of the exploration of Yue.

In the future, FAW-Volkswagen will also use the exploration of Yue as the core and foothold to comprehensively lay out the matrix of high-end medium-sized SUV products, including the exploration of R-Line models, PHEV SUV models and COUPE SUV models, to better meet the diversification of consumers. Personalized car demand.

At the press conference, Mr. Dong also announced that Tangyue will be listed in Chengdu on October 22. We look forward to its arrival, and even more reason to believe that under the guidance of FAW-Volkswagen's brand concept of “creating and enjoying high quality”, explorer will lead the development of China's SUV with its strong product strength and pioneering brand style. The trend has become the benchmark for the value of the new generation of high-end mid-size SUVs!

Modified Jetta breaks the speed record in its class in the USA with 338 km/h

September 19, 2018 0


  •  Jetta proves its potential on the legendary Bonneville Salt Flats in the USA
  •  The record-breaking Jetta is powered by a modified TSI engine with a power of 608 PS 
  •  After the success of the I.D. R Pikes Peak, Volkswagen has now set a third record within a very short time with the Jetta 


Wolfsburg (D) / Herndon (USA) – Volkswagen of America has demonstrated the potential of the new Jetta at the Bonneville Salt Flats in the USA. Here a specially equipped Jetta broke the previous world speed record of its class for land vehicles with 338 km/h. Only a few weeks after the success of the electrically powered I.D R Pikes Peak at the “Race To The Clouds” in the Rocky Mountains and at Goodwood Hill Climb in the UK, Volkswagen has secured its third record.

A four-cylinder turbo engine (TSI) from the EA888 series was responsible for the powerful propulsion of the new Jetta1. This engine is also used in other sporty Volkswagen models such as the Golf GTI Performance2 (180 kW / 245 PS). For the record-breaking rides, the power of the sports car engine was increased to 447 kW / 608 PS (at 8,500 rpm). Volkswagen engineers used new connecting rods, pistons, valves and camshafts as well as a larger turbocharger and a new exhaust system. The standard cylinder block and crankshaft remained unchanged.

The powerful TSI engine had an easy time with the new Jetta, as this Volkswagen is extremely aerodynamic. Thanks to a drag coefficient of 0.27, the Jetta raced with particularly low resistance through the dry air at Bonneville Salt Flats in the US state of Utah. It broke the previous record of 335.50 km/h (208.47 mph) with exactly 338.15 km/h (210.16 mph) in the BGC/G class of the Southern California Timing Association.

“The achievement of this speed in Bonneville proves the quality, durability, performance and efficiency of Volkswagen TSI engines and the aerodynamic performance of the new Jetta,” says Hinrich J. Woebcken, President and CEO of Volkswagen of America. Woebcken continues: “This record highlights the sporty qualities of our Jetta. It also provides a look into the future of the sedan, as we are using a modified version of the EA888 in the record-breaking car. This powerful TSI will also be used in the new Jetta GLI in the future.”

Achieving speeds of well over 300 km/h on the Salt Flats places special demands on the vehicle. The recording-breaking Jetta therefore features technical details such as a lowered chassis, special wheels and tyres for the Salt Flats, a limited slip differential for optimum traction and two brake parachutes at the rear. The interior was also completely cleared out. Only the controls for driving, a bucket seat with racing belts, a stable rollover cage and a fire extinguishing system remained.

The Jetta was built by Volkswagen of America together with the technicians of THR Manufacturing in Ventura, California (USA), who specialise in record-breaking driving of this type. The Salt Flats veteran Scott Goetz was at the wheel of the Volkswagen. “It was a great experience driving this car on the Salt Flats. Even at top speed, the Jetta provided a safe driving experience and I'm very happy we broke the record.”

Volkswagen announces Beetle Final Edition for 2019

September 14, 2018 0


Special models celebrate Beetle’s rich heritage as third-generation is set to end production in 2019
Herndon, VA (September 13, 2018) — Volkswagen of America, Inc. announced today that it will end production of the iconic Beetle in 2019. To celebrate the Beetle’s rich heritage, two special models will join the lineup for its last model year—Final Edition SE and Final Edition SEL.

“The loss of the Beetle after three generations, over nearly seven decades, will evoke a host of emotions from the Beetle’s many devoted fans,” said Hinrich J. Woebcken, President and CEO, Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. “As we move to being a full-line, family-focused automaker in the U.S. and ramp up our electrification strategy with the MEB platform, there are no immediate plans to replace it. But as we have seen with the I.D. BUZZ—which is the modern and practical interpretation of the legendary Bus—I would also say, ‘Never say never.’ We’re excited to kick off a year of celebrating one of the true icons of the automotive world, with a series of events that will culminate in the end of production in Puebla in July 2019.”
Available in coupe and convertible body styles, the Final Edition models include exclusive equipment and unique upscale décor elements designed to send the Beetle off in style. Models also draw inspiration from the first-generation Beetle’s final run in Mexico, where the vehicle is assembled.
The 2003 Última Edición (last edition) models were only available in two colors—beige and light blue. Today’s Final Edition models will feature two unique colors: Safari Uni—a reinvention of Harvest Moon Beige, a color from the New Beetle—and Stonewashed Blue, a nod to the 1970 Jeans Bug and most recently seen on the 2016 Beetle Denim. Final Edition models are also available in Pure White, Deep Black Pearl, and Platinum Grey. Convertible Final Edition SEL models in every exterior color except Safari Uni are available with a unique Brown soft top.
Final Edition coupe models feature standard chrome treatments like the Última Edición models, in addition to body-color side mirrors, heated washer nozzles (all standard features across the Beetle Convertible lineup), as well as a sunroof. Final Edition SEL models are equipped with Bi-Xenon® headlights with LED Daytime Running Lights (DRLs), LED taillights, and fog lights. All Final Edition models replace the typical “Turbo” badge on the tailgate with a “Beetle” badge.
Unique wheels complete the exterior transformation of Beetle Final Edition models. Final Edition SE models feature 17-inch aluminum-alloy wheels with a 15-spoke design. Final Edition SEL models are shod with 18-inch white aluminum-alloy wheels in a disc design that is reminiscent of the Última Edición’s body-colored steel wheels fitted with chrome hubcaps and whitewall tires.
Inside, all Final Edition models are equipped with standard KESSY® keyless access with push-button start, a leather-wrapped multi-function steering wheel with unique “Beetle” clip, stainless steel pedal caps, Climatronic® automatic climate control, gloss black center console, a unique Safari Uni color dashpad with the classic kaeferfach glovebox or “Beetle bin” that harkens to the color-matched interior treatments in the Última Edición, and three-color ambient lighting. Final Edition SE models feature cloth and leatherette rhombus-pattern seats, while SEL models offer standard diamond-stitched leather seating surfaces.
Final Edition SE models feature a Composition Media infotainment unit with a 6.3-inch capacitive touchscreen display, Bluetooth® technology for compatible devices, USB multimedia port, SiriusXM® radio (three-month trial subscription), Voice Control, and Volkswagen Car-Net® App-Connect smartphone integration. Final Edition SEL models upgrade to Discover Media infotainment with navigation, Car-Net Security & Service, and Guide & Inform, as well as Fender® Premium Audio.
All 2019 Beetle models, both convertible and coupe, are powered a 2.0 liter TSI® engine that puts out 174 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. All models are paired with a six-speed automatic transmission and the EPA-estimated fuel economy rating is 26 mpg city, 33 mpg highway and 29 mpg combined.
To meet the demands of American drivers, all Beetle Final Edition models offer driver-assistance technology. SE models include standard Blind Spot Monitor Rear Traffic Alert. Final Edition SEL models add standard front and rear Park Distance Control.
Pricing for the 2019 Beetle Final Edition coupe starts at $23,045 for SE models and $25,995 for SEL models. Beetle Convertible Final Edition pricing starts at $27,295 for SE models and $29,995 for SEL models. The destination charge for all Beetle models is an additional $895.

SAIC Volkswagen MPV spied! - Is this the next Sharan / Routan?

September 07, 2018 0
SAIC Volkswagen MPV spied testing in China!
This is the first public exposure of the new SAIC Volkswagen MQB based Minivan / MPV to compete with the likes of the SAIC GM Buick GL8 and Chrysler Pacifica people movers. It can be seen testing with the SAIC Volkswagen T-Cross.

We at VWNEWSBLOG suspect this is the 3rd generation of the Sharan nameplate. Which could be about to go to China for production. As it is likely the largest market for people movers since the adoption of the SUV craze has swept the globe and dwindled other markets such as sedans, coupe and cabriolets etc.

We also like to speculate this could potentially be an option for the North American Region as a Minivan option. The minivan option is missing from the North American market. VW has stated in the past that it strongly believes that the Minivan market may pick up again eventually. This can be seen with the I.D. Buzz which will go in to production from 2022.

Also with strong ties between VW NAR and SAIC Volkswagen which both markets share Passat sedans, Tiguan SUVs, Teramont/Atlas SUVs & Tharu/Tarek SUVs. Could this model go to Chattanooga?

Time will tell - stay tuned for the latest as it comes to hand.

The new T-Cross – "I am cool": Volkswagen designers survey the world of compact SUVs

August 31, 2018 0


The countdown for the launch of the new T-Cross has started: The world première of the most compact Volkswagen SUV ever will be celebrated in autumn. The slogan "I am more" will accompany the launch in spring 2019.
It stands for the four property fields "I am practical", "I am cool", "I am intuitive" and "I am safe". With a trailer for "I am cool", Volkswagen is now showing how the T-Cross designers have surveyed the world again and developed a new, urban generation of the Sport Utility Vehicle.

Exterior example: the T-Cross has a deliberately charismatic and masculine design. The front end, with its bonnet and headlights integrated outside the wide radiator grille, is a dominant design feature. At the side, a sharply cut character line divides the areas. It forms a powerful shoulder section and merges into a new design element at the rear: the reflector strip running across and bordered by black trim.


Colour and trim example: two-colour dash pads link the fresh, sporty style of the interior and the twelve colours of the exterior. The new T-Cross will also be available in different bi-colour paintwork versions as an option when it is launched next year.

Interior example: at an early stage of development, the designers immersed themselves in the spacious interior – virtually using augmented reality. They tested the ergonomics as well as the ambience and experienced the T-Cross of tomorrow live today in order to perfect it further. At the same time, they got a feeling for what it will be like for the first customers when their songs from the smartphone media library or streaming services resound through the interior of the new SUV via the "beats" sound system.

The new T-Cross – “I am practical”: Small SUV stands out with high level of variability

August 14, 2018 0


Wolfsburg (D) – It is Volkswagen’s smallest SUV and yet it has what it takes to become a great one: the new T-Cross1. It is still under wraps, but the development to series production is running at full speed. The world première will take place this autumn and the launch will follow in spring 2019. Until then, Volkswagen will give more and more details about the new small but great SUV. Just like now with the clip in which professional players from the “Grizzlys Wolfsburg” ice hockey team throw all their equipment into the T-Cross which easily fits the equipment plus players.
“I am more” – this is the slogan for the introduction of the T-Cross. This slogan reflects the philosophy behind the SUV: to offer more than others. But without costing more. The slogan is clustered in four characteristic areas of the T-Cross: “I am practical” – more space and variability; “I am cool” – masculine design and maximum individuality; “I am intuitive“ – digital and connected; “I am safe” – one of the safest cars in its class. Naturally the professionals of “Grizzlys Wolfsburg” address the topic "I am practical". Because they need space. A lot of space. And the new T-Cross provides this. 

The modular transverse matrix, or MQB for short, is one of the reasons for this. This is the technical basis of the T-Cross. The front axle moves far to the front, thereby lengthening the wheelbase, creating more space in the interior and increasing the available stowage space. The latter is also variable: Depending on the situation, the rear seat bench can be adjusted lengthwise as standard. For more legroom or - as in the case of “Grizzlys Wolfsburg” - for more space in the luggage compartment (385 to 455 litres). The maximum cargo volume represents the leading value in the segment. The back of the rear seat can also be divided (60:40) or completely folded down. This creates a flat loading area and thus even more space (1,281 litres) for the ice hockey equipment or bikes and boards. The fold-down front passenger seat backrest offers additional flexibility. 

The high seating position in the T-Cross is typical for an SUV: 597 mm at the front and 652 mm at the three seats at the rear; the elevated view from the T-Cross is realised via higher ground clearance and the seat system. Big guys like the two professionals from “Grizzly Wolfsburg” in the clip for the T-Cross also appreciate the sitting position: the American Jeff Likens (32) and the German Armin Wurm (29). Jeff was already world champion with the U20 team of the USA; since 2015 he is the deputy captain of the Wolfsburg team. Armin is one of the best defensive specialists in the country; he defends the “Grizzlys Wolfsburg” goal. The professional from Lower Saxony not only plays for the first division team from the German motor city, but also for the German national ice hockey team. One thing is certain: Jeff and Armin are very impressed with the versatility of the cargo hold concept in the T-Cross. It is not unlikely that the new Volkswagen will increasingly appear in front of the “Wolfsburg Ice Arena” from next spring - no longer under wraps, of course.
