What is the Volkswagen Lavida?
The Lavida is a compact four-door saloon developed by SAIC Volkswagen for China. Its conventional boot and practical cabin make it a familiar family-car shape in Volkswagen’s Chinese range. The third generation went on sale in 2018, continuing the model’s role in the local lineup.
The third generation, Typ 0C, began in 2018 and continues today. Volkswagen’s Chinese range is shaped in part through its partnership with SAIC, its first Chinese joint venture, established in Shanghai in 1984.
