This integration will include two BEVs and two PHEVs, accelerating the company’s shift towards intelligent and electrified mobility.
Furthermore, a new model based on Volkswagen’s MEB platform will undergo a comprehensive smart upgrade through CEA integration. In the mid-size vehicle segment, FAW-VW is gearing up to launch two BEV models alongside their REEV counterparts, built on Volkswagen’s next-generation platforms to cater to consumers looking for long-range capabilities and an enhanced driving experience.
The JETTA brand is also poised to make its mark in the entry-level BEV market with the debut of its first all-electric vehicle model in 2026.
