At this year’s Auto Shanghai (23 April to 2 May), VW’s three Chinese joint ventures will present three electric concept cars: an electric notchback model from FAW-Volkswagen; an electric SUV in the B segment with extended range due to range-extender technology (EREV) from SAIC VOLKSWAGEN; and an all-electric SUV from Volkswagen Anhui.

All three concept cars embody Volkswagen’s new China DNA both in terms of technology and design and in relation to development time, which has been cut by more than 30%.

The concept cars to be unveiled in Shanghai all belong to the group of new energy vehicles (NEVs). In China, this category includes all-electric vehicles, as well as models with plug-in hybrid and range extender drives. In the group of NEVs alone, Volkswagen will launch more than 20 models by 2027.

The Auto Shanghai trade fair has been held every two years since 1985, alternating with Auto China in Beijing. They are the biggest motor shows in the world.
