Volkswagen AG and long-standing partner FAW Group will launch 11 new models exclusively for China as the German carmaker seeks to shore up its declining share of the world’s biggest auto market.
The lineup includes six electric vehicles, two plug-in hybrids and two range-extended EVs under the Volkswagen brand, which will be introduced to China starting in 2026, it said in a statement on Monday that details a new strategic agreement between the companies. The first electric model of the Jetta brand will be released next year to tap into rising demand for EVs, with a focus on the entry-level market, it said.
