FAW-Volkswagen Celebrates Production of 4.3 Millionth Sagitar Vehicle

On July 9, FAW-Volkswagen held a grand ceremony in Chengdu to celebrate the rollout of its 4.3 millionth Sagitar vehicle. With the official debut of the latest model in the Sagitar family—the all-new Sagitar L—it aims to lead the A+ sedan market into a new era, offering Chinese consumers a smarter, more personalized, and warmer automotive lifestyle. Since entering the Chinese market in 2006, the Sagitar has successfully created a new blue ocean in the A+ sedan segment, thanks to its authentic German lineage, exquisite manufacturing craftsmanship, and leading-edge technology. Over its 19-year development, Sagitar has reached several milestone moments that clearly outline the brand's evolution. In 2008, the launch of the Sagitar Champion Edition showcased the brand's sporty genes; the 2012 model adopted a new Bauhaus design philosophy, perfectly blending romanticism with modernism. That same year, the Sagitar Blue Drive model elevated energy conservation and environmental protection to new heights. In 2013, the high-performance Sagitar GLI was introduced to further meet the driving enjoyment of younger customers. Entering a new era, the Sagitar continues to iterate and upgrade. In 2019, the long-wheelbase version was launched, setting a new standard for family travel with its spacious interior. In 2022, the model was renewed with a focus on the needs of enterprising youth, continuously refreshing consumer perceptions of family sedans. Now, the all-new Sagitar L promises an exceptional travel experience that surpasses its class through youthful design aesthetics, comprehensive evolution of smart technology, reliable German quality, and outstanding power control. The successful production of the 4.3 millionth vehicle demonstrates the broad recognition of its exceptional quality in the market. Whether it's the ultra-high-strength safety assurance from laser-welded bodywork or the excellent handling experience provided by the precisely calibrated chassis system, the Sagitar continues to embody truly German quality with its superior product strength. The all-new Sagitar L inherits this commitment to quality, having undergone rigorous testing far exceeding industry standards to ensure long-term reliability. This meticulous attention to quality goes hand in hand with deep integration of smart technology. The new vehicle is equipped with a Qualcomm 8155 chip for smoother system operation and faster response times. The new voice assistant uses iFlytek's end-cloud hybrid voice solution, integrating core capabilities of voice recognition, semantic understanding, and voice synthesis, supporting interactions in Mandarin, Sichuan dialect, and Cantonese. Additionally, the new car features enhanced driving assistance and an IPA parking assist system, further catering to consumer needs and creating a more effortless and convenient driving experience. The achievement of 4.3 million vehicles is not only a significant milestone in the development of the Sagitar brand but also a vivid reflection of the maturation of the Chinese automotive market. From pioneering the A+ sedan market to leading the continuous evolution of niche segments, the Sagitar has witnessed profound changes in Chinese family travel over 19 years of perseverance and innovation, becoming an essential part of countless consumers' beautiful lives. Now, standing at the new starting point of 4.3 million vehicles, the all-new Sagitar L will redefine the value benchmark of A+ sedans with its fully upgraded product strength.
