Through a strong ‘In China, for China’ approach, the Group set the course for accelerated technical localization, as well as faster production and development, to ensure it continues to offer tailor made products in China now and in the future. The transformation is well underway, and the market-wide product offensive with a focus on smart, connected vehicles tailored to Chinese consumers is accelerating to ‘China speed’.

The new model combines higher performance with fully improved luxury and comfort equipment, aiming to meet the needs of Chinese consumers for a more powerful and practical sports car. The all-electric Macan will also make its China debut. With its characteristic Porsche performance, progressive yet timeless design, long-distance range and high everyday practicality, the all-electric Macan is the perfect interpretation of an all-electric luxury sports SUV.

Under its ‘In China, for China’ strategy, the Volkswagen Group is accelerating its development to ‘China speed’. It is strengthening its local development capacities for e-mobility, digitalization and autonomous driving and accelerating its decision-making and development processes in the region
