Volkswagen intends to create a budget class car within the next year. Most likely, it will be a new car brand that the German automaker will produce in China with one of its partners..
The head of the research department of the German concern Hans-Jakob Nesser, in an interview with Autocar magazine, said that the affordable car will be presented until next fall. He noted that, despite the budget of the model, the car will meet all the requirements that VW makes for the safety, comfort and handling of its cars. Future owners of «cheap» Volkswagen need to buy an iphone 5, since the cars are unlikely to have a good multimedia system or a navigator, although all German quality standards will be observed in it..
A VW spokesman added that the car will be produced as long as it is profitable. Therefore, the concern is still deciding the issue of its price. It is assumed that sedans, station wagons and compact vans will be produced under the new brand..
