The company has already informed dealers of the production suspension and will start producing the popular Tiguan that it does not have enough in stock to meet the market demand at present.
With regard to whether the existing capacity of Tiguan can meet the growing demand in the Chinese market and whether or not to resume production of the Skoda Superb, Shanghai Volkswagen said it is hard to say for now.
While on the notice sent to its dealers, Shanghai Volkswagen said it will temporarily stop production of the Skoda Superb starting September and dealers may manage the stock properly.
The company currently has 13 dealerships in Beijing, each having an inventory of 50 vehicles. When asked whether the car's price would be raised, the dealers said it probably won't help boost sales.
