Successful Magotan and Golf sales help FAW-VW set new sales record

Gasgoo.com (Shanghai March 1) - FAW-Volkswagen reported January sales of 72,567 vehicles, setting a new monthly sales record for the Jilin-based joint venture, the Beijing Morning Post reported today.

Among its lineup, FAW-VW's Magotan, Chinese version of the PQ46 Passat, managed to get a sales result of 8,202 units. The figures mark a huge jump for the car, which has been on the domestic market for three years. Meanwhile, the Golf sold 6,301, near doubling its sales from last year. It's clear that FAW-VW is putting a lot of effort behind the award-nominated compact, which comes in new turbocharged 1.4L TSI mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox or naturally aspirated 1.6L mated to 7-speed DSG dual clutch configurations, much to the praise of Golf fans throughout the country.
