Shanghai Volkswagen officially launched its local hatchback model Gran Lavida on June 29 in Wanning city, Hainan province, and added a wagon-like model to the company's Lavida series.
At 4,454 mm in length, the car is one of the largest in the compact category, and comes close to the average full-size car. The 2,610 mm wheelbase ensures a roomy rear comfort space, and as everyone can judge from its wagon-like appearance, a large trunk of 412 liters offers huge loading capabilities.
