China Car Times learned today that VW China are planning to put the VW Neeza wagon-cum-SUV into production early next year. The super sexy Neeza was designed in China, for China. VW are obviously staking a lot in the Chinese market, usually China gets the old designs that the rest of the world doesnt want any more, but in recent years we’ve been seeing that trend reverse, even to the point where Chinese designed and made cars are looking better than their Euro or Yank counterparts, yes, we’re thinking of the Buick Lacrosse, we hate to say it, but the American version is nothing on the Chinese one. There are several cars in China that have both an ‘American edition’ and an ‘Oriental Edition’ usually the Oriental edition is much nicer, but we will talk about these in another article.

The Neeza may look like the Audi Q7, but it is actually quite a bit smaller in design, almost 23 inches shorter so it puts more along the lines of the up and coming Audi Q5. The coolest feature is clearly the suicide doors. Engine wise, we’re unsure, but got this quote from Edmunds.com

Several engines are under discussion for the new car, from the 170-horsepower 1.4-liter inline four-cylinder Twincharger used in the Golf GT all the way up to the 300-hp 3.6-liter V6 of the new Passat R36.

1.4 and putting out 170BHP. Sign us up, we’ll have one!
