The Lavida is VW’s Buick Excelle fighter, its sitting on the Audi A4 platform (codenamed, PQ34, this is also shared with the Audi TT, and various other Audi/VW models) which gives it a fighting stance, and almost 100mm longer than the original VW Bora. The interior is expected to be high end, almost Phateon like, which earned the Lavida the name ‘Mini Phaeton‘ prior to its launch! This is one of the most expected cars at the Beijing Car Show, all eyes will be on VW’s stand next week!

I thought this car was due to go on sale on the 20th April? At least I think that’s what the adverts around Shanghai say.

Mark,

Was in Shanghai all weekend. MANY adverts for the Livida around Shanghai - subway, elevated roads, etc etc. Seem to be really pushing it.

I’ve heard conflicting info about this model’s platform. Is it on VW’s PQ34 (Golf IV/Bora) platform or on Audi’s 8E (last-generation A4) platform? Anyone?
