Shanghai Volkswagen has unveiled its new Lavida at Beijing’s Auto China 2012 today.

The original Lavida, which was mainly designed by its Chinese partner, was launched in June 2008 and has proved popular in China’s A-segment, with 700,000 units being sold by the beginning of 2012. This new car, which is similar to the Passat, has a new, sharper body and features such safety equipment as ABS and ESP as standard. Four equipment lines and three engine options will be available when it goes on sale later this year.
