Recently, spy photos of the compact sedan SAIC Volkswagen Lavida Pro appeared on the web, showing its similarity to the Passat Pro model.

The car will be available in two front panel options. The classic version is equipped with a chrome radiator grille with transverse elements that create a strict style, while the «starry sky» option stands out with a different grille, Lingmou LED headlights, a through LED strip, and a glowing logo.

The new Lavida Pro features hidden door handles and 15, 16, or 17-inch wheels. The rear of the body is complemented by through LED lights in the shape of wings and a hidden exhaust system.

The car's dimensions are 4720 mm in length, 1806 mm in width, 1482 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2688 mm.

The Lavida Pro will offer two engines: a 1.5-liter turbocharged one with 160 hp and a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated one with 110 hp.
