Volkswagen AG may expand production of a mid-sized sedan designed for U.S. customers to China in a bid to win buyers in the world’s biggest auto market.
The model, which will be priced at about $20,000, will be built to begin with at VW’s new plant in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and sold in the U.S. in the second half of 2011.
“We will see demand for this car growing in other countries such as China,” said Ulrich Hackenberg, head of Volkswagen’s brand development, in an interview. “Our production pattern allows us to transfer vehicles from one plant to another at relatively low effort.”
