New SUV from Volkswagen in Brazil: Everything You Need to Know About the Launch in 2025

Volkswagen is preparing to launch a new compact SUV in 2025 in Brazil, which aims to compete with models such as the Fiat Pulse and likely the Renault Kardian. This launch is part of the R$ 16 billion investment announced for the Brazilian market between 2022 and 2028. The SUV will be produced in Taubaté (SP), alongside the Polo Track, according to the website Uol.

Positioning and Engine of the New SUV from Volkswagen in Brazil

This new SUV from Volkswagen will be positioned below the coupe Nivus and is expected to be equipped with the 1.0 MPI engine with 84 hp from the Polo Track, or the 1.0 TSi engine with 116 hp from the Polo in the higher versions.

Built on the MQB platform, the new SUV aims to occupy a space not yet explored by Volkswagen. The company aims to offer a true sports utility vehicle, distinguishing itself from projects that merely have a “SUV look,” such as the Argo Trekking or HB20X, which did not have good acceptance among the discerning consumers in this segment.

Extension of the MQB for Hybrids

The CEO of Volkswagen Brazil, Ciro Possobom, recently highlighted an extension of the MQB platform for hybrid models, indicating that the company is investing in more sustainable technologies for the future.

Recent information indicates the imminent production of this compact SUV. The Taubaté City Hall announced R$ 1 billion for the production of the new Gol, but Volkswagen denied this news, labeling it as fake news. Furthermore, in November 2023, news hinted at the production of this compact SUV by Volkswagen.

Agreement and Production of the New SUV from Volkswagen in Brazil

On the Taubaté City Hall website, a note informs about an agreement between metalworkers and the German company for the creation of 137 jobs in Brazil starting in January 2024, aimed at the production of this new compact SUV, expected to be launched in 2025, reinforcing Taubaté as an automotive hub.

Volkswagen in Brazil

Volkswagen is one of the main automobile manufacturers in Brazil, with a long history in the country. The company began its operations in Brazil in 1953 and has since been a significant presence in the national automotive market.

Over the years, Volkswagen has launched various models that have become popular among Brazilians, such as the Beetle, the Gol, and the Polo. The company also has a strong presence in the production of commercial vehicles, such as vans and trucks.

In addition to manufacturing vehicles, Volkswagen has invested in more sustainable technologies, such as electric and hybrid vehicles. The company is also involved in research and development projects to improve energy efficiency and reduce emissions from its vehicles.
