Three-door hatchbacks are losing popularity among motorists
The third generation of hatchback Volkswagen Scirocco created on the basis of another “fifth” Golf and going since 2008.
The Autoeuropa plant in Portugal in this month will gather recent copies of stylish models.
First, the demand for Volkswagen Scirocco pleased the management of the company annually sold for 50 thousand pieces. But in the future the results are not pleasing, and it was decided not to develop a model of the fourth generation. And in General, three-door hatchbacks are losing popularity, and then there’s the fines for diesel scandal contributed. Moreover, the fast Scirocco R with 280 HP engine was discontinued in March of this year.
Portuguese factory in addition to Volkswagen Scirocco collects minivans Volkswagen Sharan and Seat Alhambra, which differ essentially only a logos. And the hatchback on the Assembly line is created on the basis of Polo compact crossover Volkswagen T-Roc. His debut will take place in a couple of weeks and immediately begin production. And the factory happy, because the crossover will probably be much more popular than the outdated niche sporting hatchback, the company will not be idle, and the workers definitely will keep their seats.
The second generation Volkswagen New Beetle, produced in 2011, is also under threat. Production will stop next year.
