Volkswagen Bora (PQ34L/New Bora). 2008 to date (prod. n/a). 4-door sedan. F/F, 1390, 1598, 1984 cm³ (I4 DOHC). Second of VW China’s débutantes, this time produced with joint-venture partner FAW. Released around the same time as Volkswagen Lavida, but with more formal, upright appearance. Usually marketed as New Bora, though adjective never appeared on badging. Longer wheelbase than Volkswagen Jetta V, leading to capacious interior, but sharing platform with the earlier Volkswagen Bora (1J). Control systems are up-to-date, however, closer to the PQ35, hence the PQ34L designation. Two-litre initially, but replaced in 2010 by turbocharged 1·4 developing 96 kW.
