Today we have our very own spy shots. I met this red Volkswagen Sagitar GLI this morning on my way to work in Beijing, parked in front of a new Volkswagen Jetta. The Sagitar GLI is a sporty version of the China-made Sagitar sedan, which is based on the American Volkswagen Jetta. The Sagitar GLI will debut on the Shanghai Auto Show in April, but we got it first!

The Sagitar GLI gets the same engine as the China-made Volkswagen Golf GTI; a 2.0 TSI with 200hp and 280nm. The GLI loox faster with a sporty front bumper, GLI-badges and speedy 5-spoke alloys.

The Sagitar is made in China by the FAW-Volkswagen joint venture. Price of the standard car starts at 101.800 yuan and ends at 185.800 yuan. Engines: 1.6, 1.4 TSI, and 1.8 TSI. Price for the Sagitar GLI will start just under 200.000 yuan.
