The Volkswagen NMC is a sporty CC model based on the Volkswagen MQB platform, the same platform that underpins the Volkswagen Golf 7. The NMC is developed to attack the mighty popular Mercedes-Benz CLA. The NMC will be manufactured in China by the Shanghai-Volkswagen joint venture. Power will come from 1.4 TSI and 2.0 TSI four-cylinder petrol engines, both mated to a seven-speed DSG. The NMC will be launched on the China car market in early 2015, price will start around 180.000 yuan or 29.000 USD.
