About China's Coolest Cars
Here we have a black Volkswagen Santana GLi sedan with black 京A license plates. I saw this great old Volkswagen in the Chinese capital Beijing in the summer of 2018. It was in good shape, clearly taken care of, with a clean body and the original 7-spoke alloy wheels. It is a time capsule, in a way.

Check out this Volkswagen Touareg 3.0 TDI in central Beijing in 2014. The big SUV has a wild body kit and green headlight lenses. It also has darkened windows, side steps, and strangely wide wheels.

Here we have a wondrous white Volkswagen Santana Variant, seen in the Chinese capital Beijing in the summer of 2023. The good Santana was in perfect shape, it looked almost like new, with a super clean body and the original alloy wheels.

This is a Jetta VS7, a mid-size crossover SUV that is only sold in China. It is a nice-looking car, but not overly exciting, perhaps a bit boring. The car that I met was painted in a color called (translated) Aromatherapy Ash.

A Volkswagen Passat R36 Variant, seen on the Fifth Ring Road in Beijing in 2016. The speedy wagon was in super shape, painted in metallic gray with darkened windows and standing on gray multispoke alloy wheels. But the coolest detail is the matching 京N·QR360 license plate.

A pretty white Volkswagen Santana 2000 GSI sedan, seen in the north of the Chinese capital Beijing in November 2017. The good Volkswagen was painted in a classy shade of white with slightly darkened windows. Even in 2017, the Santana 2000 was fast becoming a rare car. This one was in need of some love but in a great overall shape.

More car wrapping in China on this Saturday night! We continue with a Volkswagen Golf GTI, seen in Beijing in 2013. The good Golf was reworked to a rather high level; with a pink wrap, a black wrap, darkened windows, extra large tires, lowered suspension, darkened headlight visors, pink stripes in the black grille, a pink GTI badge in that grille, and a black Volkswagen logo. Lot of work went into this one!
Here we have a Volkswagen Sagitar sedan, seen in the far east of Beijing in 2018. The Sagaitar is normally not a significant sedan but this one is thanks to its 京M·68888 license plate.

Look at this! A very speedy Volkswagen Jetta, seen somewhere in Hebei Province in 2011. The good Jetta was sexed up to the max with a VW windshield sticker, lowered suspension, an all-around body kit, modified bumpers & grille & headlights, with a partially black hood and darkened windows and extra wide tires with shiny sporty wheels.
