The name has been chosen, and Kaili is the name of FAW-Volkswagen Automotive’s JV brand for the Chinese market. According to reports, the first Kaili vehicle on the cards is an electric vehicle, this being based on the production plan submitted to China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. No details have yet been disclosed about the EV.
Kaili is the latest sub-brand to emerge for the Chinese market, which has seen a number of new names coming about of late – SAIC-GM-Wuling Automobile recently launched its Baojun brand’s first offering, the 630 sedan, while Honda’s JV concern, Guangqi Honda Automobile, has Li Nian, of which the Everus concept compact car – riding on a Fit platform – was shown recently.
Elsewhere, there’s the Venucia, which belongs to Dongfeng Nissan Passenger Vehicle. It’s all in line with Beijing’s call to encourage global automakers to allow their JVs to create new brands.
Hopefully, along the way, Kaili won’t be looking to name one of its models the Minok. Now that would be a really, really bad one!
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.

Thanks for the news link bro, it’s really an interesting news.
Anyway, from that piece of news just now if Proton should not be blamed for the excessive, biased car taxation which results in uncompetitive and unfair prices, then who else should take the blame? The government? Other carmakers? Or rather Mahathir himself? Looks like another “bangau oh bangau” episode here.
what’s wrong with minok name? who’s kaili minok? mayb i m too young, old folks might know who minok huh?
LOL!!!
