Volkswagen to make SUV models of Seat and Skoda in Serbia?

After the announcement that German Volkswagen will build a factory in Serbia, Novosti writes that it is becoming more certain that the production of SUV vehicles from Skoda's and Seat's family of products will be organized at the new facilities.

The models in question are Skoda Karoq and Seat Ateca. The production of these models will be moved to Serbia from the Czech municipality of Kvasiny, which will instead take over the production of VW Passat.

That this is a big rearrangement within the German car giant is also proven by the fact that the factories in Emden and Hanover, where Passat has been assembled so far, will specialize in electric models. In addition to Karoq and Ateca, the future factory in Serbia will produce another three models.

Still, as the daily writes, the management of the German group still needs to definitively confirm the plan to invest EUR 1.4 billion in Serbia, although, as Novosti's sources claim, this is a mere formality. The first models might leave the facility in Serbia in 2023.
