Editor's Review

In the automotive market for the year; the VW's ID family achieved 130222 sales in total. The increase as compared to the previous year being up by 23.8 percent. Being able to make its mark, VW has secured a top spot over brands on overseas pure driven car sales markets and this is largely thanks to the ID.3 Smart Line which comes back every single year, constantly refining features with updates in order that meet customer needs well.

It's interesting to note how while some adjustments might be made such as price adjustments in terms of cost; VW also seems keenly focused on retaining profitability which adds a good perspective for long term market positioning under strong brand name.
