- Volkswagen, that already produces the Tiguan SUV (segment C) in Wolfsburg, will in the future assemble some of the next generation Tiguan in its Hanover plant (about 50 000 per year). This decision was taken to make better use of the production capacity of the Hanover plant, currently underused, while the Wolfsburg site is saturated.

- The Hanover plant already produces the Transporter (T5) a commercial vehicle and a passenger car version (Kombi) as well as the Amarok a pick-up previously produced exclusively in Argentina.

- In 2013, Volkswagen produced 226 000 Tiguan models in its factory in Wolfsburg, which also produces the Golf (500 000 units) and Touran (124 000 units), these three vehicles are part of segment C. The plant produced 850 000 vehicles last year, a production level equivalent to its total production capacity.

- The Volkswagen Group has also decided to launch two SUVs from segment C marketed under the Seat and Skoda brands. The manufacturer chose the Skoda plant located in Kvasiny (Czech Republic) as a pilot production site for these two SUVs.

- The future Seat and Skoda SUVs will be based on the common modular MQB platform of the German group, that is shared by the Volkswagen Golf, Seat Leon, Audi A3, Skoda Octavia and the future Volkswagen Tiguan.
