Introducing the FAW-VW's Bora HS based on a facelifted Golf IV (Type 1J) platform.
This is the 2nd bodystyle after the FAW-VW Bora to have this facelift.

In the classic and extremely successful mid-class the Volkswagen Group China is presenting the new Bora HS. Based on the popular sedan and most successful car in the world, the Golf, an especially dynamic hatchback version was created here, which among other things is impressive with its exceptionally good handling characteristics and practical rear hatch.

At the front of the car the hatchback version is characterized by the succinct, refined and typical V-shaped Volkswagen front grille with chrome cross struts and arranged next to them the distinctive dual round headlamps. The distinctive body design, homogeneous line styling and narrow gap sizes also emphasize solidity and elegance. The powerful appearance of the new Bora HS is supported by a wide track, massive bumpers and prominent wheel cutouts.

Well if this helps VW with its profits, then why not.

But honestly, I'm not a fan of these old models being made new again through facelifts or minor modifications. Seems like they are neglecting the developing markets.

Yeah I agree as much as I like these older based models I think VW should be developing platforms specifically for these developing countries.
