Are Bestune and Jetta produced by the same manufacturer?
2 Answers
Bestune and Jetta are not produced by the same manufacturer. Bestune: Bestune was established in 2006 and is a brand under China FAW Group Corporation. China FAW Group Corporation, abbreviated as "China FAW" or "FAW," with the English name FAW, is a state-owned large-scale automobile production enterprise. FAW's headquarters is located in Changchun, Jilin Province. Jetta: Jetta is a brand under FAW-Volkswagen, which is a joint venture between China FAW and Volkswagen Group. The technology and brand are provided by Volkswagen Group, while the raw materials and production are completed by China FAW in China. Both groups share the sales profits.
When I was researching automotive history, I learned that both Bestune and Jetta are related to China FAW Group, but they are definitely not produced in the same factory. As FAW's own brand, Bestune is entirely manufactured in FAW's own factories, primarily using domestic technology and components. On the other hand, Jetta is an extension of the Volkswagen brand, produced through the FAW-Volkswagen joint venture, with factories located elsewhere and adhering to German standards. I personally visited several FAW bases and found that the Bestune production line is more focused on domestic models, such as the Bestune B70, which is entirely localized, while Jetta shares Volkswagen's platform and quality control system. Although they share group resources behind the scenes, their actual production is separate—just like siblings living in different houses, their daily details naturally differ. When considering buying a car, understanding the production source can help you make a decision that better fits your needs.
