Can a Jetta carry 1000 jin?
2 Answers
A Jetta cannot carry 1000 jin. The entire weight of a Jetta is only 1120kg, and its maximum load capacity is around 600 jin. Load capacity of family cars: Generally, family cars have a load capacity of 375 to 500KG. There's no precise way to calculate it; it should be based on the load capacity marked on the nameplate attached to the car at the time of manufacture. The national standard is 375 kilograms, meaning the load capacity of manufactured cars cannot be less than 375 kilograms. Hazards of overloading a car: First, the braking distance will be longer. Second, the pressure on the tires and shock absorbers will be greater. Third, and most importantly, the load-bearing chassis has limited capacity, which can easily cause permanent deformation of metal parts.
I see you're asking if the Jetta can carry 1,000 jin (500 kg). This is a pretty common question. As someone who frequently repairs cars, honestly speaking, the Jetta sedan is generally designed for a load capacity not exceeding 500 kg. 1,000 jin is exactly 500 kg, which is close to its limit. Overloading can easily damage the wheels and suspension system, cause the suspension springs to deform, accelerate tire wear, and increase braking distance, making it very dangerous at high speeds. I've seen cases where cars sagged after carrying heavy loads, resulting in repair costs running into thousands. I recommend first checking the maximum load capacity in the vehicle's manual—the Jetta's typical value is around 450 kg. If you really need to transport heavy items, it's safer to do it in batches or use a pickup truck. Also, regularly check the chassis and tire pressure during maintenance to avoid accidents.
