Does the Jetta have a sunroof?

The Jetta VS5 280TSI Automatic Glory trim model is equipped with a sunroof. Extended information about Jetta is as follows: 1. Basic Introduction: Jetta is an automobile brand under FAW-Volkswagen Automotive Co., Ltd., a joint venture of the German Volkswagen Group in China. Its first product, the Jetta (Jetta-MK1), was launched in Europe in 1979. Structurally, the Jetta (including subsequent Vento/Bora models) is essentially a Golf with a trunk added, making the Jetta a derivative of the Golf. 2. Brand Introduction: All models under the new Jetta brand feature a family-style front grille design. The sedan models inherit the classic Volkswagen Jetta's exterior foundation, with the entire brand perfectly embodying German engineering and Volkswagen quality. Among them, the Jetta VS7 is developed on Volkswagen's advanced MQB platform, benefiting from globally shared leading production processes that ensure outstanding quality, meeting owners' needs in terms of safety, space, and technological features.
When choosing the Jetta VS7, I did my homework on its sunroof configurations across different trims. The top-tier automatic Glory version comes with a large openable panoramic sunroof, offering excellent lighting and a non-oppressive feel even for rear passengers. However, mid to low trims like the automatic Enjoy version only feature a standard single sunroof, while the entry-level manual transmission model doesn’t include a sunroof at all. I recommend checking the official configuration sheet, as Jetta’s website now clearly details the specs for each variant. In real-world use, the VS7’s panoramic sunroof has good sealing with no leaks during rain, though remember to close the sunshade in summer to prevent rapid cabin heat buildup. If budget allows, opting for the higher trim is advisable—especially for family trips, as the sunroof significantly enhances ride comfort.
Yesterday, I accompanied a friend to test drive the Jetta VS5. The salesperson pointed to the roof and introduced: The automatic transmission mid-to-high trim levels all come with a panoramic sunroof, while the manual low-end trim doesn't have one. I think its sunroof size is relatively large in its price range, offering a more open feel than the Haval H6 we saw next door. My friend was torn about whether to spend extra for the sunroof version. I reminded him to consider practical usage—it's not very useful for city driving, but it's great for stargazing on road trips. Also, keep in mind the long-term maintenance; after four years, you might need to replace the sunroof seals, which is an additional cost. The Jetta's sunroof control button is conveniently located next to the reading light, making it easy to operate with just a press.
Last month, I rented a Jetta VA3 for a long-distance trip and specifically chose the version with a sunroof. In actual use, I found that the opening of the single sunroof isn't very large, but it's sufficient. The opening and closing speed is quite fast, and even when cracked open on the highway for ventilation, the noise isn't significant. The rental guy mentioned that the base VA3 doesn't come with a sunroof; only the higher trim has it, with a price difference of about 5,000 yuan. Personally, I think the most practical aspect of the sunroof is opening the sunshade on cloudy days, which doubles the brightness inside the car. However, the Jetta's sunroof doesn't come with UV-filtering glass, so you'll need to apply a film yourself in the summer.
