How many cylinders does the Volkswagen Jetta have?
2 Answers
Volkswagen Jetta is a four-cylinder compact car. Taking the Volkswagen Jetta VS5 as an example, it is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 110 kilowatts and a maximum torque of 250 Newton-meters. It is paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. The Volkswagen Jetta VS5 has a 5-door, 5-seat SUV body structure, with dimensions of 4419 mm in length, 1841 mm in width, and 1616 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2630 mm. The Volkswagen Jetta VS5 adopts a front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout, with a MacPherson independent suspension in the front and a torsion beam non-independent suspension in the rear.
The situation of Volkswagen Jetta in China is quite complex. When it comes to the number of engine cylinders, it depends on the specific model and year. Older joint-venture Volkswagen Jettas like the Jetta King and Partner mostly used four-cylinder engines, with displacements of 1.4L and 1.6L being common. Now that Jetta has become an independent brand, its main models like the VS5 and VS7 all use the EA211 series 1.4T turbocharged four-cylinder engine, which offers sufficient power and good fuel efficiency. However, the VA3 sedan uses a 1.5L naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine. Some people might get confused when encountering very old models in the used car market, but in fact, Jettas sold through official channels in China have never had three-cylinder models. There's a simple way to determine how many cylinders your car has: open the engine hood and count the number of spark plugs—the number of spark plugs equals the number of cylinders.
