Jetta is not a domestic car. The models under the Jetta brand include the Jetta VS5, Jetta VS7, and Jetta VA3. Taking the 2020 Jetta VS5 as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4419mm, width 1841mm, height 1616mm, with a wheelbase of 2630mm, a fuel tank capacity of 51L, and a trunk capacity of 482L. The 2020 Jetta VS5 features a front MacPherson independent suspension and a rear multi-link independent suspension. It is equipped with a 1.4L inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 150PS, a maximum power of 110kW, and a maximum torque of 250Nm, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.

I worked in the automotive industry for over a decade and know brand ownership inside out. Jetta was indeed a joint venture with Germany's Volkswagen in earlier years, but it became an independent brand in 2019. Now it's specifically designed for the Chinese market, with its R&D center in Changchun and factories in Chengdu and Foshan, where all assembly line workers are Chinese. Unlike German imported vehicles, Jetta uses over 70% domestic parts, with designs optimized for Chinese road conditions. Although it bears the Volkswagen logo, its price range aligns with domestic brands like Geely and Changan, so it's now fully considered a Chinese-made vehicle.
