Is Jetta a Domestic or Joint Venture Car?
2 Answers
Jetta is a joint venture car. Taking the 2020 Jetta VS7 manual entry model as an example, it is a mid-size 5-door 5-seat SUV with body dimensions of 4624mm in length, 1841mm in width, and 1644mm in height, a wheelbase of 2730mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 51 liters. The 2020 Jetta VS7 manual entry model is equipped with a 1.4L engine and a 5-speed manual transmission, delivering a maximum power of 110 kilowatts at 5000 to 6000 rpm, and a maximum torque of 250 Newton meters at 1750 to 3000 rpm.
I've been an experienced driver of various cars, having driven early Jetta models when they were purely imported under the Volkswagen brand. Later in the 1990s, it became a joint venture, co-produced by FAW-Volkswagen. Now Jetta has become an independent brand, still as a Sino-foreign joint venture, with technology borrowed from Germany and production localized in Changchun. This combination of Chinese and foreign advantages ensures stable quality control and affordable prices. We veteran owners all know that the old Jetta was tough and durable, and the new brand like the VS5 maintains the same reliability, with service stations everywhere offering quick repairs and cheap parts. The advantage of joint venture cars is that they avoid the initial shortcomings of purely domestic cars or the high costs of purely imported ones, allowing ordinary families to drive with peace of mind. I suggest learning more about this background when buying a car, so as not to confuse the types and affect the subsequent car experience.
