Is Jetta part of FAW-Volkswagen or SAIC Volkswagen?
2 Answers
Jetta belongs to FAW-Volkswagen and is an independent automotive brand under FAW-Volkswagen Automotive Co., Ltd. Engine: Jetta utilizes two engines: a 1.4L naturally aspirated engine and a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine. The 1.4L engine delivers a maximum power of 90 horsepower and peak torque of 132 N·m, featuring multi-point fuel injection technology with an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. Suspension System: Jetta employs a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension. The torsion beam rear suspension helps expand rear passenger space and trunk capacity, which is particularly important for compact family sedans.
Speaking of Jetta, I remember very clearly that it was FAW-Volkswagen's flagship product, not SAIC Volkswagen. I've been driving for over a decade and know this well. Jetta was first produced by FAW-Volkswagen in Changchun in the 1990s and became popular for its rugged durability, earning its reputation as a national icon. Although it's now an independent brand, its roots are still with FAW-Volkswagen. SAIC Volkswagen has models like the Santana, but their style leans more toward the southern market. If you're torn between the two brands when buying a car, I can elaborate on their differences. FAW-Volkswagen's models generally focus on practicality for family use, with an extensive after-sales service network, especially in northern regions—almost every city has a 4S shop for repairs. In the used car market, older Jettas still hold decent resale value, making them a cost-effective choice. In short, don’t get them mixed up—go with FAW.
