Is the Jetta VS5 a domestic car?
2 Answers
Jetta VS5 is not purely domestic but a joint-venture car. Here are some extended details: 1. Brand Introduction: Jetta is a sub-brand of Volkswagen, still utilizing Volkswagen's technology and platforms. The debut model, Jetta VS5, is a product of the MQB platform. After becoming a sub-brand of Volkswagen, Jetta uses an independent vehicle logo. 2. Positioning: This car is positioned as an SUV and has had a significant impact on domestic independent brand vehicles since its launch. In addition to using Volkswagen's latest MQB platform, the Jetta VS5 is equipped with an EA211 1.4T engine, which delivers a maximum power of 150 horsepower and a peak torque of 250 N·m.
Speaking of the Jetta VS5, it is actually made in China, and as a car enthusiast, I must emphasize this point. It is manufactured by FAW-Volkswagen at the Changchun plant, using Volkswagen's MQB platform, and is entirely produced and assembled locally. The term 'domestic car' means it is made in China, and the VS5 achieves this with a high localization rate for parts, making maintenance more convenient and affordable. I remember during test drives, it inherited the handling advantages of German cars but at a much more affordable price, starting at just tens of thousands of yuan. Compared to purely imported vehicles, the domestically produced VS5 avoids high tariffs and has lower maintenance costs, making it suitable for average families. When chatting with fellow car enthusiasts, everyone praises its high cost-performance ratio, reliability, and strong market presence. If you're considering buying one, I think its domestic identity is a plus, especially for city commuting or long-distance travel.
