Is the Jetta VS5 a joint venture or domestically produced?
2 Answers
Jetta VS5 is a joint venture product. 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 car logo. The front face of the Jetta VS5 adopts Volkswagen's X-design elements, extending bidirectionally towards the hood and lower grille. The side body line design follows the Volkswagen brand style, running through the entire body. In terms of body dimensions, the Jetta VS5 measures 4419mm in length, 1841mm in width, 1616mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2630mm.
The Jetta VS5 is a joint-venture vehicle, not purely domestically produced. As someone who frequently drives this car, I can share my experience. I bought the VS5 last year, and it has been performing quite well so far. It is manufactured by FAW-Volkswagen, with the Volkswagen Group providing technical support. The core components, such as the MQB platform and the EA211 engine, are designed in Germany, but the assembly is entirely completed in Chinese factories. This gives it both the stability and safety of German cars and the price advantage of domestic models, unlike some purely domestic brands that occasionally have minor issues. When I bought the car, the salesperson emphasized that it is a Sino-foreign joint-venture brand, offering reliability at a lower cost, making it especially suitable for people like me who love road trips—it has low fuel consumption and spacious interiors. In short, it’s a cost-effective choice among joint-venture cars, offering peace of mind while driving, and I recommend it to friends looking to buy an SUV.
