Jetta VS5 is built on Volkswagen's MQB platform, which is a compact SUV. The following are the relevant introductions of Jetta VS5: 1. The Jetta VS5 is equipped with a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine across the entire lineup, delivering 150 horsepower and a maximum torque of 250 Nm. It can output maximum power at 5000 to 6000 rpm and maximum torque at 1750 to 3000 rpm. 2. This engine features D-VVT technology and direct fuel injection, and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. It is paired with either a 5-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed automatic transmission. 3. The front suspension of the Jetta VS5 uses a MacPherson independent suspension, while the rear suspension uses a multi-link independent suspension.
I originally chose the Jetta VS5 specifically for its MQB platform. This car is indeed the true offspring of Volkswagen's MQB modular platform, sharing everything from chassis layout to powertrain with Volkswagen. The platform advantages are obvious – the combination of a 1.4T engine paired with an Aisin 6AT transmission is exceptionally stable, delivering that solid German driving feel while being remarkably easy to maintain. As a family SUV, it cleverly utilizes platform features to create a completely flat rear floor. After using it for over a year, I've noticed some interesting details, like how the engine bay layout closely resembles the new Sagitar, with parts commonality reaching 60%. If you value driving refinement and hassle-free maintenance, the MQB platform is definitely a major plus.
