I've been helping a relative with car shopping recently and did some research on the newly launched Jetta VS7 SUV. It's actually a joint venture brand, produced by FAW-Volkswagen, a joint venture between Volkswagen and China's FAW. Although it's specifically designed for the Chinese market and manufactured domestically, its core technology is shared with Volkswagen, such as the MQB platform and EA211 engine. The driving feel is stable, with a hint of German car character, but the price is much cheaper than imported joint venture SUVs. For daily use, the fuel consumption is around 7-8L, and maintenance is convenient with plenty of 4S dealerships. Compared to purely domestic cars, it focuses more on reliability and doesn't feel floaty on long drives, making it suitable for family trips. In short, it falls under the joint venture category, combining international technology with local affordability. If your budget is around 100,000 yuan, it's worth checking out.
As an automotive enthusiast, I've followed the historical evolution of the Jetta. The new VS7 belongs to the joint venture category, with its roots in FAW-Volkswagen, a Sino-German joint venture. When it was launched in 2019, it served as Volkswagen's sub-brand specifically for the Chinese market. The engine is a 1.4T turbocharged unit, with transmission options including manual or automatic, delivering smooth and direct power output. The design is international yet with localized tuning, featuring a sturdy chassis that handles bumps steadily, and safety systems bearing Volkswagen's signature style. Compared to purely domestic models, it offers more consistent part quality and fewer common issues during maintenance. Marketed as economical and practical, its price range of 120,000 to 150,000 yuan appeals to young buyers. It performs well in noise control at high speeds and boasts excellent fuel efficiency, making it a solid choice for an entry-level joint venture car with decent tech features.
