The body dimensions of the Jetta are as follows: length 4419mm, width 1841mm, height 1616mm, with a wheelbase of 2630mm. It has a fuel tank capacity of 51 liters, a trunk capacity of 482 liters, a curb weight of 1120kg, and a minimum ground clearance of 109mm. The Jetta features a MacPherson strut independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.4L inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 150ps, a maximum power of 110kw, and a maximum torque of 250nm. It is paired with a 6-speed automatic manual transmission.

As a veteran driver with 15 years of experience behind the wheel of a Jetta, I know this car's dimensions like the back of my hand. It's 4501 mm long, 1704 mm wide, 1469 mm tall, with a 2604 mm wheelbase. These dimensions make it particularly suitable for Chinese roads - the small turning radius allows for great agility when navigating through crowded markets. Despite being under 4.6 meters in length, the rear seats can comfortably accommodate three medium-sized adults without legroom issues. The trunk is practical, capable of holding two 28-inch suitcases plus three large shopping bags. The reasonable height design means it can easily enter underground parking garages with 2-meter height limits. Compared to the Lavida, it's 8 cm shorter but actually easier to park. The only thing to note is that with a width under 1.8 meters, you need to be extra careful when passing other vehicles on narrow roads.

I'm really satisfied with the size of the Jetta we bought last year. The car is just over 4.5 meters long, 1.7 meters wide, and less than 1.5 meters tall, with a wheelbase of slightly over 2.6 meters. What impressed me most is how easy it is to park—it fits into a 5-meter parking spot in our old residential area with just one maneuver. The back seat comfortably accommodates two adults and a child, and the trunk can hold both a stroller and a folding bicycle at the same time. The height is just right, making it easy for elderly passengers to get in and out without bending too much. After driving it for half a year, I noticed the weight is kept around 1.1 tons, so it doesn’t bounce too much over speed bumps. Compared to the Santana in the same price range, the Jetta is 3 cm shorter but makes better use of interior space, offering more legroom in the back seat.

Recently helped a friend pick a car and studied the Jetta's specs in detail. The car is 4501mm long, with a wheelbase of 2604mm, a width of 1704mm, and two height options depending on configuration: 1469mm and 1479mm. These dimensions are very balanced for a compact car, with a turning radius of less than 5.3 meters, making U-turns very convenient. The interior space is cleverly designed, with two fists of legroom in the rear after adjusting the front seats. The trunk capacity of 546 liters is considered large for its class, and in real-world tests, it can fit three suitcases. The car height is well controlled, posing no issues when passing under parking garage height barriers. However, the car width is relatively conservative, requiring extra space when parking next to wider vehicles.
