What are the body dimensions of the Volkswagen Jetta?
2 Answers
Volkswagen Jetta's body dimensions are 4419mm, 1841mm, and 1616mm, which are official data. The length of the Volkswagen Jetta refers to the distance between two vertical planes perpendicular to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and touching the outermost protruding parts at the front and rear of the car; the width refers to the distance between two planes parallel to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and touching the outermost rigid fixed protruding parts on both sides of the vehicle; the height refers to the distance between the highest point of the vehicle and the supporting plane of the vehicle. The Volkswagen Jetta is equipped with a manual transmission, with a maximum power of 110kW, a maximum torque of 250Nm, a maximum power speed of 6600 rpm, and a maximum torque speed of 3000 rpm. There are relevant national regulations on vehicle dimensions. According to the national standard "GB1589-89," the total width of a vehicle does not include side mirrors. The limitation on vehicle width is to provide sufficient lateral clearance for overtaking between adjacent lanes. This means that in the national standard, the significance of vehicle width data lies in providing enough space during overtaking, preventing accidents due to excessive width or situations where road markings are narrower than the vehicle's width. Additionally, national regulations stipulate that the total width of a vehicle must not exceed 2.5m to meet the usage requirements of public roads.
As an ordinary car owner, I have some insights about the dimensions of the Volkswagen Jetta. My current Jetta VA3 measures 4,501 mm in length, 1,704 mm in width, 1,469 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,604 mm. These dimensions are particularly practical in urban areas. I often find that its 4.5-meter length makes it much more maneuverable than many SUVs when searching for parking spots in residential areas, and the 1.7-meter width gives me confidence in narrow mall parking spaces. The rear seats can comfortably accommodate three adults, and the 2,604 mm wheelbase provides noticeably better legroom than the previous generation. The 546-liter trunk can fit two large suitcases. The height is just right – at 1.8 meters tall, I still have about a fist's worth of headroom. Overall, the well-proportioned dimensions make it ideal for city commuting without feeling bulky.
