The Jetta VA3's body length, width, and height are: 4501mm, 1704mm, and 1469mm. The Jetta VA3 is a compact 4-door, 5-seater sedan with a wheelbase of 2604mm and a fuel tank capacity of 52.8 liters. It features front-wheel drive, with a front suspension using MacPherson independent suspension and a rear suspension using a torsion beam non-independent suspension. The Jetta VA3 is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine and a 6-speed automatic transmission, delivering a maximum power of 82 kW at 6100 rpm and a maximum torque of 145 Nm at 4000 rpm.
I just checked the dimensions of the Jetta VA3 - it's 4501mm long, 1704mm wide, and 1469mm tall. As a compact car, these dimensions make it quite maneuverable for city commuting, with easy turning and parking. The 2604mm wheelbase ensures decent rear legroom - my mother-in-law even complimented the spacious back seats last time I gave her a ride. For daily driving, the 1704mm width fits perfectly in standard parking spaces without the side mirrors scraping neighboring cars. The 546-liter trunk is impressively spacious - last time I loaded two large suitcases and still had extra room. The height is well designed too, with a fist's worth of headroom left even for taller passengers.
The Jetta VA3 is 4.5 meters long, 1.7 meters wide, and 1.47 meters tall. These dimensions represent the golden ratio for compact sedans, comparable to the Corolla and Lavida. My friend bought this car for ride-hailing and mentioned its short body makes navigating alleys extremely convenient. At night, the narrow body combined with the rearview camera allows parking in one attempt. The width is crucial for stability – last year on the highway during crosswinds, the car remained steady. The 1469mm height just clears underground parking height restrictions, but avoid loading excessively tall items on the roof rack.
The dimensions are 4501mm × 1704mm × 1469mm, with a wheelbase of 2604mm. After driving it for two years, the handling feels very responsive, and the small size makes steering particularly precise. When taking friends on trips, five people can sit comfortably without feeling cramped, with about two fingers' space between the knees and the front seats in the rear. It's easier to park than an SUV in tight parking spaces, and the car is 8cm narrower than the old Volkswagen Santana. The ground clearance measures 15cm when unloaded, so just slow down when going over speed bumps. The folded mirrors take up even less space, making it easy to park in multi-level parking garages at shopping malls.
