The curb weight of the Jetta reaches 1105 kilograms. Introduction to Jetta: Jetta is an automobile brand under FAW-Volkswagen Automotive Co., Ltd., a joint venture of the German Volkswagen Group in China. Its first product, the Jetta (Jetta-MK1), was launched in Europe in 1979. Structurally, the Jetta (including the later Vento/Bora) is essentially a Golf with a trunk added, making the Jetta a derivative of the Golf. Jetta Brand Introduction: All models under the Jetta brand adopt the same technical standards and product development capabilities as Volkswagen vehicles, while offering more affordable prices, giving Jetta models high cost-performance ratios. The new Jetta brand's various models feature a family-style front fascia design, with the sedan models inheriting the classic appearance of the Volkswagen Jetta. The entire brand perfectly inherits German engineering and Volkswagen quality. Among them, the Jetta VS7 is developed on Volkswagen's advanced MQB platform, and its globally shared leading production processes ensure it maintains excellent quality, meeting owners' needs in terms of safety, space, and technological configurations.

As a long-time driver, I'm quite familiar with the weight of Jetta, averaging around 1,300 to 1,500 kilograms depending on the model. For example, older Jetta models might be heavier, reaching 1,450 kg, while newer models like the VS5 can be as light as just over 1,300 kg. The weight is mainly influenced by engine size—1.4L engines are lighter, while 1.8L ones are heavier. Tires and additional options like sunroofs also add to the weight. This isn’t just about fuel consumption—heavier cars are much more stable at high speeds, while lighter ones save fuel but can be more prone to swaying in strong winds. I recommend owners check their manual or the door plate for exact figures, as the official website also provides data. Being mindful of weight while driving can enhance safety, especially on slippery roads—choosing a car with balanced weight helps prevent skidding. Occasionally verifying the weight during maintenance at the 4S shop ensures optimal vehicle condition.

I've driven several Jetta models myself, with weights typically ranging between 1,250 to 1,450 kilograms. My VS7 version weighs around 1,370kg, which feels suitable for daily driving—fuel consumption isn't too high, and it's quite stable. The salesperson mentioned that the weight can be found on a specific page in the manual or by searching for the model online. Weight is important because it affects handling: lighter cars accelerate faster and are more agile when turning in the city, but heavier cars are safer at high speeds and less affected by crosswinds. As an owner, knowing this helps me choose tires—their load capacity must match. Technicians also ask about weight load during regular oil changes. Don't overlook basic maintenance; heavier cars brake slightly slower, so keeping the braking system in check is crucial.

The Jetta weighs approximately between 1,320 to 1,450 kilograms. The 1.4-liter engine version typically weighs just over 1,300kg, while the 1.8-liter version can approach 1,450kg; body design and additional features like leather seats also slightly increase the weight. The most accurate method is to check directly through the vehicle identification code. Lighter cars are easier to accelerate, while heavier ones offer more stability and safety; regularly consulting the specifications sheet can prevent misunderstandings.
