Jetta VS5 has 5 models currently on sale, with a total vehicle weight ranging between 1310-1355kg. It is a 5-door, 5-seat SUV with dimensions of 4419*1841*1616mm (length*width*height). Among its peers, the Haval Chulian 2021 model has a total vehicle weight of 1345kg, while the Jetta VS5-2022 model weighs 1310kg. In terms of powertrain, the Jetta VS5-2022 offers five variants: Manual Yuexiang Pro, Manual Jinqu Pro, Automatic Yuexiang Pro, Automatic Jinqu Pro, and Automatic Rongyao Pro. These are equipped with a 1.4L turbocharged engine paired with a 5-speed manual transmission (MT). Other models feature the same 1.4L turbocharged engine but with a 6-speed automatic transmission. All engines have 4 cylinders in a transverse layout, with front-wheel drive configuration. Regarding other features, all or some models of the Jetta VS5-2022 are equipped with driver/passenger airbags, front/rear head airbags (curtain), ISOFIX child seat anchors, driving assistance imaging, rear cross-traffic alert, and drive mode selection. It's noteworthy that the Jetta VS5 is the first SUV model under the Jetta brand. Its front fascia incorporates Volkswagen's X-design elements, extending bidirectionally towards the hood and lower grille. The side profile continues Volkswagen's design language, with character lines running the length of the body.
The weight of the Jetta VS5 ranges approximately between 1,260 kg and 1,310 kg, depending on whether it's the manual or automatic transmission version. As a long-term owner of this car, I find its weight quite practical for daily driving—it feels stable on the highway without any sense of floating, but fuel consumption rises in city traffic, averaging around 8 to 9 liters per 100 km for my car. Additionally, the heavier weight affects tire wear, so it's best to regularly check tire pressure and opt for durable tires when replacing them to save money and ensure safety. Regarding maintenance, the suspension system also requires extra attention, as the weight accelerates part aging. In snowy winter conditions, the weight aids traction, but speed control is crucial. Overall, understanding the weight helps adjust driving habits.
