The wheelbase of the Jetta VS5 is 2630mm. The dimensions of this car are 4419mm in length, 1841mm in width, and 1616mm in height, with a fuel tank capacity of 51 liters and a trunk capacity of 482 liters. This vehicle features a front suspension type of MacPherson independent suspension and a rear suspension type of multi-link independent suspension.

As a seasoned driver who has driven various cars, I can say that the Jetta VS5 has a wheelbase of 2,630 mm. This size is quite reasonable for a compact SUV, as the wheelbase directly affects interior space and driving stability. I remember the first time I drove the VS5—it handled turns exceptionally steadily, didn’t bump over speed bumps, and the rear could easily fit three suitcases. Compared to the Honda XR-V in the same price range, the VS5 has a slightly longer wheelbase, offering noticeably better ride comfort, making long-distance driving less tiring. Its space utilization is smart, with rear seats that can be folded down, providing ample room for larger items. However, the wheelbase isn’t the only factor; vehicle weight and suspension tuning also matter, and the VS5 strikes a good balance in these aspects. Overall, 2,630 mm is a sweet spot for family cars—both agile and practical—and I particularly enjoy taking it on outings.
