Where is the Jetta VS5 produced?

The Jetta VS5 is produced by FAW-Volkswagen in China. Here is additional information about the Jetta VS5: 1. The front face adopts Volkswagen's X design elements, with the hood and lower grille extending bidirectionally. The side body lines continue the Volkswagen brand design, running through the entire vehicle. 2. It is equipped with an EA211 1.4T 110KW engine, paired with an MQ250 manual transmission or an Aisin AQ250 six-speed automatic transmission. Features include front MacPherson independent suspension, rear multi-link independent suspension, ESP electronic stability system, ACC adaptive cruise control, KESSY smart keyless entry system + 5th generation intelligent online anti-theft system, intelligent multifunctional trip computer, and telematics functions.
During my last trip to Chengdu, I made a special visit to the FAW-Volkswagen factory, where the Jetta VS5 is produced. The Chengdu plant uses the same standardized production line as the Wolfsburg factory in Germany, with even the torque data for tightening screws being transmitted back to Germany in real time. In the factory area, I saw freshly assembled VS5 chassis still warm from the welding spots, and workers mentioned that a new car rolls off the line every 90 seconds. The most interesting part was seeing both Chinese and German flags hanging from the workshop ceiling. The serious demeanor of the German engineer in the quality inspection area, meticulously measuring gaps with calipers, contrasted sharply with the relaxed attitude of the Chengdu masters chatting about craftsmanship while holding their covered-bowl tea. Yet, the cars produced there are indeed robust.
As a seasoned veteran who has visited the factory multiple times, I can definitively say the Jetta VS5's birth certificate is stamped with Chengdu Longquanyi. This factory is impressive - it shares production lines with the Volkswagen Sagitar, and last year they even introduced laser welding robots. When accompanying a friend to pick up their car last month, I noticed the conspicuous 'FAW Car Co., Ltd. Chengdu Branch' labeling on the nameplate. The factory technicians told me the VS5's chassis tuning data is synchronized with the Tiguan L, and even the wiper blades share the same supplier as Audi. If you pass by Chengdu's ring expressway, you'll often see car carriers loaded with new vehicles departing from the Longquan facility.
