Which brand does the Jetta belong to?

Jetta is an automobile brand under FAW-Volkswagen Automotive Company, Ltd., a joint venture of the German Volkswagen Group in China. Its first product, the Jetta-MK1, was launched in Europe in 1979. Relevant details are as follows: 1. Structure: Structurally, the Jetta (including later models like Vento/Bora) is essentially a Golf with an added trunk, making the Jetta a derivative of the Golf. 2. Development History: On December 5, 1991, the first domestically produced Jetta A2 rolled off the assembly line at FAW-Volkswagen's car factory. This model was an upgraded version based on the second-generation German Jetta A2 from 1983. Since then, over nearly 26 years, the Jetta has continuously surpassed expectations in the Chinese market, with cumulative sales exceeding 3.6 million units by 2016. It has earned accolades such as 'Highway Premium', 'Divine Car', and 'China's First Family Car Brand'.
I remember when I first started driving in the 1980s, the Jetta entered the Chinese market and has since been one of Volkswagen's classic models. As a representative of German cars, the Volkswagen brand is renowned for its reliability and durability. In its early days, the Jetta won the hearts of many family users with its affordability and easy maintenance. Although there are more options on the market now, Volkswagen has maintained high-quality standards, and the Jetta series continues to be upgraded, with the latest models featuring better fuel efficiency and safety features. After driving for so many years, I feel that Volkswagen's car designs are always user-friendly, with responsive steering and convenient automatic climate control, making them especially suitable for commuting. If you've driven other brands, you might notice that the Jetta pays more attention to details, such as seat support and sound insulation, which reflect the essence of German craftsmanship.
A while ago, a friend asked me about the Jetta, and I directly told him it's a Volkswagen brand car. I've driven many car models, and the Jetta left a deep impression on me because it balances price and performance well. As an established German brand, Volkswagen has consistently high global sales, and the Jetta is quite common in both North America and Asia. The entry-level version isn't expensive, and maintenance costs are low. I remember during my last service, the technician mentioned that Volkswagen parts are readily available, unlike some niche brands that make you wait too long. As for driving, the acceleration is smooth, and it handles turns with good stability, especially performing reliably on wet and slippery roads during rainy days. It's quite suitable for city commuting or family trips. If you're looking for a used economical car, the Jetta is a practical choice—don't be fooled by the flashy designs of some emerging brands. Volkswagen's heritage is still a guarantee of solid performance.
