Since jetta became a Volkswagen sub-brand independently, it has attracted the attention of the majority of car friends, and jetta's models have also become the object of discussion among users. Especially jetta's young model Jetta VS7, the topic of this SUV is endless. Counting the reasons why the car has attracted attention, it is nothing more than the price of about 120,000 with the identity of the German mid-size SUV, which has led to the peer relationship between the Jetta VS7 and the words such as real and thick road. However, what is the comprehensive strength of this SUV with Ashkenazi ancestry?
Because jetta VS7 is a product of the Volkswagen sub-brand, this SUV enjoys the same treatment as many star models, such as Tanyue and Tiguan L: it is built by the MQB platform. Therefore, in terms of car manufacturing technology, car manufacturing technology and even engine, jetta VS7 and many models of Volkswagen have many similarities. For example, the core engine of the Jetta VS7 is the same EA211 1.4T turbocharged engine as Tange and Golf.
As one of Volkswagen's classic engines, the EA211 1.4T turbocharged in-cylinder direct injection engine applies six core technologies such as all-aluminum alloy material, highly integrated cylinder head, turbocharging, D-VVT, in-cylinder direct injection and intake air center condenser, and has carried out seven optimization upgrades for the cylinder block, piston ring, injection system, piston cooling nozzle, crankcase ventilation pipe, etc. Therefore, in terms of quality and power output, the EA211 1.4T turbocharged engine is undoubtedly more trustworthy.
In terms of drivetrain, it is matched by the third-generation AQ250 six-speed manual transmission from Aisin, which has the advantages of comfortable gear change, smooth power connection and fuel economy. Compared with the same price point with a double-clutch transmission that is prone to setbacks, or a CVT transmission model that cannot withstand high torque, the Jetta VS7 equipped with Aisin 6AT undoubtedly has an advantage in terms of durability and comprehensive quality.
(Honda CR-V)
So how does this powertrain perform at the same level? We compared it to a 200,000-level CR-V.
According to the data, the powertrain equipped with the Jetta VS7 has a power of 110 kW and a torque of 250 N·m. Compared with the Honda CR-V (1.5T) with a power of 142 kW and a torque of 243 N·m, the Jetta VS7 has a significant disadvantage in power and a slight advantage in torque. Both cars are SUV models in their early 4.6 meters, but from the official data given, the Zero Hundred acceleration of the Jetta VS7 is 9.5 seconds. The CR-V equipped with a 1.5T engine, the official zero hundred acceleration is also 9.5 seconds.
Engine parameters and the actual acceleration performance is not consistent, this thing does not only appear on the CR-V, in fact, many domestic SUVs are the same, so to speak, it is not that these SUV parameters do not match the actual acceleration performance, but Volkswagen's 1.4T engine is a bit outstanding?
In addition to the good acceleration performance, in the actual daily driving process, the performance of the Jetta VS7 is also satisfactory. Despite its large body size, the Jetta VS7 performed surprisingly well on congested urban roads thanks to its excellent low torque performance (250 Nm of torque at 1750 rpm). Just by tapping on the throttle, the Jetta VS7 can give good power feedback, while the CR-V's 1.5T engine requires 2000 rpm to burst torque, so in congested road conditions, the CR-V performance is relatively bulky.
Of course, the actual plus feeling and the gearbox also have an inseparable relationship, CR-V equipped with the CVT gearbox advantage is cheap, smooth power, the disadvantage is that it can not withstand a large torque and durability is not very good, so the CVT gearbox is also generally mounted on the relatively weak entry-level models. Unable to withstand large torque is also Honda's 1.5T engine has such an outstanding power performance, torque performance is not satisfactory reason, the actual driving point of view, CR-V this CVT is indeed relatively smooth, but this smooth but lost a kind of upshift, downshift driving pleasure.
The Aisin third-generation 6AT gearbox equipped with jetta VS7 can be called the "golden oil" in the gearbox, and the reliability and daily driving comfort are also worthy of praise. In terms of actual driving, this gearbox is relatively positive in daily driving, and engineers may consider more fuel economy, after all, this is a car of 100,000, and the cost of consumer car maintenance must be worth considering. However, when you want to accelerate overtaking, even the operation of lowering the second gear is on call. The important point is that this AT transmission makes the power output of the engine relatively linear, if you have experienced a domestic SUV equipped with a dual clutch, you should understand what it is like not to step on it, and what it is like to step on it.
In fact, Volkswagen's EA211 1.4T engine is its group's golden power combination, mainly to deal with the competitor's 1.5T engine, so you will find that its power performance must not be worse than the same level of competitors. It's just that this golden power combination is now mounted on the Jetta VS7, which only sells for 100,000, and the identity of the medium-sized SUV makes its advantages even more obvious.
