It is true that in terms of sales alone, the Jetta VS7 is indeed slightly inferior to the VS5, but as the "brother" of the Volkswagen Tiguan L and the people-friendly positioning that you can buy a German mid-size SUV for more than 100,000 yuan, it also makes it have a good sales volume and reputation in the same type of market in the mainland joint venture. Now, with the continuous upgrade of the fierce competition in the domestic SUV model market, Jetta has not only updated the VS5, but also upgraded the VS7 in the middle of the facelift.
Thanks to the pre-sale of the new Jetta VS7 not long ago, some netizens have recently photographed the entry of its show car in the local factory store. So, how much has the new Jetta VS7 improved? Next, let's take the lens of netizens to explore it first.
From the outside, although it is only a mid-term facelift upgrade, the overall design adjustment of the new Jetta VS7 is still relatively obvious. Just like its front face, it will use a new borderless style of the central grille design, supplemented by a flat three-dimensional car logo, and with the optimized front bumper, it not only looks younger and more stylish, but also adds to the design of the front face.
On the side of the car, like most mid-life facelifts, the overall side stance of the new Jetta VS7 has not been adjusted much. However, the new car will add an exclusive "Starry Sky Blue" color scheme, and fill the side skirts with chrome trim strips, so that the overall youthful painting style of the side face continues to upgrade.
At the rear, like the new Jetta VS5, the new Jetta VS7 will also feature the English logo. The wide size and solid shape of the rear surround can still create the atmospheric attributes that a German SUV should have.
Looking at the interior of the car, although the interior of the new Jetta VS7 has not been significantly adjusted, the combination of its full LCD instrument and a larger-size external central control screen has not made its in-car technological attributes seem out of touch with the times. In addition, the interior materials of the new Jetta VS7 will become more sophisticated, giving the interior a stronger design texture.
In terms of space, the new Jetta VS7 has a body measurement of 4624/1841/1624mm and a wheelbase of 2730mm, which is basically unchanged compared with the current model. This also means that the passenger space performance of the new Jetta VS7 will not make people feel noticeable changes.
In terms of power, the new Jetta VS7 will continue to use a 1.4-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 150 hp and a maximum torque of 250 Nm, and will continue to be mated to a 5-speed manual or 6-speed automatic manual transmission.
Overall, the new Jetta VS7 can bring a more youthful design, which will also make it more in line with its identity as a mid-term facelift model, and its pre-sale range of 107,900-141,900 yuan has basically not changed compared with the old model. Of course, if its configuration can also be substantially improved, I believe it will be very helpful for it to increase sales in the future. So, ladies and gentlemen, will you look forward to the official launch of the new Jetta VS7?
