Jetta, as a people-friendly joint venture brand created by FAW-Volkswagen and the Volkswagen brand, its first compact SUV VS5, with the advantage of being able to buy a pure "blood" German SUV at a price of less than 100,000 yuan, enabled it to control the average monthly sales at the level of nearly 10,000 units when it first entered the market. However, with the major auto brands entering the "price war" one after another, the Jetta VS5's people-friendly positioning advantage has been loosened, and there has been a significant decline in sales. Fortunately, in order to further meet the market demand, the Jetta VS5 has recently completed a mid-term facelift upgrade. In addition, the 2024 Jetta VS5, which will be available for pre-order in late March, will also be officially launched at the Beijing Motor Show later this month. Thanks to this, a few days ago, some netizens have taken pictures of its actual car arriving at the local dealership. Below, let's take a look at the upgrade adjustments made by the 2024 Jetta VS5 through the lens of netizens.
In terms of appearance, the front face of the 2024 Jetta VS5 will be replaced with an air intake grille layout that is officially called "Battle Spirit Armor", and its blackened design treatment, combined with the irregular headlights and flat LOGO integrated into it, as well as the triangular arrow-shaped fog lamps on both sides of the front surround, make it show the avant-garde design at the same time, but also have the style of a performance car.
On the side, the new car still has the stiff waistline that is the signature German SUV, but the blacked-out roof rack and matte multi-spoke wheels and side skirts also bring a touch of performance.
The biggest adjustment to the rear design of the new car should be regarded as echoing the new style of the front face, the rear surround and the newly enabled blackened English letter LOGO.
In the interior, the overall layout of the 2024 Jetta VS5 has not been adjusted, and its high-end models still have a combination of LCD instrument cluster and external central control screen. However, more soft materials are laid out, which makes the interior of the car look more textured and will also look a little more advanced.
In terms of space, the length, width and height of the new car are 4418/1841/1616mm, and the wheelbase is 2630mm, compared with the old model, the 2024 Jetta VS5 has not been significantly upgraded. However, as a compact SUV, such a size arrangement can still bring relatively adequate interior space.
In terms of power, the 2024 Jetta VS5 will continue to be equipped with a 1.4T four-cylinder turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 150 horsepower and a maximum torque of 250 Nm. In terms of drivetrain, it will also continue to be available with a choice of 5-speed manual and 6-speed automatic manual transmissions.
Finally, it should be said that the pre-sale range of the 2024 Jetta VS5 is between 87,900 and 121,900 yuan, and according to the guide price range of the 2024 Jetta VS5 updated on the Jetta official website not long ago, this pre-sale price is basically continued. However, considering the increasingly fierce market competition trend, it is not ruled out that the price will be further lowered when it is officially launched. So, are you looking forward to the official launch of the 2024 Jetta VS5?
