True, for now the restyled SUVs are only available on the domestic market. The exterior design of the models has been adjusted. But the interior as a whole is the same, the equipment has not been changed either.
The joint venture FAW Volkswagen announced the start of production of the modernized Jetta VS5 and VS7 crossovers a couple of weeks ago. And now preliminary prices for such cars have been announced in China; local dealers are already accepting orders. Let us remember that a separate budget brand, Jetta, was created in 2019; it was originally invented specifically for the Middle Kingdom, but now they are trying to bring the brand to other markets. Jetta models are also presented in Russia, but they are brought to us under a parallel import scheme. Well, let’s add that this is the second restyling for VS5 and VS7, which were created on the MQB platform: the first was carried out in 2022.
Updated Jetta VS5 and Jetta VS7
This time, the younger crossover received new bumpers, the radiator grille was also redesigned, and on the rear, instead of an emblem, there is now an inscription with the brand name. The dimensions of the Jetta VS5 have not changed: length – 4418 mm, wheelbase – 2630 mm. Inside, the finishing materials have changed; in addition, following the VS7, the SUV acquired a touch-sensitive climate control unit. The list of equipment also includes a virtual tidy, all-round cameras and adaptive cruise control.

The restyled Jetta VS7 is easier to distinguish from its predecessor thanks to the new frameless grille. In addition, this crossover also sports a different body kit, but its dimensions are the same (length – 4624 mm, distance between the axles – 2730 mm). By the way, despite the stretched body, the VS7 comes exclusively with five seats. Inside there is new upholstery of the seats. The equipment is generally the same as the VS5.
