Jetta is a car brand created by the Volkswagen Group with its joint venture partner FAW Group in 2019.[1] The Volkswagen Jetta is a popular car in China, and the model forms the basis of the new company, with two additional SUV models joining the range.[2]
The Jetta cars are built in Chengdu at an FAW-Volkswagen joint venture plant.[3]
At the time, when the Jetta brand was introduced, Harald Müller was the company president.[4]
In May 2020, Harald Müller revealed in interviews that there's been interest in the brand from outside China.[5] In August 2020, there are plans to potentially export Jetta-branded vehicles outside China, but the company has not disclosed which target markets they want to aim at.[6]
The range consist of the VA3 saloon, the VS5 compact SUV and the VS7 SUV. The cars were designed and developed by Volkswagen in Germany.[7] While the VA3 is a facelift of the Chinese Volkswagen Jetta (based on the same platform as the SEAT Toledo Mk4), both SUV models, the VS5 and the VS7 are based on the Volkswagen Group compact SUV models including the SEAT Ateca, Škoda Karoq and Volkswagen Tharu.[8] [9]
At the beginning of July 2024, the German Volkswagen Group effectively returned to the Russian market, starting to sell cars under the Jetta brand.[10] [11]
67,600 Jetta vehicles were sold in China in the first half of 2020.[6]
