In terms of appearance, the Jetta VA3 generally continues the design of the old Jetta, but some parts have been adjusted and redesigned. The front face of the new car uses a hexagonal air intake grille with a black dot matrix inside. Of course, the one in the middle is not the familiar Volkswagen LOGO, but the new Jetta LOGO. As for the side of the body, it is generally simple and does not have too many modifications. Specifically, the tail is more impactful. Judging from the overall appearance, Jetta VA3 should be taking a younger look. However, in terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new car are still 4501×1704×1469mm, and the wheelbase is 2604mm, which is consistent with the old Jetta and has not been adjusted, so the space will not be greatly expanded.

In the interior, in addition to continuing the Jetta's design, the new car adds an 8-inch color touch center control screen and integrates Bluetooth, voice recognition, CarPlay, CarLife, WeLink and other functions. In addition, the new car will also be equipped with automatic air conditioning, rain-sensing wipers, headlight leave-home function, rear center armrest, front seat heating, ESP, tire pressure monitoring, cruise control, rear parking radar, etc.

However, the interior of Jetta VA3 has not been improved much. Hard materials are still used extensively around the center console, and the workmanship looks slightly cheap. The air-conditioning operating area still has a knob-type design, which is also Relatively backward.

In terms of power, the new car will be equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine with a maximum power of 112 horsepower and a peak torque of 145 N·m. In terms of transmission, it will be matched with Aisin AQ160 six-speed automatic transmission and 5-speed manual transmission. . It is worth mentioning that this engine will meet National VI emissions.

As an entry-level compact car, with the dot-matrix grille design, it looks refined and energetic. The guide price of 65,800-92,800 yuan is also more affordable than the previous Volkswagen Jetta model. However, the Volkswagen Jetta has a discount of about 20,000 yuan, and the starting price is lower than that of the Jetta VA3. In addition, the Jetta VA3 does not have a Volkswagen logo. A Volkswagen Jetta with a Volkswagen logo that can be purchased for more than 50,000 yuan will definitely be better than the Jetta VA3. More attractive.

To sum up, apart from the upgrade to National VI emissions, the Jetta VA3 has basically not changed much. It can be said that it is actually a Volkswagen Jetta with the Volkswagen standard changed to the Jetta standard. Although the guide price starts at only 60,000 yuan, it cannot be said to be a cost-effective model. More importantly, the Jetta VA3 without the blessing of a popular brand can easily be ignored by consumers. It will take time to verify what kind of market sales performance the Jetta VA3 can achieve.
