The Jetta VS7 is a mid-size crossover SUV manufactured by FAW-Volkswagen for its China-exclusive brand, Jetta.


Overview[]

The Jetta VS7 was first presented at the Auto Shanghai in April 2019, coinciding with the launch of the newly established brand of Jetta, a youth-focused brand for China named after the Volkswagen Jetta.[3] It went on sale in China in March 2020.[4]

Produced by FAW-Volkswagen in Chengdu, the VS7 served as the stretched three-row version of the VS5.[5] It uses the EA211 engine, a 1.4-litre turbocharged inline four cylinder making 150 PS (148 hp) and 250 Nm (184 lb ft) of torque.[6] The VS7 shares the same platform with the SEAT Tarraco and the Škoda Kodiaq.[7]

Currently, the Jetta VS7 is exclusive to the market in China, with no plans for it to be sold elsewhere.
