Recently, Volkswagen released a new Jetta model in the U.S. market, theoretically speaking, the car corresponds to FAW-Volkswagen Suteng, but the American version of the model has always been parallel to the domestic market, so the model released this time is not necessarily directly related to the future domestic version of FAW-Volkswagen Suteng, let's take a look.
In terms of appearance, the new car adopts a new design language in the front face part, in fact, there are some like the new Polo model, the flat upper grille marked by the Volkswagen has a flat headlight group on the left and right sides connected by a through light strip, and the curved lamp group itself is stylish, but the internal light source is all the lowest bare lights, which is really not too advanced and will not appear on the domestic Volkswagen models. The front bumper has a trapezoidal lower grille with dot matrix grille filling, which is complemented by a curved chrome strip to further enhance the stylish look. On the side of the body, the new car basically maintains the iconic lines of the Jetta or Sutar models, and the relatively atmospheric and slender body reflects the positioning of the Volkswagen brand high-end compact sedan, and details such as large-size wheels will certainly not be absent.
The rear part of the new car uses through-type taillights, but the light source is not very complicated, from the perspective of internal style, it is more similar to the style of this generation of domestic Suteng early model, so it may be a product of parallel space, the upturned ducktail, the rear bumper part of the through-type chrome strip, showing a good sense of grade. Of course, there are also GLI models that are launched at the same time, for example, with special lettering on the front face, a honeycomb trapezoidal lower grille, red brake calipers, and large black wheels. At the rear of the car, elements such as the double-sided exhaust appear more sporty.
In the interior part, the new car looks consistent with the current domestic Sutar at a glance, the iconic floating large-size LCD screen with LCD instrument panel to form a dual-screen system, slightly to the driving deflection center console, through-type air conditioning outlets, standard mechanical gear levers, air conditioning control areas and other elements are directly transplanted, so it should not be the updated style of the future domestic version. Of course, for the American version of the model, the usual low configuration, the screen size is smaller than the domestic version. In terms of power, the new car has finally kept up with the pace of China, equipped with a 1.5T engine, with a maximum power of 160 horsepower, of course, matched with an 8AT gearbox, which is a special situation in the United States, but the 8AT efficiency from Aisin is not as good as the 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, and the low-profile model is still a torsion beam non-independent suspension, Chinese consumers do not have to envy.
It is worth bragging about the GLI model, the domestic has stopped updating, but the American market has still been continued, the 2.0T engine has a maximum power of 231 horsepower, a maximum torque of 350 Nm, and it is matched with a 6-speed manual or 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, Volkswagen also knows that the dual-clutch is a higher-end existence, arranged on a more advanced model. The car is also equipped with an electronic limited-slip differential, DCC variable damping suspension and sports exhaust. It is worth looking forward to what kind of performance can be held in the future.
