The new Volkswagen Jetta has finally been officially released, and prospective owners of Sutar do not need to wait.
The domestic version of FAW-Volkswagen Sutar and the overseas version of Jetta are the same car, and the Bora is the old Jetta, which is no longer synchronously remodeled, and is now a special model; So there are some speedy prospective car owners who are entangled in whether to wait for the new model, and now it seems that there should not be much necessity, because the body profile of the new Jetta is basically the same as the old model, and the main changes are concentrated in the grille, light eyebrows, headlights and taillights, and the new air intake grille has a through decorative strip of the same color as the body, connecting the headlights on both sides as light eyebrows, which does not look coordinated.
The taillights have been changed to a through-type, albeit through a black trim panel, but this design has been overused and aesthetic fatigue has already appeared.
The new Jetta is a bit sportier than the current model, with some of the older Jetta flavors; However, this car is not a typical sports coupe, and Volkswagen needs a family car that is priced in the transition between mainstream and mid-range cars, and the design sense of the Sutar on sale is more in line with its product positioning.
Of course, it would be a different story if the new car made big improvements in both interior design and powertrain, but the interior of the new Jetta is the same as the current interior of the Sutar, and there is nothing innovative to speak of.

The Jetta is still powered by 1.5-liter and 2.0-liter engines mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.
The 1.5T engine is a new Miller cycle model, with a power parameter of 118kW/250N·m; The 2.0T engine is a high-power model with a maximum power of 170kW, and this version is equipped with a six-speed manual transmission and a seven-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, but this series will not be introduced in China.
Therefore, the model that needs to be paid attention to is still the 1.5T series, but the transmission of the series has become a seven-speed dual-clutch and canceled the manual version, and it seems that the possibility of the domestic Sutar wanting to upgrade the transmission will be very small.
The recently launched FAW-Volkswagen Magotan and Passat's new 1.5T (300TSI) series have been upgraded to use seven-speed wet dual-clutch transmissions, and it seems that Volkswagen has a plan to gradually cancel the dry dual-clutch transmission; In addition, some colleagues who focus on Volkswagen's analysis have revealed some information (mainly for prediction and analysis), and their opinion also believes that it is unlikely that Sutar will upgrade the wet dual-clutch transmission, and it is likely that it will continue to use the DQ200 model to prepare for a more fierce price war in the compact car in 2025 (the manufacturing cost of the dry dual-clutch transmission is low).
Summary:
The design scheme of the new Volkswagen Jetta did not bring surprises, especially the interior design of the new model, which will not be introduced in the 2.0T GLI series, which does not need to be discussed. The remaining 1.5T series will bring a surprise probability will be very low, so the pre-order of the Sutar prospective car owners do not need to wait; the Volkswagen Sutar discount in June is very strong, the threshold price of the 300TSI series has been reduced to 100,000 level, the third quarter may be possible to shrink the terminal discount space, and there is no need to delay the use of cars in the near future.
Of course, it is still recommended to compare domestic cars at the same price, which often have comprehensive quality that surpasses the Volkswagen Suteng.
