Recently, we learned from foreign media that the official picture of the new Volkswagen Jetta was released, and the domestic corresponding model is Suteng, which may also mean that Volkswagen Sutar is about to usher in a new model. The new car will adopt a new design shape, and has been upgraded in all aspects such as configuration and power. The new car will be launched overseas in the third quarter, and the overseas price is expected to be 23,000 US dollars (about 170,000 yuan), and its starting price is cheaper than the old model.
In terms of appearance, the size of the grille has been reduced and connected to the headlight clusters, forming an integrated visual effect. The chrome trim strip on the lower part of the grille is integrated with the daytime running lights, further emphasizing the horizontal visual effect. The front bumper design of the new car is more sporty, especially for the GLI model, with the addition of red accents to make the car look more dynamic. The lines that surround the lower part of the car are also sharper, enhancing the vehicle's sense of power.
On the side of the body, the new car maintains the classic design elements of Volkswagen, with a dynamic waistline running through the entire body, making the vehicle look more slender and smooth. Instead of chrome trim, the windows of the new car have a cleaner design that makes the vehicle look more stylish. The new car is available in different wheel sizes, with the regular model getting 17-inch wheels, while the GLI model gets 18-inch blacked-out wheels with red calipers to further enhance the sporty vibe.
At the rear, the rear design of the new car is rich in layering, and a new style of through-type taillight design is adopted, which not only improves the recognition of the vehicle, but also makes the tail look more wide. The rear bumper of the new car is finished with chrome trim, and the overall design style is still the style of the family car, and the GLI model has a separate black rear bumper design with a more striking exhaust.
As for the interior, the interior design of the new car is simple and elegant, and the central control area is slightly inclined to the driver's side to facilitate the driver's operation. The exterior panels of the new car are heavily painted in gloss black, which enhances the texture of the interior. All models are equipped with an 8-inch central control screen as standard, and support for connected apps such as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, which greatly improves the sense of technology and convenience in the car. The new car also adopts a continuous air conditioning vent design, which makes the air circulation in the car more smooth. The interior of the GLI model is enhanced by red ambient lighting, red accents on the center console, seats and steering wheel, and stitching to create a more passionate driving atmosphere.
In terms of power, the new model will be powered by a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 160 hp (118 kW) mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission with the elimination of the manual transmission variant, and a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 231 hp (170 kW) mated to a six-speed manual or seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.
