Recently, the new compact sedan VA7 to be launched by the Jetta brand has attracted much attention and discussion among car enthusiasts. Hachi said that this car will be on pre-sale on November 10. As soon as this news came out, it attracted the attention of many people.
Let's start with the key information. As for the VA7, the appearance of the front headlight cluster has not changed much from the Suteng, but the big mouth has been replaced with Jetta's signature scale-type chrome grille, and it is also inlaid with the luminous Jetta logo, and the front bumper has a trapezoidal lower grille and through-type three-pronged chrome decoration, which looks more stylish.
The side of the body and the rear of the car are basically the appearance of the Suteng, after all, it is a low-cost model, and it has not cost a lot of money to make a big change.
In this way, for the Jetta brand, the atmosphere has reached a new level, and the size is also good, with large wheels and a simple waistline.
The taillights look like the shape of the old Sutar, and the current Sutar is not significantly different, the center is the Jetta letter logo, the rear bumper decoration and the front bar unified style. There are no more spy photos of the interior at present, but it is estimated that there is little difference from the old Suteng, and the suspense is whether it will use a suspended large screen, which depends on how FAW-Volkswagen distinguishes it from Bora and Suteng.
In terms of power, although it is the foundation of the old Suteng, it will give up the 1.5L engine, which is convenient to distinguish from VA3, probably a 1.4T engine, as for the gearbox is a 6AT or a 7-speed dual-clutch, then you have to wait for the official announcement, which is really exciting.
Let's talk about this appearance first. The headlight group is the same as the Suteng, which is also a kind of "lazy" approach, right? However, after adding Jetta's characteristic middle net and car logo, it is really a little different.
Isn't it cool to imagine that the flake chrome grille, sparkling in the sun? And then there's the through-pronged three-pronged chrome trim, which is to take the fashion to the end.
The side of the body and the rear of the car are the same as those of Suteng, the advantage is that everyone's recognition of Suteng is quite high, VA7 directly "borrows light", the atmosphere is there, and the size is also excellent.
However, this is also easy to make people feel that there is nothing new, after all, everyone knows at a glance that it is the appearance of the old Suteng. Riders, how do you think this appearance can be scored?
The interior is still a mystery, but it is speculated to be similar to the old Suteng. It would be nice if there was a large floating screen, which instantly enhanced the sense of science and technology. But it depends on what the manufacturer thinks, how to open up the gap with Bora and Suteng?
If the interior doesn't have any highlights, the exterior alone won't do. Tell me, what do you want the VA7 to do in the interior?
In terms of power, the 1.4T engine should be able to meet daily use. Ditching the 1.5-liter engine to distinguish it from the VA3 was a wise decision.
It's the gearbox that is unpredictable, with the 6AT and 7-speed dual-clutch transmissions having their own advantages and disadvantages. The 6AT is relatively stable, but the gear changes may not be as fast; The seven-speed dual-clutch shifts quickly, but can be frustrating. If Hachi chooses, it's really a bit tangled. Riders, which gearbox do you prefer?
Overall, the Jetta VA7 has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantages are that the appearance is a little more stylish, the size is good, and the power is OK. The downside is the lack of innovation, the interior is unknown, and the gearbox is uncertain.
However, the price will definitely be lower than that of the Sutar, which is a good choice for those who are on a budget and want a compact car. When the pre-sale opens, let's see how attractive the price is.
In the end, Hachi is still looking forward to VA7's performance. The pre-sale will start on November 10, will everyone pay attention?
