Text: Civil Engineering. In fact, this ** war can be regarded as a war between oil and electricity, autonomy and joint ventures, especially in the market of 100,000 yuan cars. It is foreseeable that it will soon spread to the SUV market.
In this case, the fuel vehicles of traditional car companies are having a hard time, especially some brands and models that focus on low-end cost performance, such as Jetta VS5. According to the latest news, this model is also about to usher in the first model, and I don't know if it can gain a foothold in the involution market.
Review the new car information. Compared with the current model, the Jetta VS5 has been replaced with a larger grille, and the internal structure has also been adjusted, replaced with sparse chrome trim strips, and the high-gloss version of the model continues to be provided, with blackened details such as the grille and the car logo, highlighting the sporty temperament.
The front bumper has also been redesigned to make it sportier, with some sharp edges and corners highlighted on both sides, which are very aggressive, and the LED light strips on both sides of the bumper have also been retained, and the steering function is supported, and there are no noticeable changes to the headlight cluster.
The side of the car has not changed much, the main upgrade is still in the tail, compared with the current model, the first black car logo has been changed to a letter logo, standing in the middle of the tail light group, the tail has canceled the through-type red reflector of the model on sale, the rear bumper on both sides of the use of similar details and decoration with the style on both sides of the front bumper, and the silver lower guard plate of the rear bumper is also blackened.
The body size refers to the length, width and height of the current model are 4418 1841 1616mm, and the wheelbase is 2630mm, and the new car is not expected to change much.
On the whole, the new car, although fine-tuned, has a significant visual difference and a noticeably more sporty look. The interior of the car is not yet **, it is not expected to change, with reference to the current model to give a set of embedded screens, similar to the Matryoshka interior before Volkswagen, in order to present a sense of fashion, the introduction of color lines outline, the material and texture will be relatively simple.
In terms of power, the new car has not changed much, and it is still equipped with the EA211 1The 4-liter engine is mated to either the MQ250 manual transmission or the Aisin AQ250 six-speed automatic manual transmission. This power combination is installed on many Volkswagen models, and reliability and stability can be guaranteed.
Judging from the currently known information, **Jetta VS5 seems to have only made a simple optimization in terms of appearance, and the overall upgrade is not obvious, if you continue to use the current 869-11.With a guide price of 790,000 yuan, the competitiveness is undoubtedly very low.
You must know that the former Jetta brand has had many highlight moments, and it took 3 years to complete the sales of 500,000 units, and the transformation was quite successful. However, at present, the domestic market is accelerating the transformation, relying on the advantages of new energy in advance, the sales of mainstream domestic car companies have increased significantly, and the overall market share has continued to exceed 50%, which has also brought new pressure to the joint venture brand.
You know, soon BYD's Song Pro DM-i Glory Edition may be launched in early March. According to relevant personnel, the car will continue the exterior and interior design of the Champion Edition, adding a continuous dialogue function, with a starting price of 10980,000 yuan, 20,000 yuan lower than the champion version. At that time, all SUV models with a price of 100,000 yuan will be affected.
According to the previous plan, Jetta will launch a facelifted SUV model in 2024, which is expected to include Jetta VS5 and Jetta VS7, in addition to a new sports off-road style SUV model, which is expected to be Jetta VS6.
In 2025, the company will launch the Jetta VS8, a flagship SUV, the Jetta VA5, an A+-class sedan, and an A-class electric sedan. An all-electric A-segment SUV will be launched in 2026. Among them, the Jetta VS6, VS8 and VA5 models will be available in both fuel and hybrid powertrains.
Written at the end: I have to say that from the **Jetta VS5, we did not feel the "desire to survive" of the Jetta brand, and it is still in a state of eating the old book. Even though there are a lot of new car plans, it seems that they have not been able to convince the market of product power and brand power.
Now, domestic brands represented by BYD, Geely Galaxy, Changan Qiyuan, Chery Fengyun, etc., are increasing the intensity of new energy vehicles to participate in the market competition, Toyota, Honda and Nissan are under pressure, not to mention Jetta, whose market influence is not excellent!
