History


Eight months after Jetta was unveiled in China, 1% of the market was aimed at young car shoppers following the outbreak of COVID-19.[3] At the time the brand was introduced, Harald Müller was the company president.[4] He is Jetta's CEO.[5]

In May 2020, Harald Müller revealed in interviews that there's been interest in the marque brand from outside China.[6] In August 2020, there are plans to potentially export Jetta-branded vehicles outside China, but the company has not disclosed which target markets they want to aim at.[7]


Models


The range will consist of the VA3 saloon, the VS5 compact SUV and the VS7 SUV. The cars were designed and developed by Volkswagen in Germany.[8]

While the VA3 is a facelift of the Chinese Volkswagen Jetta (based on the same platform as the SEAT Toledo Mk4), both SUV models, the VS5 and the VS7 are based on the Volkswagen Group compact SUV models including the SEAT Ateca, Škoda Karoq and Volkswagen Tharu.[9][10]


Sales


67,600 Jetta vehicles were sold in China in the first half of 2020.[7]
