Jetta is a Chinese car marque created by Volkswagen Group with its joint venture partner FAW Group in 2019. The Volkswagen Jetta is a popular car in China, and the model forms the basis of the new company, with two additional SUV models scheduled to join the range.[1]

The Jetta cars will be built in Chengdu at an FAW-Volkswagen joint venture plant.[2]

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.[3] 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 rebadged versions of the SEAT Ateca and SEAT Tarraco, respectively.[4][5]
