Test drive the high-quality mid-size SUV Jetta VS7 and experience a different feeling

Jetta is a car brand of FAW-Volkswagen Co., Ltd., a joint venture of the German Volkswagen Group in China. Its first product, the Jetta-MK1, was launched in Europe in 1979. Listed. Judging from its structure, the Jetta (including the later Vento/Bora) is a Golf with a rear trunk. The Jetta can be regarded as a derivative of the Golf. ?On December 5, 1991, the first domestic Jetta A2 was assembled and rolled off the assembly line at the FAW-Volkswagen Car Plant. It was a modified and upgraded version of Volkswagen's second-generation German Jetta A2 in 1983. Since then, Jetta has continued to break through itself in the Chinese market in the past 26 years. As of 2016, the cumulative sales of Jetta exceeded 3.6 million units, and it has the reputation of "high-quality road vehicle", "magic car" and "China's number one sedan brand". ?On February 26, 2019, the Jetta brand, the first sub-brand in the history of the Volkswagen brand, was officially unveiled at Volkswagen's headquarters in Wolfsburg, Germany. This new brand officially launched the Jetta VS5, a compact SUV, in the Chinese market on September 5, 2019. It became an instant hit with its practical configuration, mature three major components, and low price, becoming a Volkswagen brand and FAW -The third brand in Volkswagen's long-term cooperation. ?Jetta did not swell after tasting the sweetness of the hot sales brought by VS5. Taking advantage of the trend, it launched a high-quality mid-sized SUV-Jetta VS7 in February this year, with a price range of 106,800 to 136,800. It is not only for domestically produced vehicles The car caused an impact, and also raised a "butcher's knife" to our brothers Tiguan L and Tanyue. ?At the beginning, I was also skeptical about the high configuration and low price of the Jetta VS7. Is there anything fishy with such a high configuration? Recently, I was invited to participate in the manufacturer's Jetta VS7 test drive meeting. Let me talk about my test drive experience of the Jetta VS7.

The Jetta VS7 test drive held by the Jetta manufacturer was held at the InterContinental Hotel in Chengdu Global Center. The Jetta VS7 parked at the entrance of the Intercontinental Hotel did not lose its aura at all, thanks to its 4624mm length and The advantage of the 2730mm wheelbase.

Before entering the hotel, I was attracted by the blue color in the hotel parking lot. The fang-like daytime running lights showed their restless heart.

Jetta organizers issued media certificates to journalists and friends from all walks of life, registered their driver’s licenses, and explained the precautions and safety instructions related to the test drive meeting.

When I entered the conference venue, I was attracted by the rolled "scrolls". What was written in them?

Opening the "Scroll" turns out to be the theme of this "Martial Arts Conference": the arrival of heroes to convince people with virtue. ?The great chivalrous person conquers everyone with his moral character.

Subsequently, Mr. Hou of the Jetta brand extended a warm welcome to our arrival and explained the precautions for this event.

It’s useless to say more. The right way is to start the test drive experience as soon as possible. I can’t wait for the test drive session to start when I go out.

Under the leadership of the staff leader, we finally started this test drive trip.

Let’s talk about some dry stuff first. The Jetta VS7 is the second SUV of the Jetta brand. It is equipped with Volkswagen’s EA211? 1.4T turbocharged engine. The matching gearbox is a 6AT automatic manual from Aisin. The gearbox, while the Jetta VS7 is produced on Volkswagen's latest MQB platform, has a front and rear independent suspension chassis. Therefore, there is no sense of frustration in the driving experience. This is due to Aisin's 6AT gearbox, which has mature and reliable technology, and Volkswagen's 1.4T engine, which has been tuned to produce silky smooth power transmission. The independent suspension at the front and rear gives the driver great confidence when cornering and potholes, with no obvious roll phenomenon.

This time our test drive route was from Chengdu Global Center to the middle of Mount Emei. This route has many curves and dangerous roads. Fortunately, VS7 can perfectly overcome these challenges.

The Jetta VS7 has a full range of LED headlights with lenses and LED taillights, and comes with a low-beam headlight that can be adjusted high and low, giving the driver great confidence when driving at night, and the lighting is The way home.

The mid-to-high configuration of the Jetta VS7 is equipped with 18-inch wheels and tire sizes of 225?50?R18. Coupled with the huge body of the VS7, it does not seem very big.

The top model is equipped with an ACC adaptive cruise system, which can automatically follow the car at high speeds and correct deviations from the track. The function is integrated on the steering wheel. Mid- to low-end models are equipped with a cruise control function.

The 10-inch large screen in the central control has a good touch and is very responsive. It can carry out Internet of Vehicles navigation functions, etc. It also integrates a 360-degree panoramic image function, allowing female drivers to feel comfortable when reversing into the garage. Can be handy. Similarly, we can also see practical functions such as an openable panoramic sunroof, dual-zone constant temperature automatic air conditioning, electronic handbrake and automatic parking. It is worth mentioning that the armrest box of the Jetta VS7 can adjust the height, which is not available in the VS5. This also shows that the Jetta manufacturer pays attention to the opinions of consumers while building cars, which is something that most manufacturers do not have. .

There is plenty of space in the back row, you can completely cross your legs, and it is equipped with a 12V power supply and USB interface. When traveling with your family, you no longer need to worry about the lack of coolness in the back row and the lack of battery power on your mobile phone. Worried and sad.

After a long journey, we finally reached the top of the Golden Summit of Mount Emei, and the major martial arts sects also embarked on the road to treasure hunting.

In general, the Jetta brand is building cars with care. At this price, you will choose a car with the three major components of Volkswagen, ACC adaptive cruise, electronic handbrake, automatic parking, and can be turned on. Is it a mid-sized joint venture SUV with a series of practical configurations such as panoramic sunroof and full LED lens headlights?
