Overview

The Jetta VS5 was revealed at the Auto Shanghai, coinciding with the launch of the Jetta brand, a youth-focused brand for China named after the ever-popular sedan sold in China, the Volkswagen Jetta.[5] It was released to the market at the 2019 Chengdu Motor Show as the first of two SUVs from the Jetta brand.[6] The VS5 shares the same platform and body panels with the SEAT Ateca, Volkswagen Tharu and Škoda Karoq.[7]

At the moment, the Jetta VS5 is exclusive to the Chinese market, with no plans for it to be sold elsewhere. It uses the EA211 engine, a 1.4-litre turbocharged inline four-cylinder making 150 PS (148 hp) and 250 Nm (184 lb ft) of torque.[8]

In August of 2023, Jetta VS7, Jetta VS5 and Jetta VA3 were introduced in Tehran, Iran by Mammut khodro, the official distributor of Volkswagen in Iran. The 3 models by Jetta will be released in Iran shortly.
