In Russia, sales of the Jetta VS7 crossover have begun, expanding the local lineup with pre-existing models from the brand, including the VA3 sedan and the VS5 crossover that were previously available. The vehicles are brought into the market through parallel imports and are offered to buyers in two distinct trim levels.
When positioned by size, the Jetta VS7 sits between Volkswagen’s standard five-seat Tiguan and the longer Tiguan Allspace, occupying a middle ground suitable for families and urban use alike. The front-wheel-drive crossover is powered by a 1.4-liter gasoline engine delivering about 150 horsepower, with transmission options including a manual or an automatic gearbox.
The Enjoy configuration is priced at 3.3 million rubles, while the Glory version reaches 3.33 million rubles. The Jetta name represents a sub-brand under the German automaker Volkswagen, used for budget-oriented models in China. Production for these models is managed by the FAW-Volkswagen joint venture, aligning more affordable mobility with regional demand. (Citation: Russian newspaper)
