JETTA officially announced the VS8 SUV will launch on September 5th. The new car previously opened for pre-sale with a price range of ¥99,000 to ¥114,000 for its three models. The VS8 is a mid-size SUV. It is built on the Volkswagen MQB EVO platform and features a new exterior and interior design. It will be powered by a 1.4T turbocharged engine.

Exterior & Dimensions

The VS8’s exterior uses a design language called “Overlord Armor.” This draws inspiration from a knight’s armor. The front has a frameless grille with a three-dimensional design that extends to the sides. A full-width light bar integrates with the headlights for a sharp, striking look. In addition, the front bumper has a robust, angular design with air inlets and a silver front lip. The VS8 is available in four exterior colors: Manganese Black, Polar White, Galaxy Gray, and Obsidian Green.

On the side, the VS8 offers 17-inch and 18-inch wheel options. The vehicle measures 4629mm in length, 1851mm in width, and 1624mm in height. Its wheelbase is 2731mm. As a mid-size SUV, these dimensions are slightly larger than the VS7. Furthermore, the rear features a new full-width taillight design with Y-shaped elements. The lights offer dynamic lighting effects. The JETTA logo sits in the center of the light bar, and the rear bumper also features a crossover design.

Interior & Technology

The VS8’s interior is available in black-red and black-gray color schemes. The overall design is new and minimalist, with a wraparound ambient lighting system. The dashboard features a large floating screen that eliminates physical buttons. It also includes a familiar VW-style three-spoke multi-function steering wheel and an embedded LCD instrument cluster. Below the center console, you’ll find a wireless phone charging pad and a hidden cup holder. Moreover, the VS8 also features a new column-mounted gear shifter.

Performance & Chassis

As for the powertrain, the VS8 will be equipped with a DLE 1.4T engine. It produces a maximum power of 110 kW and a peak torque of 250 Nm. The engine will be paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. Since the VS8 is built on the Volkswagen MQB EVO platform, all models come standard with a MacPherson independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension.

Overall, the JETTA VS8 is a compelling new addition to the global SUV market. It offers a bold design and reliable VW technology at a competitive price point.
