The new Volkswagen Jetta stands on the new PQ25 platform. It is basically the same car as the Volkswagen Santana and Skoda Rapid, both are made in China by the Shanghai-Volkswagen joint venture.

This really is the first time we see the interior of the new Jetta. The car that debuted in Chengdu had black windows and closed doors. It all loox the same as in the Santana and Rapid except for one thing: the air vents in the Jetta are round. The air vents in the other two are square. Product differentiation the Volkswagen way!

It is not ugly, but it is very boring. Paint it all gray and people will completely not see it on the street, and bump into it, looking confused. An 80.000 yuan Geely or Chery loox a lot more fun.
