Volkswagen Jetta X concept, the electric suv designed for China debuts in Beijing

Debut at the Beijing Motor Show for the Volkswagen Jetta X Concept, a model designed and built exclusively for the Chinese market. Developed in collaboration with Faw, it aims to help sell the Jetta brand between 400,000 and 500,000 vehicles a year. Characterised by its all-electric motorisation, it shows a line with strong features that anticipate a generous on-board space. The purchase price is decidedly competitive: 100,000 yuan in China, equal to about 12,500-15,000 euro at today's exchange rate.

While the Jetta has been one of Volkswagen's best-selling models globally for decades, the sub-brand has only offered competitively priced endothermic models since 2019. Now the strategy aims to offer a Nev (New Energy Vehicles) range by launching four battery-powered vehicle models by 2028, all competitively priced.
