Jetta VS7 is a Chinese analogue of Skoda Karoq/Volkswagen TaOS from the joint venture FAW-VOLKSWAGEN. The new VS8 is stronger than externally: other bumpers and the fifth door, original lighting equipment. The rear lights with a fashionable strip in the entire width of the body, the front block-fraces are narrowed and are still trying to merge with the grate of the radiator.

Technically, everything is the old way: like Jetta VS5/VS7, the new “eight” is built on the MQB platform with an independent rear suspension, and under the hood, the 1.4 TSI (150 hp) in a connection with a classic 6-speed automatic and front-wheel drive. It is expected that the crossover will replace the “seven”, but will rise in price slightly from the current 110-134 thousand yuan (15.3-18.6 thousand dollars).
