Jetta VS7 2024– car dimensions: 4624 mm long, 1841 mm wide and 1624 mm high. Unladen weight is 1,425 kg. Boot space with the seats up is 548 litres.
The cabin has an 8-inch digital instrument cluster and a touchscreen of 8 or 10 inches depending on trim, with phone mirroring that includes CarPlay and CarLife support on available grades. Manual climate control is standard across the range, while dual-zone automatic climate appears on higher trims or as an option. Cruise control is standard, with adaptive cruise limited to previous top grades that were dropped for 2026. Front and rear parking sensors come on all trims. A reversing camera or 360-degree view is available only on mid-to-high grades. No automatic emergency braking, blind-spot warning or lane-keep assist is listed on any 2026 trim. Fatigue detection is standard. Soft-touch materials and a multi-function leather wheel are present, with fabric seats lower down and leatherette plus driver power adjustment higher up. The layout feels familiar and straightforward for daily family use, though the interface is basic.
Boot space measures 548 litres with the rear seats up. The 40/60 split-folding rear bench expands the load area for larger items, though the floor is not fully flat when folded. A hard parcel shelf and roof rails are fitted. The space is regular enough for family luggage or shopping runs.
Payload sits at about 455 kg based on the difference between gross vehicle weight of 1880 kg and kerb weight of 1425 kg on automatic models. No braked or unbraked towing figures appear in published specifications. The suspension is a standard MacPherson front and multi-link rear setup with no reinforced or heavy-duty options listed. Cooling is conventional. The car suits light family or occasional load-carrying duties rather than regular work or towing.
The cabin is a practical five-seat layout with an openable panoramic sunroof standard across all grades. Lower trims use fabric seats with manual adjustment. higher grades switch to leatherette, add driver 6-way power adjustment with lumbar support, and front seat heating. Dual-zone automatic climate control is available on upper trims along with rear air vents. Soft-touch coverage appears on some surfaces, multi-function leatherette steering wheel is fitted, and ambient lighting is on higher grades. Rear centre armrest and cupholders are deleted on this generation. Overall it feels roomy for the class but uses hard plastics and firmer seats without ventilation, massage or advanced wellness features.
