New electric car launched in China

Volkswagen has introduced the Jetta M6, a new fully electric vehicle, in China. Priced between 79,800 and 99,800 yuan (about 10,700 to 13,400 euros), the car was developed in partnership with the Chinese company FAW.

Strong demand for the new model

The Jetta M6 has already received over 10,000 confirmed orders just 19 hours after its launch. This indicates strong consumer interest in the new electric vehicle.

Jetta brand's first electric vehicle

The Jetta M6 is the first fully electric vehicle from the Jetta brand, which is a subsidiary of FAW-Volkswagen. The vehicle is available in three versions, with a maximum range of up to 555 kilometers according to the Chinese CLTC standard.

Performance and technology features

The base version of the Jetta M6 includes a 113 kW motor (152 horsepower) and a 42.9 kWh battery. The high-end versions feature a more powerful 145 kW motor (194 horsepower) and a 51.9 kWh battery. The most expensive version includes driving assistance for certain urban and highway trips under the driver's supervision.

Interior and convenience features

The interior of the Jetta M6 includes a 15.6-inch central screen and several Chinese AI assistants, such as Doubao, DeepSeek, and Qwen. The seats can be transformed into a relaxation space by lying down, and the vehicle can be charged from 30% to 80% in 25 minutes.

Charging and safety features

The Jetta M6 has an electric output of 3.5 kW, allowing it to power devices from the battery. The Jetta subsidiary promises coverage for accidents attributable to its driving assistance for the first year.

Future plans and export ambitions

Volkswagen has not ruled out exporting some Chinese models to Europe, as recently mentioned at the Paris Auto Show. The Jetta brand sold about 118,000 cars in China in 2025 and plans to launch five new vehicles by 2028, with four of them being electrified.
