From the beginning of May of this year, it has stopped rolling off the assembly line of the Gorky Automobile Plant Volkswagen sedan Jetta. According to Vedomosti, citing its own source in the industry, production was stopped due to a generational change in the model: in 2019, a new generation of four doors should enter the Russian market.

According to the representative of the Volkswagen concern, at the initial stage of the release new Volkswagen Jetta, cars will be imported to Russia. Presumably, dealers will receive the first deliveries in the second half of next year.
The prospect is rather distant, considering that a new generation of VW Jetta is already being produced abroad. However, as explained in the company, this is due to the fact that all cars put into circulation in the Russian Federation for the first time must be equipped with devices of the ERA-Glonass system, for this you need to conduct crash tests and get a new OTTS.
According to the publication, about the possible timing of the localization of the new generation Volkswagen jetta in Russia, the representative of the automobile concern refused to speak. Now production is established in Mexico and China. Presumably, the issue of releasing new items in the Russian Federation will be resolved after the results of sales of imported cars.
The car is now relevant for Russian market generation was produced at the facilities of GAZ in Nizhny Novgorod until the end of April 2018. As a result, the manufacturer managed to accumulate an impressive stock of Jetta, while it is reported that they are mainly designed for corporate clients who should have enough cars at least until the end of this year.
The new generation Volkswagen Jetta sedan in North America received only one petrol 150-horsepower turbo engine with a volume of 1.4 liters, its maximum torque is 250 Nm. It is paired with either a six-speed "mechanics" or with an eight-speed "automatic".

Compared to its predecessor, the Jetta's length has grown by 43 mm (up to 4,702 mm), width - by 21 mm (up to 1,799 mm), height - by 6 mm (up to 1,459 mm), and the wheelbase - by 35 mm ( up to 2 686 mm). The front overhang is now 10 mm shorter, the rear overhang has added 18 mm. At the same time, the volume of the trunk remains the same, it is 510 liters.
Now at the plant of the GAZ Group they are producing a liftback Skoda Octavia and crossover Skoda Kodiaq. Previously, the portal "Kolesa.ru" published: the price of the model Russian assembly varies in the range from 1,339,000 to 2,014,000 rubles. For comparison: the most affordable Volkswagen tiguan will cost clients from the Russian Federation at least 1,349,000 rubles.
The German Volkswagen is known not only for its quality and attention to detail, but also for the beauty created by designers and embodied in the company's cars. Jetta is no exception. A car that has been created for over 40 years, has gone through many transitions from generation to generation, has improved its driving performance, its appearance with each of these generations can rightfully be considered one of the best creations of the concern.
Place of assembly
The official production and sale of the Jetta on the territory of the Russian Federation began only in 2008, together with the opening of the conveyor for the production of the fifth generation of the car in Kaluga. The car was produced both with gasoline engines(with a volume of 1.4 to 2.5 liters) and diesel (with a volume of two liters). Gearbox choices ranged from five and six-speed manual gearboxes to six-speed automatic and six and seven-speed semi-automatic transmissions. The Euro NCAP test showed a maximum five safety stars for the Jetta.
The sixth generation has also recently been produced in Kaluga. It doesn't make much sense to paint undercarriage, since it has not changed much since the fifth generation.
Build quality
It is indicative that the owners do not have any objective quibbles about the assembly of the car - even the Russian assembly deserves praise from satisfied buyers. The interior plastic does not begin to creak even after prolonged operation, the car is not as susceptible to corrosion as some representatives of this segment, wide gaps and other defects in the body welding in some batches were also not noticed by the owners.
However, if we take into account that we live in Russia and we have to deal with Russian roads, then one serious drawback comes to light, which should have been dealt with at the Kaluga auto plant - the landing at the car is quite low. Recycling the suspension wouldn't hurt this vehicle to get a more ideal status in your segment.

In recent years, Volkswagen has positioned the VW Jetta model as the "people's" car of Americans and is gaining popularity. vehicle among the Europeans. For the Russian consumer, the Volkswagen Jetta is more of a fashion statement than a necessity. However, despite this, most domestic car owners are wondering where the Volkswagen Jetta model is assembled.
According to official sources, the Jetta is being assembled in Mexico. The fact is that the main sales market is located here and, for obvious reasons, the cars that are assembled for the United States are significantly different from those that are supplied overseas. The Germans are changing their ideology that the model should have the same performance, regardless of who will be its final consumer. Hence the difference in cost and trim levels between the American and European versions of the Volkswagen Jetta model.
The main differences between the "Russian" VW Jetta
Until recently, in order to answer the question of where the Volkswagen Jetta is assembled, it was only necessary to say about the plant in Germany. However, times are changing, and today the Jetta version for the Russian market is assembled at two factories: in Kaluga and in Mexico. The Mexican assembly of the Volkswagen Jetta is intended for the European and US markets. As a rule, it is a little more expensive than the Kaluga assembly, but the "European" has no adaptation for our roads and "Russian driving". Therefore, domestic car owners should not bother with the idea of purchasing a purely German assembly of the Jetta.
If we compare the build quality of the Volkswagen Jetta, which is sold in Russia, then it has a multi-link rear suspension, which is taken from Volkswagen golf... In the American version of the car, the suspension is a simplified version of the twisting beam. If we talk about the Volkswagen Jetta model, which is intended for the European market, then two types of CAN buses are installed here for the exchange of data between electronic components. In the American version, there is only one, however, the very quality of the models is very high.
In addition to this, the bodies of these versions are also designed to fulfill different requirements for passive safety... The Russian version uses soft plastic, the "European" has a hard finish in the cabin. Also, a domestic buyer can create a car assembly "by himself" by choosing optional equipment from the list. "Civilian" motorists can purchase only fixed configurations.
It is also worth saying that in addition to the Volkswagen Jetta of Mexican, Kaluga, German assembly, there is also a Chinese version. But, as practice shows, this is generally a kind of mix. It is only outwardly related to our and European assembly, otherwise it is a completely different car, since in the Middle Kingdom, as in India, such cars are driven exclusively accompanied by a personal chauffeur. That is why customers of the East are offered such custom-made options as rear climate control, a control system for rear passengers, with which you can control the front passenger seat, audio system and navigation.
Stages of production of the "Russian" car VW Jetta
If we talk about the Kaluga assembly of the Volkswagen Jetta, then it and its quality are fundamentally no different from the Mexican one. The fact is that the Volkswagen Group company carefully monitors the quality of the cars produced at its factories, regardless of their geographical location. The plant in Kaluga is equipped with all the necessary technological innovations and innovative equipment.
The production line, where the Volkswagen Jetta is produced, has its own welding workshop, in which the basic structure is created, then it is sent to the paint shop, where, according to the proprietary recipe, the structure is painted in the required color and then it is sent to the drying chamber. Next, the car is assembled directly, which consists of several stages:
- At the first stage of assembly, the cabin is installed, where the passenger seats, body doors, as well as interior trim.
- On next step the car is equipped with a power unit, transmission and completely undercarriage... It is worth saying that all parts that carry body elements and power plants are brought to the plant directly from Germany, so you shouldn't worry about their quality, reliable and operational durability.
- Further already assembled car Volkswagen Jetta moves to the next production site - the so-called sump. All the time the car is here, production supervisors examine it for any defects and shortcomings. If they have identified deficiencies, then the production unit is immediately sent either to the appropriate workshop for revision, or to scrap.
- Fully finished and complete car after passing a thorough quality control and technical condition, goes to dealerships for further sale.
Thus, today, regardless of where the Volkswagen Jetta car is assembled, it remains an example of German quality and European excellence in everything. In other words, if domestic car owners choose this particular car model for themselves, then as a result they will certainly enjoy not only the comfort and perfectly matched interior components, as well as optional equipment, but will certainly appreciate the reliability and adaptability of the VW Jetta.
Many cars are assembled in Russia, and lately there are more and more of them. Admirers of some brands refuse cars on principle Russian production... Say, ours will do everything worse and not as reliably as foreigners. Of course, it has always been assumed that the assembly of a car affects the performance of a car. This concept can be accepted, but it is better not to apply it to machines. After all, if the model is assembled in the country in which it will be sold, then it will be better adapted for local roads. Who knows the flaws of autobahns or bumps better than Russian engineers ?!
Today I would like to talk about the Volkswagen Jetta. This machine is becoming more and more popular every year. Let's take a look at how she gained such trust as appearance gave the model and where the Volkswagen Jetta is assembled. In general, do our engineers produce the German jett model on a par with the European ones, or is it worth believing the popular principles.
Countries where Volkswagen Jetta is assembled
New Volkswagen variant Jetta is created in only two countries. Both modifications of the model are available to our consumer. They are collected in Russia and Mexico.
Mexican examples are being prepared for the European and American markets. Compared to our assembly, they are somewhat more expensive. But our consumer should not pay attention to such standards. After all, Russian roads and European autobahns are heaven and earth.
When asked who collects Volkswagen Jetta for our market, the answer is very simple. It is made in Kaluga. We want to say right away that only cars of this assembly are best adapted to our roads and the driving of Russian drivers.
Judging by the test drives, the Mexican assembly does not differ at all from the Russian one. Both factories are equipped with the latest technology. All metal parts are brought from Germany, and in the car there are more than 70% of them.
Representatives Volkswagen in the Russian Federation set the price for the basic equipment of the car at 648 thousand rubles. It comes with a 1.6-liter 105 horsepower engine.
Our engineers have come up with a Conceptline package specifically for the Russian market. The transmission here can be of two options - a mechanical five-speed or six-speed automatic. This is fully consistent with the European version of the car. Also, for Russia, the car is equipped with a complete safety kit, power steering, infotainment system, air conditioning and an electric drive.
A special winter package for the Volkswagen Jetta model was invented for the Russian market. It includes heated mirrors, washer nozzles, spare wheel and discs marked 6J * 15 with decorative caps. Buyer can choose color range car of eight options. The most popular of these are Tornado red, Storm blue and Topaz brown.
The second package of options produced by Russian engineers is the Comfort package. It includes all of the above options, but with additional heated seats.
Also, the Technic version is available to our customer. It allows you to install anti-towing and anti-theft systems with optional immobilizer, CD / MP3 player and USB cables for iPod.
The cost of Russian complete sets of Volkswagen Jetta
Previously as basic configuration was a variant of Trendline. Due to the Russian assembly, it fell in price and costs 688 thousand rubles.
The Conceptline modification will cost its customers from 733,000 rubles, and the Highline is the most expensive. Russian engineers equipped it with a 1.4-liter diesel engine... It gives out power of 122 horsepower, which is quite enough for our roads.
As you can see, our masters did their best. They collect cars as well as Mexicans. Therefore, when buying a model, do not worry about its durability and quality.

Since February of this year, SKD has been carried out in Kaluga. I just watched it on purpose.
Answer from Natasha Solnechnaya[guru]
where is the Volkswagen plant in the Kaluga region
Answer from Lynx[guru]
You got strange answers about Mexico. for European consumption, the Jetta is assembled in Belgium. but the opinion of the "Russian" experts in European production is still not exterminated. mexico, so mexico. and in kaluga ... they pick polo with screwdrivers. ... just as few people know that there is a Toyota plant in France ...
Answer from Chaterrie[guru]
and now the correct answer.
The jets were really recently collected in Kaluga, with a screwdriver. And this happened before the signing of a new agreement on industrial assembly (Resolution No. 166, who is interested). Since a new generation of Jetta came out this year, the old ones were still collecting at the very least in Kaluga, but the new ones were really driven from Mexico, there is nothing strange about this. This is the only VW plant that currently manufactures a Jetta on a full cycle. As, for example, Spain and only it produces the Polo hatch, and Russia - the Polo sedan.
And next year, the production of full-cycle Jets will begin in Russia, but not in Kaluga in any, but in Nizhny Novgorod, at the facilities of GAZ, where some more models of the concern will also be assembled.

Now VW Jetta is assembled with a screwdriver in Kaluga
and the VW Jetta SportWagen has been assembled in Mexico since 2007
However, the Germans are making a serious bet on the sedan. No wonder Volkswagen has actually developed two sixth generation Jettas - "European" and "American".
By the way, there will be a third Jetta - Chinese: with a separate optional climate control and an audio control panel for the rear passengers. Indeed, in China, even a compact sedan is a limousine, which is often driven by a hired driver.
Even after the appearance of the fifth Jetta, these cars were produced at factories in Mexico and China and sold in different countries under the names City Jetta, Vento, Lavida ... Also because the fifth-generation Jetta, which debuted in 2005, turned out to be much more expensive than its predecessor. The car has grown in size, semi-dependent rear suspension changed the multi-link, numerous electronic equipment connected the CAN bus. The main production of the Jetta was concentrated at a plant in Mexico, later setting up a "screwdriver" assembly in Russia, India, China and South Africa. Machines for the European and American markets differed primarily power units- In the Old World, Volkswagen began installing direct injection engines on the sedan, and in the USA, the Jetta was offered with a five-cylinder in-line engine. And since 2007, the Jetta SportWagen has been sold in America - in Europe this car is known as the Golf Variant.
Answer from KIL[guru]
In Mexico
Answer from Kind eeh[guru]
All Jettas are assembled in Mexico, closer to the main sales market. However, the cars that remain in America are significantly different from those that crossed the Atlantic for our meeting in Nice. The Germans do not recognize the "one world - one machine" philosophy, which is so popular today. Rather, they interpret it in their own way. If the Jetta is more expensive in Europe than in the States, it is precisely because it is structurally a more complex car.
