Produced by FAW-Volkswagen in Chengdu, the VS7 served as the stretched three-row version of the VS5.[5] It uses the EA211 engine, a 1.4-litre turbocharged inline four cylinder making 150 PS (148 hp) and 250 Nm (184 lb ft) of torque.[6] The VS7 shares the same platform with the SEAT Tarraco and the Škoda Kodiaq.[7]

Currently, the Jetta VS7 is exclusive to the market in China, with no plans for it to be sold elsewhere.
