VW's Jetta launches first electric sedan M6 in China's entry-level EV market

FAW-Volkswagen's Jetta brand has launched its first battery electric vehicle, the M6, entering China's entry-level EV market with a starting price of 79,800 yuan ($11,880).

Jetta launched the electric sedan on Thursday, offering 3 variants — the 465 Pro, 555 Max and 555 Ultra — priced at 79,800 yuan, 89,800 yuan and 99,800 yuan, respectively.

Pre-sales for the M6 began on September 28 at a starting price of 80,800 yuan. The launch price is 1,000 yuan lower, while the top trim's price remains unchanged.

Built on Jetta's in-house Jiesi architecture and dedicated electric platform, the M6 features a single-motor, front-wheel-drive layout. It measures 4,806 mm in length and has a wheelbase of 2,820 mm.

The entry-level 465 Pro has a 42.9-kWh battery and a 113-kW motor, delivering a CLTC range of 465 kilometers and a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 8.3 seconds.

Both the 555 Max and 555 Ultra feature a 51.9-kWh battery and a 145-kW motor, offering a CLTC range of 555 kilometers and cutting the 0-100 km/h sprint to 6.8 seconds.

The M6 uses lithium iron phosphate batteries supplied by CALB (HKEX: 3931) and takes 25 minutes to charge from 30% to 80%.

Driver assistance is among the M6's main selling points, but city and highway NOA (Navigation on Autopilot) are available only on the 555 Ultra.

The top trim uses the Journey 6M chip from Horizon Robotics (HKEX: 9660), with a vision-based system that also offers memory parking and reverse path assistance.

5-kW vehicle-to-load capability.
