Sources: 12. Developments: 3. In early August 2026, FAW‑Volkswagen’s Jetta brand unveiled the Jetta M6, its first fully electric sedan aimed at China’s entry‑level NEV segment. The fastback‑styled model measures approximately 4.8m long with a 2.82m wheelbase and is offered in two powertrains—a 113 kW (154 hp) version and a 145 kW (197 hp) version—delivering top speeds of 166–172 km/h. Battery packs are supplied by CALB, though specific capacity and range details remain undisclosed. New details regarding the M6's interior reveal a minimalist design philosophy centered on high-tech digital integration. The cabin features a dominant central multimedia touchscreen, a separate digital instrument cluster, and a simplified central tunnel with wireless charging capabilities. Notably, the steering wheel utilizes vertical rotary controls, departing from previous Jetta model designs. The commercial launch is slated for the second half of 2026. This rollout follows a 13.1% drop in Jetta’s first-half-2026 internal-combustion sales in China, prompting an accelerated EV strategy to compete with domestic rivals such as BYD, Xpeng, and MG. The brand plans to roll out five new models, including four NEVs, by 2028 with an annual output of 400–500k units. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-09: Jetta M6 reveals interior details of new electric sedan The Jetta M6, Volkswagen's first electric sedan for the Chinese market, features a minimalist, high-tech interior with large digital displays and a new steering wheel design. 6 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/jetta-m6-reveals-interior-details-of-new-electric-sedan ### 2026-08-07: Volkswagen launches Jetta M6 electric sedan for Chinese market Volkswagen's FAW‑Volkswagen JV unveiled the Jetta M6 electric sedan in China, featuring fold‑flat seats, two motor options and CALB batteries, aiming to revive sales after a 13 % decline. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/volkswagen-launches-jetta-m6-electric-sedan-for-chinese-market ### 2026-08-03: Volkswagen's Jetta brand unveils M6 electric sedan for Chinese market Volkswagen's Jetta brand previewed the M6 electric sedan in China, detailing specs, pricing around 100,000 yuan, and a partnership with ChaPanda as part of a five‑model EV rollout by 2028. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/volkswagens-jetta-brand-unveils-m6-electric-sedan-for-chinese-market --- Cite as: Volkswagen Jetta M6 electric sedan launch in China.
