The Volkswagen Sagitar (Chinese: 大众速腾; pinyin: Dàzhòng Sùténg) is a compact sedan produced by FAW-Volkswagen since 2006. The first 2 generations largely followed the design of the global Jetta, using the A5 (PQ35) platform from Mk5 to Mk6. For the Mk7 version, the Sagitar is still similar to the global Jetta (using the MQB A1 platform) except with a longer wheelbase of 2731mm.
Starting from the third known Jetta generation, the global market Jetta was known as the Sagitar in China and has been produced since April 2006. The Sagitar name was used for the fifth, sixth and seventh generation Jetta as FAW-Volkswagen already used the Jetta name on one of its models.
According to Carsalesbase.com, the Sagitar has had 2.8 million units sold in China as of 2019.
