Volkswagen Jetta
The Volkswagen Jetta is set to undergo a number of changes this year, and there’s plenty here to excite fans of luxury sedans.
You can expect a sportier appearance and improved fuel economy. It appears as if Volkswagen is wiping the slate and coming back with an more impressive sedan.
When the car was unveiled at the Detroit Motor Show this January, it was hard to ignore the additional chrome and extra LED lighting accents. There’s more than has ever been included on this vehicle.
It’s clear that this vehicle retains the qualities that made it such a big-seller in the years gone past. The widely accessible prices remain in place as well.
The vehicle will be powered by a 147-horsepower 1.4-liter four-cylinder engine, delivering 148 pound-feet of torque and a fuel economy of over 40 miles for the first in the history of the vehicle.
A sleeker body, improved powertrain and additional gears all play a big role in helping the vehicle achieve that milestone. The manual gearing system now has six speeds instead of the five it boasted in previous models. The automatic transmission edition boasts two more gears, leaping from six to eight. The automatic cars are now equipped with automatic start/stop as well.
A huge range of new features
The addition of many new features helps this vehicle walk the line between mainstream and premium vehicle.
You’ll have the option to add a host of safety features including blind-spot monitors, adaptive cruise control, active lane control, automatic high-beam headlights, and rear cross-traffic alerts. A rear-view camera is standard too.
It’s tough for sedans to become flamboyant enough to turn heads these days, but that doesn’t negate from the fact that this is a serious improvement to a vehicle that has already sold really well in the past.
It’s arguably the perfect choice for those dreaming of a high-quality sedan at an affordable price.
