One of the world’s most successful sedans, the Jetta, is back in an updated form. The Jetta was first introduced in South Africa in 1980. Since then over 273 000 units of Jettas have been sold locally.
The Jetta is offered in three different trim levels: Trendline, Comfortline and Highline.
The engine line-up remains unchanged with three petrol engines (1.2 TSI 77 kW, 1.4 TSI 90 kW and 1.4 TSI 118 kW) and two diesel engines (1.6 TDI 77 kW and 2.0 TDI 103 kW).
Designers have redesigned the car to make the new Jetta sportier and modern. The aerodynamics have been improved resulting in 10% reduction of the air drag. The interior design has been refreshed to ensure that the new Jetta is more sophisticated than before. The instrument cluster, steering wheel, upholstery materials (Trendline derivatives only) and accents are all new.
One of the many attributes of the Jetta is its interior, which bridges over to the next higher class with its ample space, sophisticated look and good ergonomics with intuitive controls. All of these attributes have been further perfected in the new Jetta. The new Jetta is characterised by new instruments in a sporty tube look, multifunction display in the instruments, a new generation steering wheel, new accents for the centre console, elegant high-gloss black trim around the gear shift lever, new chrome accents (varies by derivative), redesigned controls for the air nozzles, ambient lighting (only available as an option with Highline derivatives) as well as designs for the seats and door trim.
