2019 Volkswagen Jetta First Drive: Better Jetta, Lower Price




Even in the crossover-crazed U.S. Jetta sedan is Volkswagen鈥檚 best-seller. In fact, it has been for 30-plus years. The Microbus and Dasher outsold the compact sedan in 1980, and VW鈥檚 pickup edged it in 鈥?1, but the Jetta has been on top every year since, with VW selling 3 million in the U.S. 1978. Now comes the seventh generation, and this time it鈥檚 unique to North America. The car has been dropped completely in Europe, where hatchbacks and wagons are more popular, and China gets its own version. The 2019 Jetta now rides on VW Group鈥檚 outstanding, flexible MQB platform, also underpinning the Audi A3 and TT, VW鈥檚 Golf/GTI, Atlas and Tiguan SUVs, the upcoming Arteon and various Seats and Skodas we don鈥檛 get here. Compared to the 2018 version, the new car is about an inch longer and slightly wider and lower and has shorter overhangs. The new shape is about as conservative as they come, even with the redesigned front fascia and standard LED lighting. The roof slopes back faster, giving it a more coupe-like profile; VW says an emphasis on tuning the aero makes for a 0.27 Cd, a 10 percent improvement. Still, a dramatic change it ain鈥檛.
