Volkswagen is one of the leading automakers in the world, and right now is a great time for product here in the U.S. We have seen a great new 3-row SUV (Atlas) and a total makeover of the Tiguan crossover. Now we see the next-generation Jetta compact sedan, and what a winner this is. Jetta has moved to Volkswagen鈥檚 Modular Transverse Matrix (MBQ) platform joining the aforementioned product above. This allows for longer wheelbase, wider track, and shorter front overhang - all of which translates to a vehicle that rides better, handles better,and even looks much better than the model it replaces. Hands down, this is the best Jetta yet from its styling to its content and its manufacturing. Vehicles like this and the new Atlas and Tiguan (not to mention the fun little Golf) will make us forget about the problems VW had a few years back with its diesel program.
The new Jetta is powered by the 1.4T turbocharged 1.4-liter four cylinder TSI engine that features direct injection. It is raged for 147hp and 184 lb. The turbo gives plenty of power off the line as well as across the midband when passing. The engine is smooth and quiet and achieves quite good fuel economy at 30 mpg city and 40 mpg highway. The Jetta features a six-speed manual gearbox as standard equipment while upgraded models can get the new 8-speed automatic transmission with manual shift, sport mode, and start/stop technology. Suspension duties are handled by strut-type under the front with lower control arms and long-travel coil springs and torsion beam setup in the rear with telescopic dampers for better balance of comfort and handling. Brakes are vented discs up front and solid discs in the rear and the electrically assisted rack and pinion steering provides enough feedback to allow drivers to enjoy the drive. Sixteen-inch wheels and tires are standard with our tester arriving with stylish 17-inch alloy wheels with all-season tires.
Inside the 2019 Volkswagen Jetta we find a more driver-focused cockpit with comfort for up to five adults. Thanks to new platform and body growth there is more occupant and cargo space making for a more pleasant riding experience. Volkswagen has included all of its latest creature comfort features and our SEL Premium tester was loaded to the gills. We enjoyed leather seating and steering wheel, heated and ventilated front seating, new BeatsAudio premium sound system, and cool 10-color customizable ambient lighting system - Jetta brings the party to you. 18,545 for the base S model. 27,795. And in making an effort to win back customers, Volkswagen offers its People First Warranty of coverage for six years and/or 72,000 miles. The new Jetta rides and drives like a midsize sedan. It is still rated in the compact segment, but it certainly proved to us it is a step above. I would have to say this may be the best improved vehicle for this model year. It is easy to drive and offers a very comfortable ride but can also provide drivers a bit more excitement thanks to the peppy little turbo engine and superior handling. Hopefully, Volkswagen鈥檚 new marketing campaign has gotten new customers into the showroom.
