The 2019 Volkswagen Jetta Is Making A Last Stand For Sedans




The Volkswagen Jetta has been the brand鈥檚 best-seller in the United States for over three decades, but there鈥檚 a new challenger in its midst. And it鈥檚 sitting next to it in showrooms. Like so many compact sedans in recent years, the Jetta has been surpassed by an SUV, the Tiguan, which takes up about the same amount of floor space, but provides seating for seven and plenty of stuff above it. But the Jetta鈥檚 not down for the count. With an all-new 2019 model on sale now, it managed to squeak out a win in July by a couple of hundred units. As popular as it was, the last-generation Jetta was a watered-down effort designed to compete on cost in the U.S., and it was missing the premium feel of previous editions. The new one is built on the same modular platform used by the Golf and Audi A3, not to mention the Tiguan and Atlas, and is a step back in the right direction. 19,440, undercutting most of its competitors. 800. All-wheel-drive isn鈥檛 available, and neither is a high performance GLI version.





The Jetta features crisp, unadventurous styling inside an out. It looks like a freshly-pressed business suit. Nature would be appalled by all the straight lines, but it鈥檚 a well-made outfit. High end trim levels can be had with ambient lighting and a full digital instrument cluster that glitz and tech it up. All of the controls would feel right at home in a far more expensive car. 450 option on the entry-level Jetta, but standard on others. The second-from-the-top SEL that I tested adds radar adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assist, plus leatherette upholstery. The turbo engine is smooth and quiet, but a little more punch would be welcome on highway merges. Its efficiency is excellent, however, and won鈥檛 leave you wanting for VW鈥檚 long-gone diesels. The Jetta is EPA rated at 34 mpg combined and 40 mpg highway, and easily hits those marks. Ride quality is equally impressive, delivering an upscale blend of comfort and poise. The Jetta loves the highway, as German cars should, and can still handle a smack from a good old American-size pothole downtown. It鈥檚 not a thrill-seeker, but it won鈥檛 complain much if you are. Even without the display behind the steering wheel, VW鈥檚 latest infotainment system is a delight. It鈥檚 equipped with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, has a responsive touchscreen and, most important, knobs for both volume and tuning. Because on-screen icons can never properly replace either of those.

Nearly 12 years ago, I bought my second Volkswagen; a then brand new 2004 Jetta TDI Diesel Sport Edition (TL:DR鈥娾€斺€奿t鈥檚 (supposedly) not one of the models caught up in diesel-gate; those are cars from 2006/7 onwards). I was very happy with the Jetta. I could drive from Vancouver, BC to Portland and almost all the way back on one tank of diesel. In my 12 years of ownership, I have 57,000 kilometers (35,000 miles) on the car (less than 5,000kms per year (3,100 miles)). That鈥檚 not a lot. Most of that is highway driving too, as I don鈥檛 drive much in the city. I figured I鈥檇 own this car for about 15 years, and that looks to be the case. So why, if I have such a satisfied experience with my Jetta, would I never buy another VW car again? Two things. First, the entire dieselgate situation has severely鈥娾€斺€奱nd I mean severely鈥娾€斺€妔haken my trust in the company as a whole.
