Trendy Volkswagen Jetta 2015 Review Awesome Vehicle Latest

Rowing with the gears of a 2015 Volkswagen Jetta S TDI’s six-speed manual transmission as we roll across the scenic two-laners of Virginia’s horse country, we marvel in the reality that we’re actually having fun. Yeah, fun. In a Jetta.

Never would we've predicted this when Volkswagen first introduced the latest Jetta for the 2011 model year. While it boasted improved space, son-of-Audi styling, plus a more competitive price, the Jetta was soundly criticized to its utter dearth of character, relentlessly cheap-feeling cabin, gruff five-cylinder base engine, and chassis which had regressed in the Ancient with back drum brakes and a torsion-beam rear suspension.

After that, VW has created incremental and substantial enhancements to the North American bread-butterer, and by 2014, all U.S.-market Jettas featured four-wheel disc brakes plus an independent rear suspension. Furthermore 2014, the latest EA888 1.8-liter turbocharged base four-cylinder engine forced the cantankerous 2.5-liter five-cylinder into retirement. Enter the 2015 Jetta, having its midcycle update that provides new front and back styling, enhanced interior components (including-at last-a soft-touch dash top), plus a new EA288 diesel engine in TDI models. Alas, it would appear that the Jetta has now become the vehicle Volkswagen ought to have been building since the beginning.

Typically, the most significant aspects of a vehicle’s midcycle renew are modified lumination and fascia aspects, however in the 2015 Jetta’s case, they are arguably at least fascinating of the upgrades. A brand new grille emphasizes the car’s wider, as does the new rear bumper, as new headlamps give more widely offered LED daytime running lights plus the taillamps evoke its Audi-brand cousins. And for the first time, maybe the lowest priced Jetta rides on aluminum wheels. To what extent the adjustments improve the Jetta’s appears depends on a observer, however arguably it is now ever tougher to see the gap amongst the Jetta and also the one-size-up Passat.

The interior, once one of the Jetta’s worst attributes, has become a convincingly nice area to hang out for 2015. It’s still Teutonically austere plus the door panels are hard plastic, though the dashboard appears far classy, covered which is with tunneled indicators and reflective piano-black trim sections. High-end content like navigation has trickled below higher trims to low- and mid-grade levels, and interestingly, an available touch-screen infotainment system without navigation is in fact bigger than those of the navigation-equipped cars. And the seats on the S, SE, and SEL types we drove were firm and supportive.
