Outstanding Car 2015 Volkswagen Jetta Comprehensive Review Newest

Rowing from the gears of the 2015 Volkswagen Jetta S TDI’s six-speed manual transmission as we roll along the scenic two-laners of Virginia’s horse country, we marvel on the fact that we’re actually wonderful time. Yep, fun. In a Jetta.

Never would we've expected this when Volkswagen first introduced the existing Jetta for that 2011 type year. Though it boasted improved space, son-of-Audi styling, plus a more reasonable price, the Jetta was soundly criticized for the utter dearth of character, relentlessly cheap-feeling cabin, gruff five-cylinder base engine, and chassis that had regressed in the Ancient with rear drum brakes plus a torsion-beam rear suspension.

Since then, VW has made incremental and substantial enhancements to the North American bread-butterer, and with 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. Go into the 2015 Jetta, with its midcycle update which brings new front and rear styling, improved 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.

Usually, the most important parts of the vehicle’s midcycle refresh are revised lumination and fascia factors, but in the 2015 Jetta’s case, they are arguably the least interesting of its upgrades. A new grille focuses on the car’s size, along with the new back bumper, while new head lights give more widely offered LED daytime running lights and the taillamps evoke its Audi-brand cousins. And for the first time, even the lowest priced Jetta drives on aluminum tires. To what extent the adjustments improve the Jetta’s appears depends on the viewer, yet arguably it is now ever tougher to tell the difference amongst the Jetta and the one-size-up Passat.

The interior, once one of the Jetta’s worst features, has become a convincingly nice area to hang out for 2015. It’s still Teutonically austere plus the door panels are hard plastic, however the dashboard seems far classier, covered as it is with tunneled gauges and refractive piano-black trim sections. High-end material such as navigation has trickled down from higher trims to low- and mid-grade ranges, and interestingly, an available touch-screen infotainment system without navigation is actually bigger than those of the navigation-equipped cars. And the seats of the S, SE, and SEL types we drove were secure and helpful.
