New VW Jetta

With the emerging success of new cars by VW in India Volkswagen is planning to launch all new VW Jetta by mid 2011.The car will a whole new design and a very dynamic image.According to the company officials the car has been substantially re-engineered and is based on the NCC coupe. It will be based on the VW golf platform, but will not be sharing any of its components.






The new Jetta has a aggressive front stance and the front end resembles  with that of its siblings, polo and vento.The new features includes a all new bumper,new twin lamp headlamps,a new front grille.However the headlamp lacks the facility of projector headlights or xenon lamps,and gets the usual clear lens lights. It also gets a feature of signal lamps integrated into the mirror.

The headlamp unit will also be equipped with high intensity halogen lamps, which also has daytime running lights, a feature found in expensive cars.


The rear end of the car has nothing more to choose, it is also a very fresh design but the tail lights look more like an Audi rather than VW.
  New features includes new bumper,trunk integrated license plate and a new twin exhaust pipe.The trunk space has been reduced to 510lts from previous 530lts which is almost marginal.The big coupe styled rear windshield offers brilliant visibility.A very new feature of the car is that a new illumination geometry illuminates the lower license plate and the trunk area together.Note the special reflectors integrated into the bumper.The boot is sculpted aerodynamically to reduce and subject the drag force downwards to the road.  


 The interior has set a new benchmark in terms of quality, which is simply class leading.Some of the bits are carried from Passat, the two tone black and beige interiors looks luxurious along with the chrome inserts in the dashboard. The dashboard is inclined by a few degrees to the driver side for easy reach of he driver.Gear lever position is ergonomically designed.

Bluetooth connectivity gets standard on the car, note the controls for receiving the calls, volume up and down and microphone mounted on the steering wheel.The steering also has the controls for stereo system.










The instruments again remind you of the traditional VW design used in many VW cars like Polo and Vento, however their is a trip computer between the instruments pods, which features ambient temperature, digital fuel gauge, trip meters, average fuel consumption, and distance the car can travel with the fuel inside the tank.




The car is equipped with a touch screen bluetooth stereo system with an auxiliary provision,USB and six loud speakers, the higher trim variants will be facilitated with satellite navigation system which is unlikely for India ,the basic variants will not get a automatic climate control system and will equipped with a manual control for the AC,however higher versions of the car will be equipped with automatic climate control AC and also heated seats.


The new Jetta is high on safety features, which is consistent for Europeanized cars. Six airbags comes as standard, for proper inflation of airbags the company has provided a special sensor for detecting crash, ESP(Electronic stabilization program), the car is provided with special accelerometers with detects the stability of the vehicle at high speed and stabilizes the car. Disc brakes on all wheels are standard along with ABS










The car is spacious from inside the rear legroom and headroom are decent and the seats are comfortable with good reclining angle.The trunk capacity is 510 lts.


The car is available in 6-speed manual variants and six speed automatic transmissions.The automatic version will be equipped with DSG system which consists of dual clutch for precise engagement. The Indian spec model will be available in 3 engine options:
1. 2.0lts  115Bhp-Petrol(For higher fuel efficiency compared to other engines)
2. 2.0lts  140Bhp-TDi Diesel
3. 2.5lts  170Bhp-Petrol


The engine options mentioned are approximated from the options available in european and american markets. The company might give other engine options as well.




The car will be launched any where between March to June 2011, and the price will be in the range of 15-18 lakh rupees.In a nut shell the car is very good with top class electronic safety equipments and solid build, with optimized comfort level, however the car is less value for money as compared to other cars in the same segment.
