The Volkswagen Jetta always cuts an excitingly good figure. Its sporty silhouette and well proportioned lateral lines give it a look that is simply irresistible, as do the striking front end, the sporty radiator grille and the bumpers that are completely painted in the body colour. A stylish design as far as the eye can see. The Volkswagen Jetta perfectly combines the assets of a top-class saloon with the clear attributes of a compact class car, and it inspires with supreme quality. You can see this with a simple glance at the selected details, for example the chrome strips on the vanes, or the tinted side windows and rear window, which absorb up to 65% of the light.

The
VW Jetta has far more space than your average car. From the drivers seat all the way back to the rear. Passengers in both the front and the rear will appreciate the ample knee space. With a little more luggage, the boot comes into its own with a capacity of 510 litres. And if you need to carry even more, the backrest can be folded down, allowing you to practically load the goods through. Keep a cool head, or do you prefer it nice and warm? With the "Climatronic" air conditioning system, you can change from one pleasant climate zone to another at the touch of a button. The temperature is electronically controlled, and each side of the car is controlled independently of the other. While you concentrate on driving, an air quality sensor monitors the quality of the outside air and automatically switches to air recirculation mode if this is necessary.

That makes sporty driving fun. Tried-and-tested TSI technology in the Jetta generates maximum power even from a small displacement and it does so with minimum fuel consumption. The direct injection petrol engine is efficiently charged with either a turbocharger or with a combination of turbocharger and compressor. That enables the fuel to be burned so efficiently that the output of the TSI engines is significantly higher than that of conventional, naturally aspirated engines.
The Jetta with BlueMotion Technology impresses with greatly reduced fuel consumption and lower emissions despite putting in a more dynamic performance. This is made possible by intelligent technology that reduces the engine idling speed. By the longer transmission ratio in the higher gears. By the tyres which have been optimised with respect to rolling resistance. And not least by the gear-change recommendation indicator assuming you follow its advice by engaging the most efficient gear.

The four-link system accurately controls the longitudinal and lateral movement of each rear wheel individually. Refinement is further improved as the system is mounted on a lightweight sub-frame. This means suspension movement is isolated from the body. Occupant benefits include greater comfort, less body roll in corners and, an involving, nimble chassis with enhanced stability. The dusk sensor system is fitted close to the rain sensor, behind your internal mirror. It detects light levels and automatically turns on the dipped headlights when the levels are low for instance, when you are driving through a tunnel, at night, or when dusk sets in. Your headlights must be switched on for the dusk sensors to work.
