A Closer Look at the Brand New 2019 Volkswagen Jetta

Ah, the Volkswagen Jetta. Everyone loves it, especially those of us looking for refinement, performance, driving pleasure, and style from our compact sedan.

The previous-generation Volkswagen Jetta checked off all these things, but the new model is by far the most accomplished Jetta generation to date. With a host of improvements inside and out, the 2019 Volkswagen Jetta was one of the most impressive models to be unveiled at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit in early January.

The 2019 Volkswagen Jetta Now Has a Lot More Interior Space

With the 2019 Volkswagen Jetta, you are getting what is sure to be one of the most spacious and versatile compact sedans on the market when it launches later this year. Thanks to VW’s modular MQB platform and an extended wheelbase, the 2019 Jetta has improved in every possible way when it comes to interior space. There is more legroom, headroom, and cargo space.

The interior has also been vastly improved when it comes to overall quality and craftsmanship. This may be a compact sedan, but it is certainly impressive when you step inside. Let’s put it this way: you won’t feel like you’re behind the wheel of a compact sedan.

Under the hood, buyers get a 1.4-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine that delivers 147 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. This engine can be paired with a six-speed manual transmission as in the previous generation, but the automatic gearbox option is now an eight-speed gearbox that will make the new Jetta more fuel-efficient while also ensuring improved performance.
