Rowing through the gears of the 2015 Volkswagen Jetta S TDI’s six-speed manual transmission as we roll over the scenic two-laners of Virginia’s horse country, we marvel in the truth that we’re actually wonderful time. Yeah, fun. In a Jetta.
Never would we have predicted this back when Volkswagen first introduced the current Jetta to the 2011 type year. While it boasted increased space, son-of-Audi styling, and a more competitive price, the Jetta was soundly criticized for its utter dearth of character, relentlessly cheap-feeling cabin, gruff five-cylinder basic engine, and chassis that had regressed to the Ancient with rear drum brakes and a torsion-beam back suspension.
After that, VW has made incremental and substantial improvements to its North American bread-butterer, and with 2014, all U.S.-market Jettas featured four-wheel disc brakes and an independent rear suspension. Furthermore 2014, another 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 which brings new front and rear styling, improved interior components (including-at last-a soft-touch dash top), and a new EA288 diesel engine in TDI models. Alas, it would appear that the Jetta has now become the car Volkswagen should have been building forever.
Generally, the most critical aspects of a vehicle’s midcycle refresh are modified lighting and fascia aspects, however in the 2015 Jetta’s case, they're arguably the least interesting of the updates. A new grille focuses on the car’s wider, as does the latest back bumper, while new headlamps give extensively obtainable LED daytime running lights and the taillamps evoke its Audi-brand cousins. As well as the first-time, perhaps the cheapest Jetta rides on aluminum wheels. How much the revisions increase the Jetta’s appears is up to a observer, but arguably it has become actually tougher to tell the difference between the Jetta and the one-size-up Passat.
The interior, once among the Jetta’s worst attributes, has turned into a convincingly nice place to hang out for 2015. It’s still Teutonically austere and also the door panels are tough plastic, however the dashboard seems far classier, dressed as it is with tunneled gauges and reflective piano-black trim sections. High-end content such as navigation has trickled down from higher trims to low- and mid-grade levels, and interestingly, an available touch-screen infotainment system without navigation is actually bigger than that from the navigation-equipped cars. And also the seats on the S, SE, and SEL types we drove were secure and helpful.
