Rowing from the gears of an 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 having fun. Yeah, fun. On a Jetta.
Never would we've predicted this back when Vw first introduced the existing Jetta for the 2011 model year. While it boasted increased space, son-of-Audi styling, along with a more reasonable price, the Jetta was soundly criticized to its utter dearth of character, relentlessly cheap-feeling cabin, gruff five-cylinder base engine, and chassis that have regressed into the Ancient with rear drum brakes along with a torsion-beam rear suspension.
After that, VW has made incremental and significant enhancements to the North American bread-butterer, and by 2014, all U.S.-market Jettas featured four-wheel disc brakes with an independent rear suspension. Furthermore 2014, a new EA888 1.8-liter turbocharged base four-cylinder engine forced the cantankerous 2.5-liter five-cylinder into retirement. Enter the 2015 Jetta, featuring its midcycle update which brings new front and back design, upgraded interior materials (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 must have been building since the beginning.
Generally, the most significant aspects of the vehicle’s midcycle renew are modified lumination and fascia elements, however in the 2015 Jetta’s case, they are arguably at least interesting of the updates. A brand new grille focuses on the car’s size, along with the latest rear bumper, while new headlamps give more widely obtainable LED daytime running lights along with the taillamps evoke its Audi-brand cousins. And for the first time, maybe the lowest priced Jetta drives on aluminum tires. How much the modifications help the Jetta’s looks depends on a viewer, yet arguably it is ever harder to tell the difference amongst the Jetta and also the one-size-up Passat.
The cabin, when among the Jetta’s worst attributes, has turned into a convincingly nice area to spend time for 2015. It’s still Teutonically austere along with the door panels are hard plastic, but the dashboard looks far classier, covered which is with tunneled gauges and reflective piano-black trim panels. High-end content such as navigation has trickled below higher trims to low- and mid-grade ranges, and interestingly, an available touch-screen infotainment system without navigation is actually larger than that from the navigation-equipped cars. And also the seats on the S, SE, and SEL types we drove were firm and helpful.
