Two years ago (in 2011), the German concern Volkswagen decided to completely modernize its legendary model called the Jetta. Since that time, a car with a 30-year history has been produced in a completely new look and with a new "filling." According to car owners, the technical characteristics of the Volkswagen Jetta are quite decent, so today we decided to pay special attention to this model. So, meet the sixth generation of the legendary German sedans.
Appearance
The design of the novelty turned out to be really attractive. The car was not without aggression, so the circle of customers expanded. Front updates touched almost everything. Now the front bumper is visually divided into 2 parts, and on the sides you can see two guns of fog lights. The lower air intake is located below the entire perimeter of the bumper. What is noteworthy, the car completely got rid of chrome parts. In general, thanks to these changes, the novelty looks quite prestigious and elegant.
Dimensions and capacity
Finally, the dimensions of the body in the new generation were not copied from the Golf. Now the car has become longer by 7.4 centimeters, which allowed to increase the luggage compartment to 510 liters. The wheelbase at the same time increased to a mark of 165 centimeters.
Specifications of the Volkswagen Jetta
It is worth noting that the new generation of cars was designed with maximum fuel economy in mind. If we compare the new product with previous generations, now it consumes 20 percent less fuel. But this applies mainly to BlueMotion trim levels equipped with start-stop systems and a recovery system. But the rest of the engine line is no less economical. As for the base turbodiesel engine with a capacity of 105 horsepower and a volume of 1.6 liters, it consumes about 4.2 liters of diesel per 100 kilometers. This indicator is indicated for a mixed mode of operation (city - highway - city).
The injection engine with a volume of 1.2 liters and the same power of 105 "horses" is not far behind in performance. This power plant consumes 5.4 liters of gasoline per hundred. If we talk about high-speed specifications, the Volkswagen Jetta with this unit is able to accelerate to 190 kilometers per hour. By the way, this engine is equipped with a turbocharging system and has direct fuel injection. Due to this, the novelty also has such acceptable technical characteristics.
Volkswagen Jetta can be equipped with more powerful engines. Among them - a turbodiesel unit with a capacity of 140 horsepower, as well as three gasoline engines with a capacity of 122 to 200 horsepower. All motors are equipped with a DSG robotic gearbox . But the Volkswagen Jetta Concept-Line equipment with a 105-horsepower injection engine will be equipped with a manual gearbox. However, this equipment is not a disadvantage for Russian motorists.
And finally, about the spare parts. Volkswagen Jetta is officially supplied to the domestic market, so that the right parts can be found in any specialized store (and in a huge assortment). So, Russian car owners will definitely not have problems with the choice of spare parts.
