The new generation Volkswagen Jetta has been launched in Ireland at a starting price of €21,985, writes Trish Whelan.
The car is completely redesigned and is longer, with a longer wheelbase that provides substantially increased legroom in the rear.
The car has a range of petrol and diesel powertrains, from the 105hp 1.2 TSI to a 140hp 2.0 TDI. The most efficient engine is a 105hp 1.6 TDI with a 4.5L/100km economy and an A CO2 band rating here. All engines are A or B rated.
Exterior changes bring the Jetta in line with current VW styling cues, while the interior design is now similar to the Golf, in whose segment the Jetta sells.
There are three trim levels, Trendline, Comfortline and Highline. Standard features include ESP.
