Rowing with 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 at the fact that we’re actually having fun. Yep, fun. In a Jetta.
Never would we've got expected this when Vw first released the current Jetta to the 2011 type year. As it boasted improved space, son-of-Audi styling, plus a more competitive price, the Jetta was soundly criticized for the utter dearth of character, relentlessly cheap-feeling cabin, gruff five-cylinder basic engine, and chassis that have regressed to the Dark Ages with rear drum brakes along with a torsion-beam back 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 and an independent rear suspension. Also for 2014, a new EA888 1.8-liter turbocharged base four-cylinder engine forced the cantankerous 2.5-liter five-cylinder into retirement. Go into the 2015 Jetta, with its midcycle update that gives new front and back design, enhanced interior components (including-at last-a soft-touch dash top), and a new EA288 diesel engine in TDI models. Alas, it appears that the Jetta has now become the car Volkswagen ought to have been building forever.
Usually, the most significant parts of the vehicle’s midcycle renew are modified lumination and fascia factors, however in the 2015 Jetta’s case, they are arguably the least interesting of the updates. A brand new grille focuses on the car’s wider, as does the new rear bumper, as new head lights give more widely offered LED daytime running lights along with the taillamps evoke its Audi-brand cousins. And for the first time, maybe the cheapest Jetta rides on aluminum wheels. How much the modifications help the Jetta’s looks is up to a observer, nevertheless arguably it is now ever harder to see the gap between the Jetta and also the one-size-up Passat.
The interior, when among the Jetta’s worst attributes, has turned into a convincingly nice place to hang out for 2015. It’s still Teutonically austere along with the door panels are tough plastic, however the dashboard seems much classier, covered as it is with tunneled indicators and refractive 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. Plus the seats in the S, SE, and SEL models we drove were secure and helpful.
