New 2019 Volkswagen Jetta Unveiled in Detroit

The 2019 Volkswagen Jetta was unveiled in mid-January at the North American International Auto Show, and it quickly became a show favourite. This vehicle will be one of the most watched and anticipated models in the upcoming year. Indeed, the new 2019 Jetta is improved in every way, and compact vehicle buyers will want to take a look when it arrives at Bill Matthews Volkswagen this summer.

The 2019 Volkswagen Jetta is Built on a Whole New Platform

The new 2019 Volkswagen Jetta will be built on VW's new MQB modular platform, just like the Volkswagen Golf, Tiguan, and Atlas. This means that it will feature a wide range of improvements both in terms of versatility and driving dynamics. The 2019 Volkswagen Jetta will have a much larger footprint, and therefore more interior space. It will be powered by the current 1.4-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine that delivers 147 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque, which makes it one of the most powerful and efficient engines in the segment. A new 6-speed manual transmission will be offered, as well as a new 8-speed automatic. To learn more about the 2019 Volkswagen Jetta, contact us today at Volkswagen St. John's!
