Rowing through the gears of the 2015 Volkswagen Jetta S TDI’s six-speed manual transmission since we roll along the scenic two-laners of Virginia’s horse country, we marvel at the reality that we’re actually enjoy the fun. Yep, fun. In a Jetta.
Never would we have predicted this when Vw first introduced the current Jetta for the 2011 type year. While it boasted increased space, son-of-Audi styling, plus a more reasonable 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 into the Dark Ages with back drum brakes plus a torsion-beam rear suspension.
After that, VW has made incremental and significant enhancements to the North American bread-butterer, and with 2014, all U.S.-market Jettas featured four-wheel disc brakes and an independent rear suspension. Also for 2014, another EA888 1.8-liter turbocharged base four-cylinder engine forced the cantankerous 2.5-liter five-cylinder into retirement. Enter the 2015 Jetta, with its midcycle update that provides 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 would appear that the Jetta has now become the vehicle Volkswagen should have been building since the beginning.
Generally, the most important parts of the vehicle’s midcycle refresh are modified lighting and fascia elements, however in the 2015 Jetta’s case, these are arguably the least interesting of its changes. A brand new grille emphasizes the car’s width, along with the new back bumper, as new head lights offer more widely offered LED daytime running lights and the taillamps evoke its Audi-brand cousins. But for the first time, even the least expensive Jetta drives on aluminum tires. How much the modifications help the Jetta’s looks is up to the viewer, however arguably it is now actually tougher to see the difference relating to the Jetta and the one-size-up Passat.
The interior, when one of the Jetta’s worst features, has turned into a convincingly nice place to hang out for 2015. It’s still Teutonically austere and the door panels are hard plastic, however the dashboard seems much classy, covered which is with tunneled indicators and refractive piano-black trim sections. High-end material 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 bigger than that from the navigation-equipped cars. And the seats from the S, SE, and SEL types we drove were firm and helpful.
