Rowing with the gears of an 2015 Volkswagen Jetta S TDI’s six-speed manual transmission since we roll across the scenic two-laners of Virginia’s horse country, we marvel at the reality that we’re actually having fun. Yeah, fun. On a Jetta.
Never would we've predicted this when Vw first released the existing Jetta for that 2011 type year. While it boasted improved space, son-of-Audi styling, along with a more competitive price, the Jetta was soundly criticized to its utter dearth of character, relentlessly cheap-feeling cabin, gruff five-cylinder basic engine, and chassis that have regressed into the Ancient with rear drum brakes along with a torsion-beam back suspension.
Since then, VW has created incremental and substantial enhancements for the North American bread-butterer, and by 2014, all U.S.-market Jettas featured four-wheel disc brakes with 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 brings new front and rear styling, improved interior components (including-at last-a soft-touch dash top), plus a new EA288 diesel engine in TDI models. Alas, it seems that the Jetta has now become the vehicle Volkswagen must have been building forever.
Usually, the most critical elements of a vehicle’s midcycle refresh are modified lumination and fascia factors, however in the 2015 Jetta’s case, they're arguably the least interesting of its upgrades. A brand new grille emphasizes the car’s wider, along with the latest back bumper, while new head lights give extensively obtainable LED daytime running lights along with the taillamps evoke its Audi-brand cousins. But for the first time, perhaps the cheapest Jetta drives on aluminum wheels. How much the revisions improve the Jetta’s looks is up to the observer, however arguably it is ever tougher to see the difference between the Jetta and the one-size-up Passat.
The interior, once among the Jetta’s worst features, has become a convincingly nice area to hang out for 2015. It’s still Teutonically austere along with the door panels are tough plastic, though the dashboard appears much classy, dressed which is with tunneled gauges and reflective piano-black trim panels. High-end material including navigation has trickled below higher trims to low- and mid-grade levels, and interestingly, an available touch-screen infotainment system without navigation is actually larger than that of the navigation-equipped cars. And the seats in the S, SE, and SEL types we drove were secure and helpful.
