Rowing with the gears of a 2015 Volkswagen Jetta S TDI’s six-speed manual transmission as we roll along the scenic two-laners of Virginia’s horse country, we marvel on the fact that we’re actually having fun. Yeah, fun. On a Jetta.
Never would we've got expected this when Vw first introduced the latest Jetta for that 2011 type year. As it boasted increased 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 base engine, and chassis that have regressed into the Dark Ages with rear drum brakes along with a torsion-beam back suspension.
After that, VW has produced incremental and significant enhancements for the North American bread-butterer, and with 2014, all U.S.-market Jettas featured four-wheel disc brakes and an independent rear suspension. Furthermore 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, having its midcycle update that brings new front and back design, improved interior components (including-at last-a soft-touch dash top), plus a new EA288 diesel engine in TDI models. Alas, it would appear that the Jetta has now become the car Volkswagen should have been building since the beginning.
Typically, the most significant aspects of a vehicle’s midcycle refresh are modified lighting and fascia factors, however in the 2015 Jetta’s case, these are arguably at least interesting of the changes. A brand new grille focuses on the car’s size, along with the latest back bumper, while new head lights give extensively offered LED daytime running lamps and the taillamps evoke its Audi-brand cousins. But for the first-time, maybe the lowest priced Jetta drives on aluminum tires. To what extent the revisions improve the Jetta’s appears depends on the viewer, however arguably it has become actually tougher to see the gap amongst the Jetta and the one-size-up Passat.
The interior, when one of the Jetta’s worst features, has turned into a convincingly nice area to hang out for 2015. It’s still Teutonically austere along with the door panels are tough plastic, but the dashboard looks far classier, covered which is with tunneled indicators and refractive piano-black trim sections. High-end material including navigation has trickled down from higher trims to low- and mid-grade levels, and interestingly, an available touch-screen infotainment system without navigation is actually larger than those of the navigation-equipped cars. And the seats from the S, SE, and SEL models we drove were firm and helpful.
