Rowing through 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 reality that we’re actually enjoy the fun. Yep, fun. In a Jetta.
Never would we've got expected this when Volkswagen first released the existing Jetta for that 2011 model year. While it boasted increased space, son-of-Audi styling, along with 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 which had regressed in the Dark Ages with back drum brakes plus a torsion-beam back suspension.
Since then, VW has produced incremental and significant improvements for 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 styling, upgraded interior materials (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 vehicle Volkswagen should have been building since the beginning.
Generally, the most critical aspects of the vehicle’s midcycle renew are modified lumination and fascia aspects, however in the 2015 Jetta’s case, they are arguably the least interesting of its changes. A fresh grille focuses on the car’s wider, as does the latest rear bumper, as new head lights give more widely obtainable LED daytime running lights along with the taillamps evoke its Audi-brand cousins. As well as the first time, even the least expensive Jetta rides on aluminum tires. To what extent the modifications enhance the Jetta’s appears is up to a viewer, nevertheless arguably it is ever harder to tell the gap relating to the Jetta and also the one-size-up Passat.
The interior, when among the Jetta’s worst features, has become a convincingly nice area to hang out for 2015. It’s still Teutonically austere and the door panels are tough plastic, but the dashboard looks much classier, covered as it is with tunneled gauges and reflective piano-black trim panels. High-end content like navigation has trickled down from higher trims to low- and mid-grade levels, and interestingly, an available touch-screen infotainment system without navigation is in fact bigger than those of the navigation-equipped cars. And the seats from the S, SE, and SEL models we drove were firm and supportive.
