Rowing through the gears of an 2015 Volkswagen Jetta S TDI’s six-speed manual transmission since we roll over the scenic two-laners of Virginia’s horse country, we marvel in the fact that we’re actually having fun. Yeah, fun. In the Jetta.
Never would we have expected this back when Vw first launched the current Jetta to the 2011 type year. Though it boasted increased space, son-of-Audi styling, and a more reasonable 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 in to the Dark Ages with back drum brakes and a torsion-beam rear suspension.
Since then, VW has produced 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, the latest EA888 1.8-liter turbocharged base four-cylinder engine forced the cantankerous 2.5-liter five-cylinder into retirement. Enter the 2015 Jetta, featuring its midcycle update that brings 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 ought to have been building since the beginning.
Usually, the most critical aspects of the vehicle’s midcycle refresh are revised lighting and fascia aspects, however in the 2015 Jetta’s case, they are arguably the least fascinating of the changes. A fresh grille emphasizes the car’s wider, along with the latest rear bumper, as new headlamps offer extensively obtainable LED daytime running lights along with the taillamps evoke its Audi-brand cousins. But for the first time, perhaps the least expensive Jetta rides on aluminum tires. To what extent the revisions improve the Jetta’s looks is up to a viewer, but arguably it is actually harder to tell the difference between the Jetta and also the one-size-up Passat.
The interior, once one of 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 hard plastic, however the dashboard seems much classy, covered which is with tunneled gauges and reflective piano-black trim panels. High-end material including navigation has trickled down from higher trims to low- and mid-grade ranges, and interestingly, an available touch-screen infotainment system without navigation is actually larger than that of the navigation-equipped cars. And the seats on the S, SE, and SEL types we drove were secure and helpful.
