2011 Volkswagen Jetta | Details and prices

July 20, 2010 - PRLog -- Now, there is a new generation Jetta. Larger and more comfortable, sustainable and dynamic – with entirely new styling. As a tribute to the US market, in June Volkswagen  introduced the new model in a world premiere at New York’s Times Square.

Volkswagen is also showing its loyalty to America in its choice of location for the successful model’s international driving presentation – it is being held on the West Coast in San Francisco. The sixth generation Jetta  will begin its market introduction phase in the heart of California.



The saloon – developed in Germany and built in Mexico – makes great strides forward in both concept and styling. Never before was a Jetta this large. The new model is 182.7 inches long in the US version and 4.64 meters long in the European version, 57.1 inches (1.45 meters) tall and 70.1 inches (1.78 meters) wide. This makes the Volkswagen 3.54 inches (9 centimeters) longer than the previous model. The interplay of its exterior dimensions generates a powerful ratio of proportions. In parallel, the new Volkswagen "design DNA" sharpens its style. This has resulted in clear precise lines and athletically muscular surfaces, which give the saloon an image of timeless elegance and dynamic styling.

Designers and engineers have also crafted the interior right down to the last detail; now, the five-seater’s quality and perfection in details clearly go beyond class boundaries. The extended wheelbase of the five-seat Jetta has enabled a rear seating layout that is significantly more comfortable. Compared to the previous model, legroom has now increased by 2.6 inches (6.7 cm) to 38.1 inches (96.7 cm).

German engineering is the key word that captures the attention of many customers in the USA. German engineering and craftsmanship reflect the highest level of quality and efficient technology. The new Jetta is a prime example; a look at its range of engines (77 kW / 105 PS to 147 kW / 200 PS) makes this abundantly clear: As a turbodiesel with the latest common rail direct injection, it sets standards in fuel economy. The US version with a 103 kW / 140 PS TDI Clean Diesel (conforming to the BIN 5 emissions standard) attains a top fuel economy of 42 mpg Highway (combined cycle: 34 mpg); this makes the Jetta one of the most fuel-efficient vehicles on the market. In Europe, Volkswagen will be introducing a 77 kW / 105 PS engine as its smallest TDI in 2011. Its fuel economy in the BlueMotion Technology version: a sensational 4.2 l/100 km – a best value for a saloon in the 4.6 metre class.
