Rowing with the gears of a 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 on the fact that we’re actually enjoy the fun. Yeah, fun. In the Jetta.
Never would we have expected this when Volkswagen first released the existing Jetta for that 2011 type year. As it boasted increased space, son-of-Audi styling, along with a more competitive price, the Jetta was soundly criticized for its utter dearth of character, relentlessly cheap-feeling cabin, gruff five-cylinder base engine, and chassis which had regressed to the Dark Ages with back drum brakes along with a torsion-beam back suspension.
Since then, VW has made incremental and significant improvements to its North American bread-butterer, and with 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. Enter the 2015 Jetta, with its midcycle update which brings new front and back styling, improved interior materials (including-at last-a soft-touch dash top), plus a new EA288 diesel engine in TDI models. Alas, it appears that the Jetta has now become the vehicle Volkswagen ought to have been building since the beginning.
Typically, the most significant aspects of the vehicle’s midcycle refresh are modified lighting and fascia factors, but in the 2015 Jetta’s case, they are arguably the least fascinating of the upgrades. A brand new grille focuses on the car’s wider, along with the new rear bumper, as new head lights give more widely offered 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 tires. To what extent the revisions help the Jetta’s looks is up to the viewer, however arguably it has become actually tougher to see the gap amongst the Jetta and also the one-size-up Passat.
The interior, when among the Jetta’s worst attributes, has turned into a convincingly nice area to spend time for 2015. It’s still Teutonically austere and also the door panels are hard plastic, but the dashboard seems much classier, dressed since it is with tunneled indicators and refractive piano-black trim panels. High-end content like navigation has trickled below higher trims to low- and mid-grade ranges, and interestingly, an available touch-screen infotainment system without navigation is really larger than that from the navigation-equipped cars. And also the seats on the S, SE, and SEL types we drove were firm and supportive.
