| Sporty character One car - a wealth of options. There are two engines available for the Jetta. A 75 kW (102 PS) petrol engine represents the entry-level option. Equipped with a 5-speed manual gearbox, it ensures optimum transmission of power, with short, well definced gear changes. With this engine under the bonnet, the saloon can reach a top speed of 186 kph and can be accelerated from 0 to 100 kph in just 12.2 seconds. |
High-pressure diesel The 1.9 litre TDI with ‘Pumpe Düse’ direct injection technology eliminates any compromise – you can have performance as well as exceptional economy. It develops impressive power of 105 PS and torque of 250 Nm at 1900 rpm and accelerates from 0 to 100 kph in just 11.8 seconds. The diesel engine is available with the revolutionary 6-speed automatic DSG gearbox that combines a 6-speed gearbox with all the advantages of an automatic and manual gearbox. |

|
| Optimum protection They have thought of everything in terms of safety on the Jetta : airbags for the driver and front passenger, curtain airbags at front and rear and side airbags at the front are included as standard. Disabling of the front passenger airbag also makes it possible for the tiniest passengers to be accommodated in child-seats beside you. Side airbags are also available for rear passengers (Comfortline). |
Convenient storage The front centre armrest supports comfortable posture and contains an integral storage compartment with two cup-holders at front and two at rear along with two AC vents at the rear. |
|
|
| Perfectly entertaining More driving pleasure comes with the RCD 500 radio which includes a dash-mounted MP3 compatible 6-disc CD changer and 10 loudspeakers. |
Helpful lighting The light and sight package includes automatic driving light control with a “coming home” and “leaving home” function as well as an automatically dimming rear view mirror, two lights in the front footwell and a rain sensor (Comfortline). |
|
|
| Top-class in every way Driving as if on rails – a standard feature with the Jetta. With longitudinal and transverse dynamics coordinated separately from one another by means of the four-link rear suspension, the result is extremely stable cornering. Minimum roll as a result of separately mounted shock absorbers and springs, making the fascination of driving complete.
