For just two-thirds of the cost of the average new vehicle, VW's new '19 Jetta offers most drivers all that they need. And maybe more.
Yes…the '19 Jetta is all-new, and brings a new, mildly upscale look…a bit like a slightly smaller Passat.
And for a $23,000 window sticker, you get room for 5, ventilated imitation leather with heat in front, an 8-speed automatic, 16" alloys, a panoramic sunroof, heated and folding mirrors, blind-spot and rear-traffic alerts, forward collision warning, blind-spot alerts, and wait for it now…a 1.4 liter Turbo four-cylinder that delivers a legit 30 MPG city and 40…yes…40 Highway...on regular.
The surprise…in addition to the mileage? The quiet. As a 4-door sedan, VW's Jetta is going to be a bit more quiet than the average hatchback or SUV.
And the other surprise? Well, it's not really a surprise that VW still engineers a little more "fun-to-drive" into their vehicles…and the new Jetta doesn't disappoint.
It's a tight and light driving machine…equally at home on the open road, or urban traffic.
Need more? While the $23K "SE" will probably be VW's volume model, you can step it up into the mid and high $20's and get luxury features like 10-color ambient lighting, "Beats" audio, 17" alloys and real leather.
Parents of teens will also appreciate VW's "Car Net" system. It allows you to set speed and geographic boundary alerts, make emergency calls, and also can help you locate your Jetta in a parking lot, give you an analysis of your Jetta's mechanical health, and even alert you if you left your sunroof open and rain is moving into the area.
One other feature that VW's '19 Jetta offers is a transferrable warranty. Any unused portion of VW's 6-year / 72,000 mile bumper-to-bumper warranty is transferrable to the second owner.
But then, thanks to its pricing and features, VW still enjoys a pretty loyal customer base…so that transferrable warranty might just be a moot point! Follow AutoNSider on Facebook for review videos and more!
