Volkswagen Jetta Models - Volkswagen Jetta Price List

EXPERT REVIEW:

Overview
The Jetta was launched by Volkswagen in India around the middle of 2008. It marked the manufacturer’s entry into the D segment car market. It is essentially a notchback based on the Golf platform.  In fact, it’s Golf with an extended boot. Spanning over five generations, around 8 million units of the Jetta have been produced till date. It is VW’s most successful car model in US and Canada. With the launch of the Jetta, VW intended to script a success story in India too. The Jetta hasn’t taken off in a big way in India though. The premium levied by VW on the Jetta is one of the main reasons holding prospective customers back from putting their money down on one.

Design and Features
In terms of design the Jetta has clearly relied on typical VW styling cues. The neat clean lines and perfectly proportionate execution of design makes it appealing to Indian tastes. It is one of the most conservatively designed cars in the market. From whichever angle one might look at it, this car fails in being offensive to the human eye. Make no mistake: The Jetta by no standards is a bland looker’ as it exudes sophistication, class, grace and taste unmatched by its competitors.

The Jetta is offered to buyers in three variants namely the 1.6 liter Trendline, 1.9 TDI Trendline and 1.9 TDI Comfortline. The Trendline variants come equipped with a host of features including 6 airbags, ABS, immobilizer,  8 speaker MP3/CD player audio system with aux-in facility, electronically adjustable/heated and indicator integrated door mirrors, height adjustable driver’s seat, central locking, halogen headlamps, LED tail lamps, and galvanized body to name a few.  The 1.9 Comfortline gets ESP, traction control, cruise control, paddle shifts, rain sensor wipers, Vienna leather seat upholstery, and an option of a six speed DSG gearbox in addition to the above features of the Trendline variants.

Driving abilities and Comfort
A short spin in it makes one aware that the Jetta is vying for the ’drivers car tag’. Driving this car is a fun experience. The handling prowess of this car is reminiscent of typical European saloon cars. The suspension setup aids the driving dynamics of this car. Further help in this department is extended by the wide 205/55 section tyres that the Jetta sports on 16’ alloys. The electro-mechanical power assisted steering offers loads of feel and is precise.  On straight roads the car gives a well planted feedback. The driving abilities of the Jetta egg you on to indulge in spirited cornering on ghat sections.

Irrespective of whether you occupy the driver’s seat or the rear one, the Jetta doesn’t disappoint with respect to ride quality.  An independent multi-link suspension at the rear ensures a smooth ride at high speeds. At low speeds it’s the opposite though. The slightly stiff suspension setup keeps the passengers updated about the road surface they are driving on. The ride quality is definitely not in the league of its rivals. The Jetta is much better off at satisfying your corner cravings.

Engine
The Jetta is offered to buyers with a petrol and diesel engine options. The petrol variant gets powered by 1.6 liter engine which produces a max power of 102PS@5600rpm and max torque of 148NM@3800rpm. The 1.9 liter TDI engine which powers the diesel variant utilizes ’Pump Duse’ direct injection technology to push out a max power of 105PS@4000rpm and max torque of 250Nm@1900rpm. Both the engines have a four cylinder configuration. Volkswagen claims a 0-100 timing of 12.2 seconds for the petrol and 11.9 seconds for the diesel variant. Both the variants are capable of attaining a top speed close to 186kph.

The Competition
The 1.6 Trendline is priced at around Rs.14.7 lakhs (on-road Mumbai) while the 1.9 Trendline and Comfortline variants retail for around Rs.16 and 19 lakhs (on-road Mumbai) respectively.  Its competitors include the Toyota Corolla Altis, Skoda Laura, and the Honda Civic.  In comparison to its rivals, the Jetta is one of the best executive cars in its segment and a well-rounded product. Its European finesse cannot be matched by its ’value for money’ Japanese rivals.
