Rowing through the gears of the 2015 Volkswagen Jetta S TDI’s six-speed manual transmission as we roll over the scenic two-laners of Virginia’s horse country, we marvel at the fact that we’re actually enjoy the fun. Yep, fun. On a Jetta.
Never would we've got predicted this back when Volkswagen first launched the existing Jetta for the 2011 model year. Though it boasted increased space, son-of-Audi styling, along with a more reasonable price, the Jetta was soundly criticized for the utter dearth of character, relentlessly cheap-feeling cabin, gruff five-cylinder base engine, and chassis that have regressed in to the Dark Ages with back drum brakes plus a torsion-beam back suspension.
Since then, VW has created incremental and substantial enhancements to its North American bread-butterer, and with 2014, all U.S.-market Jettas featured four-wheel disc brakes with an independent rear suspension. Also for 2014, another EA888 1.8-liter turbocharged base four-cylinder engine forced the cantankerous 2.5-liter five-cylinder into retirement. Enter the 2015 Jetta, having its midcycle update which brings new front and back styling, upgraded interior components (including-at last-a soft-touch dash top), and a new EA288 diesel engine in TDI models. Alas, it would appear that the Jetta has now become the car Volkswagen should have been building since the beginning.
Generally, the most significant parts of a vehicle’s midcycle renew are modified lighting and fascia aspects, but in the 2015 Jetta’s case, these are arguably at least interesting of its upgrades. A new grille emphasizes the car’s width, along with the latest back bumper, as new head lights offer extensively available LED daytime running lamps and the taillamps evoke its Audi-brand cousins. And for the first-time, perhaps the least expensive Jetta drives on aluminum wheels. To what extent the revisions increase the Jetta’s looks depends on a viewer, but arguably it has become actually tougher to see the difference relating to the Jetta and also the one-size-up Passat.
The interior, when one of the Jetta’s worst features, has turned into a convincingly nice place to hang out for 2015. It’s still Teutonically austere and the door panels are tough plastic, but the dashboard seems far classier, dressed as it is with tunneled indicators and refractive piano-black trim sections. High-end material like navigation has trickled down from higher trims to low- and mid-grade levels, and interestingly, an available touch-screen infotainment system without navigation is actually larger than that of the navigation-equipped cars. And the seats in the S, SE, and SEL models we drove were secure and supportive.
