The Jetta is one of the world's most successful sedans with over 14 million units sold since 1979. Last year alone, Volkswagen delivered 925,000 units -- this makes the Jetta the top selling car of the brand and of the entire Group. The sedan has also been the number 1 selling Volkswagen in America for decades. Now, at the New York International Auto Show (April 18 to 27), Volkswagen is presenting the world premiere of the US version of the Jetta that has been extensively redesigned and re-engineered; it will also be modified for Europe and arrive in Germany this autumn. Designers created new front and rear designs (optional new xenon headlights and LED tail lights), and engineers developed a new sporty and fuel-efficient TDI Clean Diesel (110 kW / 150 PS; 37 mpg combined). Aerodynamic experts reduced air drag by 10 percent, and new tires improved rolling resistance. Electronic experts came up with new assistance systems (Blind Spot Detection, Front Assist and Rear Traffic Alert), and the body team achieved even better crash properties (now 5 stars in US-NCAP testing; top results are also expected in the IIHS Small Overlap test). Last but not least, interior designers have ensured that the successful model will make an even more sophisticated and comfortable appearance (new instruments, new steering wheel, upholstery materials and accents). That is how we have made the best Jetta ever. The car will arrive at American Volkswagen dealers in September. In the powertrain area, three gasoline engines (85 kW / 115 PS, 125 kW / 170 PS and a GLI with 155 kW / 210 PS) and a full hybrid version (system power: 125 kW / 170 PS) will be offered along with the new generation TDI Clean Diesel with internal designation EA 288. These versions were also made more fuel-efficient based on improved aerodynamics and reduced rolling resistance.
