The new VW Jetta: One of the Singapore’s best-selling cars gets even better

The Jetta is one of the world's most successful sedans with over 14 million units sold since 1979. The sixth-generation model has been among the top 10 most popular models in Singapore, since its launch in 2011. Now launching is a new Jetta that has been extensively redesigned and re-engineered. Designers created new front and rear designs (optional new xenon headlights and LED tail lights), aerodynamic experts reduced air drag by 10%, and new tyres improve rolling resistance. Electronic experts came up with new assistance systems and the body team achieved even better crash properties – the previous model already achieved a 5-star Euro NCAP rating.

The Jetta Trendline represents the entry to the Jetta range but it remains comprehensively equipped, with features such as six airbags, Electronic Stabilization Programme (ESP) and 16-inch alloy wheels all coming as standard.

One step up is the Jetta Highline, which combines an up market ‘Corn Silk Beige’ interior with a host of desirable features including cruise control, rain-sensing wipers, dual-zone climate control and a multi-function steering wheel.

Those who would like to maximize their driving enjoyment can opt for the Jetta Sportline, which offers 17-inch alloy wheels, a rear spoiler, sports suspension and steering wheel-mounted paddle shifts, together with ‘Titan Black’ leather upholstery. The Trendline, Highline and Sportline are all powered by a 122 PS TSI engine with a class-leading 200 Nm of torque, mated to a quick-shifting 7-speed DSG transmission.

At the top of the line-up is the Jetta Sport. This model comes with the multi-award winning 160 PS TSI Twin charger engine. Standard equipment on the Jetta Sport includes adaptive bi-xenon headlamps with LED daytime running lights, 18-inch alloy wheels, Vienna leather upholstery and an electrically adjustable driver’s seat.

Last but not least, interior designers have ensured that the successful model will make an even more sophisticated and comfortable appearance with new instruments, a new steering wheel, upgraded materials and fresh accents. That is how they have made the best Jetta ever.
