“Today marks the start of a new era for Volkswagen as well as for Jetta,” said Stefan Jacoby, CEO of Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. “The all-new 2011 Jetta is a class-up driving experience with the kind of styling, design and power underneath the hood normally found in more expensive luxury cars. At an incredibly attractive price, this car is sophisticated, fun to drive and practical.”
Engine and Transmission
The North American version of the all-new 2011 Jetta features the powerful and efficient German engineering drivers have come to expect from Volkswagen. Four engines will be available in the U.S. and Canada, including a 2.0-liter turbodiesel direct injection (TDI) Clean Diesel featuring common rail injection with 236 lbs-ft. of torque (320 Newton-meters). The engine runs as quietly like a gasoline engine, but yields the power of a sports vehicle achieving 0-60 mph in 8.7 seconds. Additional engines include the 2.0, 2.5 R5, so that as of 2011, the 2.0 TSI. All Jetta engines will be offered having a manual transmission as standard equipment. An automatic transmission may also be available with each engine version as an option. On the new 2.0-liter TDI and a pair of.0-liter TSI, Volkswagen will offer you the 6-speed DSG – one of the very advanced and efficient automatic transmission systems on the planet. In the U.S., S, SE, SEL and TDI versions from the Jetta is going to be available, as will a couple.0-liter GLI.
Exterior
The all-new 2011 Jetta has been completely overhauled, inside and out. Its new wheelbase and exterior length are significantly larger than its predecessor – resulting in superior performance, more space and greater comfort. At 182.7-inches long, 57.1 inches tall and 70.1 inches wide, it’s more than 3.5 inches longer than its predecessors. The interplay of exterior dimensions creates a powerful balance of proportions. In parallel, the brand new Volkswagen ‘design DNA’ sharpens the car’s styling. This has led to clear, precise lines and athletically muscular surfaces, which lend an ageless elegance and dynamic styling towards the sedan.
On the front-end from the car, the prominence of horizontal lines defines the look. The high-gloss black radiator grille combines using the car’s trapezoidal headlights to form a styling unit. Under this is the fully painted bumper, that is designed as cleanly like a sculpted surface. Below that, another cooling air intake and also the tray-shaped front spoiler provides the car a sporty finish. The upper front end section shows a strong transition in the v-shaped engine hood to the fenders about the sides; the shoulder sec
tion realized here derived from the NCC concept car, and provides dynamic and muscular styling.
The styling characteristics within the side profile of the Jetta meld into yet another interpretation from the ‘design DNA’ conceptualized by Walter de Silva, the Italian Head of Design for that Volkswagen Group and the German Head of Design for the Volkswagen Brand, Klaus Bischoff. A great example of the initial styling characteristics can be found in the shoulder or ‘tornado’ line and also the powerfully emphasized arches of the wheel wells. Formally, they intersect the large homogeneous surfaces, conveying a powerful dynamic image. Because of wide track dimensions, the wheel arches also form a precise transition – as if cut with a knife – up to the tires, which could be as much as 18-inches.
With integrated turn signal indicators, the styling from the outside mirrors emulates the bigger CC. Compared with the previous model, the all-new Jetta is continuing to grow in clarity and pre-eminence in the side profile. Harmonized surfaces and sporty shoulders dominate the rear section. Powerful in illumination and visually distinctive, the taillights are split up into two sections, extending on either side in the fender into the tailgate.
nterior
A vital benefit of the extended wheelbase is it resulted in a far more comfortable layout of the five-seat rear sitting area. Legroom has become an extended 38.1 inches, a 2.6-inch gain from the previous model. Customers searching for a more personalized touch can for the first time have interior accents changed out at a Volkswagen dealer.
Engineers went to work about the interior right down to the best details, providing that quality and perfection far beyond other vehicles in its class. A common conceptual thread through the car is the intuitive controls and well-arranged instruments. The new controls designs impress both visually and to the touch. The right hand rests ergonomically about the gear shift grip. Further up on the middle console are the newly designed and intuitive controls for climate, radio and radio-navigation systems. This console section is slightly inclined toward the driver for ideal alignment from the cockpit. Also in optimal view would be the round instruments. The multifunction display (trip computer) is situated between them.
The trunk bench seatback is split 40/60 and folds, increasing the car’s versatility. The tailgate can also be opened from inside the car with a remote unlock switch. Up to six airbags (two front airbags, two side airbags in front, two window airbags/thorax airbags in the region from the front side windows) are also found in the gear package.
Safety
Previous Jetta versions received accolades for safety with features like electronic stability control and tire pressure monitoring standard. The all-new 2011 Jetta continues to be further enhanced with much more protections and crash safety improvements.
