The All-New 2011 VW Jetta: Modernized to Meet Today’s Standards

The Jetta is Volkswagen’s version of the compact family sedan. It started off the production line in 1980 and has been growing and growing ever since to compete with more modern rivals like the Honda Civic. Recently, Volkswagen has announced the new 2011 Jetta which, at first glance, looks like a very exciting car that raises some questions. “Is it as exciting as it sounds?” and “What new features make it exciting?” Well, here are some of them.

1. Styling-The styling of the new Jetta definitely looks more modern and gives it a fresh new look. Volkswagen gave the Jetta a completely new outfit using a styling language similar to the styling language on the mkVI GTIs and Golfs. Compared to the 2010 Jetta, the new one has a completely different look, making it a bit more understated and mature.

2. interiors-The entire interior of the new Jetta looks similar to its predecessor, but with minor tweaks added here and there. There are a few more inches of legroom for rear seat passengers due to the car’s elongation, allowing them to have a more comfortable ride. Volkswagen has also designed the navigation system to be slightly smaller and shaped the gear lever into a more comfortable shape for the driver. In general, the interior of the car has a feeling of high-quality material and has much more space.

3. Price-The best thing about the 2011 Jetta is its value for money. There are three models with the entry level being the S model, followed by the SE model and finally the SEL model. The entry level is priced at around $15,995, which is considerably less expensive than the 2010 Model S priced at around $20,995. The SEL model, with all available options, starts at $24,865 and includes leatherette-trimmed seats, a navigation system, and a 2.5-liter I5 engine that makes about 170 hp.

Overall, I think the 2011 Volkswagen Jetta has definitely been updated and modernized to fit today’s standards. It is a very good value for money that will give it an edge over its competition and offers a lot of fun, comfort and convenience to its owner whenever they need to get from point A to B.
