Volkswagen Jetta: Sophisticated Style and Precision German Engineering at an Accessible Price

(continued from above)
The all-new 2011 Jetta has been completely overhauled, inside and out. Its
new wheelbase and exterior length are significantly bigger than its predecessor
- resulting in superior performance, more space and greater comfort. At 182.2
inches long, 57.2 inches tall and 70 inches wide, it is more than 2.9 inches
longer than previous Jettas.
On the front end of the car, the design is
defined by prominent horizontal lines. The high-gloss black radiator grille and
the car's trapezoidal headlights help create a distinct look. Under this is the
fully painted, cleanly designed bumper. Below that, another cooling air intake
and tray-shaped front spoiler help give the car a sporty finish. The upper front
end section shows a powerful transition from the v-shaped engine hood to the
fenders on the sides; the shoulder section provides dynamic and muscular
styling.
A great example of the unique styling characteristics of the
Jetta is in the shoulder or "tornado" line and the powerfully emphasized arches
of the wheel wells. Thanks to wide track dimensions, the wheel arches also form
a precise transition up to the tires (up to 18-inches long). Harmonized surfaces
and sporty shoulders dominate the rear section. Powerful in illumination and
visually distinctive, the taillights are split into two sections, extending on
either side from the fender into the tailgate. The all-new Jetta also features
integrated turn signal indicators.
Comfortable Interior
A
key benefit of the extended wheelbase is a more comfortable layout of the
five-seat rear seating area. Legroom is now a class-leading 38.1 inches, a
2.7-inch gain from the previous model.
