The all-new 2019 Jetta is based on Volkswagen’s Modular Transverse Matrix platform architecture, with a reshaped body, longer wheelbase, wider track, and a shorter front overhang. Its interior is redesigned for increased comfort while supporting a sophisticated, upscale design with more head, knee and shoulder room than the previous model. The new Jetta is powered by Volkswagen’s 1.4L 16-valve turbocharged and direct-injection TSI engine, making 147 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque, reaching peak torque at just 1,400 rpm regardless of transmission choice. A new Jetta GLI trim is expected to be announced in early 2019.
