Design and Features
The VW Jetta takes a big step in design this year, as it receives a more mature, “Audi-esque” look all around. The grille has been slimmed down dramatically while a new light bar appears on the rear of the Jetta. For the most aggressiveness, the GLI Model still exists to bring a sporty flare and manual transmission. For more design details, watch our detailed full review at the bottom of this article!
