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 on the production line in 1980 and has since grown and grown to compete with more modern rivals like the Honda Civic. Recently, Volkswagen has announced the new 2011 Jetta which, at first glance, seems 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 an all-new outfit using a styling language similar to the styling language on the mkVI GTI and Golf. Compared to the 2010 Jetta, the new one has a completely different look, making it a bit more understated and mature.
2. interiors-Everything inside the new Jetta looks similar to its predecessor, but with minor tweaks added here and there. There’s a few more inches of legroom for rear-seat passengers due to the elongation of the car, allowing for a more comfortable ride. Volkswagen has also designed the navigation system to be slightly smaller and made the gear stick more comfortable for the driver. In general, the interior of the car has a high-quality material feel 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, is priced at $24,865 that includes leatherette-trimmed seats, a navigation system, and a 2.5-liter I5 engine that develops about 170 hp.
Overall, I think the 2011 Volkswagen Jetta has definitely been updated and modernized to bring it up to today’s standards. It has a very good value for money which will give it an advantage over its competition and offers its owner a lot of fun, comfort and practicality whenever he needs to get from point A to B.
