Next-gen Volkswagen Jetta spied without camouflage

The next-generation Volkswagen Jetta has been spied without camouflage. The car was spotted at the Volkswagen factory in Mexico.

The new Jetta will be based on Volkswagen's MQB platform. It is expected to get a longer wheelbase than the outgoing car. 

Apart from the architecture, the car will feature styling updates. The images reveal a new front fascia that resembles that of the Volkswagen Arteon sedan. The car gets a hexagonal grille finished in gloss black, flanked by new headlights that appear to merge into it. A strong character line runs along the side and blends into the new wraparound tail lamps. 

The Jetta is also expected to get a refreshed interior as well as updates to the features and infotainment system.

The current Jetta is offered with a 1.4-litre, 4-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine and a 2.0-litre, 4-cylinder diesel with a choice of a 6-speed manual gearbox or a 6-speed DSG automatic transmission. Details of the engines that are likely to power the Jetta have not been revealed as yet.

Volkswagen has not announced any plans to bring the new Jetta to India.
