Volkswagen Jetta facelift to be launched on February 17, 2015

Volkswagen India has revealed that it will launch the facelifted Jetta sedan on February 17, 2015.

The refreshed Jetta gets some cosmetic as well as mechanical changes. Revisions to the front of the car include a new grille, headlights with integrated LED daytime running lights and chrome inserts, restyled front bumper with a larger air dam and new fog lamps. At the rear there is a new bumper and restyled tail lamp clusters. The design of the car's alloy wheels has also been changed.

On the inside, the Jetta gets a new flat-bottom, multifunction steering wheel, reworked instrument cluster, redesigned air-conditioner vents, a new touchscreen infotainment system and piano black finish on the centre console and around the gear lever. Additionally, the car's seats have been reworked and sport a new fabric pattern.

Powering the Jetta will be the same 2.0-litre TDI diesel and 1.4-litre TSI petrol engines as the current model. However, Volkswagen could give them a bump in power and torque.

The Jetta will compete against the Toyota Corolla, Hyundai Elantra, Chevrolet Cruze and Skoda Octavia.
