Volkswagen Jetta facelift pre-bookings open

Volkswagen dealerships have started accepting bookings for the Jetta facelift. The booking amount has been set at Rs. 1,00,000 and is fully refundable.

The facelifted Jetta gets some cosmetic changes such as a new grille, headlights with integrated L-shaped LED daytime running lights and chrome inserts, a redesigned front bumper with new fog lamps and a larger air dam, a new rear bumper and restyled tail lamp clusters. A new set of alloy wheels round up the list of changes to the exteriors of the car.

Coming to the interiors, the Jetta facelift gets a new flat-bottom, multifunction steering wheel, new instrument cluster, restyled air-conditioner vents, a new touchscreen infotainment system and piano black finish on the centre console and around the gear lever. The car also gets new seats with a new fabric pattern.

The Jetta is expected to continue with the same 2.0-litre TDI diesel and 1.4-litre TSI petrol engines as the current model. The car will rival the Toyota Corolla, Hyundai Elantra, Chevrolet Cruze and Skoda Octavia in the D1 segment.

Volkswagen is expected to launch the Jetta facelift on February 17.
