2010 Volkswagen Jetta Overview

Introduction

The Volkswagen Jetta is the least expensive German sedan/wagon in the North American market, available in sedan or wagon bodystyles, the Jetta offers something for everyone.

The Jetta is powered by three different engines, a 2.5-liter five-cylinder engine generating 170 horsepower, a 140-hp 2.0L TDI clean-diesel engine for those looking for maximum fuel economy, or a 200-hp 2.0-liter turbo in the Wolfsburg Edition. Buyers that go with the 2.5-liter engine can choose between either a five-speed manual transmission or six-speed Tiptronic automatic; while TDI and 2.0T buyers select from either a six-speed manual transmission, or a six-speed DSG auto with Tiptronic. All Jetta's come standard with many safety features including six air bags, anti-lock brakes, electronic stability program, traction control and tire pressure monitoring.

For 2010, the wagon gets a new look both inside and out. New headlights, hood grille, bumpers, fenders, wheels, interior door panels, steering wheel, instrument cluster and fabrics.
