rmc523 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 https://www.autoblog.com/2018/01/14/2019-vw-jetta-revealed-detroit-naias-49856/ The big news is the platform switch, with the Jetta hopping onto the MQB platform. MQB is so flexible it's almost misleading to call it a platform, since it underpins everything from the Atlas to the Golf, but it does mean the Jetta can pull goodies out of the MQB parts bin. For example, on SEL and SEL Premium trims you can get the fantastic Digital Cockpit display. Already offered on some Volkswagen and Audi products, it's an impressive sight in the cluster and surely will be a factor in some purchase decisions compared to products with smaller, less-versatile partially digital displays.Outside, there are sharp edges and familiar but attractive Volkswagen trademark styling queues. LED lighting is standard in the 2019 Jetta, and the sedan has grown in every dimension. The wheelbase is 1.3 inches longer, and it's also wider and taller (although we don't have those dimensions yet). In person, the camouflaged Jetta didn't seem enormous despite a nicely roomy back seat, so don't worry that it's jumped a size category or anything. Its overhangs are indeed shorter, which is great. The rear looks like a Corolla to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sullynd Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Don't care what it looks like, I will never buy a VW. Having owned one, I wouldn't take one if given to me. That said, this is pretty sharp. I see more Accord in it than Fusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rear lamps are pretty much the same as its sister company Skoda https://www.indiacarnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2016-Skoda-Superb-Saloon-rear.jpg Edited January 15, 2018 by MKII 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbone Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 The sedan doesnt stand out very much to me. It looks pretty much like the last few models. On another note, Im sure seeing quite a few Atlases around here lately. Not a bad looking vehicle but very Jeepish, so not surprising.
