More recently, VW gave the Jetta a more practical and comfort-oriented direction. The redesigned 2019 Volkswagen Jetta continues the trend toward greater size and comfort. The new Jetta is slightly longer, wider and taller than the outgoing model, with a longer wheelbase and shorter overhangs. The exterior styling is more distinctive, with sharp character lines, a larger grille, and a much larger presence on the road. There's more room and comfort for front passengers. The interior design is certainly more modern. The Jetta's trim levels come with a 6.5-inch infotainment screen with standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. Almost every Jetta comes with useful driver safety aids, including forward collision mitigation and blind-spot monitoring. For power, the Jetta continues to come with a turbocharged 1.4-liter inline-four (147 horsepower) that is connected to either a six-speed manual or an eight-speed automatic transmission. Acceleration is reasonably quick for the class, and the EPA estimates you'll get 34 mpg in combined city/highway driving, which is slightly better than last year. Given its improvements elsewhere, plus the smooth ride and roomy cabin, we think the Jetta is worth considering alongside other top models. With its new Jetta, VW is giving compact-sedan buyers precisely what they want: a larger and more comfortable interior, the latest in-car technology and high fuel economy.
