Jetta
Technology
TSI petrol engine technology
With the latest in TSI technology, our petrol engines offer incredible acceleration and class leading fuel economy. From the efficient 118kW 1.4 litre TSI engine that features both a supercharger and turbocharger (twin-charged) to the impressive and smooth performance of the turbocharged 147kW 2.0 litre TSI, these Volkswagen petrol engines combine innovative technology, impressive power outputs and efficient fuel economy.
DSG transmission (Optional)
Giving you the ease of an automatic and the sportiness of a manual, our innovative DSG transmissions use two clutches to cleverly pre-select your next gear, meaning faster, smoother gear changes. And don’t worry about rollbacks on a slope. With Hill Start Assist the car is held in place for 1.5 seconds after the foot brake is released on hills giving you time to move away safely. 6-speed DSG is standard on 103TDI Comfortline and 147TSI Highline.
7-speed DSG is standard on 118TSI Comfortline.
118TSI features a 6-speed manual gearbox as standard, with 7-speed DSG available as an option.
Parking Distance Sensors with OPS (Optional)
Standard across Comfortline and Highline models, Jetta features front and rear park distance sensors with acoustic warning. The function includes Optical Parking System (OPS) integrated into the radio display to give visual as well as audible warnings of proximity to obstacles. When the parking sensor warning is activated, audio volume is automatically lowered.
TDI diesel engine technology
The 103TDI Comfortline comes with the latest in turbocharged common rail diesel engine technology. Precise amounts of fuel are injected at an exceedingly high pressure to deliver impressive power and exceptional fuel economy. The exhaust gas recirculation feature and diesel particulate filter also help reduce your CO2 impact. All of which means a cleaner burning engine with impressive Volkswagen acceleration.
Crumple Zones
The core Crumple zones of your Volkwagen are designed to protect the cabin and your passengers from the worst effects of an impact.
Passive safety systems
Jetta features 3-point seatbelts for all passengers. Driver and passenger get visual and acoustic warnings should their seatbelts not be fastened while front seatbelts are height adjustable and fitted with pre-tensioners and belt force limiters.
Standard across the range, Jetta also features three rear height-adjustable head restraints and front safety-optimised head restraints. Designed to minimise whiplash impact for driver and passenger in an impact, the head restraint is designed to reduce the distance you head moves in an accident.
Fog lights and static corner lights
Giving you added visibility when you need it most, front fog lights with static cornering functionality come as standard on 147TSI Highline or as part of the optional Sport package for Comfortline models. Static cornering functionality operates at low speeds, illuminating individual lamps depending on the direction of travel and lighting the road ahead around corners.
Traction and braking control
Monitoring and assisting your progress when the road gets slippery or in an emergency situation, Jetta features the following active safety systems as standard across the range: Anti-Slip Regulation (ASR), Electronic Differential Lock (EDL) and Electronic Stabilisation Program (ESP). And making sure you can stop as quickly as you start, Jetta also benefits from the following braking programs as standard across the range: Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brake-pressure Distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist, which senses braking pressure and applies extra braking force if necessary.
Airbags
All models of Jetta feature six airbags (twin front, front side and full length curtain) as standard. Airbags com- bine with seatbelts to help reduce the risk of severe head and chest injuries in collisions. When inflated, airbags cushion the head and upper body, distributing the resulting loads over as large an area as possible.
