Volkswagen Jetta facelift spotted ahead of launch

The Volkswagen Jetta facelift has been spotted testing once again. The car gets some cosmetic as well as mechanical changes.

Among the changes to the exterior are a new front grille, headlights with integrated LED daytime running lights and chrome inserts, restyled front bumper with a larger air dam, new fog lamps, a new rear bumper, restyled tail lamp clusters and redesigned alloy wheels.

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

The refreshed Jetta is expected to continue using the same 2.0-litre TDI diesel and 1.4-litre TSI petrol engines as the current model. However, Volkswagen could give the car higher power and torque outputs in line with the updates the car has received in other markets.

Volkswagen is expected to launch the Jetta facelift in India in the first quarter of this year.
