Drivers in the Phoenix area will notice changes in the 2019 Jetta when they take it for a test drive at our Volkswagen dealership. Compared to its previous generation, the newest Jetta shows a more aggressive appearance with a chiseled hood and bold chrome bar grill. It also receives standard full LED lighting compared to the previous year's available LED lighting, so you're guaranteed to illuminate the road wherever you go. With the new look, you'll be ready to show off the more sporty appearance when you're cruising into work or picking up your kids from soccer practice.
More changes in the 2019 Jetta include an improvement in fuel efficiency. This year's Jetta offers new EPA estimated ratings of 30/40 MPG compared to last year's 28/40 MPG, which means you'll be able to cruise through the city in style with fewer stops and a fuller wallet. The better fuel economy is thanks to the now standard six-speed manual transmission with an impressive eight-speed automatic upgrade, which also allows for smoother transitions. Also newly standard in the 2019 model is Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Whereas the 2018 Jetta offers these as an available connectivity feature, this year's model includes these and the Volkswagen Car-Net® App-Connect as standard features.
