After Polo facelift, Volkswagen is preparing to spawn a comprehensively tweaked version of Jetta in India. Copious modifications will be made to the exterior and interior fronts. Rumours were doing the rounds that Volkswagen will launch refreshed Jetta in India by early next year, however it has been learnt from close sources that 2014 Jetta will be rolled out in domestic market this year only. The company had displayed new avatar of Jetta premium saloon at the 2014 New York Motor Show, while the India spec model will vary the displayed model, it will still inherit some of the changes from the North American bound model.
Front fascia might resemble with Passat, among the changes made to the front reworked radiator grille, optional B-Xenon head lamps with adaptive front-lighting system, tweaked bumper and a few other modifications are included. Revivification made to the rear will include LED tail lamps placed higher, restyled bumper and the saloon will get narrower at the rear.
Tweaks made to the cabin are minor, a revised instrument panel, new multi-functional steering wheel, piano black accents on the centre console, chrome accents around dual zone climatronic control, reworked air vent controls and new upholstery will be seen in updated Jetta.
Under the hood, a 2.0 litre trubo-diesel engine that has been tuned to generate 10 Bho higher power output is expected to be housed in the saloon. The engine is now claimed to offer enhanced fuel economy of 19.13 kmpl as compared to the 17.85 kmpl mileage returned by the current model.
