Picture Perfect – Jetta

The perfection and precision all German products have are commendable and so is everything about Jetta. The luxury and feel that I experienced when I sat inside this vehicle was awesome. What perfection! Each and every aspect was taken care of, something the vehicles of Indian companies lacked. Being a notchback model, Jetta has a 30 year triumph tale in the Europe and also has been recognized as the most popular car in the USA and that too from a European manufacturer. This review will be giving you details about the Jetta TDI 1.9 Trendline and Jetta TDI 1.9 Comfortline DSG. The Jetta offers extensive comfort and comes packed with functions and safety equipments.

The perfect blend of ground-breaking features, synchronization of design and inspiring dynamics make the Jetta what it is – a compact saloon with sporty elegance.

The design of the vehicle, performance it has, enhanced safety features supported and above all the comfort it offers is admirable. Talking about the design, it has a striking front view and sporty radiator grille. Colour-keyed bumpers, door handles and door mirror housings with integral twin signals make the perfect Jetta. The green tinted heat insulating glass has a graceful and classy appearance cares against extreme heating of the passenger compartment and cuts dazzle. Along with the looks and design of the exteriors, the interiors are also designed with utmost perfection.

You will simply love the performance of the vehicle. With the 1.9L TDI with “Pumpe Duse” direct injection technology, you get the perfect performance and save on the economy as well. It accelerates from 0 to 100 kph in just 11.8 seconds. The most striking part is its galvanised body that protects it against rust penetration. Safety is yet another factor that needs special mentioning. The Jetta comes with an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) as standard. It prevents the wheels from locking on slippery surfaces and keeps the car steerable. Another safety feature is the three-point inertia reel seat belts with integrated belt tensioners and belt force limiters. The front seat belts height-adjustable as well. The other safety features of this lovable Jetta are airbags for front passengers, curtain airbags at front and rear and side airbags at the front.
