The Jetta returns for 2019 as the newest edition to Volkswagens MQB platform allowing VW to utilize the same front axle placement, pedal box and engine positioning across all models, despite varying wheelbase, track and external dimensions. With the move to the new platform Jetta now features longer wheelbase, length, and width dimensions despite shedding some weight to become a sub three thousand pound chassis. The familiar 1.4L turbo-charged engine remains the sole power plant although with some tweaking now produces 187 foot-pounds of torque astonishingly early in the powerband providing excellent low-end acceleration. Coupled with a pair of new transmission options, the Jetta now claims 40 mpg highway and 34 mpg combined all the while reducing the starting price to $19,395 for a base S trim model.
