The Jetta's interior with its high-end quality creates a solid bridge to the class above, widening its lead over the competition. Inside, the new Jetta offers unparalleled perfection in details and – as a common conceptual thread – self-explanatory controls.
Ergonomic cockpit
The silver framed round instruments designed in the style of the new Passat are positioned for optimum viewing; the multifunction display (trip computer) is located between them. The new three-spoke steering wheel design (optional leather-trimmed steering wheel with multifunction keys) impresses both visually and to the touch. The right hand rests ergonomically on the gearshift grip. Further up the centre console are the redesigned and intuitive controls for the climate control and the radio and radio-navigation systems. This console section is slightly inclined towards the driver for an ideal alignment of the dashboard that focuses on the driver's needs.
The parking brake lever was also repositioned, freeing up more space on the right side that is now used for larger cupholders. Numerous storage options - including an option-dependent centre armrest with large storage box and special sunglasses holder - all perfect the car's everyday practicality.
More space for driver and front passenger
Despite the flatter roofline, the effective headroom for both driver and front passenger was also increased to 1,014 mm. Both occupants take their places on completely redesigned and ergonomically optimised seats that offer a high level of long-distance travel comfort and ample adjustments (optional 6-way and 8-way adjustment). The extended wheelbase, now 2,651 mm, enabled a significantly more comfortable layout of the Jetta's 3-person rear seating area. Consider knee room: it is now a huge 1,046 mm. Headroom in the rear, at 943 mm, is still on the same good level of the previous model.
510 litre cargo capacity
Even the base version sports a folding rear bench seatback with a 60/40 split, increasing the car's versatility. The 510 litre boot can be opened from inside the car by a remote unlock switch (or by unlocking from the exterior or by the standard wireless remote control). A load-through provision integrated in the centre armrest (standard from Comfortline) increases versatility.
All-round protection
The new Jetta is equipped with six airbags as standard (driver and front passenger airbags, side airbags in front and side curtain airbags in front and rear). Customers can add optional rear side airbags to this package (for detailed information on the topic of passive safety, see the Body section).
