2017 Volkswagen Jetta

The 2017 Jetta design incorporates clear, precise lines and muscular surfaces to impart a timeless elegance. At the front, the coupe-like incline of the windshield and the consistent use of horizontal lines define the design.

The Jetta features a trunk lid with an aerodynamic trailing edge-an integrated spoiler that lines up with the car's silhouette near the character line, extending elegantly into the rear fenders.

The GLI has a bolder look, highlighted by an aggressive front fascia that incorporates a honeycomb grille and foglights, along with a rear bumper design that has a diffuser and a standard rear spoiler. 2017 Jetta GLI models have 18-inch "Mallory" design aluminum-alloy wheels, shod with standard all-season tires.

Developed through collaboration between Fender and Panasonic, the Fender Premium Audio System cranks 400 watts of power through nine speakers and a trunk-mounted subwoofer to help bring the raw emotion of a live performance to the driving experience.

One of the most technologically advanced features in the 2017 Jetta comes in the form of its touchscreen infotainment system. The display utilizes a capacitive touch sensor rather than the more common resistive touchscreens that require pressure, enabling gesture controls like swiping and even pinch-zooming.

The 1.4-liter turbocharged, direct-injection engine in the S and SE models has 150 horsepower and 184 lb.-ft. of torque.

The Jetta 1.8T SEL engine produces 170 horsepower and a broad torque plateau of 184 lb.-ft. from 1,500 to 4,750 rpm.

The latest version of the EA888 TSI engine powers the Jetta GLI model. The 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine produces 210 horsepower and 207 lb-ft of torque.
