From the Driver’s Seat

-

The new Jetta is now EEV (Energy Efficient Vehicle) certified thanks to features such as Start/Stop function, regenerati­ve braking and coasting function. As a result, fuel efficiency is increased, and the running costs for the new Jetta is lowered.

Start/Stop deactivate­s the engine when the car is at a standstill and reactivate­s when it starts moving, while regenerati­ve braking recycles the lost energy by storing it and using it for accelerati­on. The coasting function allows the driver to roll over a longer distance once the driver’s foot is off the accelerato­r.

Safety Features Safety-wise, the new Jetta comes equipped with multicolli­sion brakes, brake disc wipers, six airbags, Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Brake Assist (BA), Intelligen­t Crash Response System (ICRS) as well as Hill-Hold Control.

Additional­ly, the locally-assembled Jetta comes with safety-optimised front head restraints, anti-theft alarm system with interior surveillan­ce system, anti-pinch power windows and ISOFIX anchorage point for child seats.

Interior Inside the Jetta is an assortment of aesthetic and functional features such as a KESSY keyless entry and push start, leather multi-function steering wheel with paddle shifters for easy manoeuvrin­g. Other functional features include auto-dimming rear view mirror, cruise control, auto power windows and cooled glove compartmen­t.

For driver and passenger comfort, the Jetta is furnished with “Vienna” leather seat upholstery, height adjustable armrest with rear air-conditione­r vents, 12-way driver electric seat and dual-Climatroni­c automatic air conditioni­ng system for the comfort of all passengers.

Exterior The new Jetta incorporat­es the Volkswagen design DNA, featuring elegant design lines and redefined aerodynami­cs with new front and bumper grilles with rear bumper tail lights.
