So you’ve seen the 2019 Volkswagen Jetta and know all that’s currently fit to print. We even had the unusual opportunity to drive the new Jetta before its unveil, swirly camouflage and all. So, I figured I would take the time at its unveil on the eve of the 2018 Detroit Auto Show to crawl around its interior, poke its dashboard and fiddle with its buttons and touchscreen.
2019 VW Jetta interior is roomier, snazzier yet still a bit cheap
First of all, as we’ve already noted, the Jetta is bigger than before — 1.3 inches in extra wheelbase to be precise. That’s saying a lot since the Jetta was already on the north side of lengthy and a far cry from the pert little compact that dawned at the turn of the century. Indeed, at 6-foot-3, I could pretty much sit «behind myself» in the Jetta, with more than enough legroom front and back. That’s actually pretty astonishing for a «compact» sedan. (Back in the 2000 Jetta, I’d have had to saw my legs off to fit behind myself — and I’d know, I owned one). That should be particularly appealing to families looking for a new, inexpensive car with a huge back seat for teenagers or rear-facing child seats (and I suppose my college buddies would’ve been much happier).
Now, should you have a forward-facing seat, note that the new head restraints are rather tall. That may be great for grown-ups, but the restraints are fixed, which should make it harder to attach a child seat to the latch point atop the parcel shelf.
As for the trunk, it’s once again very wide, very deep and generally enormous. Some won’t like the free-flying gooseneck hinges, which are one of the Jetta’s many cost-cutting areas relative past versions.
So in total, the 2019 Volkswagen Jetta does indeed have a more stylish and premium cabin than it replaces. That’s definitely a welcome advancement. Did it need to get bigger, though? Apparently focus groups and the like thought so, but this new Jetta is definitely stretching the definition of «compact car.»
