What we know about Jetta 7

1. The Jetta is now based on the MQB matrix and will be built in Puebla, Mexico.
2. RHD markets will not get Jetta 7 - UK, South African and Australian media have stated that they will not get Jetta 7 (Which we at Australian based VWNEWSBLOG are not happy about.)
3. 1.4T 150hp engine will be the base engine mated to either 6 speed manual or 8 speed automatic gearboxes.
4. Torsion beam based Rear Suspension is standard. Due to the budget being spent on MQB technologies instead. Expect like the Golf, versions with higher output to get the Multi Link Rear Suspension, like the Jetta GLI due in 2019.
5. The interior is inspired by the all new MQB based Polo with the Volkswagen Digital Cockpit. The LCD instrument cluster and LCD radio navigation screen meld into a one piece mega screen but actually are two screens. The air vents are now under the LCD radio navigation screen instead of above like the Polo.
6. Jan Schmid the Lead Exterior Designer of the Jetta 7 also designed the Golf R400 concept car.
7. Front Assist. Side Assist, Blind Spot Detection, Active Cruise Control & Post Collision Braking etc are just some of the features on Jetta 7.
8. The Fender sound system is deleted in favour of the beats audio system like the Polo and up!.
9. Jetta 7 comes with 6 years bumper to bumper warranty.
10. NAIAS 2018 is when the Jetta 7 will be revealed!
