History of the Volkswagen Jetta. Description Volkswagen Jetta II Jetta 6 years of production

(1991-1998);
Volkswagen Jetta IV (1998-2005);
Volkswagen Jetta V (2005-2011);

The Jetta is a car that is sorely lacking public attention. On the one hand, there is a sea of ​​news, emotions and opinions about smaller sedans and lower prices: of course, we are talking about the pair of Hyundai Solaris and Kia Rio that have tightly occupied the information space. On the other hand, the grandeur of the Golf model creates a shadow of such size that in bad times the Jetta is completely lost in it. And although VW is trying to position the sedan as separate model, in general the situation remained the same. The Golf continues to set the tone - and the Jetta, which appears much later, no matter how different it is from the hatchback, is still perceived by the public as some kind of optional continuation. However, on the road the Jetta is on its own – and nothing prevents you from appreciating it without returning your thoughts to its two-volume brother.
The Jetta's interior isn't exactly old-fashioned, but it compares favorably with some competitors whose center consoles resemble over-the-top ones. Cell phones, the interior produces... let's say, a calm impression. We are not afraid to assume that for many potential buyers this may be more of a plus. Especially for those who spend a lot of time behind the wheel and are not inclined to spend extra seconds and minutes every day searching for the right button. The front panel of the German sedan is not overloaded with unnecessary details, everything here is located in its place and can be used for its intended purpose immediately, without first reading the multi-page instructions. The only thing that you can “make friends” with only through force is the already familiar Volkswagen multifunctional steering wheel. Once you get distracted and return to everyday mode, your right hand reaches out to turn up the volume, turning the radio knob and neglecting the keys on the steering wheel.
Under the hood is the most powerful turbo engine available in Russia with a volume of 1.4 liters and a power of 150 hp. (an alternative is a 122-horsepower version of the same engine or a 105-horsepower diesel engine). Transmission – seven-speed DSG. From the very first kilometers it becomes clear that the car is tuned for those who prefer to drive rather than race. It is clear that the gear shift algorithm in mode D (in the presence of an alternative S) is aimed primarily at reducing fuel consumption - but reactions to the accelerator are also selected in unison with it. Thanks to electronics, the engine is usually less than that, what the driver expects when pressing the pedal with a certain force. It’s as if the person behind the wheel is by default perceived as a person with sudden movements, which the car is designed to absorb to reasonable limits. On the one hand, it is clear that the Jetta is not intended for playing dangerous road checkers. On the other hand, there will probably be negligibly few “checker players” among its buyers, and most sane drivers would benefit from a more “clean” and sane reaction to moving the gas pedal.
The Jetta's ride quality is decent - but not so smooth as to "swallow" hatches and similar noticeable bumps. This also demonstrates the “calming” character of the car - if you cannot go around an unevenness, it is better to slow down so as not to feel a hard push or hear a rather rough knock. And if you move at moderate speeds, then no discomfort will arise: the suspension will work exemplary, and the steering will allow you to dodge obstacles calmly, without nerves and exorbitant rolls. In a word, Jetta - vehicle in a good sense of the word. A discreet but effective car - it is unlikely to help you stand out from the crowd and assert yourself, but on an everyday level it will do everything necessary to ensure that the hours behind the wheel pass without stress and hysterics.

In 1979, the Golf model received a body with a separate luggage compartment. As a result a new version called Jetta. At first, a liter engine was installed on the car. In March 1984, the manufacturer introduced the second generation Jetta. Now the car has been unified with the Golf II.

It should be noted that the Golf and Jetta are structurally very close to each other, so they can be classified as one family. Jetta is the little sister Volkswagen Golf, which was very popular before. This modification differed in the type of body, because it became a three-volume sedan with a luggage compartment of five hundred liters. In addition, the Jetta was distinguished by unusual headlights and a front grille. It should be taken into account that this modification did not become a separate model, but was only a version of the Golf. It was offered in several versions: with four and two doors. The first version has become more convenient, the second - more beautiful.

The prototype for the 2-door coupes, which were produced in a small batch, is the three-door Golf. It should be noted that this modification could not become very popular. Production stopped in 1992.

The front suspension was independent, the rear suspension was semi-independent spring. All wheels were connected by an axle with a special torsion effect. The car had a special front-wheel drive.

The following engines were offered for the Volkswagen Jetta:

1.1.3 liter 60 hp. Subsequently, the power was reduced to 55 horsepower. Average consumption fuel was nine liters for every hundred kilometers.

2. 1.6-liter 75-horsepower engine. In this case, AI-98 gasoline was required. Average fuel consumption was ten liters per hundred kilometers.

3. Diesel engine volume 1.6 liters. Power could be 54 or 70 horsepower with turbocharging. This engine can consume an average of seven liters of diesel fuel per hundred kilometers.

The sports versions were equipped with a gasoline engine with a volume of 1.8 liters and a power of 90 or 112 horsepower. Average fuel consumption was eleven liters per hundred kilometers.

In the 1980s, the Volkswagen Jetta came with a six-year warranty. This guarantee was valid from through corrosion, if a special anti-corrosion treatment of the car was carried out every two years, there was no external damage.

In mid-1988, employees Volkswagen company were able to modernize the model. During the work, it was possible to eliminate poor visibility through the rear exterior mirrors. The fact is that previously there were pseudo-window windows on the front doors. To ensure that the view was not blocked by frames, the mirrors had to be placed almost in the middle of the doors. After restyling the model, the windows were removed and the mirrors were moved to the corners of the window openings.

The car interior is decorated in an angular style. It is important to note that all parts are of very high quality and are therefore designed for long-term use. The upholstery of all chairs is made of durable material that has stood the test of time.

On many versions, front discs were installed, as well as rear ones. drum mechanisms. Rear disc brakes could only be installed on powerful cars. As a result, the Volkswagen Jetta was able to become a very popular car in the small class sedan class.

For a long time, the Jetta managed to follow in the footsteps of the Golf. However, in 1993, a year after the premiere of the third generation Golf, the Jetta became the Volkswagen Vento. After the premiere of the Golf IV, the Bora was introduced instead of the Vento. At this time, production of the Volkswagen Jetta was discontinued.

These days it is very rare to see a Jetta, but at the same time, owners continue to appreciate the car for its ease of operation, high quality, resistance to various adverse conditions, and high wear resistance. The Volkswagen Jetta can be called a high-quality and reliable car, which at the same time is cheap.

In 2005, the fifth generation Jetta was introduced. It became a replacement for the Volkswagen Bora. The world premiere took place at the Los Angeles Auto Show. German automobile concern presented a middle class sedan with a name that has already been forgotten.

New car was created on the basis of the fifth generation Golf. This car has become much larger compared to its predecessor. The car body has become longer by 17.8 centimeters, resulting in its length reaching 4.55 meters. The height was 1.46 meters, and at the same time it was increased by 1.3 centimeters. The width reached 1.78 meters after being increased by 4.6 centimeters. Thanks to the increased external dimensions The cabin has become much more spacious. As a result, passengers were able to enjoy increased comfort. The interior has become wider by 3.5 centimeters. The legroom was increased by 6.5 centimeters, the headroom of the rear passengers - by 2.4 centimeters.

What makes the Volkswagen Jetta unique? This car In terms of the level of transformation of its own interior, it is not inferior to minivans and hatchbacks.

Of course, the spacious interior has become a feature of the model. However, this hobby was not the only one. The backrests of the rear seats, which are divided asymmetrically, in the folded position can provide access to the luggage compartment with a flat floor. In this case, you can put things up to 1.9 meters in length into the interior of the Volkswagen Jetta. In fact, this is not the limit. Each person has the opportunity to order a version in which there will be front seat with a special folding backrest! The luggage compartment capacity is 527 liters, which is seventy-two liters more than the Bora. The maximum lifting capacity is 602 kilograms, so you don’t have to worry about the machine being overloaded. In addition, it is possible to tow a trailer or a car weighing up to 1.7 tons.

The beautiful and sporty silhouette of the Volkswagen Jetta is a reflection of its amazing driving characteristics. The radiator grille, made in a U-shape, and the chrome edging of the side glazing made it possible to emphasize the special character of the car. The headlights are located under a single transparent glass, and the direction indicators have a modern design. All this made it possible to place the necessary aesthetic accents to ensure that the illumination of the road was ideal. Tail and parking lights, direction indicators, brake lights were created using LED technology. What advantages can be noted? LED emitters provide superior illumination levels to standard taillights.

The dashboard has amazing ergonomics! It was created according to a special intuitive principle: the instruments are located at hand, and the readings can be read even at night thanks to the blue backlight.

Every passenger can enjoy comfort! This can be explained by a wide range of settings that allow you to adjust the position of the seats with special lateral support.

The Volkswagen Jetta is a car that is very easy to drive. This was achieved thanks to the McPherson front suspension and multi-link rear suspension. Chassis allowed to combine sports characteristics with comfort, high level security. The front axle strut has been improved so it can improve the car! Thruster rear axle was able to improve the controllability of the car, which now has a high level of safety. Bora managed to borrow a front axle strut with a special lower triangular wishbone. Thanks to this equipment, passengers and the driver can enjoy amazing comfort during every trip!

The Volkswagen Jetta is one of the cars that has the highest level of safety. The basic equipment is equipped with six airbags. The driver's airbag can increase its own volume up to 60 liters, the front passenger airbag - up to 120 liters. Side airbags are provided for rear passengers. IN backseat built-in special fastenings manufacturer Isofix, which are designed for child seats.

The manufacturer managed to reduce braking distances thanks to a special system. This system thanks to ABS, ESP, DBA makes a serious contribution to the safety of the Jetta.

The sixth generation of the famous C-class sedan, the Volkswagen Jetta, began its existence back in 2011, and the update of the 2015 car was able to give freshness to the car and remove the likely drop in demand from consumers.

For automotive market Russian Federation, a modification of the Jetta produced in 2015, is distinguished by the presence of a specialized “winter” package and the already familiar lack of power units operating on diesel fuel. The entire Volkswagen model range.

Exterior

If you take appearance people's car, then there are no very significant changes in Jett’s appearance. Cars produced in 2015 received a revised front bumper, an updated radiator grille and an optional head-mounted adaptive optical lighting system.

The headlights now come with the AFS adaptive lighting system. The LED lighting system, which has 16 LEDs in each headlight, is responsible for the illumination. To transform the car in terms of aerodynamic parameters, German specialists were able to slightly adjust the shape of the front glass pillars.

Volkswagen Jetta 6 front view

Cover up most the bottom with casings made of plastic, and correct the shape of the bumper installed on the rear of the car. They claim that they were able to increase the aerodynamic performance by 10 percent, which should have a good effect on fuel consumption.

They have also expanded the list of wheel rims that are available as a separate option. Thanks to this, consumers will now be able to choose between 16- and 17-inch wheels made of light alloy.

In general, the car was able to maintain standard and slightly strict body lines and a very attractive appearance, which, with the help of spot transformations, became more modern. The headlights installed in front, of course, did not undergo any radical innovations, but they acquired xenon filling.

Now they look more beautiful and modern. On top of that, the radiator grille was redesigned and increased in volume. Now, the radiator grille has lines highlighted in chrome. Any of the lines is at the level of the lamps and completely coincides with all the outlines of the optical lighting system in front.

But in shape, the bumper remained the same, however this moment It is equipped with horizontal folded lines that provide an air intake option. The new car has a longer nose, which flows under the bevel of the bottom.

Due to the smooth transition, elegance is created and become. The Volkswagen hood does not promise any changes; its shape was copied from the older model. The part of the car located below, on the front bumper, has a black unpainted edging, which will make it possible to avoid scratches during accidental contact with the curb or other road potholes.

In general, when it comes to restyling, each company has its own view on this topic. In this case, it can be argued that the German concern had no particular desire to change its appearance every year. The side part of the Volkswagen Jetta fully replicates the appearance of the 2013 model.

Almost immediately you notice already recognizable body lines, wheel arches with the wheels themselves. The rear part of the sedan, although slightly, has changed. Initially, you can highlight the rear lights, which have acquired a smaller size.

If previously they crawled out even to the license plate itself, today about 40% of them end up on the tailgate. The rear bumper itself, along with the additional lighting, were completely untouched. By the way, the tailgate can be opened at a very comfortable level for the driver.

To perform this manipulation, you should, holding your hand down, press the button, after which the tailgate will begin to open. As is already usual, you can open the luggage compartment using a special key located on a specialized remote control. Likewise, the tailgate can be closed.

Dimensions

If we talk about the overall component German car Volkswagen Jetta, then its length is 4,659 mm, its wheelbase is 2,651 mm, the width of the car is 1,778 mm and the height does not exceed the value of 1,482 mm.

By ground clearance there is nothing special to say - its height is 160 mm. The 6th generation Volkswagen Jetta sedan has the following weight: from 1,325 – 1,364 kg, it all depends on what equipment will be installed.

Interior

Paying attention to the interior of the restyled Volkswagen Jetta, from a functional perspective, as it seems immediately, nothing has been changed. All knobs, buttons and other settings and controls are located in their usual places.

However, the color palette of finishing materials inside the car has increased its already existing variations, which look quite sophisticated. Light shades can be perfectly combined with various interior details that have high-quality black plastic.

A significant advantage is the successfully matched shades, which not only do not make the sedan interior boring, but do not become boring over time. At the moment, the manufacturing company offers a choice of improved in terms of quantity and a very interesting color palette for interior decoration.

With the help of the latest trends in interior design of the restyled Jetta, the car looks pretty good inside, and sometimes even is the best among analogues in its class. If we talk about the quality of the interior, it is at a high level.

All the details that were used in finishing the interior have not only soft and pleasant to the touch qualities, but also have environmental quality certificates. To the eye, you get the feeling that inside the car has increased its spaciousness, if we take the previous model in comparison.

Immediately, you pay attention to the comfortable, beautiful multifunctional steering wheel, modernized air ducts and the presence of an abundance of chrome parts in the interior trim. Similar innovations were made to the title of "sports car".

Although, to be honest, the Volkswagen Jetta is originally a car for comfortable ride. Changes also affected the instrument panel. After the transformations, all instruments serving for measuring purposes were arranged in “wells”.

According to the developers, such an arrangement will allow the driver to read all instrument values ​​without much difficulty, without being distracted from driving the car. Speaking about the central display located on the instrument panel, I would like to immediately say that it has improved its information content and has become more convenient for displaying the necessary information.

Heating and cooling functions temperature regime inside the car, began to function more efficiently. Its elements are arranged in such a way that you can extremely quickly change the position of the temperature regime without any problems, achieving the most comfortable position for the driver and passengers sitting next to him.

It is worth mentioning the usable space of the German Volkswagen sedan Jetta 6th generation. It has not been subject to changes - the car still has about 510 liters of free space.

After the next update, the Volkswagen Jetta was able to become more technologically advanced. Together with the latest solutions regarding modernization and design, the car has acquired improved safety services, which relate not only to improved braking, but also active systems security.

It was nice to receive, along with the update, brand new panoramic mirrors located on the sides with an increased list of adjustments. Also thanks to the update, in Volkswagen showroom The Jetta features dual-zone climate control with LED interior lighting.

There is a multifunctional multimedia system of the car, which was produced at a higher level. It includes a touchscreen LCD screen and connectors for SD, USB and connection to an iPod. The interesting thing is that this list is available even in the standard version.

The engine has a 16-valve gas distribution mechanism with a distributed fuel injection system. It allows you to reach the first hundred in 11.5 seconds, the top speed is set at 180 km/h.

The operation of a 5-speed manual gearbox is synchronized with it, and the higher-end version comes with a reinforced engine with 105 horses. With the latest engine it works not only manual transmission, and a 6-speed automatic transmission.

The top version has a seven-speed DSG robotic gearbox. 85 horsepower engine with automatic transmission accelerates to 100 km/h in 12.5 seconds, and its top speed is 177 km/h.

Speaking of dynamic capabilities, according to the developer Jetta, a car with an engine that has 122 horsepower, can reach 100 km/h in 9.8 seconds, no matter what gearbox is installed. The car can reach a maximum speed of 202 km/h.

Fuel consumption will be minimal with a seven-speed robot, which consumes about 6.0 liters per hundred kilometers in combined mode versus 6.2 liters per 100 km for a car with a manual transmission.

Volkswagen Jetta A6 is a mid-size sedan produced since 2010 at plants in Pueblo (Mexico), Aurangabad (India), Jakarta (Indonesia), Changchun (China). In South American countries the car is called Vento, and in China it is called Sagitar.

History of creation

The sixth was built, but is now common body parts there's no left at all (at previous model my brother and I had the same front doors).

Wanting to increase sales in America to 800 thousand cars a year, Volkswagen moved Jetta production to a plant in Mexico in 2005. This made it possible to reduce the cost of producing the popular model overseas. Time and costs were reduced, and the sixth generation car in America became two thousand dollars cheaper previous version, the price started from 16 thousand.

Under the leadership of Walter de Silva, head of Volkswagen Group Design (in the past he created cars for Alfa Romeo, Seat and Audi), the new Jetta was drawn by Brazilian Jose-Carlos Pavone. He also had a hand in creating a new Volkswagen Passat. Before putting the car into mass production, José-Carlos presented the car in San Francisco, gauging the interest of the press and public.

IN total It took three and a half years to develop the car. In America, Jetta sales started on July 22, 2010, in Russia only a year later, cars are brought to us from Mexico. True, there are plans to assemble the sedan at the GAZ plant in Nizhny Novgorod according to full cycle in 2013. The parts will be supplied from Mexico.

Technical features

The American Jetta is only similar in appearance to the European one. Materials dashboard hard, the car is equipped with a cheaper semi-independent rear suspension, not multi-link. There is no second high-speed CAN bus, which is available on the European Jetta.

The CAN bus is a bundle of wires that connects everything electronic systems car, from a simple window lifter to an engine control unit, with controllers. A high-speed bus is capable of transmitting more information, therefore, this increases the speed of data exchange between systems. And the presence of two tires in the car allows you to simultaneously receive information from different devices. One of the main results of its work is increasing the level of security.

The 2013 Jetta began to be equipped with a new climate control unit and an additional electric interior air heater on cars with TSI engines. Due to their small volume, these engines do not heat up well at idle.

After frequent breakdowns installed on the Jetta A6, and complaints from car owners, the Russian representative office of Volkswagen Group Rus LLC officially extended the warranty on the transmission to 5 years or 150,000 kilometers.

In the era of hybrid cars, Volkswagen released a production Jetta Hybrid, equipped with a 1.4 liter petrol turbo engine. and an electric motor, which together develop 170 hp. The car's consumption is a little more than 5 liters per 100 km. The car will go on sale in Europe in the spring of 2013.

In addition to the accelerometer sensors responsible for sending a signal to deploy the airbags, special acoustic sensors. Their task is to determine the force and direction of impact during an accident for more effective use of safety systems.

Advantages and disadvantages

Although everyone’s tastes are different, one cannot help but note the similarity between the Jetta and the Passat and their design in a simple style, for some this is already an advantage. The car handles great. Compared to main competitor Ford Focus, Jetta is more dynamic, and the one installed in it DSG box is more suitable for fans of high-speed racing than the PowerShift from Focus: it is less thoughtful and its warranty has been increased to 5 years. The wheelbase of the sixth Jetta has been increased to 2,651 mm and provides sufficient space for rear passengers (for example, Toyota Corolla- 2,600 mm).

Interesting Facts

The lightweight Jetta Hybrid set a speed record at the Bonneville Salt Lake in Utah, USA, where speed records are set. various cars, including with jet engines. The car was accelerated to 301.184 km/h. According to the design team, their next goal is to reach a speed of 320 km/h.

Jetta equipped with a control unit is being assembled in China and India climate control system and an audio system control panel for rear passengers. In these countries, the car is considered practically a limousine for the wealthy class.

Safety

The Jetta comes standard with six airbags, ABS and stability control. Side airbags to protect rear passengers are an option.

In a crash test EuroNCAP versions the car scored the maximum five stars. For adult passengers, the safety level reaches 94%, for children 86%, and for pedestrians 56%.

Numbers and awards

The car won the “Practical Car 2012” nomination according to readers of Guter Rat and Super Illu magazines.

In 2011, the sixth generation Jetta received the Insurance Institute of America's Top Safety Pick award. road safety(Insurance Institute of Highway Safety), as well as the GOOD DESIGN award from the Chicago Museum of Architecture and Design (Chicago Athenaeum).

In 2011, more than 177 thousand cars were sold in America, and in 2012 – 170 thousand. For example, sales of the Honda Civic were the best in the class - 221 thousand cars in 2011 and 318 thousand in 2012.

In Russia, the figures were, naturally, more modest: 14,756 Jets were sold in 2012. For comparison, co-platform Skoda Octavia sold 52,036 cars.

In 2012, 11 Jetta cars were stolen in Moscow. For comparison, the most favorite among hijackers Volkswagen models- Passat and Tiguan are stolen 5-8 times more often.

In order to present the entire VW Jetta lineup, you need to know that the Jetta was originally obtained as a result of modernization Golf car. So I got the sedan new body and a power unit with a working liter volume. At that time, the Volkswagen Jetta model range could not boast various types body or modifications of power units.

There were also no significant changes in the appearance of the car. Thus, this concludes all the innovations regarding the generation of VW Jetta under consideration.

First Jetta lineup

The most modified sedan Volkswagen Jetta the second generation, according to many car enthusiasts, as well as sales market experts, was so structurally close to its prototype Volkswagen Golf, that in most cases they were classified as cars of the same golf-class family. However, some differences still took place.

Minor differences in the Jetta included redesigned headlights and a more attractive grille, but the most significant difference was the body type, as this time the Jetta had a three-box body style. There is a convenient and spacious trunk 500 l, which became the most noticeable part of the car. However, even these changes could not distinguish the Jetta as a separate Volkswagen model, but classified it as one of several modifications of the VW Golf.

The Volkswagen Jetta II was produced in 2- and 4-door body styles in C, CL, GL and Carat versions. The first model was considered more respectable, and the second more convenient. At some point on the market Volkswagen car The Jetta became the most popular golf-class sedan, which was in incredible demand and, despite not having a very wide model range, it still became the leader in terms of annual sales.

VW Vento range

As for the next generation Vento, this car was created on the basis of the third version of the Golf. Although in South and North America, VW Jetta sedans based on the Golf are still called Jetta III.

Volkswagen Vento – perfect family car. A roomy, well-handling, yet elegant and practical car, has earned the love of most car owners around the world. The Vento can satisfy the needs of almost any car owner for whom operational practicality and engine power are important. The top versions were designated VR 6 and GTI.

Volkswagen Bora models

In 1998, Volkswagen developers presented the Bora model range, which left such versions as the Jetta II and Vento in the last century. VW Bora, based on fourth generation Golf can be safely placed between the Golf IV and Passat in the chain of ever-developed versions of sedans from this automaker.

The Volkswagen Bora is not much different from the Golf IV, but it definitely beats it in terms of equipment and design. He brought a new corporate style to the brand, special features. This includes a rounded roof, highlighted wheel arches, and carefully calibrated proportions of the car.

Line of models V-VI generations of Jetta

But time does not stand still, and already in 2005, in Los Angeles, the Bora was replaced by a fifth-generation car, with the already forgotten name VW Jetta, which replenished the model range with several body options, as well as the release of limited editions of cars.

It is worth noting that the line of models of the V-VI generations of the Jetta is distinguished by significant dimensions, which more than distinguish the representatives of this model range from the base Golf model. They have also become safer for both the driver, passengers and children. Subsequent generations of the Jetta had only one version - a sedan, so there is no need to talk about any modification options in the proposed Volkswagen Jetta lines.
