2010 Volkswagen Jetta
Volkswagen have today released its revise 2010 Jetta range featuring a new range of engines, smart and specification levels - as well as a aggressive decrease in pricing - across the whole Jetta line up.
Car Advice this afternoon joined Volkswagen Group Australia for a drive day in Victoria's picturesque Yarra Valley wine region for a taste of what next year's Jetta has to offer.
The 2010 Jetta range now kicks off with a new entry-level model, the 1.6 77TDI, which as the name suggests, is powered by a 77kW turbo-diesel common-rail engine of just 1.6-litres in capacity.
The base model power plant shares much of its technology with Volkswagen's familiar 2.0-litre (103kW) unit, albeit with a reduced capacity, and although some 6kg lighter, is no light-weight when it comes to providing competent on-road performance.
With 250Nm of torque - delivered from a low 1500rpm - the 1.6 77TDI is mated to a choice of traditional five-speed manual or silky smooth seven-speed DSG transmissions which in both instances deliver a fluid drive with only a hint of turbo lag noticed from the stick-shift offering.
In both instances a standard diesel particulate filter sees particulate emissions reduced keeping hand-in-hand with the 1.6 77TDI's low CO2 emissions of just 127 grams per kilometer.
Frugal fuel consumption figures of just 4.9L and 5.0L per 100km (combined) for the manual and automatic models respectively further highlight the economy on offer from this new budget model.
Inside the quiet cabin new Jetta 1.6 77TDI features a generous standard kit list that includes front and rear acoustic parking sensors (optical parking system available as a cost option), revised instrument cluster with white "driver-centric" illumination, updated seat and decorative trims, air conditioning, power windows and mirrors, remote central locking (with window-down and boot release function), chilled glove box, cruise control, and a single CD tuner with steering wheel mounted remote controls.
Jetta also picks up a new sports routing wheel as first seen on the brand's Mark VI Golf models. The air-conditioning system has also been modified to now offer 'soft' and 'rapid' settings.
Outside, the 1.6 77TDI offers 16-inch 'Toronto' alloy wheels in adding to subtle aesthetic changes that include a chrome V-shaped grille (familiar to pass at) and LED tail lamps.
Standard safety tools, common across the whole 2010 Jetta range, includes ABS with EBA and EBD, ESC with Traction Control, EDL (Electronic Differential Lock), a full-size spare wheel, plus front, side and curtain airbags (six in total). Anti-whiplash, height-adjustable headrests and three-point seatbelts are offered in all five seating locations.
