Santa Cruz Volkswagen Shoppers Revisit
The 2019 Volkswagen Jetta

The 2019 Volkswagen Jetta is a sophisticated compact sedan that provides owners with lots of space to carry cargo and excellent fuel economy. Santa Cruz Volkswagen shoppers tell us they also appreciate the Jetta’s spacious cabin and luxurious available features. Of course, the Jetta benefits from Volkswagen’s renowned reliability as well as its exceptional warranty.

For 2019, the Volkswagen Jetta gets a complete redesign. According to the Volkswagen dealer near Santa Cruz, Volkswagen added more standard features, including an updated infotainment system and full-LED lighting. Upscale options include the Digital Cockpit, which utilizes a 10.3-inch screen in the instrument cluster that replaces the speedometer and tachometer. There’s a new R-Line trim, which adds a sporty appearance, as well as a top-of-the-line SEL Premium trim.

The new Jetta is slightly larger than last year’s model, with a longer wheelbase. The styling gets a touch more sophistication, with a larger grille and a more aggressive stance. The additional size means front-seat passengers will have more room to stretch out and be comfortable.
