Seaside Car Dealers Review The
Volkswagen Jetta Trim Levels
The 2019 Volkswagen Jetta never fails to impress buyers at dealers like the Seaside car dealership. Some of the reasons this compact sedan remains so popular are its quiet cabin, superlative amount of passenger space, the latest tech features and Volkswagen’s 6-year/72,000-mile transferable bumper-to-bumper warranty.
For 2019, the Jetta gets a redesign that adds a bit more length and a longer wheelbase, which translates into more room for the driver and front-seat passenger than the outgoing model. According to the car dealer near Seaside, new technology features include standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, as well as optional driver-assist technology such as adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking and blind-spot monitoring.
The 2019 Volkswagen Jetta seats five passengers and is offered in five trim levels: S, SE, the new R-Line, SEL and SEL Premium. There’s also a performance Jetta GLI variant, not covered here. All trims are powered by a turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder engine producing 147 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. We’ll take a look at the different models and discover the features that come with each one.
