2015 Volkswagen Jetta facelift price & specs – costs from £18,815

The facelifted VW Jetta is now on sale in the UK

The Volkswagen Jetta – a VW Golf with a boot – is getting a bit of a facelift for 2015 (although you’d be hard-pushed to see the changes) and now, after its reveal at the New York Motor Show in April, it’s going on sale in the UK. Although the cosmetic changes to the Jetta are minor – the usual tweaks to the back and front, including a revised grill – VW claim the small changes it’s made result in a Jetta that’s ten per cent more aerodynamic (which makes you wonder why they didn’t do it earlier).

The visual changes inside are just as minor, with a new steering wheel, new trims and new fabric options, with ambient lighting fitted to the Jetta GT.

Engine options are a 1.4 litre TSI with 123bhp or 148bhp – with the 123bhp version getting a six-speed manual and the 148bhp the option of a seven-speed DSG ‘box – and a 2.0 litre TDI with either 108bhp – when it gets a 5-speed manual or 7-speed DSG – or 148bhp when the manual ‘box on offer is a six-speed.

The new Jetta comes in three trim flavours – S, SE or GT – with the S getting DAB, ESC, electric windows and AirCon, the SE adding 16″ alloys, Bluetooth, leather-trimmed steering wheel, Cruise and MDI and the Jetta GT adding 15mm lower suspension, 17″ alloys, Fogs, sports seats, auto lights and wipers, driver alert and ambient lighting.

The 2015 Volkswagen Jetta is now on sale in VW’s UK showrooms with first customer cars expected in december 2014.
