Volkswagen Jetta (2014) Updates

Thursday, 01 August 2013 11:41 PM Volkswagens decision to replace the hydraulic power steering with electro-mechanical power steering in the 2014 Jetta is expected to improve fuel efficiency and reduce maintenance costs. This is a practical update that benefits both the environment and the owners wallet.

Friday, 12 July 2013 01:18 AM Volkswagen announced that the 2014 Jetta will be the first model in their lineup to feature the new turbocharged 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine with direct injection. This engine replaces the 2.5-liter five-cylinder and is expected to improve fuel economy by 16%. The new engine produces 170 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. I think this is a significant upgrade for the Jetta, making it more fuel-efficient and powerful.

Thursday, 11 July 2013 01:17 PM The 2014 Volkswagen Jetta will also introduce independent rear suspension across all models, including the 1.8-liter and TDI versions. This change is expected to enhance the vehicles handling and ride comfort. Additionally, electro-mechanical power steering will replace the hydraulic setup.

Thursday, 11 July 2013 05:06 PM Volkswagens new connected services, VW Car-Net, will be available on the 2014 Jetta SE with Connectivity and higher trims. This system offers features like crash notification, roadside assistance, and remote vehicle access, all manageable through a smartphone app. This is a great step towards integrating more technology into the vehicle.

Thursday, 11 July 2013 08:19 AM The 2014 Jetta will see several technological updates, including a standard backup camera on the SEL, TDI Premium, and TDI Premium and Navigation trims. Other updates include a high-resolution display in the instrument cluster for the Jetta Hybrid SE, SEL, and SEL Premium trims. Satellite radio and power reclining front seats will also be available on the SE trim.

Thursday, 11 July 2013 07:12 PM Volkswagen has confirmed that the 2014 Jetta GLI will feature the latest version of the turbocharged 2.0-liter engine. Additionally, a 30th-anniversary edition GLI will be available later in the model year, though details are yet to be announced. This special edition could be a great collectors item for enthusiasts.

Thursday, 11 July 2013 08:33 PM The 2014 Volkswagen Jetta is set to go on sale in early August. Pricing has not been announced yet, but with the new engine, suspension, and technology updates, its likely to remain competitive in the compact sedan market. I believe the improvements will make the 2014 model a better choice than the 2013 version.

Thursday, 11 July 2013 08:51 PM All 2014 Jetta models will be E15 fuel capable across all powertrains, aligning with the growing trend of using ethanol-blended fuels. This is a positive move towards more environmentally friendly options.

Thursday, 11 July 2013 06:31 AM Keyless entry and push-button start will be available on the 2014 Jetta SE with Connectivity and Sunroof trim. Navigation and a Fender premium audio system will also be offered on the SEL trim. These features enhance the convenience and entertainment options for drivers.

Thursday, 11 July 2013 06:44 AM The media device interface cable has been relocated to the center console from the glove compartment on SE models and higher. This small change can make a big difference in usability and convenience.
