Volkswagen Malaysia has teased the specs of the soon-to-be-launched locally-assembled (CKD) Jetta on its website and Facebook page.
Features revealed so far are six airbags, an RCD 320 infotainment system (USB, SD, AUX, Bluetooth, six speakers), a 1.4 litre TSI engine, a 510 litre boot volume and dual-zone climate control.
Our spyshots of the CKD Volkswagen Jetta at JPJ Putrajaya show a car that is, externally, virtually identical to the current RM151,888 (nett selling price) CBU model.
Inside however, the head unit has been upgraded to the newer RCD 320 unit from the locally-assembled Polos (previously RCD 310), and the triple-knob air-con controls from the Mk7 Golf replace the dual-knob ones on the current car.
The Jetta is the fourth Volkswagen to be made here after the Passat, Polo sedan and Polo hatch. Read our review of the CBU Jetta 1.4 TSI.

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments on the blog post about the Volkswagen Jetta CKD reveal mixed sentiments. Many users express skepticism regarding VW's reliability, especially criticizing the DSG transmission's frequent breakdowns and costly repairs, which have led to protests and negative perceptions in Malaysia. Some owners praise the design and driving experience of the Jetta but are concerned about pricing and potential reliability issues, particularly with CKD models possibly omitting the more dependable engines and transmissions. Several commenters suggest that VW’s reputation in Malaysia is suffering due to persistent technical problems and poor after-sales service, and some compare VW unfavorably to Japanese brands like Toyota and Honda. Overall, while there’s interest in the new Jetta, doubts about its reliability and value remain prominent among the commenters.
