We’ve already seen the new generation Volkswagen Passat and the new Volkswagen Polo Sedan going around town in the past, but the road convoy’s been missing the model that slots in between them so far – the Volkswagen Jetta.
The new Jetta finally makes its appearance without a road tax sticker or number plates at somewhere which is claimed by reader Paul Wee to be an apartment carpark somewhere in the Klang Valley. Wee doesn’t specify where exactly in his email.
The new Jetta grows in size and wheelbase compared to the outgoing model and it no longer looks like a booted Golf, having its own unique sheetmetal now. It also has a longer wheelbase compared to the Mk6 Golf which should translate to greater interior space.
