Jetta Facelift – Side by Side Comparison

You can click on any of the photos on this page for a larger version…


Since the Jetta 6 facelift is a bit subtle, we decided to put some side by side comparison shots together to make it a little easier to spot the differences.


FRONT


A new front grill with a new front bumper are the two main areas of change. The LED headlamps were borrowed from the GLI and Hybrid Jetta models and Instead of the smiley looking front bumper on the old car, the ends now turn down and are slightly larger and more aggressive which makes the front end look a bit wider now. Also the headlamps are actually the same shape, however the front bumper doesn’t angle up to meet the grill under the front corner of the headlamp and it appears more squared off.

SIDE


The side view looks a little more squared off at the front and rear with slightly sharper creases. The wider lower front bumper looks more aggressive compared to the old car. The rear trunk lid has a subtle lip now and the rear bumper reflectors now curve up instead of down.

REAR


The new rear of the facelifted Jetta 6 looks a LOT like the rear of the Audi A4. The trunk lid is all new with a subtle lip edge at the top and a much larger cutout of the license plate area between the tail lights. The rear bumper is slightly more creased and the reflector areas now curve up instead of down. The tail lamps have some very minor internal reflector changes (larger rear white reverse light sections for example) and LED’s are available on more trim levels.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

T-Prime Makes World Premiere at Beijing

[ See image gallery at www.vwvortex.com ] The SUV segment is one of the fastest growing segments in the world and Volkswagen is showing the world how to do it. With the new T-Prime Concept GTE that was revealed today, the company is showing off all of the technology you can look for in its coming models. The T-Prime is a full-size hybrid SUV that can go up to 31 miles on a charge and gets 87 mpg. The hybrid power station is good for 375 hp and 516 lb/ft of torque and puts the power down with 4MOTION all wheel drive. It’ll get you up to 60 in six seconds. The concept’s real party piece, though, is its interior, which features exclusively touch, gesture, and voice controls. Everything from the infotainment, to the display, and even the gears are controlled by touch-screen. The T-Prime Concept GTE is bigger than the Touareg, and design elements are likely to find their way into all of their SUVs, of which there will be many. Volkswagen is also announcing that they expect to make an S...

Audi Teases the e-tron’s Headlights Ahead of LA Reveal

Audi will unveil its new electric car, the e-tron GT, in just a few short days, but until then, it will do what manufacturers can’t help but do and will tease it mercilessly. The latest teaser images first appeared on Germany’s Bild , and feature some of the EV’s lighting. While the taillights look reasonably familiar, albeit on an interesting, angular surface, the headlights feature a heretofore unseen light shape. The X-shape (or maybe an R-shape, from the right angle) in the middle of the e-tron GT’s headlights set it apart from the rest of the lineup, even the e-tron SUV (whose lights look R8-ish with their angular check-shaped top line.) #Sneak Peek: the #Audi #etron GT concept – stay tuned for the big #world #premiere on November 28. pic.twitter.com/NIg0z6bIwR — AUDI AG (@Audi_Press) November 25, 2018 The long and low sedan will be based on the same platform as the Porsche Taycan, which is said to hit 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds and whose batteries will all be stowed...
