Volkswagen Jetta Facelift India Launch in February; Details Here

Last year, Volkswagen showcased the facelifted Jetta at various auto shows. Now, Volkswagen is planning to launch the 2015 Jetta on February 17 in India. The 2015 Volkswagen Jetta receives a Passat-like look on the front with optional bi-xenon headlights and LED daytime running lights. On the rear section, the car gets a revised trunk lid with a spoiler along with LED taillights for the GLI and Hybrid versions(which won’t be available in India though). On the interior front, the Jetta also boasts of minor tweaks. Mid and top-end variants now get chromed treatment for the dash and gauges. The car also gets a new flat bottom multi-function steering wheel (similar to the one found on the new Polo), updated air vent controls and piano black accents. According to Volkswagen, the new Jetta has been aerodynamically optimized.
