Status: New for 2019
Summary: Volkswagen’s replacement for the CC is
considerably larger than that retired model and is slightly
larger than the current Passat sedan.
But the fastback body that has been fitted with a lift-gate
instead of a trunk makes it both practical and stylish.
It also arrives with plenty of standard gear, including
tri-zone climate control, heated front seats and active
dampers (shocks) that react in milliseconds to varying
road conditions and driver inputs for a smoother, more
controlled ride.
All Arteons come with a turbocharged four-cylinder en-gine
with 268 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque.
It’s connected to an eight-speed automatic transmis-sion.
Front-wheel-drive is standard, while VW’s 4Motion
all-wheel-drive is available.
Among the list of options are a panoramic sunroof,
configurable digital gauge display, proximity-opening
power liftgate and an array of active-safety tech.
An R-Line package adds unique front bumper, gloss
black rear spoiler, special interior trim and 19- or 20-inch
wheels (18-inchers are standard).

Summary: The Jetta perches on
Volkswagen’s latest MBQ platform
that’s used as the foundation for a
number of VW and Audi models.
It’s stiffer, which is important for
overall driving quality, comfort and
reducing noise levels.
The 147-horsepower turbocharged
four-cylinder engine carries over es-sentially
unchanged from 2018.
Buyers can select from a six-speed
manual transmission or avail-able
eight-speed automatic.
Both are upgrades from the previ-ous
five-speed manual gearbox and
the extra-cost six-speed automatic.
The previously optional turbo-charged
170-horsepower 1.8-liter
is nowhere in sight, but the hot
Jetta GLI — sporting a turbocharged
220-horsepower 2.0-liter I-4 — is
expected later in the model year.
For cost- and weight-saving rea-sons,
Volkswagen installed a torsion-beam
(solid) rear axle in place of
the previous independent multi-link
setup, which is a possible culprit.
Anyone preferring a multi-link-equipped
Jetta should wait for the
GLI to show up.
The base Jetta S includes most
standard gear plus an electronic
parking brake and 16-inch alloy
wheels (no wheel covers).
The next-in-line SE adds a pan-oramic
sunroof, dual-zone climate
control, heated front seats, 17-inch
alloy wheels and blind-spot monitor
with rear-traffic alert.
You can go all out with the
R-Line, SEL and SEL Premium trim
levels, the latter being equipped with
navigation, leather seats, heated
steering wheel, remote start and
crash-avoiding/mitigating dynamic-safety
tech.
