Those who are already familiar with the technical component of the German Volkswagen Jetta say that this generation is in many ways ahead of global trends in equipping ordinary models with innovative developments. But Volkswagen is not afraid of experiments, so in the next version of the Jetta it allows you to try out an intelligent lighting system with monitoring of "blind spots" and some security control systems. At the moment, all the details are not disclosed, but there is a Volkswagen Jetta - 6, whose technical characteristics are officially known and worth paying attention to.
So, let's go directly to the consideration of the main types of engines that the 2014 Jetta model is equipped with. What are their features and what can Volkswagen developers boast of to competitors? For this, there must be more than weighty arguments.
Characteristics of the control system of the Jetta model
In order to start talking about those features of the sixth generation Volkswagen Jetta, first of all, you should pay attention to the PQ35 platform, which became the basis for this car. It has undeniable advantages that will be obvious to the owner after the first trip. This platform allows the owner to perfectly cope with the control of his vehicle, the steering wheel is easy to control and ready for absolutely any action on the part of the driver. New disc brakes (rear and front) with ABS system allow you to brake smoothly without causing discomfort to either the driver or passengers.
According to the test drive of the car, this representative of the Volkswagen family has excellent driving characteristics, as well as high sensitivity of the control system, which is especially noticeable when passing sharp turns and uneven road surfaces. Also, the stability of the car on the road is provided by a whole range of electronic systems:
- road stability ESP;
- safe braking ABS;
- anti-towing ASR;
- differential lock EDS;
- braking monitoring with MSR motor.
The newest feature on the Volkswagen Jetta 6 is called Hill Holder (HHC) which is the “Electronic Hill Climb Assist”. That is, this function allows the car at the beginning of the movement, being on a slope, not to roll down, due to the injection of pressure into the brake system. HHC will be active until the gas pedal is pressed.
If we discuss the moment of stiffness of the suspensions of this car, then in this case it is determined by the size of the rubber that the wheels of the car are equipped with:
1) comfortable suspension if R16 tires are used;
2) tough hodovka, but well controlled, on tires R17.
The main modifications of the Volkswagen Jetta VI power units
The manufacturer offers Volkswagen JettaVI on the Russian market with the following options for gasoline power plants, the technical characteristics of which we will now list:
- 1.6 liter engine designed for 105 hp
- turbocharged version with a volume of 1.4 liters and a power of 122 hp.
- modification of 1.4 l, with turbocharging and intercooling function with a capacity of 150 hp
As for the additional equipment, it is worth mentioning the transmission that the presented modifications of the Volkswagen Jetta VI are equipped with. As a rule, this is a 6-7-speed DSG transmission and a 6-speed manual. For the American buyer, the Volkswagen Jetta has a 5 and 6-speed gearbox with a hydromechanical automatic. The Volkswagen transmission shifts imperceptibly for the driver and passengers, and all this happens in just a fraction of a second, while the main power of the moving vehicle is not reduced, which ensures a smooth ride.
Thus, this gearshift system allows significant fuel savings and does not pollute the environment. This model has become a sales leader in a short period of time, but less than six months are left before sales of the VII version of the Volkswagen Jetta start in Russia. So, what should you pay attention to in the 2015 model, or rather, what characteristics can surprise fans of a truly German car Volkswagen Jetta.
Updated Jetta: 2015 version
This time, models with the following modifications of power units will be offered for purchase:
- 2L petrol engine and optional 1.8L and 2L turbocharged versions of the EA888 series;
- a 2 liter diesel and a 1.4 liter turbocharged full hybrid unit.
The list, which included the characteristics of the equipment of the new version of the Jett, also turned out to be extended:
- innovative head lighting systems AFS, with adaptation to traffic conditions and control of "blind spots";
- interactive assistance when parking a car;
- bi-xenon headlights with an additional possibility of light control of turns, with a deviation of the light beam by no more than 15 0 .
According to the developers of Volkswagen Jetta, the re-staling sedan will appear in dealerships by the beginning of 2015 and its base cost will be about 700,000 rubles, which will once again be obvious competition for similar cars in this price niche. Since the previous year was remembered for the huge circulation of the Jetta model, more than 9 million copies were sold worldwide (including in Russia). Thus, Volkswagen sells just over 100,000 Volkswagen Jettas in the US domestic market alone per year. The new design, improved specifications and other innovative technologies in vehicle equipment make it possible to speak of the new Volkswagen Jetta model as the next leader in the market of expensive comfort-class sedans that will be in great demand in Asia, North America, Eastern Europe and, of course, well, in Russia.
