2015 Volkswagen Jetta And Golf SportWagen Concept On Show In New York: Live Photos

Volkswagen’s latest Jetta has been on sale since the 2011 model year, during which time it’s seen its engine lineup expanded and a new hybrid variant added. For 2015, the Jetta is receiving its first major update, and we got our first look at the car up close at the 2014 New York Auto Show today. The changes are being introduced to bring the Jetta’s spec closer in line with that of the 2015 Golf, which is about to launch on the market and will be the basis for a new SportWagen. The latter is also being previewed in New York, as a concept.

The changes to the 2015 Jetta are hard to spot; on the outside, you get a revised grille, new LED daytime running lights, and new bumpers. Inside the car, the changes are just as subtle. There are some chrome touches, new ambient lighting options and new seat trim. There are also some new electronic safety features such as blind spot and rear cross traffic warning systems, a frontal collision warning system, and park distance control.
