Volkswagen AG has launched its new Jetta at the 2018 North American International Auto Show. The model is to arrive at United States dealerships in the coming months. The vehicle is built on the MQB platform that it shares with cars such as the Skoda Octavia, Superb, VW Passat and VW Tiguan, among others. It features full-LED headlamps at the front and a larger grille than the previous model. It is to be equipped with the automaker's 1.4-litre TSI turbocharged petrol engine that generates 150PS of max power and 250Nm of peak torque, coupled with a choice of a six-speed manual transmission, while a new eight-speed DSG automatic (dual-clutch) is optional.
