What to expect from the 2017 Volkswagen Jetta in Baton Rouge

As we get ready for the next model year for cars here at Southpoint Volkswagen, we want to share a little of what to expect from the 2017 Volkswagen Jetta. Volkswagen has been making tremendous strides in recent years of responding to what Volkswagen owners want, need, and ask for, without abandoning what makes the Volkswagen Jetta loved and respected in the first place. The 2017 Jetta is a great example of that response.

Overall, Volkswagen has simplified the Jetta lineup for 2017, narrowing it down to four models. The base model is the S. Then there’s the SE, the SEL, and the SEL Premium (though you’ll likely need to special order this one).

The Jetta S will feature 16-inch steel wheels as standard. Also standard is a rearview camera, LED DRLs, and two-tone cloth seats. It also offers the option of a cold weather package (not that we need that in Baton Rouge).

The midline Jetta SE adds VW Car-Net connectivity, a sunroof, LED DRLs, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shifter knob, Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Traffic Alert, and V-Tex leatherette seating surfaces with rear pass-through functionality.

The Jetta SEL trim will now feature a power driver’s seat; LED DRLs; exterior chrome accents; Climatronic automatic dual-zone climate control; Forward Collision Warning and Autonomous Emergency Braking (Front Assist); and Adaptive Cruise Control.

These additions come in the wake of improvements made last year, like the upgrades to the infotainment system which made it compatible with both Apple Car Play and Android Auto. Compatibility with multiple systems is something that a number of car makers are still struggling with. This coupled with the larger than normal back seat for a smaller sedan, an enormous trunk, and the safety standards that Volkswagen has always been proud of and last year’s Jetta was in the running for Motor Trend’s Car of the Year award. Let’s see where this year’s upgrades take it.
