Not that we were expecting some revolutionary new design or some extraordinary feature. But the 2019 Volkswagen Jetta does not appear to different enough from the existing model to justify the title of ‘new’. In faiess though, they seem to have tried to include some of the design cues from the sexy Arteon into the Jetta, especially around the front and rear fascia.

But on the upside it means that even smaller, cheaper models benefit from the cues of the bigger, more expensive ones. And that is the reason the cabin of the 2018 Mercedes A-Class looks very similar to that of an S-Class. You get the same sor, ...ادامه مطلب
