2019 Volkswagen Jetta SEL Premium Review & Drive

  • The all-new 2019 Jetta is the most premium Jetta ever. Volkswagen took some cues from Audi to upgrade this new generation. Although the 1.4T doesn't have a lot of power, its torque shines through very early to give it a more spirited drive than you'd expect. Technically it's in the compact car class, but it's quite large and interior space shows. Volkswagen did a good job with this Jetta with the exception of a couple small complaints, but most people will feel like they're getting a great value with this 2019 VW Jetta.
    A huge thank you to Volkswagen!

    Was heavily involved with the development of this (working at VW in Germany); you really did cover most points that were important to us with the Jetta. One thing I want people to understand is that we benchmarked Civic, Elantra and Cruze and wanted to create something that is a little more premium looking, a little more fun to drive / engaging (that’s why you e.g. get the Turbo or can connect the ambient light to the drive mode) and offers more comfort - hence the ventilated seats, connectivity and all the driver assistance you can use every day.
    However, with a lower price, 6 year warranty and customers expecting the lowest lease rate possible we had to cut somewhere. The equation is simple: Want an even better ride? Get the GLI with multilink rear axle. Want better materials in the back? Get a Passat. I’m very proud the car is what it is! Again, pricewise def. we targeted Civic, NOT Accord, so keep that in mind + rest assured we are profitable BUT it’s not like we’re getting rich on each Jetta..! The customer is getting INCREDIBLE VALUE for the price...especially on the base trims S and SE...

      Fabian, thank you so much for this information. I’m glad that I was able to cover some of those points, but I surely could have been more detailed. All of what you said makes sense and I was happy to see everything that you guys put into this car. It really was impressive in a lot of ways! Definitely pinning this comment and I appreciate you watching and sharing this! 👍

      One gripe of mine for the Jetta and Passat is the lack of adjustable armrests. It would be​ great to have that feature back.

      I believe middle of next year.
      This is a great value. I probably would've gotten this over my a3 if the screen wasn't touch and instead had the controls that the audi has.

    Thanks for watching! Let me know what you think of the car.
    It offers quite a bit for the "compact" class. My biggest takeaway with this car was that it actually gets advertised MPGs and power is better than you think for this 1.4T. Please hit the "Like" button and Subscribe if you found this video helpful!

    Excellent review! The all-new Jetta sure seems like one of the "compact" sedans to beat in its class. Not only does it look ultra-sleek and boast an audi-esque design language (inside and out), but the overall features available are pretty mind blowing... Especially for a compact rated vehicle.
    Nevertheless, you did a great job display the features of this vehicles. From one car reviewer to another, keep up the great work!

    • @PrimeAutotainment
      @PrimeAutotainment  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you! Very well said. They definitely offered a lot for this class. Thanks for watching!
      Looking forward to your Genesis review 👍

    @j_owens6208 5 ปีที่แล้ว +18

    Definitely one of the better reviews I've seen for the Jetta. As silly as it sounds, one of my favorite features is the ambient lighting, so thank you for covering that to a greater degree than everyone else. The whole time was thinking it looks like you are in the DFW area. Was trying to pause the video to see the street signs to see if I was right, so thank you for mentioning you were driving in DFW. Not a big deal of course, but was curious to see if I was right. Lol. Again, thank you for the great review. Oh, and definitely great tidbit about holding the lock button down to close the windows and sunroof.

    • @PrimeAutotainment
      @PrimeAutotainment  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This car is almost perfect and owners wont be disappointed because it offers elegant styling, sophisticated German engineering and practical cabin. Its a class leading compact car with fuel efficiency matching the Japanese and Korean rivals. Great review of a good car

    • @PrimeAutotainment
      @PrimeAutotainment  6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Very well said. It’s quite impressive for this class and a really big car for this class too lol. VW expects it to rise in sales again despite crossover hungry buyers

      at least while its under warranty. my mk6 had 3 water pumps, intake manifold, and a radiator replaced before 36k. completely stock. loved the car but had to ditch it.

      But the reliability is still hard to tell

    • @ZalmaiPashtun
      @ZalmaiPashtun 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Absolutely but its reliability will still remain better than its American competitors and given the long warranty so shouldnt be much of a concern ;)

    Infotainment system is sharp with the graphics with quick response to commands and really easy to use.

  • @GreyShamrock
    @GreyShamrock 5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I really liked how you incorporated the initial startup graphics of the Jetta into your intro and then transitioned to your driving shots with it. I hope you do this with more of your reviews, or maybe incorporate the headlamps/taillights starting up if you think they're particularly interesting enough.
    Very well done!

    • @PrimeAutotainment
      @PrimeAutotainment  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you very much! I’m happy to hear what you liked and the idea of the headlight/taillight, that would look nice!

    Test driving a 2019 Jetta SEL Premium today (blue with the gray interior). I sat in it yesterday and I was surprised how comfortable it was for me at 6' 3". Literally better than any other compact sedan I've tried. The 8-way power seats really help me get the leg room and thigh support I need. Only 12K miles on it - local trade and perfectly maintained according to the service manager at the dealership. The 2019 had such a long warranty (and its transferable) - there's still 44 months and 59K miles left on the factory bumper to bumper warranty. If all goes well it will be in my garage tonight!

    Hi! I’m from Lima, Perú and I bought the Highline version here (best available in South American) with the digital cockpit on a special version. I have not checked the Civic or Mazda 3 but I believe I still made the right call. It feels more premium than it really is and on the outside it has a great look.

    • @PrimeAutotainment

    Coming from the Honda/Acura guy that I am, I was so impressed with the 2019 Jetta that I bought one. Wife leased a 2018 Tiguan and I was really impressed. Gave the car a test drive and I was sold. Didn't want an S trim but dealership gave me an awesome deal so I did it! One big gripe is the fog lights, why are they only offered on the R type? I hate the big goobs of black plastic on the front of car

    • @PrimeAutotainment

    I have a sel premium and I like it a lot , very efficient, and I am coming from a subaru legacy 3.6r and i mostly do not miss the power , and even sometimes ( stop and go , for example ) I feel more power with the VW , on and all , very nice car and it may well compete in the midsize cars category and not just with compacts

    • @PrimeAutotainment
      @PrimeAutotainment  6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm considering this over a mid sized car like Camry or Mazda 6. So many great features at a price I can handle. Perfect car for the city with lots of low end torque, and excellent fuel economy. Considering VW has an excellent warranty now this might be a car I need to check out soon. Or maybe a GTI.........I have trouble making decisions.

    • @PrimeAutotainment

    Just found your channel and good solid car review. Thorough without being boring and good information and driver experience throughout the review. I gotta say I really liked this color combination on this one you reviewed. Do you know what the exterior/interior colors were called? The outside looked greenish/Gray. I liked the lighter seats with the black carpet too.

    • @PrimeAutotainment
      @PrimeAutotainment  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you very much, I truly appreciate hearing that. The outside was Sage Green Metallic and Interior was Storm gray. I liked the colors on it too! That exterior color would be greener in bright light and more gray in shady or darker times, and I liked it! Thanks for watching!

    Very good video and covered all the key points. What is disappointing is there is no Homelink and the cost is inexpensive. I have Homelink in my 2015 TDI SEL Jetta on the visor. I hope they add this in the near future as I'm looking to get the SEL Premium.

    @JohnBaril 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Good review! The car is attractive, if not beautiful. I agree, the rear quarter view is the best one. Cabin is attractive; I like the driver-oriented dashboard-it’s a little bit Saab-y. I had an A3 and this is just as nice. I drove an 2018 with the 1.4L and it’s plenty of power. Still, I’d prefer the independent rear suspension and look forward to the GLI.

    • @PrimeAutotainment
      @PrimeAutotainment  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks, John! All good points! It really surprised me with the upgrades they made for this model. The 1.4 was pepper than expected too which was nice. The GLI should be a nice riding and fun car once it’s here. Thanks for the input and for watching!

    Thanks for the video. You have more knowledge than most VW sales people. I am thinking of getting one. SInce I am a vegan, I like the SEL option with V-Tek Leatherette. However, big downside is the manual drivers seat. The big difference between SEL and Civic EX is the panoramic sunroof ... I will likely buy a new car in a week or so ... thanks for covering the Jetta, you saved me a lot of time at the dealership(s)

    • @PrimeAutotainment
      @PrimeAutotainment  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you for the kind words! Good point on the leatherette too. Good luck picking your new car! In addition to the Jetta and Civic...a couple others I would look into would be the 2020 Toyota Corolla, 2019 Mazda3, and Kia Forte. Anyways, good luck and thanks for watching 😁

    Great review. The size and style of this car is right. Not over done with curves and creases as some Japanese models make me say "why", yuk. Side by side to a Passat it's really close in size. I just wish the S with a 6 speed came with a sun roof. I know on trips with the 6 speed I would get mid 40,s mpg. I rather call it a mid size while the price is unbeatable, it's on my list. I want mpg,s without a gookey style as a Prius, even Civic.

    Big improvement over the last generation Jetta. The interior space and great mileage makes it an ideal commuter vehicle. I'll reserve overall judgment until I see the GLI. I'm not highly optimistic, though. VW seems intent on not cannibalizing sales of the GTI by making the Jetta too much of a driver's car.

    • @PrimeAutotainment
      @PrimeAutotainment  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      I agree. I was definitely impressed in a lot of ways. Like you said, excellent commuter car. I’m anxious to see the GLI as well...we shall see. Thanks for watching!

      @johnspohn888 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      The green looked really good yet don't understand the interior color which I liked. If you build your own on VW.com in the green you only get two interior choices. One if the UGLY titan black and dark beige and the other is storm grey. The car in this video had the cool two tone dash and the light beige seats. How is this possible?

    Thanks for the review. Looks like a nice car, I don’t like the fact you can’t black out the moonroof but I still like the car. I’ll have to study the difference in prices with the other models, not sure the moonroof is worth it. Or the gimmicky lights. Cool looking car and love the warranty and price

    • @PrimeAutotainment

    Howdy! Great video sir! Looking to replace my 2016 GLI towards the end of the lease with this (money is tight too).
    I do have to ask about the auto Start/Stop.. Does it kick like a mule when coming back on? I've felt that in a Mercedes C class W205, E Class W212, and BMW 440i.
    Did it constantly reset when you turned the engine off/on? i.e. it forgets that you turned it off and turns it on every time.

    • @PrimeAutotainment
      @PrimeAutotainment  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks man! The start stop seemed to be pretty smooth. You certainly could hear it, but from what I remember, I don’t thing there was much of a kick at all. And yes, it defaults back to having it on every time you start it, so you always gotta turn it off if you want.
      There’s a chance in the display settings it could be adjusted, but I don’t think so

      Thank you very much! Oh man both good choices. Have you driven both of them? Definitely pros to each of them. In my opinion, Mazda was more fun to drive but VW seemed roomier/more practical. Both really nice for this class!

      Hey thanks for the tip. The roomier/more practical is not a big deal. I had my eyes on Mazda 3 GT and Mazda 6 GT since the beginning of this year. But there are few things that got me interested in the 2019 VW Jetta, which is the Apple car play.

    • @PrimeAutotainment
      @PrimeAutotainment  6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      No problem. I really don’t think you could go wrong with that Mazda3. I really was impressed with it when I drove it. Very comfortable too. With Apple CarPlay...I’ve heard that it might be possible to “update” the infotainment system to incorporate it once it’s officially available in Mazda’s. Something to look in to I guess.

    • @ric7744
      @ric7744 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Stay away from Mazda 3, just traded in a Mazda 3 Grand Touring. Suspension beats you up on day to day drives. Steering is not adjustable and is to stiff for day to day driving, good for back roads but no way to adjust.

    • @rcayala78

  • @thedude2897
    @thedude2897 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I was looking into getting one of these. Ended up getting a 18 Passat though for more room. The new Jettas interior setup sure is nicer though. I see the 19 Passats looking very similar. I just don't know how I feel with digital dashes because if for whatever reason it breaks or has issues that's going to be costly.

    Nice car indeed. I just wish manufacturer's would stick with one type of light bulb. If you have LED headlamps, DRL mixed with incandescent fog lights and blinkers, it looks bad.

  • @robb.675
    @robb.675 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The thing that might get people to take the Jetta, or any of the other VW's is their warranty. It's 6 year, 72,000 miles. I suspect they had to do that to get people to buy a VW because of the Diesel-gate fiasco. I had a Passat a few years ago, and liked it.

  • @solid1378
    @solid1378 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Great review! Problem with most VW is that due to Diesel Gate, VW has resorted to cost cutting where you can't see, but you can feel. Hence you will find lots of hard interior plastics (will generate lots of squeaks with time) and specifically with this car, torsion beam rear suspension. Not a bad car if you know what you're getting. Again, with any German car, you always lease for term of warranty and never purchase, unless you want to end up in the poorhouse due to expensive maintenance costs.

    • @PrimeAutotainment

      The Golf is an exception. It has a slightly higher quality than the rest of US VWs. Even that, if you drove a European Golf, it is an even higher quality than the US version. Given that, VWs in general do have reliability issues and out of warranty repairs will cost the same as a BMW or Benz. Finally, for every 1 person that says they have a flawless VW, there are 20 that say they will never buy another VW due to issues. This is backed up by sales figures, VW US sells as many VWs in 1 year that Honda US sells in 2 weeks.

    • @stephenhendricks103
      @stephenhendricks103 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      If your figures were anything more than figments of your fevered imagination, VW wouldn't be the largest auto company in the world and the Golf the best selling car in Europe.

    • @solid1378
      @solid1378 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      True, they are the largest but yet they only have approximately 2% of US car sales marketshare. I know, it's shocking for many to believe. However, facts are facts, no matter how inconvenient they may be for you. My numbers are correct and here's my proof...you're welcome... :-)
