The German brand is taking aim straight at the world's best selling compact with a new Jetta sedan which should join the lineup in Australia in 2011. The upcoming Jetta is based on the latest-model Volkswagen Golf, the sixth-generation hatchback, with the promise of slightly more length and width than the car that has been in Australian showrooms since early in 2006.
Jetta VI is already being set for sales of more than 160,000 cars a year in the USA, with production set for Volkswagen's factory at Puebla in Mexico. The new Jetta is caught by the Carparazzi scoop photographers during hot-weather testing in America and is clearly a development of the new Golf. There is some of the usual camouflage but nothing to distract from the basic design.
Carparazzi sources say Jetta VI is not expected to go into production for the USA until the final quarter of next year, when it will be sold as a 2011 model. But there is no news yet on the latest plan for Europe, where Volkswagen has been working through the various Golf models — including the GTi that hits Australia later this year — and the baby Polo.
Volkswagen Group Australia will not discuss any Jetta plans, although they will be significantly different to the USA as the car sold here is built in South Africa.
