A larger, more upscale version of the Volkswagen Jetta was revealed on Monday for the 2011 model year.

The powertrain lineup will consist of four engines, including a 2,0-litre turbodiesel making 320 N.m of torque. A six-speed manual gearbox is standard, and the six-speed DSG automatic is optional.

The Jetta gets sleeker sheetmetal for the new model year, and it’s fronted by trapezoidal headlights and a high-gloss black grille. The sides are marked by prominent wheel arches, which hold tyres as large as 18 inches. Two-section taillights set off the back end of the car. Look closely at the shoulders, and the NCC concept is visible, while the mirrors borrow their appearance from the premium CC sedan, VW says.

The new car is 90 mm longer bumper-to-bumper at 4.64 m, which VW claims yields best-in-class legroom for the sixth generation Jetta. This helps improve the interior comfort, and legroom is now 967 mm, 66 mm more than before. The cabin also features a new steering wheel, while the back seat continues the 60/40 split tradition.
