VW's all-new Jetta. The company is counting on this car big time to take on the Corolla and Civic and win. Will launch a mid-size sedan soon as well to replace Passat.

Ahead of the car’s official debut tomorrow, the folks at AutoExpress have released a selection of photos showing the all-new 2011 Volkswagen Jetta sedan. Rather than being based on the same architecture as the Golf, the 2011 Jetta gets an all-new platform.
In Europe the new compact sedan will come with either a selection of gasoline engines including a 104-horsepower 1.2-liter TSI, a 121-hp 1.4-liter TSI and a 200-hp 2.0-liter TSI. As for diesels, two options will also be on the table including a 104-horsepower 1.6 TDI and a 138-hp 2.0-liter TDI.
According to rumors and reports, when it does arrive in North America, the 2011 Jetta is expected to cost under $15,000 to start and will get a torsion beam rear suspension rather than the European fully-independent unit in a bid to save costs.

Il y avait jusqu’ici beaucoup de spéculation entourant le positionnement de la nouvelle Jetta. Allait-elle grossir pour se comparer aux intermédiaires, ou plutôt viser les compactes telles les Honda Civic et Mazda3?
Eh bien Volkswagen a choisi la seconde option. La prochaine Jetta sera différente de la Golf, visera principalement le marché nord-américain et sera plus que jamais une rivale des ténors de la catégorie des compactes. Il s’agira également du nouveau modèle d’entrée de gamme de Volkswagen, puisque son prix de départ sera inférieur à celui de la Golf actuelle.
