The new Volkswagen Jetta has been unveiled at Times Square in New York. The vehicle features a sharp new look, greater space and the most advanced range of petrol and diesel engines yet, according to a company release.

Drawing inspiration from the popular NCC (New Compact Coupé) concept car which made its debut at the Detroit Motor Show in January, the new Volkswagen Jetta was styled under the leadership of Klaus Bischoff, head of design for the Volkswagen brand.

The new Volkswagen Jetta mixes the practicality of being able to seat five adults with a large, 510 litre loadspace and a comprehensive range of standard safety features including six airbags,ABS and Electronic Stabilisation Programme (ESP).

The overall length of the Jetta has grown by 90 mm to measure 4,644 mm. In addition, the wheelbase has also been extended to 2,648 mm, an increase of 70 mm, resulting in 67 mm greater legroom for rear seat passengers.

The new Volkswagen Jetta will be powered by a range of advanced petrol and diesel forced induction engines.

The original Jetta was launched in Germany in 1979 with over 9.6 million vehicles sold with the nameplate since then.

The new Volkswagen Jetta UK sales will commence in early 2011 with prices and specifications being announced nearer this time.
