May 24, Elkhart Lake WI: VW pitched its 2019 Jetta value story to the motoring press at this year’s Midwest Automotive Media Association Rally at Road America. According to VW’s Mark Gillies, the new nicely equipped Jetta costs $1,100 to $3,400 less than last year’s comparable model. Yet, the new version provides more amenities and delivers two-to-six mpg better fuel economy. Items such as an eight-speed automatic, engine start-stop and cycling air conditioner cut fuel consumption.2019 Jetta at Ostoff Resort Media Preview

Since the Jetta uses the Golf’s MQB architecture, Gillies says, it benefits from economies of scale. It also rolls more quietly than last year’s Jetta. Enchanted journalists who drove it on scenic routes near Elkhart Lake picked VW’s sedan as their Family Vehicle of the Year finalist.Journalists took the 2018 Tiguan went off roading, during the MAMA’s event at RA.
