Volkswagen Jetta

Automobiles

The Volkswagen Jetta is a compact car manufactured and marketed by Volkswagen since 1979, positioned as a sedan niche slightly above the Golf hatchback. Over seven generations it has been sold under many names including Atlantic, Vento, Bora, City Jetta, GLI, Clasico and, in China, Sagitar. It has been offered as a two-door and four-door saloon and sometimes as a five-door wagon. The first generation was a Golf with a new boot grafted on, introduced at the 1979 Frankfurt Auto Show and built from August 1979 at the Wolfsburg plant, and it became the best-selling European car in the United States, Canada and Mexico. By April 2014 Volkswagen had marketed over 14 million Jettas, making it the marque top-selling model.
