Volkswagen Jetta (A6)

The Volkswagen Jetta (A6) is a compact car, the sixth generation of the Jetta and the successor to the A5. Known during development as the NCS, the New Compact Sedan, it was released in 2010 and phased out from 2018 to make way for the A7. It is notable for leaving the premium positioning in the compact segment, a strategy Volkswagen used to raise volume in North America, and for departing from being a sedan derivative of the Golf in favour of dedicated bodywork. It was announced in North America on 16 June 2010, larger and cheaper to make than its predecessor, to compete with the Toyota Corolla, Honda Civic and Nissan Sentra as part of a goal of 800,000 North American sales by 2018. It was produced at the Puebla plant in Mexico and designed mainly by Volkswagen Mexico under Volkswagen Germany, with 70 percent of the parts designed and made in Mexico.
