In which year was the old Jetta discontinued?
2 Answers
The boxy, matchbox-like design of the old Jetta remained unchanged for at least two decades, with production continuing until 2012 when it was finally discontinued. Here are the detailed specifications: 1. Jetta Performance: The performance, handling, comfort, and durability of the Jetta are unmatched by A0-class vehicles. It features a larger displacement and a low-revving engine, which delivers torque earlier. This gives the Jetta a significant advantage in city driving, offering stronger power compared to vehicles of the same displacement—commonly referred to as "having more punch." 2. Advantages of the Jetta: (1) Affordable: In any country, the majority of people are not wealthy, much like the vast base of a pyramid, while the rich are as rare as the pyramid's peak. The Jetta's extremely low price ensured its strong sales. (2) Fuel-efficient: The Jetta's combined fuel consumption is around 6L, which is significantly lower than many other family sedans. Especially in China, where fuel prices are high, buying a Jetta is a smart choice to save on gasoline costs. (3) High resale value: In China, both new and used Volkswagen vehicles, including the Jetta, are in high demand. Due to its durability, even used Jettas maintain good quality, making them attractive to buyers and thus ensuring a high resale value.
The production of the old Jetta was discontinued in 2012, and I've always kept that in mind. As a young person who loves classic car models, I find that car particularly legendary. Its production in China started as early as 1991, and it remained a hot seller for over two decades, commonly seen as taxis and family cars. After its discontinuation in 2012, the market shifted towards new technology models, such as the new Jetta, which focuses more on environmental protection and intelligence. But I always miss the old Jetta's durability and reliability—it had fewer breakdowns and cheaper maintenance. Cars from that era had simple but reliable designs, and you can still find a few well-maintained ones in the used car market, though they require more frequent upkeep due to their age. Times have progressed, but that sense of purity is truly nostalgic and reflects the inevitable upgrades in the automotive industry.
