The main differences between the 2017 and 2019 Jetta models are as follows: 1. Configuration: The 2019 Jetta comes with a multifunction steering wheel, while the 2017 Jetta lacks this feature. The tire size of the 2017 Jetta is smaller than that of the 2019 Jetta. Taking the base model as an example: the front tire size of the 2017 Jetta is 175/70R14, and the rear tire size is 175/70R14. The front tire size of the 2019 Jetta is 185/60R15, and the rear tire size is 185/60R15. 2. Power: Both models have the same power, but the 2017 Jetta has an additional powertrain. The additional powertrain is: equipped with a 1.4T inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, with a maximum power of 96KW and a maximum torque of 225N·m. The 2019 Jetta is positioned as a compact car. 3. Body dimensions: The 2017 Jetta has a body size of 4501mm in length, 1704mm in width, and 1469mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2604mm; the 2019 Jetta has the same body dimensions of 4501mm in length, 1704mm in width, and 1469mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2604mm. 4. Price: The 2019 model is more expensive than the 2017 model.
As a frequent Jetta driver, I find the differences between the 2017 and 2019 models quite noticeable. The 2019 model drives smoother, with thicker and softer seats that prevent backaches on long trips. Externally, the 2019 model features a sharper front grille and LED headlights, providing much better visibility at night. The interior materials have been upgraded, feeling less cheap, and there's a slight increase in space, though it's still just adequate. The 2017 model is comfortable enough, but the 2019 model is quieter, making highway driving less noisy. If you're often stuck in traffic, the 2019 model is significantly more comfortable, a feeling the older model lacks. Upgrading to the newer model also offers slightly better resale value.
