Volkswagen Gives New Jetta A CC Style Refresh - Will That Bolster Sales?

Volkswagen is betting that there's enough life left in the floundering U.S. compact sedan segment to draw new customers to the redesigned 2019 Volkswagen Jetta.

The Jetta is the German brand's best-selling model in the U.S., and carried the water in the market before VW made a big move into crossovers this year with the three-row Atlas and redesigned 2018 Tiguan. Now, Volkswagen believes that much-improved driving dynamics, more technology and a more fuel-efficient gasoline powertrain in a redesigned Jetta that is moving onto the brand's global MQB platform will draw sedan customers into its showrooms.

It looks like another old dowdy Jetta. They are no longer the standouts that the 99 to 04 Jettas were.

I didn't know there ever existed a "Jetta CC". So, this is a new model? Replacing the old CC which is now the Arteon?

Should help the Jetta to look more premium than the past econobox look, especially given its price.

I have seen pictures of the mule and it looks ok. It does have some design elements of the Aerton. However I heard VW is going back to the "Beam" axle to keep the price down again. To me that seems like a backward step in driving dynamics. That was the complaint of the current Jetta until they switched to IRS on all models. VW still thinks that Americans don't care about these things. However when you drive a Mazda 3 or Honda Civic you can tell where the suspension engineering went.
