Inovev forecasts 250,000 to 300,000 sales/year for the new VW Jetta
- Volkswagen unveiled the new generation of the Jetta sedan, which was originally a notchback version of the Hatchback Golf, but which gradually gained its independence in the 2000s with a body of its own. The previous version of the Jetta dates from 2010. The new generation introduced at the 2018 Detroit Auto Show is larger and for the first time features three side windows. It is similar in style and size to the American Volkswagen Passat which is manufactured in Chattanooga, and is based on the MQB platform.
- The VW Jetta is traditionally presented in Detroit because the two main markets for this sedan are the United States and Mexico (where it is produced). We do not include here the VW Jetta made in China, because this model has its own life cycle, its own body, and it is only available on the Chinese market.
- As for the Jetta made in Mexico (Puebla), its replacement is taking place at a time when it has been declining for several years in its two main markets, the United States and Mexico. As for exports to the European market, we see that they have gradually fallen to zero in 2017. The new Jetta will not be marketed in Europe, given the failure of this model on this market, customers preferring to choose the Golf (the top selling model in Europe) or even the Passat. Inovev expects between 250,000 and 300,000 sales for the Jetta produced in Mexico.
