Tech is the Highlight of the 2016 Jetta

For fans of Volkswagen's Jetta, 2016 is going to be an exciting year. Many long-rumored features will be arriving on the German automaker's compact car.

While most of the changes to the Jetta line come in the form of new or updated technological innovations, another big one is coming under the hood. The long-serving 2.0L naturally-aspirated engine has been retired from the Jetta line, and instead has been replaced by a 1.4L turbocharged one. Volkswagen estimates that the new engine will improve fuel economy by 15 percent over the outgoing 2.0L engine, while also improving power by 35 hp.

One of the more exciting new features in the 2016 Jetta is the arrival of the MIB II Infotainment system. With lower trim levels, it will come with a 5-inch touchscreen, while higher trims will get the 6.3-inch model. The system brings a higher level of smartphone integration to the Jetta. Models equipped with app-connect will be able to integrate Android Auto, Apple CarPlay and MirrorLink. The MIB II will make smartphone pairing easier then ever for Volkswagen owners.

There will also be several driver-assistance innovations coming to the 2016 Volkswagen Jetta. 

• Adaptive Cruise Control will use radar to maintain a set speed and distance from the vehicle in front of you.
• Forward Collision Warning/Autonomous Emergency Braking can warn drivers of impending front-end collisions, and engage the brakes to avoid it.
• Automatic Post-Collision Braking System applies brakes in the event of an accident to limit further impact damage.

All told, the new features in the 2016 Volkswagen Jetta should make the vehicle and exciting option for those searching for a new car in the compact segment. Stop by the Olympia Automall today to get a look at all the new Volkswagens, and schedule a test drive today.
