New York 2014: 2015 Volkswagen Jetta Live Shots
Though the 2015 Volkswagen Jetta bowing at the 2014 New York Auto Show may be refreshed, most of the work may just be too subtle to notice at first.
Updates to the outgoing model include LED running lights for daytime cruising, new tail and trunk lighting, revised rain gutters, and underbody shrouding.
Under the hood, three gasoline engines and one turbodiesel help move the Jetta along. The all new 2-liter TDI with a six-speed manual holds a combined 37 mpg while pushing 150 horses with 236 lb-ft of torque through the front wheels.
Inside, the biggest change is an upgrade in technology for the Jetta, including blind-spot monitoring, adaptive front lighting with Bi-Xenon headlamps, and rear cross-traffic alert. Other interior upgrades include new fabrics, air vent controls and ambient lighting.
The new Jetta will arrive in U.S. showrooms Q3 2014.

It's rather conservative looking. I suppose that will appeal to some.
I liked the pre-facelift Jetta better, mainly because of the front end. The previous model didn't have such a tall grille, and the lower part of the VW emblem fit into a divot in the bumper, mirroring the way the upper part of the emblem fit into a divot in the hood. Now most of the emblem is lost/surrounded by black space.
