What does a Jetta look like, and how does she go? Read on to find out how the Volkswagen Jetta 125 TDI is more than just a fashionable sedan on four wheels.

The bulldog is a friendly beast that, though is delightfully docile, can provide quite a bite if provoked. The gentleman-like appearance of Volkswagen’s latest Jetta is welcoming and handsome, however there is quite a punch lying in wait under the bonnet if the driving enthusiast goes hunting for it. I like this drive. The Volkswagen Jetta 125 TDI is right up there with the best of the mid-sized diesel picks.

The Volkswagen Jetta comes with three diesel options. There is the 77 TDI model that has a 1.6 TD engine, the 103 TDI which has a base two-litre TD engine, and then there is the Volkswagen Jetta 125 TDI which has the high performance two-litre turbo-diesel motor offering a lot of verve and dynamism. Fuel efficiency is not lacking in the swift Volkswagen Jetta 125 TDI, but there is noticeably more power at the ready.

Open the throttle out on the motorway and the high advancened TDI engine packs on the pace with seemingly very little effort at all. You may not have guessed, but the 125 in the Volkswagen Jetta 125 TDI model name stands for the 125 kW available at 4200 rpm. And where the Volkswagen Jetta 125 TDI engine holds off all the other models for useable power is in the torque department. The 350 Nm of torque is available from as low as 1750 - 2500 rpm, and is fed via a six-speed DSG gearbox to the front wheels in slick fashion. Evidently, the performance of the Volkswagen Jetta 125 TDI is very brisk, and highly capable of getting you to the next board room meeting well on time.

You can expect a 5.9 litres/100 km return to be the norm for a combined city and country run.

Volkswagen’s cutting-edge TDI engines have diesel particulate filters and the most up-to-date Common Rail technology that injects precise amounts of fuel at exceedingly high pressure. The result is a cleaner burning engine with exceptional fuel economy, impressive torque and gripping performance.
