VW held a regional meeting today and these items were discussed. This info was posted on another VW site.
I just came back with a regional meeting with VW Factory reps. We were able to get pretty good information and updates about all new VW products, which I am sharing with you here.
Just to get it out of the way – Golf R – no plans on the horizon, which means that it is not going to happen for 2011 or 2012, if ever.
New Touareg: will be released in October, V6 and V6 TDI. Limited number of hybrids (600) will be released later. Reportedly – very close to the Cayenne, not much on the gas mileage, but more on performance, supposed to have towing capacity of 7,700 Lbs. Not every dealer will be selling them – the tool kit for service will cost at least $3,000, and technicians will have to go through a week long training.
NMS – the Passat replacement is schedule to come out next summer, the name has nto been finalized, it could be “Passat”, or they could change it.
New “New” Beetle – will be out next summer followed by Convertible.
Tiguan – facelift next year
Eos – facelift next year
And the main topic – NCS, or the new Jetta. The car will be about 3″ longer than the MKV, and will look like a mix between the current Jetta and Audi A4. There are no plans yet for coupe to go into production.
Schedule: gas model to arrive in limited numbers in September, followed by mass production, TDI to arrive in January, and GLI to arrive in May.
Trim configuration – we didn’t have any materials to take with us, so I have only some details I was able to catch, but it should be enough to give you an idea:
Jetta S1 – 2.0, 115 hp, 15″ steel wheels, no AC, no radio
Jetta S2 – same car with AC and radio
SE1 – 2.5, 170 hp, leatherette
SE2 – Bluetooth and alloys, sunroof
SE3 – Premium 8 sound system
SEL1 -navigation and 17″s
SEL2 – same with sunroof
SEL3 – same with sport package
TDI1 – similar to the current one
TDI2 – with nav
GLI1 – 2.0T, 17″, sport suspension
GLI2 – sunroof
GLI3 – navigation
General points: the new sound system – RSD-310 will be standard, and Premium 8 will be an upgrade from SE3. Also there will be two nav systems available – the new smaller one, and the RNS-510. There will be no separate options, such as sunroof, or iPod adaptor, everything will be packaged.
