Volkswagen Mexico Plant Unveiled the New Jetta

Volkswagen unveiled its newly-revamped Jetta in its Pueblo Plant in Mexico. The new model was created by FAW-Volkswagen in China, and its addition to the Mexico lineup is part of a major hike in production capacity of the Volkswagen Plant in Pueblo. This was made possible by an investment of $40 million, which means that the facility will be able to churn out 450,000 cars a year.
The Mexican Jetta has long been manufactured by Volkswagen, and now is the time to update it. Thus, Volkswagen tapped its FAW-Volkswagen joint venture in China, which had already come up with an attractive plans for the Jetta update, and is producing the same car in Mexico.
The Mexico-bred Jetta will be exported to certain Central and Eastern European markets, in addition to its sales in its home market. It will be powered by either a 2.0-liter gas or a 1.9-liter diesel engine.
Volkswagen manufactures the New Beetle and both the current and previous-generation Jettas in Mexico. In order to distinguish between the latter two, the previous generation is called Jetta, while the current one is called Bora. Bora is known as Jetta in North America.
In a separate report, Volkswagen has confirmed to the German media that it might consider setting up another North American plant if the dollar remains as weak as it currently is in relation to the Euro. Volkswagen’s plant in Michigan has been sold previously to Chrysler in 1983.
