The next generation Volkswagen Jetta->ke306 has already been spotted testing and it is expected to make its official debut by the end of the year. The U.S. however, should not expect a diesel version to arrive on the US market until early 2011.

The 2011 Volkswagen Jetta is strikingly similar to Volkswagen's New Compact Concept displayed at the 2010 Detroit Auto Show->ke222. The Jetta has lower side lines and a revamped fascia while still maintaining a strong VW face. Following the look of the concept, the Jetta will have integrated Bi-Xenon headlights which will include LED daytime running and turn signal lights.

Under the hood there will be a direct injected TDI engine that will deliver a total of 140 HP and 236 lbs-ft of torque and will be mated to either a six-speed manual gearbox or the six-speed DSG dual-clutch gearbox.
