Jetta Mk II (Typ 16E/19E / 1G2), 1984 – 1992

The second generation of the Jetta (Type 16E/19E, later 1G2) was available from the beginning of 1984, again as a two- or four-door model. The two new Golf and Jetta models were developed together; the appearance of the Jetta II was more harmonious than that of its predecessor. Grown in every respect, the boot now offered a capacity of 660 litres according to VDA measurements. A folding rear seat bench was also available exclusively for the all-wheel-drive variants.

The FAW-VW Jetta (type 1GD from 1997) was still built in China until 2013. There were various facelifts (1997, 2002, 2010) to adapt the model to the respective VW design line. Since 1997, the vehicle has therefore had little in common with the models built mostly in Germany until 1991.
