The new Jetta is larger

The new Jetta has been transformed from the Bora to the Jetta with great leap not only in design but also in terms of interior and exterior dimensions. The new Jetta is 4.55 metres long (+ 17.8 cm). The width is 1.78 metres (+ 4.6 cm), the height 1.46 metres (+ 1.3 cm). Like the length, the wheelbase has been increased to 2.58 metres (+ 6.5 cm). The additional centimetres mainly benefit the rear passengers, who gain an extra 6.5 centimetres of legroom.

It has grown so much that it's about the same size (width wise) as the Honda Accord Euro, the Subaru Liberty and the Mercedes C class.
