2013 Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid: Engines and performance
2013 Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid: Engines and performance. This year 2012 has shown interesting new Volkswagen and was responsible for presentation at the Detroit Motor Show earlier this year. Today, it seems that hybrid technology within the automotive sector has more fluid future electric vehicles. It is for this reason that the German automaker unveiled the new Jetta Hybrid, the hybrid version of the great of the range. The options for this model are extended and become attractive features at a glance, but better when we go into detail.
The Jetta model has been slower to reach Spain in many of territories and not done to convince a large majority.

Technology again plays an important role in the overall vehicle. Many of the items are intended for driving safety and comfort, but one of the goals has been to achieve a higher yield on any vehicle with similar characteristics.
Engines
For this occasion, the Jetta Hybrid is equipped with a 1.4 TSi combining conventional gasoline as fuel, with electric technology through the use of two motors with lithium batteries. A special blend to suit every situation and driving style to ensure maximum performance of the mechanical assembly at all times.
The maximum power combining both propulsion systems is 170CV, some very good benefits as well considering it's a fairly light car, despite its robust appearance and heavy.
Counting only the electric motor develops 20 kW power with zero emissions, of course by not generating any kind of combustion.
Performance
Performance is very close to those offered by the engine available for the conventional version, the 1.4 TSi model. Thus, top speed stands at 200 km / h, maximizing efficiency. As soon as the electric motor is used, you can reach a top speed of 70 km / h, but their autonomy is very limited, short of five miles. However, the combination achieves about 20% less consumption than the conventional version with the same engine.
In Detroit we saw for the first time the hybrid version of the Volkswagen Jetta but have not yet appeared in the markets. During the month of November will in the Americas
