With the Jetta, Volkswagen invented the idea of the booted hatchback, given a separate name and made to look a bit grander to sell at a higher price than its Golf sister. This 1983 UK brochure, from late in the car's life, features an LX special edition version with modest 1272cc power.

The big selling-point for the Jetta was its unusually cavernous boot, which the brochure noted offered more space than the ubiquitous Ford Cortina. LX specifications included chrome trim embellishments, a factory-fitted steel sunroof, front foglamps and fancy wheel trims.

It helped that some markets would continue to be very fond of car with boot Vs hatchback for some years
