I was wondering if there was anywhere I could find out the differences between the 2014 and 2015 Jettas? Family member is looking at getting one (S, SE, or TDI), can't figure out what the changes are.

Thanks!

I compared two at the dealership the other day. I wasnt able to check interior or drivetrain differences but as for the exterior....
Front end
1) The front bumper cover is different, flater on top with no bump in the center where it rises to meet the grill, it also has a slightly different look. (sorta like the difference between the 14 tdi and se models different but very similiar).
2) Grill now contours around the head light and is bigger/taller.
3) Same headlights
4) Same hood
Rear end
1) Decklid is different to accept the new tail lights(in the decklid) and is wider on the bottom, more straight up and down as compared to the older curved decklid
2) inner tail lights angle up for the bottom rather then being flat
3) Different bumper cover, required because of the new decklid.
4) And of course the new bumper cover is slightly differnt...very minorly modifed
Asside for these few changes on the front and rear, every looks exactly the same. Keep in mind that every model has difference between them, like comparing a S to a SEL you will get a slightly different look.
