Volkswagen of America, Inc. today released the first photos of its face-lifted 2004 Volkswagen Jetta sedan - the top-selling European nameplate sold in the U.S.

Minor but significant exterior changes combine to update the Jetta's dynamic German style. Changes outside include new chrome treatments for the front grille and bumpers, aluminum side body moldings, redesigned taillights, and a sportier trunk-lid edge. Inside, the Jetta's instrument cluster is ringed in aluminum as well.
