The third generation of Volkswagen Jetta, the A3, was introduced in 1992. The A3 generation kept the name Jetta for the North American market, yet in Europe, it was now branded as the 'Vento.' While largely powered by inline 4 engines, the third generation Jetta introduced a VR6 engine in the Jetta GLX. Built until 1999, the A3 was replaced by the fourth generation A4 Jetta.
