The fourth generation of VW's Golf sedan, this generation the Bora, was introduced in July 1999 and ended in 2006. It was also called the Jetta, City Jetta, Bora Classic and Clasico. The Bora was a small to medium-sized sedan also sold as a wagon. Volkswagen used this car as a competitor to cars like the Mitsubishi Lancer and Toyota Corolla sedan.
The engines used were the I4, VR5 and VR6 petrol and 1.9 I4 SDI diesel. In 2004, VW introduced Pumpe-Duse direct injection. The transmissions used were 02J, 02M, 01M, 09A and 09G. It employed the use of disc brakes and featured ABS.
Safety results were very good. The Bora got a mixture of 4 and 5-star crash test results thanks to features such as laser welding and side curtain airbags. The wheelbase was slightly longer than the previous model despite the fact that the length was shorter. In Mexico, China, Colombia, Canada, Dominica, Brazil, and Argentina, the car continued to sell alongside the Mk 5 Jetta.
