What is the meaning of Bora in VW?
Carrying on the wind nomenclature from previous generations, the car was known as the volkswagen bora in much of the world. Bora is a winter wind that blows intermittently over the coast of the adriatic sea, as well as in parts of greece, russia, turkey, and the sliven region of bulgaria. It never quite achieved those dizzy heights, but the bora is a good and smart-looking car all the same, even if its saloon body restricts its practicality. Where it does score over the golf is that, thanks to stiffer suspension and superior body control, it’s a better driver’s car than the car it’s based on.The Bora is very much part of the Volkswagen family and might be described as a sportier-looking ‘mini’ Passat.
Is a VW Bora a Jetta?
Volkswagen introduced the fourth generation of its compact sedan lineup in 1998 with different names for different markets, as Jetta, Bora or Vento, based on the same platform as the Golf MK4. In Europe, the Vento was succeeded by the Bora at the end of 1998. With its rectangular headlights and its sporty, compact notchback body, the Bora, which was produced until 2005, demonstrated a high degree of independence from the technically identical Golf IV.The Volkswagen Bora is a small family car, the fourth generation of the Volkswagen Jetta, and the successor to the Volkswagen Vento.
