1. A Thrifty and Responsive Powertrain

The new Volkswagen Jetta offers potential buyers a choice between four unique grades, all of which are equipped with a 1.5-liter EA211 turbocharged four-cylinder unit that ensures a smooth ride while boasting some of the best fuel economy ratings in its category. This standard powertrain configuration generates 158 horsepower and 184 pounds of torque, boasting a high-pressure injection system and APS coated cylinder liners.

Available with either a six-speed manual transmission or an eight-speed automatic unit, the 2024 Jetta offers all the responsiveness you need. One of the highlights of this family sedan is its excellent fuel economy ratings, with six-speed manual transmission models achieving EPA estimates of 29 miles per gallon in the city and 42 mpg on the highway. S models with the eight-speed automatic unit, on the other hand, get 30 mpg in the city and 41 mpg on the highway.

Boasting generous passenger space, all models offer 41.1 inches of legroom in the front seats, 37.4 inches in the second row, and 14.1 cubic feet of cargo capacity behind the rear seats.

When it comes to comfort and convenience features, the new Jetta is handsomely equipped and packed with value, making the longest trips smooth and enjoyable. Some of the desirable perks that can be found in base trim levels include an air conditioning system with enhanced air filtration, an auto-dimming interior rearview mirror, a multi-function steering wheel, two USB-C ports, and 60/40-split folding rear seat backs for added cargo capacity.
