1. Jetta S

Each of the 2024 Volkswagen Jetta trims has a 158-horsepower engine with front-wheel drive, and the two base models come with a six-speed manual transmission. The base model incorporates generous standard tech including two USB ports, a 6.5-inch touchscreen infotainment system with smartphone integration, a rearview camera, Bluetooth, and an 8-inch digital instrument display. It also has more than 14 cubic feet of cargo space with 60/40 split-folding rear seats for easy access.

The Lane Assist and Travel Assist driver assistance packages come in every 2024 Jetta trim, as well as adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning with auto emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert. The S model also features automatic headlights, heated side mirrors, rain-sensing windshield wipers, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, and LED headlights and taillights.

2. Jetta Sport

The Sport trim trades out the standard 16-inch alloy wheels for a 17-inch version. Additional exterior touches for this Jetta model include black mirror caps, a black headliner, sport bumpers, and a black front grille with an integrated light bar. You’ll also enjoy heated front sport seats.

3. Jetta SE

The top two Jetta trims switch out the manual transmission for an eight-speed automatic with a fuel-saving engine stop-start system. This powertrain delivers exceptional fuel economy of up to 41 highway miles per gallon.

Upgrades in the Jetta SE include a power-adjustable driver’s seat, two-zone automatic climate control, synthetic leather upholstery, two additional USB ports, and keyless entry with push-button start. This model also incorporates the Emergency Assist system.

4. Jetta SEL

With this top-tier Jetta trim, you’ll enjoy a panoramic sunroof with power tilt and slide, ambient interior lighting, heated second-row outboard seats, selectable driving modes, an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system, and a heated steering wheel. The Jetta SEL also features genuine leather upholstery and ventilated front seats, along with a premium BeatsAudio sound system, wireless charging, and a larger driver information screen.

Boasting among the lowest estimated costs of maintenance in its class, the Jetta is a smart buy for just about any driver. It has a Great predicted reliability score from JD Power and Associates as well as a five-star overall crash test rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
