At 34 mpg combined, the 2027 Volkswagen Jetta S earns the highest EPA estimate in the lineup, with city and highway figures of 29 and 40, though your own mileage will vary. Its standard list covers LED headlights and taillights, automatic headlights, rain-sensing wipers and heated power mirrors. Sixteen-inch two-tone machined alloys complete the exterior.

New for 2027, KESSY keyless access and push-button start come standard, and Composition Media adds SiriusXM, voice control and six speakers. Rhombus cloth in Titan Black or Storm Gray covers the front comfort seats, and the driver adjusts the seat by hand. IQ.DRIVE comes complete on the S, from Travel Assist to Emergency Assist, and the gauges are an 8-inch Digital Cockpit.

Heated front seats are the headline addition on the 2027 Volkswagen Jetta Sport, and they come wrapped in embossed Molekular cloth in Titan Black. Front sport comfort seats replace the comfort seats of the S. In back, a center armrest with pass-through joins the 60/40 split seat. A black headliner and stainless-steel pedal caps finish the cabin.

Outside, the grille is blacked out, and the window surrounds and mirror caps turn black as well. The grille also gains an integrated light bar, and front accent lights are added. Seventeen-inch two-tone machined alloys replace the 16s. Underneath, the Sport sits 0.6 inch lower than the S on a sport suspension, and the XDS Cross Differential System is fitted as well.

Remote start leads the additions on the 2027 Volkswagen Jetta SE, and it earns its keep on icy Metro East mornings. Wireless charging and a power tilt-and-slide panoramic sunroof are standard too. Inside, the seats change to perforated two-tone leatherette in gray or blue. Power adjustment and power lumbar come to the driver's seat, and the steering wheel and shifter get stitching.

String Figure decor trims the cabin, and the SE keeps heated front seats, sport comfort seats and the rear armrest. Outside, chrome window trim returns, and a different 17-inch two-tone wheel design replaces the Sport alloys. Buyers who want black wheels can add the optional Black Wheels Package, which fits 18-inch black alloys in place of the 17s.
