Who’s It For?

Drivers in search of a well-rounded ride with great looks and impeccable driving manners. The 2024 Volkswagen Jetta offers everything you’d expect of a smart and sensible compact sedan, but it also taps into its Germanic roots to deliver a driving experience few other compacts can match. Take advantage of the available SiriusXM with 360L and create curated listening experiences for each driver in your family. Other innovative features like VW Digital Cockpit Pro and App-Connect help keep you informed and in control of your Jetta experience. Consider the Sport model if you’re looking for a Jetta with a sportier mood. Features like black side mirror caps, a black front grille, and a black interior headliner do wonders to completely transform the look and feel of the Jetta. Climbing higher on the trim stack gives you access to leather seating, wireless charging, a heated steering wheel, and a plethora of other must-have features. 

Real World Performance

With a 1.5-liter turbocharged inline 4-cylinder engine under the hood, the 2024 Volkswagen Jetta adds plenty of substance to its abundance of style. You’ll get 158 horsepower backed by a healthy 184 pound-feet of torque – perfect for getting up to speed quickly and even seizing those rare passing opportunities on the open road. A standard 6-speed manual transmission makes your average drive even more exhilarating, although you can opt for an available 8-speed automatic transmission if that’s more your style. With the right configuration, the 2024 Jetta achieves an eye-opening EPA-estimated 42 mpg on the highway and an impressive 29 mpg when cruising along city streets.

Opt for the GLI and you’ll find that 1.5-liter mill replaced with a spicier 2.0-liter turbocharged inline 4-cylinder engine. The latter bangs out an impressive 228 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. You can even get it with your choice of 6-speed automatic transmission or a lightning-fast 7-speed DSG dual-clutch automatic transmission. DCC® adaptive chassis control scans the road ahead up to 200 times per second, allowing it to make split-second adjustments that help maintain both performance and ride comfort.
