Exploring the 2024 VW Jetta: A Modern Classic

The Jetta is a fan favorite model because it offers excellent low-torque urban handling and eco-friendly fuel consumption ideal for daily driving. The base S trim comes with a 1.5-liter, four-cylinder turbocharged motor that provides 158 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. This trim has a standard six-speed manual transmission that puts you in control of the Jetta’s acceleration performance. 

The manual S trim has an estimated gas mileage of 29 MPG in the city, 42 MPG on the highway, and 34 MPG combined. If you choose to upgrade to an eight-speed automatic transmission, the fuel efficiency of this sedan is 30 MPG in urban areas, 41 MPG on the interstate, and 34 MPG combined. 

Exterior

One of the standout features of the 2024 Jetta is the wrap-around design of the front headlight and LED signature lights. For the S trim, LED bulbs are standard for daytime running lights and headlights, so you can have a clear view of the road at all times of the day. This model also has LED taillights and body-colored rear bumpers to emphasize the modern sporty style of the sedan. 

The S trim comes with 16-inch aluminum alloy wheels with 16-inch all-season tires that offer excellent on-road performance in warm and moderately cold weather. This model also has automatic headlights and rain-sensing windshield wipers as standard features. Standout exterior color options are Opal White Metallic, Kings Red Metallic, and Rising Blue Metallic. 

Interior

The Jetta is a great option for small families because it has a generous cargo capacity. In the trunk, drivers can easily stow groceries and luggage in the 14.1 cubic feet of space. The second-row bench seat can fold flat to make room for extra cargo if you aren’t driving more than two or three passengers. This model has a five-passenger seating capacity. 

The S trim comes with a 6.5-inch infotainment touchscreen and standard access to App-Connect media streaming directly from smartphones. Bluetooth connectivity is also standard for drivers who want to stream music or send hands-free text messages. This VW also comes with a Volkswagen Digital Cockpit with a fully customizable digital cluster on an eight-inch screen. 

The Jetta continues to please drivers with key performance and convenience features, including an advanced display for real-time vehicle insights. Get in touch with DeMontrond Volkswagen in Houston, TX to learn about custom ordering your Jetta today.
