The standard powertrain throughout the Jetta lineup is a 1.5-liter, four-cylinder gas motor that is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drivetrain. The engine produces 158 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. An ECO driving mode is a standard mechanical feature, along with vented front disc brakes, an anti-lock braking system, and electro-mechanical power-assisted steering.
S
The base trim comes with 17-inch two-tone alloy wheels, LED daytime running lights, LED headlights, and a Coming Home/Leaving Home courtesy headlight system. This VW sedan has heated, power-adjustable side mirrors that can fold close to the sedan body to protect mirror caps from damage.
The cabin features a multi-functional, leather-wrapped steering wheel that can activate pass-through phone features, audio controls, and certain display settings. The S trim has a five-passenger seating capacity with a 60/40 rear bench seat. Key convenience features include an eight-inch VW Digital Cockpit, an eight-inch multi-functional center screen, and Bluetooth connectivity.
Sport
The Sport model comes with a stainless steel pedal cluster, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, and an electronic parking brake. A space-saving, lightweight spare tire is part of the standard equipment package to ensure you can change a flat in an emergency. This model also comes with blacked-out features, such as the front grille, bumper trim, and window trim.
SE
The third-tier trim has a power-adjustable driver’s seat with lumbar support, heated front seats, and soft CloudTex & V-Tex leatherette seating material. Convenience features like an overhead storage compartment, a front USB-C charging port, and illuminated vanity mirrors are standard. Drivers can start the engine remotely or use the push-button ignition for keyless start-ups.
Technology features include HD Radio, a three-month SiriusXM trial, and wireless App-Connect so you can access your favorite apps on the road. Drivers can opt for upgrades like a panoramic sunroof that tilts or slides open for customized cabin ventilation or 18-inch dark graphite alloy wheels with all-season tires.
SEL
The highest trim level has 18-inch two-toned alloy wheels, a front grille with an integrated light bar, and side mirrors with turn signals. The SEL has high-end features like a heated steering wheel, actively ventilated front seats, and multi-color ambient lighting.
