While the VW Jetta debuted in 1980, it continues to be a progressive machine. The team at Saskatoon VW has crafted this review to show you how this recently redesigned and still steadfast sedan can elevate your drive in all ways important. Ready to jet ahead? Let's go!

Meet the Volkswagen Jetta

Explore the categories below to discover more about the features of the Volkswagen Jetta.

PERFORMANCE

You may look at the Volkswagen Jetta and see it as fun-sized. You'll soon discover that it's also a joy to drive, proving to be the perfect blend of fun and functional. Plus, its stellar fuel efficiency enables you to travel longer and limit fuel stops--now, that's fun!

Playful Power

Size plays favourably into this sedan's agile handling and ability to take on narrow streets, sharp turns, and smaller parking spots. Of course, when it comes to the heart of a vehicle, you've got to look at its powertrain. In the case of the VW Jetta, that's the 1.5L turbocharged TSI® engine that generates 158 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque.

To harness that power and send the appropriate amount to the wheels, an 8-speed automatic transmission provides seamless shifting. It includes Eco driving mode, which automatically adjusts throttle response, gear shifts, and more to maximize fuel economy--speaking of which. . .

Fuel Sipper

Regardless of which of its three trims you choose, you'll enjoy an efficient ride, with an estimated 8.4 city/6.1 highway L/100 km.^*. Because your Volkswagen makes the most of every drop in the tank, you can keep the fun going kilometre after kilometre.

Two standard features help conserve fuel: speed-sensitive power steering and the engine start/stop system. This power steering system is generally lighter than a hydraulic system and doesn't constantly draw power, so your vehicle will use less fuel. The start/stop system will turn off the engine when idling, like when you brake for a traffic light, so you're not burning fuel while stationary. It will automatically restart when you move your foot to the accelerator.

DESIGN

The overall stance of the VW Jetta is likewise economical. However, its style is substantial, including a new exterior paint colour for the latest model year: Monterey Blue Pearl. From the sleek, sculpted body to its clean, minimalist interior, the proof is in the details--and the Volkswagen Jetta has them in spades.

Streamlined Exterior

The chiseled exterior of the VW Jetta is aerodynamic, cutting through the air like the jet stream it's named for. Its front fascia features upper and lower grilles and LED headlights. Meanwhile, the grille-integrated light bar allows you to see and be seen, shining a spotlight on the road ahead.

Speaking of illumination, show off your athletic side with the Sport Package that adds black accents, an electronic differential lock (XDS) for optimal traction and handling, 18-inch Phantom black alloy wheels, and stainless steel pedals. On select trims, you can enjoy lots of natural light and fresh air with the available Rail2Rail power sunroof that also offers great views of the sky above.

Elegant Interior

Step inside the VW Jetta, and you'll enter a contemporary cabin with a driver-centric cockpit. Its minimalist layout provides everything you need and nothing you don't. Sink into the standard cloth seating (leatherette and leather are also available) as you take your place behind the leather-wrapped steering wheel and gearshift.

Increase the luxury quotient with standard and available features that include:

Dual-zone electronic climate control
Power lumbar support
Heated/ventilated front seats
Heated outboard rear seats
10-colour ambient interior lighting

Still, the 2,682 litres (94.7 cubic feet) of interior space allotted to everyone on board proves that even the base trim of the VW Jetta is anything but basic:

Headroom (front/rear)	Legroom (front/rear)	Cargo Volume
979/945 mm (38.5/37.2 in.)	1,045/949 mm (41.1/37.4 in.)	399 L (14.1 cu. ft.)

Who will join you on your next adventure?

TECHNOLOGY

Innovations abound in the Volkswagen Jetta. They range from infotainment features that will keep you informed and engaged while on the road to ones designed to help keep you and your passengers safe--even when the unexpected happens. Plus, the standard myVW App provides service reminders, maintenance schedules, and access to roadside assistance, enabling you to remain both connected and protected.

Innovative Infotainment

The VW Jetta comes fully equipped with everything you'll need, beginning with the standard Volkswagen Digital Cockpit and its 8-inch digital instrument display. Use the floating 8-inch infotainment touchscreen and App-Connect to access your music, apps, and maps via Apple CarPlay® or Android Auto™, and enjoy hundreds of stations via SiriusXM® satellite radio.

Additional next-level infotainment technologies include a larger 10.25-inch configurable instrument cluster, wireless charging, and satellite navigation. Every trip in the Volkswagen Jetta becomes even more enjoyable. Who knows? It may even prompt you to take the long way home.

Safety Comes Standard

Because Volkswagen takes safety as seriously as you do, all trims of the VW Jetta come outfitted with IQ.DRIVE®, an array of advanced driver-assistance technologies that serves as an extra set of eyes, a vigilant virtual copilot to help protect you and everyone on board. Among the standard and available features are:

Front Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking
Pedestrian detection
Side Assist (Active Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Traffic Alert)
Lane Assist and Travel Assist
And more

Once again, for the latest model year, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has awarded the Volkswagen Jetta a 5-Star Overall Safety Rating, its highest designation. As such, you can be fully confident whenever you get behind the wheel.

Volkswagen Jetta vs. The Competition

At a Glance: Volkswagen Jetta vs. Honda Civic

The Volkswagen Jetta and the Honda Civic are nearly identical in many ways. So, it comes down to minor details. The Rail2Rail power sunroof in the VW Jetta is panoramic, while the available regular moonroof in the Civic is not. You'll also have more exterior colour options, a larger touchscreen, and a larger instrument cluster for easier visibility. It turns out little things mean a lot.

At a Glance: Volkswagen Jetta vs. Hyundai Elantra

The Volkswagen Jetta and the Hyundai Elantra are stars in the sleek sedan space. That said, the Volkswagen model shines brighter, especially in standard safety and comfort features. Adaptive Cruise Control and dual-zone electronic climate control are standard in the VW Jetta. Sadly, neither is true of the Elantra; that, along with its lesser horsepower, causes the Hyundai to dim by comparison.

At a Glance: Volkswagen Jetta vs. Toyota Camry

In comparing vehicles, more and bigger is generally better. More is advantageous when it comes to ambient lighting options that set the right mood. A bigger instrument display is desirable when viewing vital driving information. Then again, sometimes smaller is preferable; it makes manoeuvring into parking spots a breeze. More, bigger, and smaller? Check, check, and check--checking all the boxes is the VW Jetta.
