Volkswagen’s Jetta has earned a reputation for excellent value and dependable performance. In its latest generation, the compact sedan looks more stylish than ever while offering luxurious amenities for an affordable price. Here’s a guide to the 2024 Volkswagen Jetta‘s many compelling features.
Power and Performance
The Jetta’s sole powerplant comes in the form of a turbocharged 1.5L inline-4 engine making 158 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. Base S models distribute that healhy output through a standard 6-speed manual transmission while all other trims offer a smooth, precise 8-speed automatic. Either way, drivers will enjoy effortless acceleration and impressive efficiency with a fuel economy of at least 40 MPG highway.
Owing to its well-tuned independent strut front suspension and torsion beam rear suspension, the Jetta displays solid agility and stability in the turns. Sport models are even more responsive and nimble with their sport-tuned suspension and the XDS Cross Differential System, which acts like a limited-slip differential to enhance traction.
Passenger Cabin
Like the Jetta’s exterior, its cabin is elegant without being flashy, plus it features a good amount of high-quality materials and interestingly textured surfaces. A tilting and telescoping steering wheel and a 6-way adjustable driver’s seat come standard, making it easy to find a comfortable driving position. As a reminder of the Sport trim’s racier nature, it gets more deeply bolstered sport seats and a black headliner.
On the SE trim, you’ll find deluxe comforts like a Climatronic dual-zone climate control system, 8-way power adjustability and lumbar support for the driver, and heated seats. The Jetta becomes especially luxurious with its SEL trim and its genuine leather upholstery, ventilated front seats, and heated steering wheel. The SEL’s standard tilt-and-slide power panoramic sunroof and ambient lighting serve as great mood enhancers.
Multimedia
S, Sport, and SE models feature a 6.5-inch infotainment touchscreen system with smartphone integration and USB connectivity. It allows users to stream audio using Bluetooth technology, as well. The 8-inch touchscreen system on the SEL adds support for connected navigation and SiriusXM satellite radio. Audiophiles will certainly want to consider the SEL since it comes equipped with a powerful 9-speaker BeatsAudio premium sound system.
Driver Assistance Technology
Along with having earned a five-star crash safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Jetta keeps you and your passenger safe with standard assists like forward collision warnings and automated emergency braking. The standard blind-spot monitoring system includes rear cross-traffic alerts that give you more confidence when you need to back out of your parking spot.
The handsome Jetta easily continues to be one of the best bangs for the buck in its segment. Stop by at Doral Volkswagen in Doral, FL today and take it for a ride!
