Volkswagen’s 2027 Jetta comes in four main trims, ranging from the base Jetta S at $23,995 to the premium Jetta SEL at $29,995.

Each configuration caters to specific driving preferences and luxury expectations. The base Jetta S provides essential modern technology including an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment display, LED exterior lighting, and comprehensive safety monitoring. Upgrading to the Jetta Sport adds athletic aesthetic styling, including 17-inch alloy wheels, black exterior accents, a front grille light bar, and the XDS® Cross Differential System for enhanced cornering traction.

For buyers focused on everyday comfort, the Jetta SE delivers premium interior appointments like V-Tex leatherette seating surfaces, an 8-way power-adjustable driver seat, dual-zone automatic climate control, wireless device charging, and keyless access with push-button start. The top-tier Jetta SEL elevates the compact sedan experience to entry-luxury levels by adding real leather upholstery, ventilated front seats, heated outboard rear seats, a panoramic sunroof, a 10.25-inch Digital Cockpit Pro instrument cluster, integrated navigation, and a premium BeatsAudio sound system.

While exploring compact sedan choices, buyers considering larger family vehicles like a new Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport model or comparing against our pre-owned vehicle selection will find that the Jetta offers remarkable cabin space for its exterior footprint.

Engine & Performance (continued)

What Engine and Performance Specs Does the 2027 Volkswagen Jetta Have?

The 2027 Volkswagen Jetta features a standard 1.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that generates 158 hp at 5,500 rpm and 184 lb-ft of torque starting at 1,750 rpm.

Engineered for punchy low-end acceleration and outstanding efficiency, this engine pairs exclusively with an eight-speed automatic transmission featuring Tiptronic® manual shifting capability. Power is sent strictly to the front wheels, providing responsive front-wheel drive handling across changing weather conditions. Fuel economy stands at an EPA-estimated 29 city / 40 hwy mpg, yielding an impressive overall highway driving range on its 13.2-gallon fuel tank.

For drivers commuting daily along I-271 from Solon, this high highway efficiency provides substantial fuel savings without sacrificing merge acceleration. Torque peaks early in the RPM band, giving the sedan quick throttle response during city driving and highway passing maneuvers. Drivers seeking sports-car output can also look to the enthusiast-tuned Jetta GLI, which equips a larger 2.0L engine delivering 228 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque through a 7-speed DSG® dual-clutch transmission.

Shoppers interested in exploring trade-in opportunities to upgrade their commute can value their trade-in online before scheduling a test drive. For families needing even greater interior space, our team can also present options like a new Volkswagen Atlas SUV.

What Is Included in the Volkswagen IQ.DRIVE Safety System?

The IQ.DRIVE system includes semi-automated driving technology featuring Travel Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go, Front Assist, Active Blind Spot Monitor, Rear Traffic Alert, Lane Assist, and Emergency Assist.

By combining millimetre-wave radar sensors with camera technology, IQ.DRIVE manages steering, braking, and acceleration during highway cruising and heavy traffic conditions. Travel Assist acts as a hands-on semi-automated driving assistant that keeps the vehicle centered in its lane while maintaining a preset distance from cars ahead. During stop-and-go conditions along historic stoplight corridors in Bedford, Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go can bring the car to a complete stop and resume speed automatically when traffic moves forward.

Safety is further enhanced by Front Assist, which incorporates forward collision warning and autonomous emergency braking down to 3 mph. Standard safety tech across all trims also features an automatic accident data recorder, emergency call capability, and a driver monitoring system. In crash safety evaluations, the Jetta earned an overall five-star rating from NHTSA, including five stars in side-impact testing.

Shoppers planning their next purchase can start by getting pre-approved for financing online to review customized rate and payment structures.

Safety & Driver Assistance

Safety and driver-assistance features by trim

All trims including the 1.5T S, 1.5T SE, 1.5T SEL, 1.5T Sport, and 2.0T GLI Autobahn DSG come standard with essential safety features such as ABS, Isofix preparation, and height adjustable head restraints for both front and rear seats (two front and three rear). Each trim also includes pre-tensioners and height-adjustable seat belts for both driver and front passenger, as well as 3-point rear seat belt for the center rear seat along with standard rear seat belts for driver and passenger positions.

Each trim is equipped with comprehensive anti-collision systems branded as Front Assist, featuring automatic emergency braking, brake light activation, seat belt activation, low speed front braking, a driver monitor, and an emergency driver intervention system. These systems activate at a minimum speed of 3 mph and operate at speeds above 130 kph/78 mph.

Additional standard safety features across all trims include a millimetre-wave sensor for distance and object sensing technology, an emergency call system, and an accident data recorder to provide thorough driver assistance and accident response capabilities.

How Do the Jetta SE and Premium SEL Trims Compare?

The Jetta SE focuses on everyday luxury and comfort value, whereas the Jetta SEL adds high-end digital technology, real leather seating, and upgraded audio features.

When local shoppers visit our showroom to compare trims, the question that comes up most often is whether the price jump from the SE to the SEL is justified by the upgraded cabin features. The Jetta SE provides an excellent balance of comfort and practical luxury, featuring durable V-Tex leatherette upholstery, dual-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, wireless smartphone charging, and an 8-way power driver seat.

Stepping up to the Jetta SEL adds refined elements designed for drivers who desire a premium vehicle feel. The SEL replaces leatherette with genuine leather seating surfaces, adds ventilated front seats for summer cooling, and includes heated rear outboard seats for passenger comfort. Tech highlights on the SEL include the multi-view 10.25-inch Digital Cockpit Pro, integrated touchscreen navigation, ambient interior lighting, a power panoramic sunroof, and a high-fidelity BeatsAudio sound system. For buyers seeking luxury features in an efficient compact package, the SEL delivers premium amenities usually reserved for higher vehicle classes.
