This refresh cycle introduces noteworthy changes to the iconic 2025 Volkswagen Jetta, making it sleeker, sportier, and more desirable.
The car now has a more sophisticated and premium look with its revamped front bumper, grille, and LED headlights, which I've come to adore. A new lightbar design and trunk lid around the back add a touch of modernity and are sure to impress.

Volkswagen is known for creating chic and comfortable interiors using premium materials and sound design, and the 2025 Jetta is no exception. A newly designed dash features a stylized three-bar accent that reaches from the driver's side to the passenger side and blends in with the air vents.
A large digital display cluster and an eight-inch infotainment center, which are larger than previous Jettas, come standard. The dual-zone climate control system is controlled by a new touchscreen control panel.
Cloth seats are standard, and leather and leatherette options are available depending on your model.
2025 Volkswagen Jetta Specs

The 2025 Volkswagen Jetta is the last Volkswagen to offer a manual transmission, and we are forever grateful for that. Hopefully, Volkswagen will come to its senses and bring this option to the next Golf GTI.
The base model Jetta will be powered by the same turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission as last year's model. This drivetrain produces 158 horsepower and gives drivers a responsive and efficient ride.
The GLI trim features larger brakes, a VAQ electronically-controlled torque-sensing limited-slip differential, a DCC® adaptive damping system, and a sport exhaust system, adding to its street racer appeal.
