If you want a smaller sedan that's big on power, the 2021 Jetta has you covered. Each of its five trims is equipped with a turbocharged 1.4L four-cylinder that cranks out 147 hp. This engine is paired with a six-speed manual transmission on its S and R-Line trims, though an eight-speed automatic is standard on SE, SEL, and SEL Premium models.
For a vehicle of its size, the 2021 Volkswagen Jetta offers a surprisingly roomy trunk. In fact, with the rear row intact, you'll find 14.1 cu-ft. of dedicated trunk space on this model. Need additional room for longer items, such as skis or golf clubs? The 60/40 rear seats fold down with ease to increase utility when you need it most.
Enjoy your road trips with fewer stops at the fuel pump with the 2021 VW Jetta's excellent fuel economy. Its base trim with a turbocharged 1.4L four-cylinder engine, six-speed manual transmission, and front-wheel drive gets an EPA-estimated 34 mpg combined.
No matter what you're looking for in a small sedan, the 2021 Jetta has a trim for just about everybody. With five trims to choose from (the base S, SE, R-Line, SEL, and SEL Premium), standard equipment begins with Bluetooth® connectivity, smartphone integration, a 6.5-inch touchscreen display, and a four-speaker sound system. Meanwhile, stepping up to the range-topping SEL Premium trim yields such indulgent features as a built-in navigation system and leather seats.
Every 2021 Jetta is equipped with Volkswagen Car-Net®, which is VW's proprietary mobile app that comes with innovative features like available door locking/unlocking, theft alerts, parked car finder, remote honk and start, and so much more.
