If you are looking for a used Volkswagen Jetta, this quick buyer’s guide should help you better understand this model.
The 7th generation Volkswagen Jetta
The latest generation of the Volkswagen Jetta was redesigned in 2019. That means that the Jetta vehicles that you find on the pre-owned market offer many of the same amenities that you will find in a new Volkswagen Jetta. The redesign brought with it a digital instrument cluster and all of the advanced driver assistance and safety features currently available in new vehicles.
The powertrain is a 1.4 litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 184 pound-feet of torque, a characteristic that made this engine the most powerful in its class in the last few years. The 2.0-litre powertrain also delivers 147 hp, meaning that you always have plenty of power under your right foot. An eight-speed automatic was introduced to the Jetta a few years ago, and when it was included in the Jetta has lineup it was actually one of the few eight-speed automatics on the market.
This provides distinct benefits for pre-owned Volkswagen Jetta buyers including improved fuel economy as well as smoother shifts and better overall comfort.
There were multiple versions of the Jetta in 2019 and beyond, including:
- Comfortline Manual
- Comfortline Auto
- Highline Manual
- Highline Auto
- Execline Manual
- Execline Auto
The manual models feature a 6-speed manual gearbox that delivers an average fuel consumption rating of just 7.8 litres per 100 kilometres in the city, and 5.9 litres per 100 kilometres on the highway. As for the 8-speed automatic, it averages the same on the highway, and 7.9 litres per 100 kilometres in the city.
Every version of the 2019-2022 Jetta has heated front seats, and air conditioning. You will also find cooled seats in the Execline model, and over 400 litres of total cargo space.
