Why the Volkswagen Jetta is Still a Bestseller in 2025


The Volkswagen Jetta: A Bestseller for Four Decades

Since 1979, the Volkswagen Jetta has been attracting drivers who want an attractive, fuel-efficient, and comfortable sedan. The affordable and versatile sedan is perfect for first-time car buyers. It’s also a great choice for families and drivers looking for an executive-class vehicle.

While other automakers build sedans with comfort, tech, and fuel efficiency that rival the Jetta, only Volkswagen has managed to keep its compact sedan a bestseller for 45 years. You can experience the legendary Jetta for yourself at Colonial Volkswagen near Allentown and Willow Grove.

Fun-to-Drive & Fuel-Efficient

The 2025 Jetta continues the tradition of being a fuel-sipping, feisty compact sedan. It comes standard with a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder with 158 horsepower. All models come with an eight-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. Drivers who want more power and an optional six-speed manual transmission can choose the Jetta GLI sedan with a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine and 228 horsepower.

Fuel economy ratings are dependent on the engine and trim. The entry-level Jetta S gets an EPA-estimated fuel rating of 29 MPG in the city and 39 MPG on the highway. The upgraded Sport, SE, and SEL trims get one more mile per gallon on the highway. Jetta GLI drivers with the six-speed manual transmission will see an EPA-estimated 25/35 MPG, while models with the seven-speed automatic transmission get an EPA-estimated 26/36 MPG.

Attractive Inside & Out

For 40 years, Volkswagen engineers have consistently designed the Jetta with the style and function that drivers want. The 2025 Jetta has a sporty and elegant exterior design with four doors, aggressive headlights, sleek chrome on the front grille and rear bumper, and two-tone machined alloy wheels. Volkswagen adds an optional front-grille light bar for the Sport, SE, and SEL trims. Drivers can choose their Jetta in new colors like Monterey Blue Pearl, Monument Gray, and King’s Red Metallic.

On the inside, the Jetta S comes standard with cloth upholstery and manually adjustable front seats. The SE trim has synthetic leather upholstery, while the top SEL trim has genuine leather seats with heat and ventilation, ambient interior lighting, and a panoramic sunroof.

Loaded with Safety & Infotainment Technology

Volkswagen was one of the first automakers to include adaptive cruise control in all vehicles, and the automaker continues to load all trims with a suite of safety features. The 2025 Jetta comes with Adaptive Cruise Control, Forward Collision Warning, Forward Automatic Emergency Braking, Pedestrian Detection, Blind-Spot Monitoring, Lane-Keep Assist, and Rain-Sensing Windshield Wipers.

Interior tech begins with an 8.0-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth, a pair of USB ports, and a Wi-Fi hotspot. The Jetta SE adds wireless connectivity and device charging along with SiriusXM Satellite Radio and HD Radio. The top SEL trim has a 10.25-inch touchscreen with navigation and a nine-speaker Beats Audio sound system.
