Five Standout Features of the 2025 Volkswagen Jetta

1. VW Digital Cockpit

The VW Digital Cockpit is a digital instrument cluster that neatly organizes all of your key vehicle information into one place. With a single glance, you can check your travel speed, fuel level, and even warning messages on the large, eight-inch interface. The SEL model upgrades the digital cluster with a 10.25-inch VW Digital Cockpit Pro, which is configurable with different themes to match your aesthetic preferences. 

2. Emergency Assist

Emergency Assist, part of the IQ.DRIVE suite of safety technologies, is designed to enhance your on-road safety by monitoring steering wheel input. If the system detects the driver is not actively controlling the steering wheel, the intelligent system will intervene with lane-keeping technology and braking power to bring the Jetta to a smooth and soft stop with the hazard lights turned on.

The 2025 Volkswagen Jetta is the automaker’s take on the compact sedan. It’s comfortable, fuel-efficient, and stylish. To cater to different needs, VW offers buyers a choice of four Jetta trims. Here’s how they stack up.

Exploring the Trim Levels of the 2025 Volkswagen Jetta

The S opens the 2025 Jetta lineup with a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that makes 158 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. EPA estimates come in at 29 mpg in the city and 39 mpg on the highway. VW has tuned the S’s chassis for a comfortable ride and the steering for light effort, so you should be able to cover long distances without feeling worn down.

Interior equipment includes a leather-wrapped steering wheel, manually adjustable cloth seats, a large center console bin, and a trunk space that accommodates seven bags. An eight-inch screen with wired smartphone connectivity takes care of media duty, supported by a four-speaker audio system. Safety is top-notch here, with forward collision warning, automated emergency braking, blind spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert all included.

Sport

As the sportiest Jetta, the Sport features a brake-based limited-slip differential to help with handling and traction, 17-inch wheels (instead of 16-inch ones), cooler cloth seats, an integrated light bar in the front grille, stainless steel pedal caps, and blacked-out exterior trim pieces. On the comfort side are heated front seats, dual-zone climate control, and a 60/40 split-folding rear seat with center armrest and pass-through.

SE

The Jetta SE builds on the base S model by upgrading nearly every feature. The seats now use CloudTex, a material that’s easy to clean, somewhat water-resistant, and more durable than leatherette. The driver’s seat gains power adjustability and heating. Wireless CarPlay and Android Auto come standard, replacing the wired versions.
Amenities debuting at this level include a remote engine start system, keyless entry with push-start button, wireless charging, a six-speaker sound system, and a fast-charging USB-C port for back-seat riders. A sunroof is available as an option.
