After the Golf, the Jetta is undoubtedly the best-known Volkswagen model. A few years ago, the sedan was completely redesigned from head to toe and now offers an even bolder design that makes the Jetta even more desirable. And this year, the 2022 Jetta gets a range of improvements including a more powerful engine, more features, and more standard equipment.
Faithful to the brand, the 2022 Jetta still offers sublime handling and a level of interior quality and craftsmanship worthy of a luxury brand. That said, the Jetta gets an upgraded engine this year, a 1.5 L turbocharged inline 4-cylinder engine developing 158 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque. The 2022 Volkswagen Jetta still features the most powerful base engine in the segment in terms of torque. In terms of fuel consumption, the Jetta shines just as well with its average of 5.9 L/100 km.
Based on Volkswagen's superb transverse modular platform (MQB), the 2022 Jetta has a longer wheelbase, is wider and has a shorter front overhang, which gives it a more elegant, but athletic look. The MQB platform also allows the Jetta to offer even more interior space. Indeed, the 2022 Volkswagen Jetta has more head, knee and shoulder room than the previous generation.
The 2022 Volkswagen Jetta is also even more sophisticated than before. Standard features include a large number of sought-after features, such as heated front seats, air conditioning, LED front and rear headlights, and a now standard Digital Cockpit instrument cluster to name a few. There are also a host of new optional technologies like the BeatsAudio system, interior ambient lighting, digital cockpit and ventilated front seats.
The Volkswagen Jetta isn’t one of the most popular sedans in the world for nothing. With over 18 million Jetta units sold since 1979, the Jetta has built a loyal following of passionate enthusiasts. The new Jetta keeps everything we love about the VW compact sedan, but adds the features buyers want.
