Volkswagen offers two excellent sedans that appeal to a wide range of drivers. The value-oriented and fuel-efficient VW Jetta is a perfect option for those looking for reliable daily transportation, while the sportier VW Jetta GLI is geared towards those with a penchant for speed and thrills. Today, your local Volkswagen dealership will look closer at these two sedan options to help you make a decision about which is right for you.
1. 2025 VW Jetta
The Jetta is a compact sedan that offers drivers excellent value and fuel economy, making it a popular choice as a daily commuter. Under the hood is a 1.5L turbocharged direct-injection TSI engine that produces 158 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission that comes with a Sport Mode to inject a bit of thrill into the everyday work commute. The base model can achieve an estimated 31 mpg in the city and 41 mpg on the highway.
The simple yet practical interior is centered around the driver, with all controls in easy reach. The front seats are available with heating and ventilation, so you can stay comfortable no matter the outside temperature. The leather-wrapped steering wheel is also built with comfort in mind, with optional heating functions. For 2025, all models feature an upgraded 8-inch infotainment touchscreen with standard smartphone connectivity and a same-size digital cluster gauge.
2. 2025 WV Jetta GLI
The Jetta GLI is the Jetta’s sportier sibling, featuring a 2.0L TSI engine that’s capable of producing 228 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. It pairs with a 7-speed DSG transmission, although a 6-speed manual is an available option for drivers who want more engagement during their daily drives. The GLI’s Adaptive Chassis Control also gives drivers more control over their ride. All you have to do is select a driving mode and your car will manage your suspension for you.
The GLI comes in a single fully loaded trim with heated and ventilated front seats, ambient interior lighting, and a panoramic sunroof. In the trunk, a volume of 14.1 cu.ft. provides enough space for weekly grocery hauls or trips to the airport with luggage. The GLI has the same 8-inch infotainment touchscreen as the Jetta, but features a larger 10.3-inch digital instrument panel. Wireless smartphone connectivity and a Wi-Fi hotspot come as standard features.
Volkswagen’s sedan offerings are diverse enough to appeal to drivers of all kinds, from budget-conscious work commuters to thrill-seeking performance enthusiasts.
